While many Indian Takeaways arrive on your doorstep greasy and cold, Eastern Spices has mastered the art of delivery. It's run by the same company as Blackhall's Bombay Feast and the centrally located Zest, and the menu combines an excellent mix of standard staples such as madras, korma and bhoona with a selection of more exotic seafood, chicken and lamb choices. The service is efficient and friendly, be it for delivery or carry-out orders, and the starters, especially the onion baajees, match the mains for quality. While the spinach-based dishes are highly recommended, for those looking for a simpler takeaway option the lamb madras' blend of spices and tender meat is difficult to top.

After a lazy sunday afternoon we decided to consult the list to help us satisfy an insatiable desire for indian cuisine.
Eastern Spices is centrally located with parking available. The menu has a good range of specialties together with classics however no one specialty truly took my fancy. We had poppadoms with onion chutney, mushroom pilau rice, peshwari naan, tandoori lamb tikka and lamb Muglai Chana Gosht.
Good: Timely service, Peshwari naan, Lamb Chana Gosht was tender and fairly tasty but ultimately lacking in 'freshly-ground-spice-flavour'.
Bad: Grossly overcooked dry lamb tandoori, Greasy small portion of rice, cold tandoori on arrival, chutney gave the impression of chopped onion blended with tomato puree
Overall a fairly poor takeaway indian and we wont be rushing back.
