1498 The Spice Affair - Spalding

Eating, personal and restaurant absolutely excellent. went not to know what to expect and incredibly surprised. the best I've had for many years. will make sure that it will be my second home.

This restaurant makes the best pork Vindaloo that I have ever tasted. I have eaten in some of the most renowned eastern cuisine establishments and I can say without a shadow of doubt that the flavour is out of this world and that the succulent chunks of meat melted in my mouth. The wine list is also handsome and I particularly enjoyed the Indian Shiraz offered to me by the jolly host and his team. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself.

Fabulous Birthday meal. Six of us pre booked, so that we could all be enlightened with the new menu. (re visit for the 9th time) Started with the cod croquettes, served with small salad and a dual dip. Yum. For main had the paneer masala, then added in a black bean daal which was amazing. Finished off with a strawberry flute. Recommended for friendly staff who don't hurry you. Lovely drinks the Red lion bar (adjoining). Good comfortable seating. Please visit when you have time, I'd thoroughly recommend it

Wednesday curry night, 12 quid for mixed starter , poppadoms pickles, main course, side, rice and naan. We are picky gluten free types and were readily catered for. Best Indian food since visiting India, maybe better. Coffee creamers are a bit retro : One of the best meals I've had in a while.

We received a warm welcome from the very courteous staff upon arrival, and that level of service continued throughout our stay. The food was excellent, as always, and our server, David, was not only friendly and approachable but also took the time to engage us in conversation. Overall, we rated our experience a solid 5 out of 5, as it met all our expectations. If you're looking for great food, outstanding service, a pleasant atmosphere, and an enjoyable evening, then 1498 The Spice Affair is the place to be. Highly recommended!
