Momtaj Spice - South Staffordshire

Clearly, this curry house is making so much profit that it does not bother to stay open until the advertised closing time. I arrived at 10:40 on the Friday after Christmas, only to find the door locked and no one answering the phone. It's understandable to close early, but it should be clearly communicated to customers. This was a disappointing experience.

We tried Momtaj Spice's takeout service while on the local Shropshire Union Canal. Two of us walked to the restaurant, located above a local pub, to place our order. They were very accommodating to the dietary restrictions of one of our group. Once our order was placed, the food was delivered to another pub in the village, next to the canal, where we enjoyed a drink while waiting. Most of the dishes we ordered, such as Chicken Madras, Chicken Korahi, Tarka Dahl, King Prawn Balti, Saag Aloo, and Saag Paneer, were delicious. Unfortunately, the Onion Bahji was a letdown as it was bland and too greasy. If we were in the area again, we would definitely return to try more dishes.

Stopped on the canal at Wheaton Aston and decided a curry was the choice food for the night and so pleased we did. Ordering a takeaway was easy and delivery to the canal was included. Delivery was within the quoted time and the food was superb. Nothing to fault everything to praise.

We were moored here on pur boat and phoned this place for a takeaway. We had chicken tikka starter and chicken tikka jalfrezi main. The whole meal was average. Nothing great and nothing bad. Chicken a bit rubbery. Deliver service was first class. After phoning order the delivery driver met me on the canal bridge 20 mins later with food. Overall an average Indian meal. Would not rush back to this place.

The food here is excellent, the menu extensive, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Living nearby, we usually collect food for home consumption, but we have taken several groups here and the food and atmosphere were well received. The entrance is rather uninviting, but the restaurant is very pleasant.
