We came here for a meal for our anniversary, it’s our favourite restaurant in Harrogate. As usual the food was excellent. I got the pepper chicken chattinad which is amazing and I can’t find this anywhere else! It’s got such a lovely atmosphere inside accompanied by great service. We’d highly recommend and will be back soon!
Awesome. Not just hot, flavoursome and spicy. We had a member of our party who had a nut allergy and the were great, took it very seriously and treated it with care. Wonderful service , great food, excellent naan’s. Not stodgy, crispy and light. 5 stars!
When we arrived the waitress who greeted us had to check 3 times about our booking before seating us. On ordering drinks, the waiter had to check the gin order 3 times also and seemed confused by a basic order. Adi was lovely but the other staff left a lot to be desired. Especially the waitress who rolled her eyes at me when there was an issue with my order. The keema naan was a little salty, other food was tasty, although portions are smaller than elsewhere.
Went there before Christmas Eve there was no table as the booking was done on the basis of reservation but the people working there were kind enough to provide me a table irrespective of no pre- booking. I would like to have a special mention about my server named Rohit he gave us the best decision of having Rara Mutton along with naan and Biryani. The mutton was succulent and naans were very soft. Rohit even requested the chef to modify the dishes according to my liking. Kudos Spice Culture And Rohit for the amazing service.
Came here last Saturday because it’s Number Two on TripAdvisor and we fancied a good Indian. My curry and naans were excellent. They did get us a table without a reservation, my only negative was that the tables are very close to each other, presumably coz they’re ram-packed most of the time. My Lamb Jalfrezi was outstanding, my wife’s Rogan Josh was a bit “soupy” but still very tasty.
