We found this place via Qype and despite only having 1 review, we felt compelled to give it a go…read more It currently has no front signage ( local councillors debating the price of coffee in the canteen instead of granting this poor bloke planning permission for a sign) so I will point out it is OPPOSITE the main POST OFFICE in Leamington spa. We used Spicy affair as a stop over for food on the way back from Thorpe park and I'm glad we took the small detour off the M40. What a great place. All the food is freshly prepared and whilst this may take slightly longer, it is well worth the wait. At the point of ordering, we were given the option of strength /flavour and spice..something you simply cannot do when using a base dish in a pan. Needless to say the food was stunning, good portion sizes and very attentive staff. We had the Tikka Masala( teenagers :) ) Chicken Nawabi and Dal Taaka( lentils). All good consistency and polished off quickly. The Naan Bread was light and not doughy as can happen in so many Indian restaurants. It wasn't as busy as I would have thought on a friday night but if justice has anything to do with it then it will succeed. Councillors sort your life out. Readers walk past the other Indian's on this street and venture in here. We live in Leeds and have our fair share of quality gaffs up here, none surpass this though.

I went to this place by chance on 14 Oct 2010 and came to know that they had just opened. The place…read moreis quite contemporary and in fact still some work was left to be completed. The room temperature was just nice!!! I thought to mention this as most of the Indian places I have visted before used to be very cold. I ordered Chicken Tikka for the starters and Chicken Madras for the mains. I must admit that the both the item were cooked very well and to my taste. I have been to number of Indian Restaurant as I love my curry but what they offered was just completly out of the world. Will surely go there again and again... will strongly recommend!!! I have given them 4* as the place was still getting ready and the music was not there. Food was superb!!!

However they still offer the traditional dishes that I have become familar with. The waiters are friendly and attentive, and are happy to recommend dishes to you. We did not too long to wait for our food, considering it was a Friday evening and the restaurant was busy. My chicken tikka masala was spicy (but not too spicy) and authentic tasting. My friends also enjoyed their food. There are a number of vegetarian dishes available, which is a bonus if you are a veggie. They offer an executive 3 course lunchtime buffet for £10.95 which is great value! You are able to book a table via their website - www.fiveriversrestaurant.co.uk A restaurant that I would be happy to return to time an time again.

Solid Indian food in a trendy, modern environment…read more Boyfriend and I came here with my stepdad for a Christmas Eve feast, and did we ever feast! We ordered a few different dishes, mostly to share including eggplant curry, a paneer curry, and chicken with two sauces. We started by sharing the ostrich - super unique, but it was expensive and difficult to discern that it was a meat I hadn't tried before. The curries were tasty and well flavoured, as was the rice we got on the side. My stepdad's dish came with rice already on a neat, complete plate. The naan was pretty good, although not my favourite I've ever had. We had chai to finish the meal, which was a bit over-creamy for me, but that's likely due to Canadian milk not having as high a fat percentage as English milk, for the most part. A good, solid Indian meal in an enjoyable atmosphere.
