Taste Of Spice - Scottish Borders

One of the best Indian meals I've had. Friendly staff, stylish decor (an Edinburgh New-Town vibe), reasonable prices. What a gem on Selkirk's High Street.

I have eaten in this establishment many times, when i lived in the borders and since moving as well. But yesterday evening for the 2nd time in a couple of months their service was a disgrace. I went in and asked for a table for 1 as i was playing in a concert in the town later in the evening, there was no-one else in the restaurant, 40mins later when 2 friends walked in got a table for 2 without any trouble, it was still virtually empty. I was told i could have a carry out meal, but if i wanted a carry-out i would have asked for one, and i was in a car so hardly practical, virtually the same thing happened at beginning of November. I have given reviews of this restaurant many times, and always been good reviews, but never again will i be in this restaurant, i travelled to Gala Tandoori and was given a table without any hesitation. I havent always eaten on my own, and have taken multiple friends there. You have lost a regular customer and someone who actively encouraged others to eat there, but no more, if my money isnt good enough as a single customer thats fine, im sure Gala Tandoori will receive it happily.

Had a takeaway from here. The curries and rice were good, so no complaint there, but the 'chapatis ' were tortilla wraps. Maybe I am out of touch, but I found it very expensive for a takeaway. Usually a takeaway is cheaper than sitting in, so I suspect they did not give any discount for the takeaway.

I recently had a takeaway from Taste of Spice in Selkirk and I have to say if I didn’t live 10 mins away by car I would have returned it. I ordered a veggie Curry with Rice and it was absolutely tasteless, no flavour nor depth. I notice a few good reviews for sitting which makes me think the takeaway service is not of the same quality. Sorry but I won’t be back.

Myself and the wife visited here 2/9/22 and the food is excellent,service polite and quick. i love madras currys and i have to say i have had many curries in many restaurants-but this was eceptional. everything from starters to mains we enjoyed. really recommend if your travelling in the area.
