   Was very disappointed with our visit to Spiced. The atmosphere was great and the menu was good. However the service was very disappointing. The man who served us was unfriendly and gave no eye contact whilst taking our order. The service was very slow - we had to ask several times for additional drinks/water. When we asked for additional rice and nan, we were told that the kitchen was closed. Shortly after this, a large table behind us (who clearly knew the staff) ordered additional Nan bread and they received it. We felt this was very unprofessional and therefore we will not be returning. Certain guests should not be preferred over others - and if it is done, it certainly shouldn’t be so blatant.

   Really good food, really good staff. Amazing location. If at all any improvement to recommend, delay in deliver g food post the order. But if you are with friends or family, the wait does not matter.

   Service was ar best bery slow. We were ignored by the waiting staff most of the time, and had to cancel some of the food. We spoke to the manager and complained. Shame, because the food was excellent. We will try again just in case the waiting staff is better managed.

   The food was tasty and fresh but the service was very disorganised. It took an incredibly long time to place our drinks and then food order, and despite asking multiple times, our drinks didn’t all come until after the second appetiser. We were brought other people’s drinks 4 times, and our wine order was misunderstood. Despite the servers all being friendly, no one seemed to know what the other was doing which soured the experience. Once the food started coming out, it was delivered fast and it tasted good. The samosas were very flavourful and the garlic naan and butter chicken were great. The prawns in a green coconut curry unfortunately didn’t have a lot of flavour. The food was good enough that I would return, but I hope that the service will be better in the future.

   Took far too long to get drinks and service in general. Menu had changed since we'd last been there, which was a shame as dishes we'd really liked had been removed. We ordered the Lentil Fritters as one share dish, which came out as a bowl of slushy yoghurt and brown sauce with a couple of crackers stuck in the top. The waitress was most put out when I told her the dish was not as described and we didn't want it. I had to pick up the plate and ask three times for her to take it away. Ten minutes later we got another slushy yoghurt dish which we again had to return. Communication was a shocker. Food was OK but with such bad service I wouldn't go back. When paying the bill I had to ask for the slushy yoghurt bowl (supposedly lentil fritters) to be removed or we would have been paying for it. It seemed obvious they hoped we wouldn't notice. Not impressed and won't be back.

   Garlic naan is not strong, main veg are not flavored well. Small portion and need to wait for 5 confusing service crew to take drink order.

   If you are coming for ambience the restaurant is fine. For quality of food and charges for it, do not come here.

    Good food! It's in a great location, so it's a must-try. Service is a 3/5, but if you're lucky, you get served by some very energetic waiters who would want you to try more stuff. The others just don't pay any attention to you most of the time or are very cold to you. They keep taking away the menus even if you ask them that you need one for your table to decide and order more stuff lol. But I guess that's not a big deal. Overall, a must-try if you're looking for good Indian food along with a good view.
