Spice Garden Winlaton - Gateshead

Absolutely terrible service ordered the meal online through the website and received email confirmation after 1 hour 15 rang to be told they hadn’t received the order then told ahhh yes it’s here but it’ll take another 15 mins plus delivery. Absolutely shocking!!!

Ordered a takeaway at 5pm and it arrived 2 hours 10 minutes later after several phone calls. Online order advised of 45 minutes till delivery. After an hour I was told be with me In 10 minutes due to traffic problems. Then another 25 minutes told it was five minutes away! Eventually it came. It was the delivery drivers first delivery of the evening!! Food was very nice but shame about the poor service I received! won’t be ordering again. When is said I wasn’t happy with service I was offered money off the next time I order! We were on holiday so this was no use to me at all!

Friday night visit, early evening until 9pm and during that time, we were the only people in there! The restaurant is tatty and bodged-up in places. Chairs are very rickety! The food is OK but not good. Bring your own booze keeps the cost down but not so good for cold drinks.

What else can I say.... The staff are great and the food is excellent, even the style of the menu is appealing. A liitle hidden gem ! We have only just tried the takeout food and cant wait to try dining in. The garlic nan is best ever and the Lamb tikka madras and chicken Bhuna were tasty, vibrant in colour and all fresh. Even the egg pillau had proper fresh scrambled eggs in it. The chicken chatt (with extra heat at my request) was the best one I've had and the sauces with the pompodoms were lovely and thick and not watered down Please dont expand and go to big as this may spoil it. Stay as you are, the place and food is fab Well done Ps.... The staff are funny, welcoming and super friendly Gold stars all round

We went here for a lads curry night... the waiter was a good laugh joining in with our banter... fair play to him as we were quite loud. We had the mixed kebab starter and bhajis with a couple of popadoms each... very nice. I had the lamb bhuna with rice and chips... also very nice... the tikka naan was a bit dry though and burnt on the underside... You can take your own drink which saves you a fortune... this place is well worth a visit... 4 stars
