We were a group of 5, so chose a wide variety of dishes. All were well cooked and had excellent flavour - the main problem was deciding which one I preferred. Staff were welcoming and efficient without being too hurried. Will definitely return.

We dined on a Friday night and the service and food was very good with many different meals to choose from than the usual food found in a British Indian restaurant. The cost was below what I would expect for this standard of restaurant and we would definitely visit again.

Best curry I've EVER had! Very good service. Family friendly which suited us as we have a 7 month old baby.

We booked a meal here for our family (7 people) my husband and I only eat Halal meat. The staff were very friendly and professional. The service was super quick and the food was the best Indian food we have ever experienced. There were lots of nice little extra touches like warm cleaning cloths after your meal and fresh orange...

The poppadoms were stale , the curry dishes were all very mediocre.we would not visit this restaurant... More

On moving to live in Torquay I was eager to seek out a regular venue , During my 25 years here, I've tried them all, over a wide area, with varying, mostly disappointing results - (one was great for a while, but went downhill when ownership changed ) - except for Simla Spice, now much improved since its early days...

All curries were of a bright synthetic colour and all were overwhelmingly hot. There was VERY little meat in the curries but lots of onion. Service sporadic. A disappointing family experience. Won't ever go there again.
