Spice of Bruerne

"What a shocker. 55 minutes late. Chased numerous times and told ‘5 minutes away’ every time. The food was bang-average. Not a patch on Arimitas, The Rani, Far Cotton Tandoori. A poor imitation of Indian food. If you’re south of the town centre, this should be well down you list if you fancy a curry. My wife called to speak to the manager this evening (our meal was yesterday) and was shouted at. She was told she was lying, and that snow and ice was to blame for the delays. There was no ice, and the snow was not to blame for ‘5 minutes’ being used to appease hungry waiting customers. £120 on a wholly disappointing experience for me and my guests. I cannot state in strong enough terms….just go elsewhere and get something great for your money. As well as sharing my experience here, I will share on local Facebook groups, for Roade, Hartwell, Hanslope and countless other forums. There was an opportunity for the restaurant to show some contrition and attempt to put things right. But nothing. Nothing but shouting. The cost of not just apologising will be felt."

"Myself and my partner ordered here yesterday for the first time… Hands down best curry I’ve tasted in years. We had standard chicken korma and the Chicken Massala. Both were fantastic!"

"Went here for a meal with a couple of friends. Nice and quiet on this Wednesday evening. Service was excellent, asked several times if everything was OK, and it was really tasty. I ordered chicken pakora for starters and the chicken shashlik, photos below, for a main meal. Food was well presented and very tasty. Would definitely recommend to others."

"Excellent service, food and setting. We had a beautiful meal here which was not rushed in any way. All plates were fresh and delicious. Outstanding value for money. Would definitely recommend."

"Beautiful location right on the canal-side in Stoke Bruern this lovely little Indian is recommended. It wasn't perfect, I would have liked my Cobra much colder, one drink order arrived later than others and there was a change in a menu choice needed but the food came quickly, it tasted great! The service was really professional and friendly. This is also one of the best priced Indian restaurants I have been too, four people with starters and drinks came to just under £20 per head which is fantastic. Enjoy!"
