We discussed different options and got excellent recommendations. Food is in good portions and was served in a short time. Everybody was very attentive and we felt very comfortable. Environment in the restaurant is practicable, nice and clean but nowhere near even a little authentic. We could not hear any music as it was very noisy from a birthday party. This was not the problem of the restaurant but was quite disturbing.

I was recommended the buffet by my brother so thought I'd give it a try with my girlfriend. The…read morearray of food on offer was undeniably impressive, in a traditional serve yourself style. The onion bhaji's, however, were very dry and crispy as being under warming lights isn't conducive to a quality bhaji! The meat based dishes were tasty but the chicken based dishes left a lot to be desired. The reason for this was clear; they use cheap spongy chicken, the stuff that has been injected with water and has a very distinctive texture. Having said this my brother said he hadn't even noticed, but then he'll eat anything! The selection of deserts was impressive, with fresh fruits and rice pudding which was very nice and stodgy. All in all, an impressive array for a buffet let down by the low quality chicken used in all the dishes.

On Trip Advisor, this restaurant had over 230 ratings with a rating of 4.5/5. My wife and I had the Chicken Masala, a chicken curry dish, a cauliflower potato veggie, and a coconut and almond naan- Peshwari Naan. And it was all excellent. Give this restaurant a chance. They have friendly, great service with delicious food. It was a welcome change from the "typical" English food that we had eaten while in London.

Food was amazing! Service was a bit more leisurely than we usually like but it was a lovely evening.read more

Our favourite Indian restaurant in the Wiltshire area. They are always very friendly and you can…read moreorder ahead online to pick up at a time that suits you, which is great. We've tried various curries and sides from here, including the korma, butter chicken, rogan, jalfrazi, biryani, veggie curry, sag aloo, and a few different naans. No complaints about any of the flavours with these curries! Their peshwari naan is packed with coconut and sultanas and goes really well with the more mild curries. They usually give us extra papadoms when we order them too. For takeaway, I'd recommend booking online if you want to eat early as they are often very busy at opening. We will continuing being regulars here!

A cold, wet, windy October night I was on the hunt of something warm, filling and tasty to eat…read more Enter stage left the Tale of Spice. And old pub converted into this fabulous Indian restaurant and takeaway. A full car park which is always a good sign, diners packed into the dining room noshing away at bowls of golden curry, fluffy rice and fresh crisp naan breads. There where four of us and we had booked because quite honestly you have to. I'd be very surprised if you got a table if you'd just walked in off the street. Again another very good sign. We where greeted by a friendly member of staff and shown to our table. Drinks orders where taken and poppadoms brought to the table. The pickles that accompanied the poppadoms where delicious. Not too sure if they where made in house or not I'm guessing not, but either way they tasted good. We did have starters and with quite an extensive collection there is a lot to choose from. I had the king prawn butterfly. A deliciously perfectly cooked king prawn fried in golden breadcrumbs and served with a small side salad. For the curry then, I had a lamb rogan josh. Quite a mild dish with only a little spice added. To accompany that I had a keema rice and a couple of chapattis. The rice dish is enough for two to share as the curry itself is quite filling. But it was a lovely accompaniment. Not too overpowering with the spiced meat and not too overloaded with onion they got the balance just right. The rogan josh was delightful. It's the first time I've had it and I was impressed. Delicately flavoured and packed with tomato and onion. The sauce was really tasty there just wasn't enough of it to dip the bread in. The meat itself was nice a little tough for my liking but still very nice. The chapattis where beautifully cooked, fresh and hot strait out of the tandoor they where perfect. Not too small you think what's the point. And not too bit you think what am I going to do with this? The meal was finished off nicely with complimentary liquors. We decided not to go for dessert because we'd had such a good meal there was no more room. The service in this restaurant is very good. The staff are friendly, polite and helpful. They are only to happy to recommend a dish to you especially if you a first time curry eater. The restaurant itself is very contemporary, spacious and inviting. I'd highly recommend this place to any curry lover or someone who wants to go to a curry house for the first time. I shall definitely be going back in the not to distant future.

The greeting on entering the restaurant was first rate with three people there to greet and two behind the counter. Though we didnt eat in the restaurant it looked very clean and the conversations at the tables were muted by the soft surface in the room. As one of our party is in a wheelchair they commented that they were equipped for guests with disabilities as a number of their regular guests were in this category. Overall my impression of the restaurant make me want to return to enjoy their offerings.
