However, we decided to give it another chance in mid to late May and I'm pleased to say that it was back to its excellent quality that we had enjoyed when we first started dining there a few years ago. Both the onion and lime pickle chutneys were fresh and delicious, the poppadoms were incredibly crisp, and both my wife's chicken Balti and my vegetable Pathia were absolutely delicious with their unique flavors. I particularly appreciated that they asked me how spicy I wanted my dish, as the Pathia was described as medium hot. Although it took longer than usual for our food to arrive, it was well worth the wait. Overall, the food was fantastic and we hope it continues to be this way.

Every curry I have ordered recently tastes very similar, with no distinct flavors that make each dish unique. Even the spicier dishes lack any noticeable heat. The garlic naans also lack the garlic flavor they used to have. It seems like the restaurant may have lost its regular chefs or cooks, as the once excellent takeaway has been on a downward slide. Sadly, after my last disappointing experience, I have decided to stop ordering from the Spice Jar. It's a real shame, as we used to recommend it to others in our area, but it has now fallen off our radar.

The food is consistently delicious, with a wide variety of dishes and sides to choose from, all at a reasonable price. The delivery usually takes about 45 minutes, but it's worth the wait for such tasty food. We always stick with Spice Jar because we've never been disappointed with a meal from them. It's best to stick with what you know is good.
