Reviews Summary
Spice Tandoori is recognized for its award-winning Indian cuisine and unique atmosphere in a former church setting. Diners praise the generous portions and friendly service, especially for special occasions.

"Best Indian in the North East!!! We visit alot with work or friends, Even a takeaway at home. Food is amazing. Friendly staff and always a great experience. Thank you"
Paul Riddoch
"Good family restaurant with nice atmosphere, Food was ok but only 4 start, the starters were great but the curry dishes need a little more spice. The Pasanda and Masala were far too sweet. The Biryani was amazing but the Chilli Garlic whilst was nice it was not hot enough needed much more chilli and garlic. The mushroom rice and keema naan was to die for. Overall 4 stars and recommended, we will be going back but will be ordering hotter dishes next time."
Paul Billany
"Nice ambience, comfortable seats. Authentic Indian experience. Special shout out to the Sag panir which was heavenly. The main dishes were full of flavour and not spicy overall very tasty and delicious. However, I felt that the pakora was not freshly made and was soggy."
