I hope I don't offend any chefs who produce fine Indian food, but I generally only have a craving…read morefor curry when I have a hangover, and specifically a mid range hangover. Not a mild hangover, and not a can't-even-get-out-of-bed hangover, a mid range one. On such days, only a chicken korma (what? I didn't say a hot curry) and a big pillowy naan bread can help. Planet Spice is take away only and joy of joys, do deliveries so it's my go-to place for Indian food. Actually, it's my order-from place. Delivery can take up to 45 minutes to an hour so it's important to time your order right but once you get it you won't be disappointed. The korma is perfect - creamy but not gloopy and with plenty of big chunks of chicken. The naan bread is to die for - big and fluffy and soooo good. Throw in a couple of onion bhajees which have just the right amount of spicy greasiness and I'm in hangover heaven.

Great friendly service. Food is delicious. Veggie dishes…read moreare poor, mostly potato. We don't eat meat so expect vegetables when we order a vegetable dish. Potatoes are not vegetables just like a restaurant menu will list potato options then vegetable. The veggie sides are delicious, pakora, badgee etc. Shame about the mains. We now use the Welcome Chinese on the Belmont Road.

Really is as good as it gets!…read more Family meals here always go down well and we have visited at least twice in the last two months. The selection is amazing and my favourites include the Sizzling Seafood Balti and the Chicken Madras but I'm intent on working my way through the menu. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the servers are extremely polite and helpful. One of our party has special dietary requirements and they couldn't do enough to help us and make sure our needs were catered to. Worth booking at weekends as it does get very busy, especially as it's near the cinema but you'd probably be fine walking in during the week.

I had a business lunch here with a couple of colleagues today. Their brief was to take them to the…read moremost authentic Indian restaurant. There was a very select few to choose from but the winner hands down was Tale Of Spice in Dundonald!! It won hands down on a number of scores. First it has ample free car parking. Second it is owned and run by a fantastic all Indian team from kitchen (Chef Gautam) to Front of House (Abhishek and Sunil). Third the food is as authentic as if one was sitting and eating it in any Northern Indian restaurant. The decour is modern contemporary with a subtle Indian touch. The staff are very helpful and knowledgable and chef himself a real expert. I asked him to make three dishes (two chicken and one lamb). He duly obliged but not before we tucked into fresh crispy popadoms with tasty dips-so many restaurants fall foul of serving oily soggy popadoms- a real turn off! Our three mains came out with two pilau rice, a nan and garlic nan. The butter chicken was creamy and tomatoey with no artificial colouring-and not overtly sweet. The Karahi gosht was divine with the lamb being tender, juicy and succulent. The chicken tikka saag was excellent-all three dishes garnished well with ginger juliennes and parsley and coriander.....just like one gets in Punjab. Alas the portions beat us quantity wise. This really is as authentic North Indian as you will get. A must visit place.

Don't ever go here! Seriously…read more My housemates and I wanted a relaxing evening in after a night out and decided to order an Indian takeaway from this place. We ordered online using the Just Eat service. After an hour, we hadn't heard anything so we gave them a ring. They were really rude on the phone and kept asking what our house number was. They told us us our food was on it's way and would be 20 minutes. 30 minutes later we rang again and they told us that they were just cooking the food and they would send it round soon. After telling them this wasn't good enough, my friend demanded a refund to her credit card. The guy from Jasmine restaurant was sooooo rude, raising his voice and arguing with Sarah, she stood her ground and got the refund. He kept saying that he would deliver the food in twenty minutes. We were all really pissed off that the guy's attitude was so argumentative, when he should have been apologizing profusely. He kept agitating Sarah by saying that they would call to the door with the food. She literally had to shout at him saying 'No, we don't want it.' All in all we were waiting over an hour and a half. This place doesn't come cheap either, we were paying £43 for three meals and naan breads. All in all a ridiculous experience, rude staff and horrendous service. Avoid at all costs.

This is one of the only sit in Indian restaurants over in east Belfast and I'm not sure if it is…read moreone of the best. They do offer a takeaway service as-well. This restaurant is not very old, it has only been in business for a couple of years and I have to say that I was very impressed when I first went in but I wasn't completely won over by the food. I love my typical english indian dishes, for example a chicken kormas or a chicken tikka massala but Jasmines versions of these dishes were not that great in my opinion, they weren't bad but just not top notch!! Judge it for yourself but I'm not sure if I'll be back in a hurry.

Royal Tandoor Platter 5/5 -(chicken banjara, malai chicken tikka, seekh kebab & tandoori monkfish skewered and cooked in a clay oven), great option if you're not too hungry, you can ask for a small bowl of rice to accompany this Lamb biryani 5/5 - a lot of meat, the rice was so fragrant Goan Seafood Chowder 5/5 - hearty, flavorful, highly recommend Hot chocolate fudge cake 4/5 - can't go wrong, exactly what you expect, don't think it is made in-house though

I'm probably going to stop reviewing this place for a good while as I was the last person to leave…read morea review just a few months ago. It's very simple for me. The food here remains top notch and the portions generous. I phoned the order in which is unusual for me; I usually just turn up but it saved me waiting 25 minutes. Has they still been on Monaghan St and Maya cafe was open I'd have gone there for a great cappuccino. This time we got the meal deal 3 at £24 but it was topped up by £2 due to my order choices (no fish just chicken based mains) but I've give. Up arguing over price hikes. I suppose I was inclined to do a review here having just recently experienced a truly dreadful Bangladeshi restaurant in Letterkenny. The latter deserves promptly closed down with the former deserving of support in this most challenging of times.

By far the best restaurant in Monaghan! The food is absolutely amazing here and never disappoints…read more The menu has so many great options and the prices are extremely reasonable. Its always busy here so it is worth reserving a table before you go. The decor is really lovely and very comfortable. The only downside is the service can be very slow probably because the staff are always rushed off their feet.I didn't remove a star for this though as the staff are always so nice and they almost always throw in a few extra side dishes and a drink on the house. I've eaten here both in and takeout many times and never have been disappointed.

Although I've never eaten here myself, one of my housemates swears by their 'chicken rojhan josh'…read more She says it is 'fresh and full of flavours and spices' and judging by the aroma of it, it certainly seems that way. Herself and her boyfriend eat there the occasional weekend and it's their fave take-away in the area. They always have their food ready to pick up pretty quickly and they've had no complaints about the staff either. A glance at the menu shows a starter is on average £2.50, kebabs and their vegetarian counterparts are under 5 quid and main courses are £6.95. Elsewhere on the menu there is a choice of tandoori dishes, chefs recommendations, masala dishes, curry dishes and some highly recommendable veggie sides. I recently had Saag Paneer instead of a main course when out for a friends birthday, it was delicious and perfect if you have small appetite. It consists of spinach cooked with onions and garlic and cubes of curd cheese. I'm sure I'll be sampling Taj Mahals version soon. There is ample parking outside which is very handy for visitors. Taj Mahal also offer a delivery service for orders over £10.

I can't really understand why someone would pay £10 or more at an indian restaurant takeaway service when places like this exist. Such good value because I think you would pay £5/£6 for the equivalent dish. Their portions are huge and will have you belt busting before you know it.
