Spectacular chicken dish and excellent prawns. All round good performer for food and drink. A little noisy or vibrant, depending on your mood as it is relatively small space.

This was my second visit to The Spice Room and it was once again a wonderful experience. The first time we went we got the $55 banquet which was delicious but just a little bit too much food! So this time we got the $44 banquet and it was perfect. Yummy! The Spice Room is also in a great location and has a wonderful atmosphere. A great experience all round!

We had our dinner there before a concert at the Opera House. It was our second time to the Spice Room. The food was excellent again. Service was also very good: quick and attentive. We will go there again.

The food and service was outstanding. Only downfall was that they didn't have our booking on record even though we booked online via quandoo. The staff apologised for the mistake profusely and re-checked and said that they had missed it. We were seated a minute or two later and enjoyed the rest of our experience. Will definitely be back!

The food came out quick and the customer service was great. We ordered the tandoori mixed grill, butter chicken, railway canteen goat curry, pumpkin jeera aloo, garlic naan, saffron rice pulao and mango lassi. Everything was good and the garlic naan was fresh from the tandoori which made the experience even better. The goat curry was our favorite with the goat falling off the bone. The sauce was amazing where we had to scrap up all the sauce with naan because it was that good. I'm salvating thinking about it. We would like to go n and try the banquet to try out other dishes.

The entres and mains were great. The desert was underwhelming. The cocktails seemed weak and took too long to turn up - stick with beer only. The post meal palete cleanser was fun and interesting.

Delicious and daring food, wonderful atmosphere and decor, just a little noisy. This little gem is well hidden in a drab building. But as soon as you step inside you are transported to another place.

Upon booking i was informed i can only have the table to myself until 8. I explained it should most probebly not be a problem unless we are in between meals at 8. We were late by around 45 minutes and before reaching i called to inform we are running late. I was again told i'l have to vacate the tabel at 8 even if we havent finished our food. I have never experienced such arrogance towards a customer ever in my life. We ended up eating elsewhere and thankfully we did not have to eat at this non-customer friendly place because the service, food and overall dining experience at the other restaurant was out of the world. But i wont recommend The spice room to anyone nor would like to ever visit that again.

Great food, great service. Unique decor and location. Value for money. Early evening meal, noisy and cheery, tables very close. Not for intimate dining. Enjoyable for groups who don't mind the bustle
