What Keith T doesn't like about Spice Bank:
I have dined at this restaurant several times in the past, but not in the last five years. I recently took some friends there because it used to serve decent curry. Unfortunately, it seems that the restaurant has changed ownership. The Chicken Pakoras were overcooked and tough, and the Nawabi Khana was very bland with no heat. We also found four bones in our dish, so diners should be cautious. Our guests experienced... View all feedback. What Marek Luoto likes about Spice Bank:
We got here quite late and they were able to accommodate us while all other restaurants in the area were busy. We had two mix grills and beer the food was good, tandoori chicken was a little bland. Service was good, overall a good experience and a decent Indian restaurant. View all feedback.

I’d heard (on the local ‘grapevine’ , that this restaurant likes cash… and it’s true! I’m not suggesting that they don’t declare everything to Mr Taxman, but th...

The restaurant received mixed reviews recently, with some diners experiencing overcooked, bland food with bones in their dishes. However, others found the food delicious, especially when ordering a takeaway. The service was a point of contention for some, with rude staff and a cold atmosphere. Despite this, the lamb dishes and garlic naan were highlights for many diners. Overall, the restaurant may benefit from improvements in food consistency and service quality to maintain a positive reputation. A takeaway option is recommended for those looking to enjoy the flavors of the cuisine without the dining experience concerns.

Not great. Sauces all taste the same and even poppadumms were damp. Service is ok but not a great atmosphere

Although we had made sure we have booked a table, when we turned up, there had been no table reserved for us. That meant we had to wait to be seated and receive...
