You can smell the delicious food as soon as you enter. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We had four different main dishes to share. We chose one butter chicken, the lamb, beef, and vegetarian peas and mushrooms. The sauces are freshly made, and totally distinct from one another. The garlic naan was fantastic with actual chunks of garlic on the exterior. The food was beautifully prepared and served. The service was great. It was mid week and they were not super busy, but the servers were attentive yet not hovering. Drinks were refilled properly, menu suggestions were totally on point, and the food came out coursed as needed. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Ask for dish suggestions, and enjoy!

It is not quite a "100 Foot Journey", but it is an interesting combination of excellent Indian, some Thai, a great bar, a charming host, thoughtful servers, Movenpick ice cream, 1oo% fresh ingredients in everything and some standard English deserts mixed with their own creatons from India. We started with six beautifully fried Asian fish cakes with a mildly spicy/sweet dipping sauce and then had a big, thick salmon steak with a reduction of soy, miso, chilli, spring onions and ginger. It worked so beautifully that I gobbled 1/4 of my companion's fish.I wanted the Korma which was a rich blend of vegetables, heavy cream, coconut milk, almond, and yoghurt served with a light pilaf. Our desert was Gulab Jamun (milk solids from freshly curdled milk and rich rich rich vanilla ice cream dotted with a fruit sauc and mint. They had my favorite sparkling water, Badoit, which is something I always have trouble finding. All this with a beautiful decor to boot, puts them on my list.

The staff were all very attentive and helpful. Food was amazing. We have eaten at lots of Indian restaurants and this one shines above the rest. There were tea light warmers to keep the food hot and it was all served piping hot in copper bowls. Plenty of sauce and rice served with our meals. The naan were slightly dry but still good. A glass of wine was £3.75 and tasted fine. They brought us over a drink of our choice on the house after we had paid the bill. We had a whiskey, baileys, a coke and a lemonade. Very kind and polite. Highly recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Indian Restaurant. I am not a Swindon regular at all, this was my first…read moretime. But the food was delicious, large drinks selection, an over abundant amount of choices on a vast set of menus. But overall standard things like Biryani, Tikka Marsalla and lots of Curry options. Basically very traditional fare. I chose the Lamb rubbed in Tikka in the Balti style. The deep black pan makes for a rich , reduced sauce that has plenty of tomato and rich chilies that come on slowly. Good stuff. I tried for the first time a Cobra beer, which as the story goes is a bit ale-smooth but still very refreshing for taking the heat off of a curry. For dessert I tried the Mango Tropical which was a layer of dairy (frozen yogurt?) with mango ice cream. It was all frozen including the fruits on top. This was a slight disappointment. Overall this place is a winner, and provides great service, a classy ambience and so many meal options.

Whenever I'm back in the UK I have to have at least one curry, what with Vancouver not being…read moreparticularly blessed with decent curry houses. Despite working in Abingdon for many years, I had somehow managed to miss this place - it is rather obscured from view round the back of a small collection of shops squished between the Ring Road and the school grounds. It was recommended by a colleague, who believes it to be Abingdon's finest. I had always given that title to the Dil Raj, so I was intrigued. The atmosphere is what I like to think of as mid-90s revival curry house. It's not your original flock wallpaper, dark style - it's cane furniture, light colours and large, round tables. The staff were somewhat cold in attitude - the waiter who greeted us made it clear that in eschewing the buffet and choosing to select from the menu we had made the Wrong Choice. It also took rather too long to get the bill and settle up at the end. The food is pretty good. There's an extremely densely packed menu with all the standard choices as well as some extras like a selection of duck curries. My benchmark for a curry house is the King Prawn Puri and this one was very pleasant - the puri was tasty and not too greasy, the prawns were tasty and firm and the sauce was a rich coconutty zinger. We ordered a selection of main dishes which were generally tasty, spicy and distinct, although the Korma (which I would never usually order) was more than usually bland. The best of the dishes was a creamy, almondy duck thing whose name I can't remember (sorry) and the Chicken Jalfrezi which had just the right number of bright green chillis to cause the kind of mild discomfort that makes curries worthwhile. All in all, it was a good place to have my ration of Indian food for this trip, although it will not stop me from trying somewhere else next time in the never-ending search for curry heaven. I still stand by my judgement on the Dil Raj, too.

Spice Valley is our favourite Indian restaurant in Abingdon because their service is so much better…read morethan everyone else's. Whether you're eating in or ordering a take-away, they treat you with respect and are very efficient. They have a varied menu, with some dishes you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere (venison curry?), but as a bit of a curry lightweight I find most of the things on the menu a little bit on the spicy side. Although they do have milder dishes on the menu, they can be a bit bland and disappointing. If you've got a reasonable heat tolerance though, you won't go wrong at Spice Valley. And they do a buffet on Tuesday evenings that is very good value (and popular - you'll need to book).
