Malton Spice - Ryedale

Would rate it 10 stars if I could. faster and polite service. one of the best curries I had in Britain. would recommend 100% and will come back at our next visit.

I called here for a holiday near. sensible eating and both curries were delicious. would recommend.

Used the discount voucher and had a reasonable meal

The first poor review that I’ve written, such is my disappointment, I feel compelled to write one as I don’t want anybody else to be disappointed. A group of guys from Church booked a table for a curry and a couple of beers and wanted to make it a regular occurrence. 1, As I walked in the manager/supervisor was swearing at somebody on the phone. 2, No draught beer (in itself no problem) but there were only a few bottles of beer in the fridge, we were a table of 7 so we had warm beer. 3, Poppadoms were stale. Very stale! So we sent them back. They were replaced with fresh poppadoms 4, One guy ordered meat samosas and vegetable samosas turned up. These were replaced. The Onion Bhajis were a bit dry. 5, The main course was very good 6, The tables were small and as we had empty bottles (which I eventually moved onto another table myself) on the table as well as glasses and also paper takeaway menus (bizarrely no restaurant menu) the tables were congested and the waiters placed the food in lots of weird but not wonderful places. 7, To say the staff were unmotivated is an understatement. We genuinely had the impression that we were an inconvenience. We weren’t expecting much, just some smiles and some manners. Given that we deliberately went on a quiet evening and we wanted to make it a regular occurrence, we expected at least a decent level of service. Whilst not rude, their attitude was very cold. 8, And then we come to the cost. Every single one of us was surprised at how expensive it was. Very, very surprised. And the bill wasn’t itemised, which made it hard, when we queried the amount. 9, The less said about the carpet to the toilet the better! 10, To their credit, they obviously realised how disappointed we were, and gave us a free beer each at the end. So this beer combined with how good the main course, gets them 2 stars. Sadly no more. If you want to go out for a curry in Malton, then I would genuinely consider driving through to Pickering instead. I’m genuinely saddened to say that it’s what we are going to do next time. I’m sorry for this Malton Spice! I have slept on this, got feedback from the other six guys who came along and we all agree. I hope that this feedback (whilst negative) encourages you to make improvements!

Not one of the best. Portions while probably just ample not as good as the majority of Indian restaurants we've visited. Also no card payments, cash only which is unusual these days for an eat in establishment
