What kind of food do you want? I answered (in Hindi).. "yaar kabab khila dey please. Bohot mood hai" -- Translates to.. "dude, feed me some kababs, in mood for it".. His answer was.. "Hyderabadi Spice" That's when we got here. We got the Kabab Platter (£15.99) which consists of some amazing Lamb Chops, Chicken Malai Kababs, Sheekh Kababs, 2 Drumsticks, Fish Tikka's.. Absolutely delicious and extremely well seasoned. I have also been to a place called Tayyab's in London.. and let me tell you, Tayyabs enjoys a brand name now in addition to it's location, but honestly, it's all hyped up. Understood, that in a tipsy/drunk state, it's difficult to make it to Hyderabadi Spice.. but it's totally worth it! We also got the Lamb Biryani (£12.95) which portion-wise is perfect for 2. In fact, we couldn't finish our Biryani. It's not the best biryani I've had, but still absolutely delicious! Service wise, really good experience. Attentive and friendly staff.

Keenly priced and the only downside was an obnoxious table over the other side of the room, one member of which I'm convinced mooned my companion & I whilst outside for a cigarette, who took delight in winding up the waiter at the end of their visit. Unfortunately they probably have to put up with that all too often.

Food: 5/5 Service: 3.5/5…read more I decided to visit the restaurant because it's not far from my hotel near the ExCel area and it was also on the Michelin recommended list. The food was fantastic. I ordered 2 small plates to start: the lamb samosas and the Gressingham Duck tikka, which was on their seasonal special menu. The samosas were light and the lamb filling was flavorful and spiced perfectly. You can taste the lamb and the Indian spices used in making the dish. The chutney / sauce that accompanied the dish provided a nice sweet and sour foil to the spiced lamb filling. It was divine. The Duck tikka was more heavily spiced but in a good way. The vermicelli like noodles on which the Duck rested were delicious, as well as the Duck. The savory notes worked in tandem with the little bit of garlic that was in the sauce of the vermicelli, which was awesome. The lamb main dish had such a deep flavor and it didn't disappoint as a main dish with the curry sauce. The apple samosa was the perfect ending to the meal. The apple filling was elevated by the nutmeg and the cardamom. The house made apricot toffee ice cream was creamy and smooth. It wasn't overly sweet and worked in perfect harmony with the apple samosa. The service could be improved (I waited by the host stand for about 3-5 minutes before someone saw me from the kitchen and grabbed the host. I was the only one in the restaurant at the time (18:10). I was presented with the choice between sparkling water and still water and picked sparkling, but was then told it only came in big bottles, and so I asked for regular water. However, he never came back with the water and took my water glass, in fact. Another server checked on me, which was nice. Also, the owners came out and checked on my food and talked to me for a little bit as well, which was nice. Other than the missteps in the beginning, I would say this was an overall good experience). The restaurant is lovely and is located by the water. I had a great view to the sunset as I enjoyed the dinner. If I'm back in this area, I will definitely return.

Came here for my birthday celebration with the family. I definitely have no regrets…read more The food is superb, cooked fresh and full of flavour that you would expect from a really good ruby. The staff are polite and attentive to your every need. Can't fault them at all. To add to this, they have a fantastic offer on during the week. Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday you get a 5 course meal for £12. This is excellent if you have a group of you as you can order individual items and share around. There is always plenty of food, not small portions as part of the deal but a full in meal that we all struggled to finish. Visit their website to find out more on the offer but it truly is exceptional. If you are in the area and want a truly great curry for a excellent price then don't hesitate to come here.

I raised it quietly with him at the time, but he did not acknowledge it. I subsequently became severely nauseous and suffered from sickness that lasted all night. I emailed restaurant management the next day to report this privately. Having received no response, I followed up again three weeks later. Management has completely ignored both messages. Because of the lack of response to a hygiene failure, I have reported this matter to the local Environmental Health department. I cannot recommend this establishment due to the poor hygiene and lack of customer service.

The owner is so friendly, always very welcoming and chatty and is genuinely interested in how you are. We had not booked a table and it is normally always quite busy, but we were seated immediately. We started with some poppadoms and then ordered the special meal deal- £12.50 for a starter, main dish, vegetable side and either rice or naan. It is great value for money. I had onion bhajia and my fellow diner had chicken chaat. We both ordered chicken razala for our main dish and shared mustard Bombay potatoes, sprouts with onion, pilau rice and a naan. We were stuffed! The meal was excellent. The curry was on the spicer side, but we had been made aware of that before ordering. I loved all the sauces and dips that come with the poppadoms! My favorite is the carrot, mango chutney and the other orange one, not sure of the flavor but it is amazing. Service is always excellent and I'm sure I will continue to come here for years to come when visiting London.

Mia the owner greets all of his customers and will remember all of you names. The food is delicious and menu quite extensive. We have often had little extra side dishes bought up to our table for us to try. They are always experimenting with new food and value your opinions. After your gorgeous culinary experience, you will be presented with little glasses of Tia Maria and cream. We are always invited then by Mia to have another drink on the house. This is a large restaurant but most nights it is packed out. On Friday nights he has Elvis along to sing. At the end of the evening most people are up dancing. On Sundays there is a buffet but you can still order off the main menu. I totally recommend this place, you will be given a big warm welcome and then be in for a true curry feast. The prices are reasonable too. They do takeaways and you will always be offered a drink when you come to collect, there is a discount on takeaways. You must try this restaurant, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!
