We live fairly locally and have therefore tried a high number of Indian restaurants in the area (around Great Yarmouth, Norwich and the bits in between!) and this is by far our favourite.
The staff are lovely, attentive and polite without 'hassling'. We've now tried...a wide selection of the dishes on offer and they are all tasty and spicy without 'blowing your head off'. And if you enjoy spicier dishes they will always adjust 'to madras heat' or whatever. The menu has a really wide selection of house and chefs specials, which we are enjoying working our way through, as well as all the usual favourites like Dopiaza, Dhansak, Balti etc.
Our particular favourites are the onion bhaji, which are spectacular, and the Jalfrezi & Bihari curries, but we've not yet had anything we didn't like and have been attending regularly over the past couple of years.
Its a very easy, comfortable place to be; the decor is nice, they have a nice bar with a good selection, the tables are not too close together, the toilets are always nice and clean, the chairs are comfortable and most of all you are never hurried along when youve finished your meal, but instead can enjoy a coffee or drink , or just a chat without feeling like you are taking up space. When you are ready you can just go and pay at the bar, but there is no pressure on you to move along which we find really nice, and quite unusual.
In short we really like Planet Spice (and they have a sister restaurant in Great Yarmouth called Planet Poppadum - we loved the food there too but its a different sort of atmosphere, much busier being on the seafront - Planet Spice is kind of calm and relaxing).More
