I cannot begin to describe the amazingness that is this restaurant. The host was extremely friendly, one of the things I remember even a year later. The waiting staff were all very responsive and friendly as well. Their explanations of the dishes were very helpful and informative. The food was amazing. The best Indian food I've ever had. They have a diverse selection of dishes as well. Some items were nice and spicy while others were more mild. The deserts were awesome too. I seriously can't say enough about this place, it's one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The next time I'm in the UK I am making it a point to get up to Newcastle again so I can go to Spice Cube.

We came into Newcastle late on a Sunday and everyone had stopped serving food. We lucked upon Simla…read morethat was still serving! Everything we had was delicious. The Paneer with garlic chili sauce starter was tangy and slightly spicy and super tasty. I had the grilled Marsala Fish which was sea bass and it was excellent. My sister had the Mixed Khazana which had lamb, sea bass, chicken and prawns and everything was cooked perfectly. The chicken Karahi was also great. Nice atmosphere and amazing food at very good prices.

Pleasant atmosphere with good service. We arrived around 8pm and were seated quickly. Food was…read moretasty, if not a little under seasoned. Had to ask for lime pickle with popadoms. Trio of chicken starter was a little underwhelming, but the madras was fiery and nice. Towards the end of our meal, though, the manager kept harassing us to leave a review on trip advisor. Very pushy and ruined the experience for us. Will not return

Meals started to be served around 10pm and we where still waiting for the last meal to arrive at 11pm nan breads arrived after the last meal was served and to no table in particular they where sent back but staff forgot to take them from bill. I can't express how devastated I was after giving as much notice and even food orders the week earlier only to be ignored and fobbed off with poor excuses. Totally ruined my night and after eating there for the last few years on a regular basis I honestly thought they would have been prepared and not treat me and my family with total disrespect. Will NEVER be back

The children found the menu too limiting. I'd rather restaurants do this and so they can concentrate on the dishes, and make them splendid. A fruit juice was provided free of charge prior to the main course O Dear. I had the Lamb Madras - The right amount of heat,but the lamb was so tough. I left it, and commented when a person came to the table. They took it away, but now my son was saying his chicken was too dry, my wife was saying that hers lacked flavour but had the heat she likes. My daughter had the korma, renowned for being mild, and the waiter said so when she placed the order. This was burning her lips. The owner approached me asking if he could supply a different dish, but given the other comments, I declined. My meal was taken off the bill, but as the others didn't speak up for themselves, then they were left as is... My daughter had the chocolate ice cream, and my son had the mango sorbet. Both were fine. There was a small rice dish provided before the sweets arrived. Again FOC. Total spend, with the deduction, £81 I have lamb at my favourite restaurant in Redditch, and I have never had problems with the lamb. It falls apart at the slightest touch. The lamb here was very poorly cooked stewing steak. It is a shame. I shan't return. A family meal spoilt when I had recommended it too them. ----------------------------- Visited 25/1/17 - 5 stars A group of 6. Food Standards Agency rating: 5/5. We shared: A snack tray (£3.00) consisting of: Achappam Pappada Vadai Banana Chips Murukku Pappadams Pickles and Chutneys (£3.00): A pickle trays consist of: Chicken Pickle Garlic Pickle Fish Pickle Mixed Vegetable Pickle Lemon Pickle Coriander Chutney All very good and unusual. I had as a starter: Kerala Fish Fry £6.50 Kingfish marinated in a spicy paste made of ginger, green chillies and coriander, then shallow fried in the traditional fashion. A bit salty for my taste, I still woofed it down. Main: Malabar Kozhi Curry £8.95 A most common chicken curry made in Kerala. Cubes of boneless cooked in a lovely pepper masala made from garlic, mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chillies and ginger. I had it with boiled rice rather than the lemon rice that was recommended. I am not normally a meat and sauce type person, but this was delicious. The righ amount of heat and flavour. The staff were very attentive. I think that the menu is smaller than you'd encounter elsewhere, but I think that this is to their advantage, rather seeing the usual chicken tikka fayre: pathia, madras, dhansak, etc. Great place and spotlessly clean.
