We ordered curry from this restaurant last night, and it was absolutely fantastic. The flavors were rich and authentic, clearly made with fresh ingredients and care. Each bite had the perfect balance of spices—aromatic without being overpowering—and the freshness really stood out. It felt like a true taste of traditional curry. We’ll definitely be ordering again soon. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine, flavorful Indian cuisine!

Excellently food, great service lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Our host Akhil was professional , friendly and kind.
I stumbled across this restaurant while randomly searching for ‘chicken lollipop’—what a lucky find! I was thrilled to see Kerala dishes on the menu and decided to order delivery. To my surprise, it turned out to be the best Indian food we’ve had since moving to Cheltenham (we have tried all the popular restaurants). The flavours are authentic, the ingredients fresh, and it truly tastes almost homemade. We’ll definitely be ordering again and again!
I had lunch at Spice Mantra today, and it was an excellent experience! The ambience was warm and inviting, and the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. I started with the Chilli Paneer and Mantra Special Chicken, both of which were outstanding. For the mains, I had the Lamb Biryani, Butter Chicken Masala with Garlic & Coriander Naan. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic Indian flavors, it was refreshing to enjoy such tasty Indian cuisine. A big thank you to the team for a memorable meal—I'll definitely be visiting again!
5 Stars – A Hidden Gem in Gloucester! Spice Mantra is an absolute delight and easily one of the best Indian dining experiences I’ve had in the UK. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations tailored to our preferences. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavours, beautifully presented, and perfectly spiced. The butter paneer was rich and creamy, the saag paneer was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the garlic naan was fresh and fluffy. You can tell that the chefs here take real pride in what they serve. What sets Spice Mantra apart is their consistency and attention to detail – it’s clear that they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. Whether you’re a fan of bold spices or prefer something milder, they’ll make sure you leave happy. Highly recommend for a cozy dinner, celebrations, or simply when you’re craving top-quality Indian cuisine. A real gem in Gloucester!
Finding genuine Indian, especially Kerala cuisine, in Gloucester is no easy task — but this restaurant is a hidden gem! The flavors were absolutely spot on, just like how we get back home. Every bite transported us to the kitchens of Kerala — rich, aromatic, and full of soul. Portions were generous, and each dish was not only satisfying to the tummy but also comforting to the mind and soul. The staff are ever smiling and helpful!! If you’re craving Indian food with authentic Kerala flavors, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!
