Latest time said 1 hour, took 3 hours. 5 telephone calls to the place just got fobbed off with we are busy, or it's on it's way or we'll cll the delivery driver. food was apparently on it's way for 75 minutes. told them I'd reject the food if cold or just warm. FINALLY turned up, was warm ( still had to put in the oven for a while to reheat ). Probably won't use them again for delivery, plenty of as good / better ( and worse! ) Indian places in prescot / Rainhill / Whiston / St.Helens to use.

This is a great place. The Coach and Horses pub used to be a reasonable pub with an OK atmosphere…read moreand ferry level food and now it has very good ales and the Spice Inn attached. The Spice Inn is what is being review here and it is simple very good curry. Last year it won the award for best curry house in St Helens and unless there is a gem I do not know of, it must have won it easily. The food is well priced, about six to nine quid for a main course (excluding sundries). The curry is very good, and the service was charming when I went, it seemed emotionally important to the waitress that we did not have to wait on our ale. The drinks are taken care of by the attached pub. The Merlot was very good, the ales included Jennings and Black Sheep. Very nice indeed.

I'll set the scene Bank Holiday Monday table booked for 9 so they were expecting us ! An order was taken for starters and mains yet it took 1hr35 minutes to get our starters and another 30 mins for the main course which from first dish to last item took 15 mins and we were next to the kitchen ! Was not impressed and when the bill came no discount or anything was offered as an apology ! Will take a while for me to return to eat in , the food don't get me wrong was quite tasty ! But due to the wait we just didn't want to eat it as we were past being hungry ! Will update in the near future when it's Amanda H turn to pay ;)

Attended here on a Tuesday evening for tea with friends, plenty of tables available - not always a…read morebad sign! We were immediately greeted by the friendly waiters and offered a drink. We ordered 3 diet cokes which unfortunately were served warm and flat! Foodwise, a little unusual that they don't offer a set menu option like most indian restaurants in the area! Food was served in a timely manner, presented well and very tasty. For poppadoms, starter and a main with 2 drinks it came to around £20 each which is more than reasonable. Overall, this is a nice little restaurant - only downside is limited parking outside! Nice booths ideal for larger groups - I will no doubt be returning in the near future!

I'm not from St. Helens so perhaps I just expect a little something different from an Indian food…read morerestaurant. As other reviews mentioned, the servers were friendly, personable, and chatty, but they were not good at serving. Every drink order we placed had to be re-requested at least once, and they had it easy on the food orders because 4 of the 5 of us ordered the same thing. The Dopiaza was too tomato-based, and the king prawns were over-cooked. Nobody from our party was ill or anything, but it just wasn't that great. The interior decor was hilariously out-dated and all the booths and carpet were disgustingly filthy. Sorry St. Helens, but I'm never coming back.

At this point 2 men arrived and pestered the manager about advertising. They were showing him literature and taking photo's of him and the building. He should have told them to go and concentrate on his customers. The single wiater & chef could not cope with the influx of 2 hen parties. A couple who arrived after us left after 30 minutes having not even been offered a drink! Continued to wait another 60 minutes to get starter...pleasant food with fresh salad. Waited another hour to get mains. These were vile. I had the Sitar 'Special' Tastless chicken in an overpowering, bright red sauce. Everyone else had various meats in the same bright red sauce. We asked for different types of rice - they were all the same. The best & freshest item was the Naan bread. Best point is that the Sitar is 'Bring your own alcohol'. Left most of it and told the waiter the food was most disappointing. Best advice ....don't go if you expect to get authentic Indian food....best cook it yourself at home. Look for a copy of 'The Indian Housewife's cookbook' and learn to taste real Indian food.
