Spice Tandoori has had many names and many owners over the years I have lived in Poole. It has been…read moreSpice for a while now though and it is a good place to go for an in Indian meal. It is situated in a row of shops opposite the Civic Centre. There is limited parking outside - there is a long layby servicing the shops with about 8 spaces for cars. This gets very busy during the day but at night, there is lots of room to park. The inside of the restaurant is contemporary and is nearly always quiet. Location wise, it is not really in the middle of anwhere residential, perhaps the reason so many owners have come and gone. The food here is great and plentiful. Staff are attentive and helpful. I'm hoping to have a meal there within the next few weeks. There is also a takeaway and home delivery service.

Awful very disappointing. Slow service always trying aggressively to upsell and food tasted like…read morecups of sugar were dumped into it. Even the garlic naan. Waiters are ill trained. Never again and would never recommend it.............,.,,,,

Had no starters, but the chicken tikka dansak and lamb tikka pathia were cooked to perfection with the right amount of spice in each. There was no oil in the dishes, just beautiful flavour with each mouthful. The portions are good sizes, and the rice and other extras are just as nice. I just wish it was not 90 miles from home

We went to Sammi's on a Wednesday evening and were the only customers there…read more We had been enjoying our food until a large, dead, green maggot, the size of my thumbnail, fell off a forkful of Brinjal Bhajee (cooked okra/lady's fingers). The owner was called immediately to have a look and he took my plate away to the kitchen. He returned a few minutes later, and tried to persuade us that it had been a seed. I have had much experience cooking with this vegetable: its seeds are small, white and circular, not curled and segmented with a dark, brown head. I explained this to the owner and, to prove my point, asked to see the worm I'd found again. Unsurprisingly, he returned to say it had been thrown in the bin. At no point did he apologise, or offer any kind of compensation or price reduction. To add insult to injury, when our bill arrived, we found we had been overcharged: the prices they were asking were higher than those advertised on their menu outside. In short: the staff were rude, patronising, and unreasonable - ruining what had been, until that point, a fairly enjoyable evening. Neither my friends or myself will be going there again: I would advise anyone else against it.

First time visiting this restaurant. I got a takeout for 4 of us and it was excellent. We had…read morelamb bhuna , chicken korma , chicken bhuna and lamb korma. Lots of meat and the sauces were exquisite. The rices and breads were also excellent. 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.

A modestly decorated and signed Indian restaurant…read more The food is, quite simply, outstanding as is the service, and the only reason I haven't given it a fifth star is because there is no delegated parking. I've never had a problem though. Children are welcome here, and there is always a complimentary dish, so you know you'll not go hungry! They will also box up what you can't eat. They will also sell you a Peshwari naan if you turn up at the door and ask for one! At weekends make sure you book!

The service is excellent; the staff are friendly and polite and the food itself has been superb. If there are at least two of you, I have noticed that there is always a complimentary side dish (something similar to Bombay potato) which is a nice touch. They had a refit perhaps 2 years ago; the decor is very pleasant. Parking can be foune either directly outside the curry house, or else, leaving the curry house by car by turning left, then take the left fork. I have always managed to park OK here. I would recommend the Tatnum Tandoori.
