What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Lakeland Spice Cuisine offers flavorful Indian dishes with generous portions and friendly service, contributing to a cozy dining atmosphere. While many praise the quality of food and attentive staff, some reviews mention inconsistencies in service and attitude, and one reviewer noted a surprisingly high corkage fee.
"First time here ordered a takeaway consisting of tikka salmon with pilau rice and a madras sauce separately. The fish was cooked to perfection it was all so delicious which is why I ate it so quickly before remembering to take a picture oops……….
The staff were very polite and softly spoken.
Atmosphere- The atmosphere well I was definitely the odd one out. The people eating there were lot of elderly. They all seemed depressed not one smile between them. No laughter, no joy. For a moment I thought I was at a wake. I definitely wouldn’t recommend sitting in there the energy of the people was horrible. I had to thoroughly sage my self when I got out. (Saging) using sage stick to remove negative energy from one’s aura.
Price - it was a little pricey which is why I didn’t have a starter. However the quality of the food is reflected in this.
Would I go again……yes just to annoy some of the trying to be snobby individuals there. I think they were a little shocked to see me. However on a positive note I ate my meal in the comfort of my lovely campervan without dull vacant eyes of the people there staring at me."

"This is one of the best Bangladeshi Indian restaurants we have visited. The food quality was excellent and cooked to a great taste. The service was quick and the staff were very friendly. The atmosphere was great, too. They have decorated it well even though it's a small place. They serve halal meat.
We had to book in advance and wait until 9.30 pm before a table was available, but it was worth the wait.
Special thanks to Mansoor, who served us on that night."

"I cannot explain how grateful my sister and I were for Lakeland Spice this evening! We were visiting the beautiful Keswick area for the week, and quickly realized that there were extremely limited options for a late night dinner. We walked in around 9:45pm, offering to order takeout in order to not be an inconvenience, and were instead warmly welcomed to a cozy table in the back. The food was incredible. Warm, fresh, and perfectly (and richly) spiced. I highly recommend the garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and steamed rice. A huge thanks to the staff for their kindness and generosity of heart- you can tell this is a family-run business well worth supporting."
