Bring your own alcohol wasn’t a problem. Brought our staff here.
Food piping hot and very well presented.
Starters try the chef special mixed meat absolutely delicious.
Mains chicken korma and madrass with veg Pilau and keema nann, all on point. Company good atmosphere good. Decor lovely and chairs comfy enough. Quieter mon-wed and busy thurs-Sunday. Would def recommend and come back again with more staff.
We have been going to Amin's Spice off and on for four years, and have always found the food very good. We had noticed that the prices were rising lately, but that did not prepare us for what happened when we went there there last Friday night and ordered as usual from the menu. The food was fine, but when the bill arrived we noticed that the prices totted up were considerably higher than the prices shown on the menu. For example a main meal shown on the menu at £8.50 was charged at £10 and a vegetarian meal shown at £7.50 was charged at over £9. Boiled rice was £4.95! In all, we were expecting a bill of £24-25, but were billed over £30.
When we challenged this they said the menus were "backed up", and their prices were increased because their costs had risen. This may be true, but they could have put a sticker on the menus saying the prices had increased, or they could have given a verbal warning when the menus were presented to table, but they did neither. We only learned the new prices when we were presented with the bill.
When I went to school such practises were known as fraud, and I am still deciding whether to involve Trading Standards, but we certainly won't be going back there.
