    Some confusion with who ordered which (is this lamb jalfrazi or lamb tikka bhuna etc) and we were asked to leave while one of our party was using the bathroom. But other than that, excellent service. Food delicious as always!

    We’ve been to City Spice many times and tried their other location. Food is always good. The chicken thetul tanga bhujon is my wife’s favourite chicken curry.

    Great location and very affordable for some top-notch Indian food. May seem like just a standard curryhouse, but after visiting I can see why the restaurant has won so many awards

    A beacon for great food. I am a local, so finding a dependable curryhouse is important whenever I am craving some Indian food. Thankfully, City Spice always hits the spot for me and my friends.

    Safe to say after such an amazing experience at City Spice last night, I will be putting this place as my go to for recommendations to friends and family whenever they need an excellent indian meal. Gunpowder chicken was my highlight of the evening.
