Spice n Ice

I'm sorry to report that the food here was DISGUSTING. We ordered 4 dishes, all of which taste of decay and nothingness. There are some good places in the area. This isn't one of them. Do not order.

Nice food but only the starters are exceptional. It is way too pricey for what you get and some items like the Hakka noodles have no flavour at all. They either need to be consistent with taste for all their food to justify such high prices as there cannot be such a high contrast with how tasty the starters are then flavourless noodles.

Nothing bad , nothing exceptional. Good change of restaurant for us for an Indian food.

The food was tasty. Just one thing about that made us feed bad. We ordered mango lassi. We tasted and felt the taste was not balanced and asked the waiter to add more mango pulp and adjust. The jug was taken..he asked if we wanted to return the lassi we poured in the glass too. We said No. One of the staff too the jug to a room and got back the same jug. ( may be a spoon of pulp was added). There was nothing different. We did not say anything. With such amazing food and taste one small thing like this leaves a bad memory. I hope they take care. But overall the food was all great.

We went on a weekday, so I’m sure the vibe will be different at the weekend. We were the only ones there for a good 30-40 mins (7.15pm on a Thursday), but a few more people came in afterwards. Don’t let it deter you though - the food was phenomenal & the service was on point. The food is some of the best indo-chinese I’ve had!

What used to be a favourite restaurant in South Croydon is now no longer worth it. Unsure if it is a change in staff or the quality is not checked before coming out of the kitchen. It used to be a go to place for Roomali roti. This time the roti was made of Maida instead of Atta and wasn’t fresh. The manchow soup was also very disappointing. I am going to stop now as I usually don’t review when the food is bad. Unfortunately, never again.

Probably went with very high expectations. Food, service and ambience were all average and we were disappointed. Soups were fine but quantity not right for the price; chiming was ok. The paneer schezwan had peas in it so we were confused if it was matar paneer with a diff sauce. Didn’t manage to beat through to have dessert. Clean toilets, parking is very painful.

Spice N Ice is a good restaurant serving indo-chinese food. We had a good meal comprising of starters including mixed grilled platter (lamb chops, chicken tikka, shish kebab, fish tikka), tai pai prawns, chow chu calamari, chicken lollipops, garlic chilli mogo. Comparisons can be drawn with the Imperial Restaurant on the Purley Way, both have their strengths and weaknesses.

I really like this place. Their food is unique and not like any other fusion place I've been too. Probably because it combines both Indian and East-Asian food. At the same time they have a few other menu items which are completely their own creation. All of the entrees are pretty small and if you're really hungry, you'll run up a big fat bill in no time. For us Yanks, this is worse after the conversion of course. The best time to come here is A, when you're already about 25-50% full, or B, on someone else's dime. One of the chicken dishes there is really good- my family and I have dubbed it the atomic Chicken because it's served in a spicy bright green sauce that makes it look radioactive. We usually end up getting at least 2 or 3 orders of this. Their cashew chicken is also really good, but again small. There is almost never a wait here (maybe because of the $$$) which is cool. Sometimes the place is completely empty. The seating and tables are really comfortable, with lots of leg/elbow room. The attitude of the waiters is a bit indifferent/ timid. I don't understand why. They are hard to hear, don't speak much, and are very quick to agree with you as if trying to just get to the end of your interaction with them. There is no handicap access for the stairs. Overall, I like this place a lot and will definitely come back for the food. It's best to go in a group because then you can try a lot of different things.

Be very careful if you are a vegetarian! You may find a piece of Chicken in your vegetarian dish! And the manager will not understand that vegetarians don't eat chicken. The manager is very rude and will not make any changes to the dishes.
