A fairly unassuming place in a small town turned out to be one of the best curry restaurants I've been to in a long time. The exceptionally friendly staff served us some extremely flavourful food that was true authentic Indian. I started with the Tikka Pakora which was easily the best I'd ever had, perfectly crisp batter, very juicy chicken and that nice tikka kick and then followed that up with a Lamb Balti that was perfectly cooked and the meat was really high quality and tender. Everyone was really happy with their meal and the staff went above and beyond to be extremely polite and friendly at all times. Couldn't recommend it more. Absolutely cracking.

We were passing through on a mammoth journey and saw Spiceland rated no 1 in Telford on Tripadvisor. We had wonderful, friendly and attentive service from Azz and Sag. Good food with a huge choice on the menu and highlights were the Balti, "genuinely fantastic" according to my husband and the most delicious peshwari naan.

I went here with my partner on a Saturday night we got there early and were shown to a table. The place looked fantastic and well looked after.. A waiter placed my napkin on my lap (which I thought was very different to any other Indian restaurant). Me and partner picked our starters. I had onion bhaji and I must admit they were the best I've ever tasted. My partner went for the mixed platter and even that had pieces of steak on ! I was shocked by the level of standards for the food here I was so excited for my main. I went for the garlic chicken and asked for 1 sliced chilli in and my partner went for the chefs special curry with 1 chilli. We had a side of mixed veggies, mushroom rice and garlic naan. The curries were out of this world and I was quite sad when mine had all gone ha. Just to sum this review up... I eat at a lot of Indian restaurants and I'm usually put off by the texture of my meat or too much spice, but at Spiceland the meat was perfect and they cook the curry to your liking.

One thing I will criticize on is our waitress was chewing gum and it was off putting and thought to be a little unhygenic

They do it properly here. This is the place to go.
The place was busy and bustling and full of community spirit.
Then there's the food..... Sensibly priced, beautifully and thoughtfully cooked and presented with an option for everyone's taste. The staff were efficient, attentive and professional, dancing around like a well oiled machine. There's even a waiter with a pencil moustache that is credit to the place.
Will certainly be visiting again and they can easily handle over 20 at a time, I've seen it!

From the moment we stepped through the door we knew it was going to be a special evening. Staff were friendly and yet professional. Service was efficient and yet warm. We were made to feel so welcome.
The food from start to finish was exceptional, tasty and very well presented. The best peshwari nan I've ever tasted.
Really couldn't believe the price considering the quality. We will be returning
