Visited Botanic Spice on a Friday night and were warmly greeted and promptly seated. Drinks ordered and arrived swiftly along with poppadums and dips while we chose our dishes.The mixed starter was tasty and succulent meats, accompanied by onions, peppers and a tangy mango dip. Mains also excellent, full of flavour and spice and the garlic naan dripping with garlicky butter was sinfully delicious.Looking forward to our next visit to explore more of the menu!

We have eaten here once before a long time ago. We ordered Lahore Gosht, butter chicken and a korma for our daughter, as well as the tapas starter.The butter chicken had slices of chicken that obviously were added to the sauce rather than authentically cooked taking on flavour. This dish is supposed to be flavoursome, rich and with the chicken marinaded and cooked in the sauce. The korma was exactly the same as the butter chicken but with chunkier pieces of meat. My daughter aged 9 was given a full adult size portion.Having travelled to India many many times this restaurant left a lot to be desired.When our plates were taken away and the butter chicken had not been touched my husband told the waiter that it was not good, we got no apology and upon paying the bill they had not removed the cost of the dish or offered any reasoning for the food being below par.We have no issue paying for food, but for two adults and one child an £80 bill seems excessive for what we got.Really poor food - such a shame.Won’t be back.

I know it's hard to please us Asians when it comes to Chinese food but this place does the trick! I can see why it's rated the best Chinese food in Belfast. It's upscale and although it doesn't meet the quality of Hong Kong or other countries with a Chinatown, it did hit home and the food is worthy of praise. Especially after a long day of touring, we very much "welcomed" their rice dishes. ... Omg, I just read the restaurant's responses to some of the reviews. Really? You have to comment to their review that way?! How about a more positive response?

This review covers the Teppanyaki part only. We thought the food was acceptable, but fairly average. Bland even. You are paying for the entertainment of the experience. For the food quality, it's fairly overpriced.

What a great find!Everything we ordered from the menu was delicious and daily specials were also fantastic. Prompt and efficient service with an open kitchen where you can see the food being prepared. This is not your typical vegan/vegetarian restaurant and was equally enjoyed by the meat eaters with us.Can’t wait to return.

This relatively new addition to the ever expanding East Belfast food scene was a welcome surprise - but really, plastic trees in the sushi? What a blast from the past!And it’s BYOB £3.00 CorkageWe’ve driven past this restaurant a few times and it always looked intriguing. After hearing a few favourable comments, and having a rare free Saturday evening, we decided to give it a shot.We made a booking and were glad we did, because it was packed, and walk-ins were being politely turned away.There was an eclectic combination of customers which really gave the place a buzzy vibe.We ordered several dishes: to start-Spicy Tuna RollYasai GyozaKushiyaki &EdamameAnd for mains-Salmon teriyaki soba &Tofu steakIt was all excellent quality and it arrived when cooked, so this meant that we had time to savour each dish. If you’re in a rush, the service may feel a little slow, but we were delighted that we had time to enjoy each course before another arrived.There were two slightly odd things which confused us somewhat - we expect to be offered chopsticks in an Asian restaurant but when we sat at the table we were told that the restaurant had no chopsticks left. However when we looked round, one table of two which hadn’t yet arrived had chopsticks on theirs. We asked if could we have them, so the waitress then supplied us with those chopsticks. However during our meal we discovered that other tables were having chopsticks delivered to them on request and at the end of the evening, all the tables being set for lunch the next day were furnished with, yes you guessed it, chopsticks!! We were told there weren’t any! It just all felt a little bit weird.Secondly, a slightly retro peculiarity is the abundance of plastic foliage decorating the spicy tuna roll which felt completely unnecessary even though it made us smile about “Saturday Night Beneath The Plastic Palm Trees” by The Leyton Buzzards, and Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees”. Ah nostalgia!Overall we were really very pleasantly surprised at this addition to the area, providing fantastic quality Japanese food in an eclectic environment. It had a buzzing atmosphere and we will definitely be back.Hello! What an amazing and very detailed review, We loved it!!!! We treasure all our customers feedbacks including yours and makes us aware of what we can do better.... We are happy and thankful for spending your time with us... We hope to see you again soon! Thanks again!

Our second time eating in Nu Delhi and this time brought our friends with us to try it. We all went for the banquet which is 3 courses for £22 and excellent value. The menu has so much choice and the food we picked was delicious. The service from Ved was second to none... attentive and personable ..just a nice guy..Our food was washed down with deliciously cold pints of Cobra and then we all sampled cocktails from the extensive drinks menu.
