Spice Empire

Nice venue. Really nice food the spicy chips are delightful . My first time here so I went for my usual safe option.. jalfrezi and it was beautiful. Food came out very quick they were trying to rush us out before 6pm however the waiters were very polite lovely young men . Starters were delicious but poor portions , curry was fab can't fault it.

Beautiful meal. Friendly staff. Lovely rest. Our favourite when going to the theatre.Food: 5/5

First date night in absolutely forever, tried Spice Empire... absolutely UNREAL!!! Beautiful layout, staff were amazing but the food stole the show, Claire and I both have said this is our new regular for date nights and take away collections!!! Highly recommend!!!

Not been here for 6 years and not been disappointed again. Staff brilliant and informed. Helpful and attentive. Food superb. Just what we wanted . Usual poppadoms pickle tray etc. Onion bhaji. Chicken malaya was the best we've had in years. Onion rice on their recommendation which was lovely. Can't fault. Thank you so much to all the staff. Xxxx

Excellent food and service. The best Indian restaurant in Sunderland. Highly recommend visiting or getting a take away from them. Staff always friendly and food is of the highest quality.Food: 5/5

Went for an early tea after the panto. Food was beautiful, service was excellent but the staff particularly Olivia were exceptional. Would definitely recommend especially if you have kids

Would love to give a review with no stars. I booked online 1700hrs 02/11/22 for 1830hrs 03/11/22. Waited for confirmation. Rejected at 1615 03/11/22 whilst I was at the theatre. Called at the Spice Empire and was met with indifference to my situation. Needless to say I will not recommend or revisit this eatery. You managed to reply to this review in 16 minutes but it took you nearly 24 hrs to reject my booking!!,

First time eating here last night. Staff are so friendly and nice. I highly recommend asking for their suggestions if you're unsure with food or drinks. The atmosphere was relaxed and made a lovely stop for date night. Several small groups were enjoying their meals too. Food service was fairly quick and very fresh. We had the Tikka Mossala and the Lamb Rogan Josh. A Keema pilau rice and garlic rice dish to accompany. Both dishes were cooked perfectly with the lamb melting in the mouth. The rice was just right, no dryness and the flavours were fantastic. If you're not a big eater you could easilly share a rice portion with your meal choice. A little surprise gem and a definite regular for is in the future!

Very friendly staff who will guide you through the menu..food very tasty

Booked last minute and pleased we did the food was delicious . Was exremely busy we had an early table booked but by 6pm the restaurant was packed on a Monday night so would recommend booking before attendance
