Peterborough’s very own hidden gem, a variety of options unavailable elsewhere from hard shell crab, shark, hare, venison and much more. Rich in flavour and spices. I will be coming back here as a regular customer.Went as a group of 5 with starters mains sides drinks totalled to around £45 each very affordable and generous with the portions along with brilliant service

As an Indian and having studied in Goa plus as a hotelier I know my food.. entering to the restaurant I was not sure if it was the right choice as the place was busy, the staff were preparing a table of 10-12, for people who were waiting and although they saw us, continued the set up (strange)..I was like let’s go out but something inside me told me wait and finally after 5 minutes (when waiting it makes you feel 15mins) we were finally approached and taken to a table which was free..But now my entire assumption was changed, the server was immediately to our table, the order taking was prompt (slightly unsure if they had the drink - Amrit whiskey) I was asking for.The drinks were quick to arrive and the food was Jet speed. The appetizers were delicious and the portion size was decent..Our mains were also delivered promptly and this convinced me that the step by step service sequences followed must be really good.The server Ronaldinho (No guesses about his origin) and Beatrice were both professional and helpful.I also spoke to the restaurant manager while he was checking on us and shared my positivesOnly part I felt strange as I had asked to see the chef but although he was present, he kept himself away from our table while busy ensuring the other were checked on and surprisingly clearing tables (Especially his chutney sets), I guess they were short of it as we had never received it with our kebabs. Strangely he was right present while we were paying the bill but again refrained from interacting. Not sure if it was my heritage that kept him away.Just FYI, the restaurant gets quite loud as it’s more like a dining hall set up and the voice really echoes.

Fantastic Goan restaurant! The restaurant design was charming, and it had a lovely atmosphere.The staff were welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. They were accommodating any requests we had.As for the food, everything was delicious. For starters, we tried the chicken lollipops, lamb chops, and king prawns. These were an excellent mix. Whilst the portion sizes were tiny for the price paid, it was redeemed by the quality, and I'd highly recommend them. For mains, we ordered some Naans, Octopus chillie fry (hot but delicious), k. Prawn biriyani and some other Goan dishes, all of them were cooked to perfection. We were so happy we ordered a collection for lunch the next day.Overall, it is a great Goan restaurant (which is hard to come by) with great food and lovely staff. I'm looking forward to coming back again.

We had a work meal here and it was a brilliant experience. Right from the booking to the dietary requirements everyone was catered for and looked after. Great service, excellent atmosphere! Will definitely be going again soon

The Spice Affair is a great place to visit for dinner, whether you're looking for something traditional or want to try something new. The menu offers an array of delicious Goan dishes that you will not find elsewhere in Peterborough. From the Chouriço Assado – a Portuguese black pudding sausage flamed grilled – to the chef special dishes, there's plenty of unique flavours on offer here. My colleagues from Portugal and south India were both impressed with how authentic it was!If you’re looking for somewhere different in Peterborough then 1498 The Spice Affair should definitely be top of your list! Not only does it provide excellent food but also an interesting story behind its identity; one which celebrates Goan cuisine and the Portuguese explorers who once reached India centuries ago. If nothing else, this restaurant will give you some conversation starters when dining out with friends or family.The Wednesday and Sunday evening special offer is especially great value for money.

Love this place.Made to feel very welcome as soon as you walk in.Food is outstanding. Well I think it is anyway. Me and the misses often pop in for a meal. Would recommend a visit. Not a massive menu but I like that. Because what they cook they cook very well

We got takeout from here last week and tried their highly recommended Chicken Lollipops. We opened the box to find 7 lollipops instead of the 5 mentioned on the menu. The lollipops were amazing! Not too spicy and absolutely loaded with flavour! One of the best dishes I’ve had in a really really long time! Really looking forward to visiting again.

A lovely little hidden gem nestled in a lovely setting. We had not booked a table but staff were able to accommodate us despite a busy schedule. It was our first time there having been recommended by a friend. It did not disappoint. Very friendly staff. Delicious food. A great experience all around. Looking forward to our next visit.. it can’t come quick enough!
