Food was great, staff very kind and helpful. It just started to slow down towards the end as they were very busy on the run up to Christmas. Nicest veggie food I've had in a long time! Will definitely be back.

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!?!

Excellent food, a bit of a wait for main, but they apologised and think it was just because they were so busy Would definitely go again.

Had a lovely meal for our wedding anniversary. The lamb kebab was tasty and the Karachi lamb was so tender. We even offered a complimentary spirit at the end of the meal. Will definitely go again. The service was also very quick, even though the restaurant was busy.

Amazing food, and very friendly staff. Maybe a little pricey for a mid-week meal, but everyone left with smiles on their faces. Very accommodating for a group of 8 too.

I can't fault the food at all, it was lovely. My issue (and reason for the low rating) is because the waiters just did not seem bothered at all. They left us waiting at the narrow doorway for 10 minutes without acknowledgement. We then received an apology so I was happy to let that slide but the waiters were still very unhappy and blunt during service. It was difficult to get their attention, it felt like you were putting them out by asking for additional drinks etc.. OK it was a Saturday night and busy but most restaurants seem to manage busy times with a smile and great service. We were not in any rush so happy to wait, just wanted more friendly and pleasant servers.

Arrived and showed immediately to our table in a very full restaurant. Was given the menu and our drinks order taken. When food arrived it was delicious. The staff were very attentive and polite. I'm so glad we booked because I'm sure we wouldn't have got a table if we hadn't. We will definitely be visiting again

The resteraunt was nice but not sure that the spice guides fit the dishes. Mine was supposed to be medium hot but did not really have any spice. It was a relief to me but for those who like spicy food it might be a bit disssapointing

Food was delicious and the service was very good although a little over bearing at times. It was fairly busy when we got there but the food was delivered promptly.

Not much to be said: food and service were both excellent. Especially impressed at them squeezing us in at short-notice on a Saturday night and still getting food and drinks to the table so quickly. I'll definitely eat here again!

Our fairly large group of eight all had a good meal at Bombay Spice. Everyone found the standard of the food to be very good and the staff were very welcoming.

All right. Drinks expensive. A just slightly better than average curry to be honest. Couple of the waiters have over-attentive, in your personal space style that won't suit everyone. Not sure why it's won any awards.

The food was the most authentic we have tried in the York. We tried the vegetable plate appetiser and the meat plate appetiser. All the tasters were lovely although the samosas were a disappointment. We tried the Chicken chilli garlic and lamb with spinach and Ochra. Both were delightful. The chapati and roti were fresh from the oven and excellent.

Had an excellent meal with friends at Bombay Spice, with excellent service. One of our diners has a nut allergy and the staff ensured that her meal was nut free (providing a safe alternative). Smiling faces and good attention. Thank you. A most enjoyable evening.
