Had a great takeaway this evening from Queens Spice, a couple of Mixed started followed by a Lamb Bhuna and Lamb Tikka, very enjoyable and highly recommended. Staff are friendly, and if you have the time , have a pint of Kingfisher while you wait.

First Christmas Day meal at Queens Spice. Warmest of welcomes from the owner and his staff. Excellent, knowledgeable table service delivering delicious food. For me, the most pleasant surprise was that the menu was printed, black on white, in large print. I have an eyesight problem and normally have to ask someone else to read the menu. Well done Queens Spice for making it easy for me.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy New Year.

Very attentive and friendly staff and amazing food. We're not local, but make an attempt to get to Queens Spice anytime we're near. Even during covid times, recommend booking a table for the busy times (Friday, Saturday nights). Highly recommended, and we will be back as soon as we're back in town.

Just been in restaurant this evening and I had the most delicious patia. This is my second review and I cant state highly of what I think of the dish I recieved. I have always picked lamb patia in most restaurants I have been to and they have all differed in taste and this i think was up among the highest dishes i have tasted. The restaurant was quiet with a lot of deliveries and we noticed we were the only ones sitting in. It was a Tuesday though and raining so maybe most just wanted to stay in. People who have not tryed the restaurant should give it a try. It won't dissappiont.
