Spice n Ice Restaurant

Visited twice - for dinner and a birthday party, private room hire. I wasn't too impressed when I went for dinner. Slightly overpriced. The chicken mahkani was very mild and creamy, the lamb chops were good. But the sizzling prawn noodles were overcooked, chewy and didn't taste very fresh. We only had 1 bite and mentioned to the staff that we didn't like it, but nothing was done about it. Mocktail Pina colada was also more cream than pinapple. The sauces that came with the popadom were extremely watery and tasted like nothing I have ever tried before!! Looked like it had been diluted down! The food as the birthday party was better. The curries were much better than what I had ordered previously. They sorted out the sauces. Buffet selection, all the dishes were very good. Overall the Indian menu seems to be better than the Chinese menu. And the quality of the food can be variable depending on the day. The car parking is small, prob 6 cars max at a tight squeeze. Food is halal.

We came back from Mumbai after 12 years. Visited with relatives. Spice N Ice is a good Indo-chinese restaurant with South -Asian taste. Owners always around the bar. A family run restaurant, great location and ambience, staff services excellent, near and clean, plenty of vegetarian options.

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.

Tasty authentic Indian food! Great service, good ambiance, tasty finger licking food! Try the crispy okra or Tai pai paneer! Manchou soups…..Its a great place for spicy indo Hakka food. Will keep visiting again and again!

It was Ok. Recommended by a friend ..not bad except that its pricey in some cases

Amazing food, super attentive service, atmosphere this time not as good coz there were only3 tables with customers. There wasn't the usual buzz which may be as it was post Xmas! It suited us though... due to risk of CoVid/ Flu and the fact that we could hear each other talking without having to shout 😁😎 Ps - they also have a function room and the restaurant is located on the ground floor of a hotel.

Our organisation went here for our Christmas meal and it was a complete disaster. There was no customer serivce and no buffet considering it was suppose to be buffet style service. We waited on average 1.5 hours between courses and they made us wait nearly 2 hours for our starters from seating which was the cheapest items on the menu, factory packed, deep fried, cheap, tasteless rubbish.We were pretty much left alone in the large empty room while they fussed with their Asian clientele in their restaurant area. No Christmas decorations, no welcome, not even a Christmas cracker on the table a throughly awful place to have a Christmas celebration. When the main arrived it was placed in the corner of the room on two of the smallest tables and hardly enough food for 20 toddlers let alone 40 adults, some of which did not even eat. No one filled their plate as all were conscious for the next colleague. When we requested more food we were ignored and/or English was not understood. They received over £400 for our visit and we received less then £40 worth of food, overly priced bar stocked with the cheapest alcohol options served in premium bottles, that was not the indicated Smirnoff i was drinking but that new cheap option thats entered the UK recently for example. I would never recommend anyone to have any party here at any point of the year in case they treat / rob you the same too.

Brilliant ambience. Great food. The indo Chinese food taste is amazing. A bit on the expensive side however worth it.

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.
