Spice Village

Spice Village — now trading publicly as Arbroath Spice — is a multi-cuisine takeaway on Keptie Street, the long residential-cum-shopping street that runs north from the central Arbroath High Street out past the Keptie Pond and toward the inland residential belt. The shop runs the hybrid-takeaway format that has become standard in the smaller east-coast Scottish burghs, combining a curry-house menu with kebabs, pizzas, burgers and southern-fried chicken — a single kitchen handling the orders the residential streets behind it want for a Friday-night collection.

The curry side is led by chicken-tikka-masala and biryani — the established Bangladeshi-British curry-house standards — and the pizza side runs the usual stuffed-crust and big-tray late-evening orders. Trade pushes hard on the delivery side, with the shop ordering through its in-house site Arbroath Spice and the standard aggregators, and delivery hours running through the evening 7 days a week. Reviewers flag the friendly staff and the on-time hot deliveries as the regular positive — the operation is fronted by the same family who run the order line and the kitchen.

Keptie Street is one of the longer working streets of the burgh, and Arbroath Spice sits among the run of small independents — chippies, hairdressers and convenience stores — that line it.
