What Heather Dunmoyer likes about Forest Spice:
Dined here last night with my boyfriend for a date. The atmosphere was incredibly cosy, with lovely decoration. The food was absolutely incredible, possibly the best curry I've ever had served piping hot, all in separate bowls so you can control how much you put on your plate and how much you'd like to take home if you'd like to. The owner and waiter were very accommodating, making sure you are happy with your meal.... View all feedback. What johnnyroadmap doesn't like about Forest Spice:
After reading the reviews, we decided to visit this restaurant as our first choice was closed. The restaurant is stylish, modern, and has a nice ambiance. It appeared to be popular because of the number of people seeking tables and getting takeout orders. However, we were disappointed with the food, as it lacked flavor and was quite tasteless.

We visited on a Monday evening. Food was excellent as was the service. Good value for money and would definitely visit again if in the area

Forest Spice offers a modern and stylish atmosphere that draws in crowds both for dining and takeout. While some diners rave about the incredible flavors and attentive service, others face disappointment with bland dishes and uncharacteristically unfriendly service. Many praised standout items like the Pathia and enjoyed the cozy decor, while others noted inconsistencies, such as dry meat and lukewarm meals. Overall, the experience at Forest Spice can vary significantly, leaving patrons hoping for a more uniform standard in both food quality and service on future visits.
