As a self-confessed curry connoisseur and possible addict I can confidently state that Indian…read moreVilla, on the tongue-twisting Windmillhill Street in Motherwell, is one of the best Indians you will find in the Glasgow area, a bold claim considering Glasgow is home to the best curries in Britain. The waiter who served on us all night knew an astonishing amount about the items on the menu and even helped to give advice on what to get, listing the main ingredients and flavours of meals, similar meals to give us an idea of something we hadn't tried, spiciness levels, and even how much rice to get so that we didn't end up ordering way too much. Subsequently we just about managed to devour everything on the table and none of us were left wanting for anything. The restaurant is just one ambient room, with dimmed lights and elegant presentation but it isn't huge, so on a weekend it may be an idea to book in advance, especially given the quality of the food. Unfortunately Wednesday nights didn't seem to be too popular as we were one of just two sets of customers. I would, however, recommend this curryhouse to anyone and everyone regardless of how many people visit it on weeknights. Two sets of customers came in to pick up orders, and if you are in Motherwell and fancy a take-away I would urge you to ring Indian Villa instead of just heading to the nearest take-away. Price-wise it wouldn't be much more and taste-wise there is no contest. Very presentable eating area, surprisingly knowledgable and friendly staff, and incredible food make this a top, top curryhouse.

It is looking fresh and pleasant, although the music was a trifle loud. There were 8 of us and it was difficult to hear everyone. However, when we asked for it to be turned down, it was done immediately. We were given a free taster of chili chicken. I do not like chili usually but this was sweet and went down a treat. Food was excellent and loads of choice with dishes being topped up frequently. I loved the starters and stuffed myself. I even found something other than korma to eat. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name but it was lovely. A choccy with our coffees was a night touch. Staff were great and although we didn't realise they were waiting to close, there was no hassle to leave. The price for 8 of us with a fair amount of wine partaken as well as soft drinks was £135.80 which we considered very good value for money We will be back for another great evening

I haven't really sampled Indian Delights curries; the Chinese part of the shop always seems to tempt me more. My boyfriend is more of an Indian fan though, so he has often ordered from here instead. I've tried some of what he has had which is usually chicken patia, and it has always been nice. Nice doesn't make an amazing curry though. I have tried the pizzas from here though, and wow. They are awesome. You have the option of choosing to add a stuffed crust to the pizza, for an extra £3-4, which is pricey but definitely worth it! I don't really know how they make it like that, but it is sooo tasty! Pizzas are pricey, but so worth it!

I decided to have bits of lots - Prawn Crackers, Spring Rolls, Prawn Toast, Pakora, Popadoms, Garlic Bread with a little spoonful of Macaroni Cheese and then Chicken Korma with Nan Bread (of course). Amazing what you can eat when you have lots of little bits of things. Friend had more of a meal with a mixture of indian food and Italian. I left room for pudd because I love the Chocolate Fountain although there are numerous choices of cakes and goodies. Thoroughly enjoyed it as did my friend. Worth a visit and a reasonable price.

The hot holding temp on many dishes was not being maintained and after our last visit, our entire party had bad diarrhea which is a sign of a failing food hygiene system at this location. The food is poor because it all tastes the same - Asian. You want Chinese? You get basmati rice and spices like tumeric which just don't belong in Chinese food. The Chinese curry tastes the same as the Indian section curry. Everything is under seasoned and there was a poor choice out for a Friday evening. The Italian section was equally awful with overcooked pizzas which lacked meat toppings and undercooked crunchy mac n cheese. Indian section had the best choice and most flavour. This was fine but we paid for a world buffet not an Indian one and the dishes we had in common were from the Indian section so I presume this is where we picked up the bacteria which caused our bum gravy. Dessert section has improved. Was happy to see carrot cake back. Overall, the world buffet was mediocre and over priced for the quality of food we had on this visit. I'll stick to the Glasgow locations in future. Shame as the warm, friendly staff in Motherwell outshine the service in every Glasgow location.

I can't believe my local, trusty Indian Takeaway hasn't been reviewed on here! The Spice of Life is…read morean absolute gem of a takeaway, and the only one I would use if I was having Indian food. Located on the main road, a 5 minute walk from the shopping centre itself, it's a great, accessible location for most of Hamilton. It's also located within a 15 minute walk of most pubs I attend, so is a wonderful place to go for some drunken appetisers! The menu is enormous, with roughly 300 things listed on it, so there is absolutely no chance you could be struggling to find something you like. Delivery charge is £1.50 on all orders, no matter the size (a very fair price!), and the food matches this wonderful pricing, with 90% of meals on the menu costing less than a tenner! If you're going in for a collection or just ordering in store, the staff are always helpful and knowledgeable about the food, and good at what they do. There's also a TV on the wall that's usually showing a film channel or something if you're waiting a while; the food is made upon order. If you haven't been here or you're looking for a good Indian Takeaway to try, I would strongly advise you pop in here, or give them a call!

There is so much choice of delicious Indian dishes and also a European menu. The restaurant was clean with beautiful decor and a wonderful view over the Clyde with the ferry to Cumbrae going back and forth. The service was excellent and friendly. We've decided to go there again over Christmas! For some people access might be difficult at the restaurant is upstairs without a lift. The staff seem happy to help those who have difficulties by carrying pushchairs or bags, etc. They also do a take away service and the restaurant is open at lunchtimes as well as evenings. Sometimes you're lucky and can park in the street outside or around the corner, otherwise there is a large car park directly opposite (costing £2).

It's an old building, and obviously the stair carpet was well worn so gives the wrong idea of what to find, the staff greeted us immediately and were very courteous, not very many people inside as he had actually had new carpets fitted in the main restaurant so he explained he had to cancel the buffet for that day. We did not wait very long for a pre dinner drink or the menu. Ordered house special saffron rice and chicken korma and lamb rogan josh poppadoms etc. The meal arrived within ten minutes, and it was absolutely delicious- the meat was very nice not this tumbled chicken you tend to get now and the lamb was succulent and soft it melted in your mouth. The owner was a great hospitable guy who could not do enough for you, and his wife and the young English guy waiter were very friendly. The meal cost £28.50 for two people absolute bargain. The best Indian meal we have tasted in a long time, deserve 5stars.
