Burghfield Spices - Carta

No way is this the best in Berkshire. Very average food. My dish did not have enough sauce. The ratio of meat to sauce resulted in a very dry meal.

Buddy the owner is an exceptional host. Buddy goes above and beyond to make your meal enjoyable. The food is the best authentic meal we have had in reading. There are special evenings with Elvis Mike Mova who has a brilliant voice and entertains all.

I honestly keep forgetting about this place. It was only because of a leaflet through the door that reminded me about it. Nice friendly staff and reasonably priced. You'll need the WiFi, as mobile phone coverage is rubbish all around that area, obviously not the restaurants fault. Ver carta

On a quiet Monday evening we had a brilliant meal at The Burghfield Spices . Great service, welcoming atmosphere, excellent food, you can always tell a good Indian restaurant by the quality of the onion bhajee, crispy on the outside, cooked and soft in the middle. Our main courses were really tasty and good portion size. Highly recommended.

What an embarrassing family meal! We invite family over to celebrate a birthday and we could not believe what we had walked into! Deceitful photos online showing the restaurant atmosphere gave us false excitement. Very much a makeshift type of restaurant, however the food was 6/10. Will not be returning, would recommend investing money into opening a more roomy appropriate restaurant, the place is just claustrophobic, dark and dirty! Ver carta

The restaurant is one half of what looks like a pub (Hatch Gate Inn). Delicious food and outstanding, friendly service. The Papadoms were crispy, tasty and served with a variety of sauces. I enjoyed the mango chutney the most. The Tandoori chicken didn't seem to be marinated, was slightly over cooked, and seemed more like grilled chicken but everything else was delicious. I had the Khori Gosht for the first time and it was delicious; tender lamb in a delicious curry sauce, with onions not too spicy at all just yummy.

Thought we would try a new takeaway and will not be going back. First off they tried to overcharge me. When I pointed this out, they went away and reassured me the bill was correct, however I had to show them using a calculator with the menu at the bar and they then agreed to change the bill. When we got home, I was amazed at how small the portions were for both the starters and mains especially considering the cost. The food was pretty bland. There are a couple of other nearby Indian restaurants that are much tastier with bigger portions all for virtually the same price.

Friends encouraged us to try this takeaway instead of out other favoured local restaurant, stating everything was so fresh, so for our once a month Friday night treat we decided to give it a go. I wish we had just ordered from our reliable trusted restaurant. Poppadum's were rancid and inedible, clearly VERY old fat in the fryer. Pappads were burnt. Mint sauce was watered down so split, the mango chutney was sugary water, also watered down. The Onion salad has very little coriander, no mint and tough. The Nann was undercooked, chewy and insipid, the Tikka Balti had sliced chicken not cubed, but the Tikka Masala had cubed chicken? I have no idea what went wrong, but it was to such an extent I...
