Bombay Spice - York

The food was excellent and it's no surprise that this award winning restaurant will be going for three-in-a-row this August. The service was good, with the staff all being welcoming, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. One thing: if you are ordering the side vegetable dishes be warned. They are full sized plates so be prepared to order some and share. Looking forward to returning during my next visit to York.

Great food, since our visit definitely my favourite Indian restaurant in York. Staff were very friendly and efficient, without being overbearing. We used our taste card effortlessly making it not only the best but most reasonably priced restaurant we have found.

Very welcoming staff. The food was great, and reasonably priced. The tables were a little close together, but that shows how popular the place is. Would like to go again.

We Always go here when we are in York, serves great food with plenty of choices on menu, great service at very reasonable prices! A MUST!!!

As always a gorgeous meal in by far the best Indian in York. Staff always warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Will definitely be back again soon

Food was nice but no better than average. Was given a room in the back which was right next to the toilets and when moved seat was still not much better.

It was small, a great atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and the food top-notch. I would definitely visit this restaurant again. Well worth a visit.

Great staff, super service, fantastic food. every member of out party of eleven thoroughly enjoyed there visit to the Bambay Spice. Will definitely visit again and recommend it to friends.

Excellent food and service, would definitely return and recommend. Choice of food very good and some unusual options which were delicious. Good price as well with good portion sizes

Location of the restaurant was great ,The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing wasa higher to them ,The food was fantastic along with the drink

good food & good service, staff very friendly and helpful. a good selection of food and drinks on the menu. overall a very nice experience.

Never had a bad meal here, customer service is always great and the staff are attentive. Food has always come very fast and would recommend this place to others.

Been before food was excellent unfortunately on this occasion very poor starter main courses bland small portions tasted nothing like previous visit can only assume they have changed chef's

Excellent service and food. The staff were very helpful and accommodating for a large group (10 people). Excellent value for money as well and we will be happy to go back again soon

Really tasty meal temperature of the food on serving could have done to be hotter but this did not spoil our experience. Excellent friendly staff with great sense of humour.

Loads of staff but you just feel like their main objective from the point of you arriving, is to get you out as quick as possible. In addition to this, (and having booked months in advance) after the first course, we were asked to relocate from the 1st floor to the ground floor as they'd had a large group turn up that they needed to seat! Food was a average bit note that their chicken tikka masala is overwhelmed with the flavour of mango. Overall a disappointment, after months of planning and high hopes, it turned out to be an anticlimax. Won't be going back.

Atmosphere and service were excellent the food was good (so this is not a complaint), but not excellent. Both starters and main course were just a little bland compared to the best Indian restaurants.

We arrived for our meal at 17.30. The restaurant had just opened, however we were attended to straight away. We were given a table. Had a waiter present us with menus and asked if we wanted complementary poppadoms. These arrived straight away and we were asked what we wanted to drink. Drinks arrived quickly and food was ordered. When our food arrived it was served to us in a polite and attentive manner. We were asked at appropriate times if everything was alright with our dinner and if we wanted anything else. This was done despite the restaurant being full and very busy. Attention to customers was spot on. The food was fantastic, probably one of the best curries I had. I am a vegetarian and there was a good range of meals even a separate section on the menu. I would definitely like to return when I am next in York. Thank you

Very pleasant staff but very ordinary food. Starters ok but main courses (one veg dish and one chicken) lacked any depth of flavour. Not likely to return.

Food and service were both very good especially as the restaurant was very busy, turning potential customers away! Starter of chicken chatt and onion bhaji, chatt a little under spiced but bhaji was excellent. Main of Jalfrezi and Madras both good but the stand out was the nann bread very light and airy not at all stodgy like some.

It was a Pleasant experience, good was good, service very quick. Was a busy evening so glad we booked in advance. Wife also enjoyed her food.

Excellent food and service would highly recommend. This is my 3rd visit to this restaurant the food is amazing, the staff are friendly very courteous and efficient

Had chicken biriyani, very bland, far too much rice (enough for 2), vegetable curry served with it was tasteless I asked if it could be a little spicier, the curry was returned with spices added and was far too hot to eat! Staff queried why I had not eaten the curry and after explaining they asked if me and my wife would like a drink each to compensate , which we accepted.

Food was excellent. Staff were excellent. Everything about the place was excellent! We arrived earlier than expected! Sat us down straight away and treated us like royalty all night! Can't buy the place up anymore around! Definitely worth going!

Friendly welcome, friendly waiter and good, quick service. Starters were good and the mains excellent - we had a chicken dish and duck tikka masala, which was delicious. Could have been spicier but that's our fault for not ordering something a bit braver. Delighted to be offered a complimentary liqueur, so downed a free brandy and my son had a baileys. A super experience all round!

A great restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. A varied menu with specialities and chef specials. Time allowed to relax and fully enjoy the experience. A great evening and one which we will be repeating.

Food not that great, after reading good reviews on Tripadvisor me and my partner decided to go for valentine's day this year. We ordered chicken pakoras for starters and the chicken was that rubbery we where unable to cut it. I also had chicken korma for my main and it was so bland there was no flavour there at all. Cant fault the staff though they were very welcoming and lovely.

Excellent service & a very varied menu catering for all from the mildest to hottest curry. All the food was very tasty and freshly prepared.

Excellent food - all 7 of our party agreed - and superb service. This is a lovely restaurant with a friendly atmosphere right in the heart of York.

How wonderful to have our Xmas dinner at a favourite restaurant - great atmosphere friendly service as always and a cracker as well! Will be returning for more wonderful award winning meals in 2017

Disappointed. Visited as a result of seeing restaurant was an award winner and question how that was the case. Tired looking surroundings, poor service, incorrect order bought to table and bland, far from tasty food. Very rarely give poor reviews but felt appropriate to do so. Wouldn't visit again unless certain Lots had changed.

Went for nye. Service was good considering how busy it was. However all four of us ordered 'medium' strength curries - none of which had any kick to them, very disappointing. Naan wasn't typical of an Indian but was nice. I would go again but would recommend ordering at least one strength spicier curry than you normally would!

Starters were very good and tasty, however main a bit more disappointing as tikka masala was a bit to sweet and tasted less spicy than a korma. Good value for money with deal

Went in a bit early. No problem. Seated and served straight away. Food was great. Service good. Naan breads the best around. Complimentary liqueur with the bill sent us on our way happy.

Lovely food, good choice on menu, friendly staff and was offered a complimentary drink at the end of the night which was a nice surprise. Discount voucher enabled us to get 15 per cent off bill, bargain!

The staff were friendly and attentive, our food was tasty and arrived quickly, we all enjoyed our visit here and would go again if visiting York.

Curry was nice as was all other food. Seating was a little cramped but not too much of an issue. We had a waiter who was on only his second shift who was entertaining. At one point we asked for the bill and he asked if we would like one glass or two as he though we'd asked for milk!?!

When we arrived the waiter informed me that I had booked a table for two not three people, but after showing him my email he showed us to our table. We were rushed from the minute we sat down. When our meals arrived I was astounded by the lack of content in the meal, just sauce mainly! When the waiter asked if everything was ok, he walked away as I was complaining! We chose this restaurant due to its recent awards, but after dining here I will not be returning. Average food, expensive prices and very poor service. Avoid at all cost!!

Enjoyable curry, good service, no complaints, busy atmosphere - would recommend

Booked at table for two last saturday night. First visit to Bombay Spice and were mightily impressed.Execellent food and service so will be going back on regular basis
