The Spice Inn - St. Helens

Empty restaurant and sat in window, which was fine with us, ordered our food..a table of three people very loud and argumentative were sat beside us, felt uneasy as they were looking for trouble! slightly annoying when the restaurant was empty! The starters came and the prawn puree was terrible with a hard uncooked pastry thing placed on top! Wierdest thing ever and we have had plenty of Indian meals over the years. The meat samosa not good, greasy with no filling and again we have certainly had better. Although both currys were not too bad the garlic naan was absolutely dreadful! Definitely bought in and no garlic on it! It was the worst nann we had ever had in an Indian restaurant, the chips were laughable! Little tiny french fries, I have better quality in my freezer! Couldn't wait to get out! Never ever again!

The food and service at this restaurant are excellent. It is the best Indian food in the area. The restaurant is clean, tidy, and reasonably priced. The staff are always friendly and polite.

Ate here recently and there is a very good choice and variation of signature dishes available. Mrs W had the shaslick karah which went down a treat , I opted for the pepper fry dish which was very tasty and full of flavour despite being more pepper onion than there was chicken. Service was good and value for money is excellent. Will dine here agian no problem.

Evening meal took 1 hour 40 mins to appear from ordering , Food was good but the waiting spoiled the evening

I had a terrible experience with this takeout from the restaurant. The lamb was chewy and the sauce was like water with a hint of spice. I don't understand how some people rate this place higher than the other great Indian restaurant in Rainhill. It's not even cheaper. I will definitely be avoiding this place from now on.
