The food was delicious. The owner was very helpful, but some of the wait staff seemed to have trouble understanding some of the menu items. Overall, it was a good experience and I would definitely come back to eat here again. View all feedback.

Just had an underwhelming experience at the Indian restaurant I visited yesterday with my family. The atmosphere was alright, but unfortunately the food didn't live up to expectations. It lacked any real flavor or aroma of Indian spices definitely needs some improvement! #indianrestaurant #disappointingexperience

We visited Riverspice over the weekend. The staff were very attentive and made my Birthday meal special. The food was amazing will definitely be visiting again soon.

7pm Saturday, as a group of 6, when there were only a few other tables occupied, it should have been quite reasonable to get our food in half an hour or do. We didnt even have starters apart from poppadoms and only ordered a main each, 2 sides, 3 rice 2 naan, so an easy order. We started asking how much longer for our food after 45mins, then every 10mins or so, and were promised it was on the way. After an hour and a half, the couple on the table next to us left, and we finally received ours shortly afterwards. Minus 1 rice and the waiter then argued and insisted we'd only ordered 2. Yes the food was very good, but it's very clear that their takeaway trade takes priority over the restaurant guests who are paying more plus buying high priced drinks while they wait. Deliveroo were in and out constantly. It would be far quicker to sit in the car park just before your table was booked, order a takeaway for collection then carry it into the restaurant and sit down at your table and ask for plates and drinks! A group of 14 came in about an hour after us and were still waiting for theirs when we left, I dread to think how long they waited. It's a shame, it's a great location, great food but if you go out for a meal with friends for a celebration, you really want to feel welcome, and not be irritated by having to constantly chase for the food, and again to pay.

I am writing this review based on an incident that occurred on Sunday, December 27, 2015 at around 12:15 at Riverside Spice. A staff member who identified himself as the manager, but refused to give us his name, was extremely rude and aggressive towards me and my family. He became upset when I asked for an additional five minutes to decide on our order from the menu, stating that we were wasting his time. Ultimately, we decided to leave, and he raised his voice and forcefully asked us to leave, claiming that we were the ones wasting his time.
