Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. The food is consistently good as is the service. They also deliver to our area and we have used them a lot. Only improvement would be the appearance of the tables etc. White tablecloths...would smarten the place!More

We are away camping and the Spice Of India Verwood menu is in the campsite reception so we assumed we could order a delivery to where we are staying. We rang up and placed our order only to be told that we can’t pay by...card over the phone and they only take cash. Well we can’t get to a cashpoint and if we could then we’d drive to the takeaway and pick up our order. The guy on the phone said they couldn’t take payment by card over the phone so should they cancel it! Very disappointed in this day and age that they don’t have that facility as not everyone carries cash. Won’t be using them again, not impressed!More

As we were staying in .17. made sense to revisit this establishment for a take away after a busy day travelling around the area. The food is appetising and plenty of it, if anything too much. We settled for the mixed kebab starter with a...chicken biriani and peshawar nan. Prices are on par with our local area (Pembrokeshire) cooked perfectly with just enough spice. If you're in Verwood, it's the place to visit for that size kick.More

Be prepared for loud music from the flat above the restaurant spoiling your conversation and the staff doing nothing about it when you mention it.

Bad from start to finish. I visited here the last time I lived in Verwood and the food was awful then (5 years ago) Decided to give it a second chance on Friday, surely things would’ve improved by now. Unfortunately not. The popadoms tasted of...really old cooking oil. The onion bhajis had more potato in them than onion and had no seasoning, just utterly bland. I chose a dish that was described as chicken breast stuffed with vegetables…..inside the chicken breast was filled with yet more potato mixed with coriander leaves. The sauce was also very bland. My wife’s dish was chicken piazza (I think). The strips of chicken were dry and completely over cooked and again a very bland sauce. The garlic Naan bread was ok, just, but had clearly been cooked hours beforehand. The desert menu was literally thrown on the table with the waiter already turned around before it stopped moving across the table. It wasn’t that busy with only 4 occupied tables while we were there so no real excuse for such poor food. Maybe I’ll try again in 5 years time but it’s unlikely.More

The restaurant is really nicely decorated with lovely furniture. There was a couple of very noisy annoying small groups so ambience wasn't good but the restaurant can't help that. The waiters were efficient. Started of well with very good popadoms and dips however all dishes...were bland and lacking any real taste - the curries were the same shade of red despite our orders being totally different and the veg dishes were terrible - this is not authentic Indian food and all of it was completely tasteless. We didn't eat any of it but the staff did not ask why, they simply asked if they could clear the table. Won't be going again and couldn't recommend.More

Very nice meal and very good service. Not very busy in the restaurant on a Monday night as you would expect. Restaurant was clean and there’s easy parking on site. Tikka Masala was very nice, Pasanda not quite as good but still nice. Prawn purée,...Naan and Poppadom’s all good too. Would definitely revisit when next in the area.More

You honestly can't go wrong with a Spice! Takeaway or eat in it's always superb! Banquet night is still excellent value for money as well.

We were staying just outside Cranborne and looked on the internet, so pleased we found Spice of India, it was the BEST takeaway curry we've ever had it arrived very quickly, was piping hot and the portions were HUGE!, we were there in Lodge 3...for 2 weeks and had a takeaway meal every couple of days as I tried all their different curries even though hubby stuck to his chicken madras, A special thanks to the delivery driver, he was always early and a very nice man with a cheerful smile. I wish we lived nearer so we could enjoy the meals more oftenMore

We booked for the banquet with friends our first time back to the spice since 2020 and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the service excellent. The new dividers between tables gives more privacy and safety. Looking forward to booking again.
