Spice Garden

Spice Garden is an Indian takeaway on Alexandra Road, the stretch running east out of Swadlincote town centre toward Newhall and the Pipeworks site. It runs as a phone-and-collect kitchen with a delivery radius covering Swadlincote, Newhall, Hartshorne and the surrounding South Derbyshire estates. South Derbyshire District Council holds the kitchen on the Food Standards Agency register.

The menu covers the British-Bangladeshi mainstream — tandoori starters, balti, bhuna, jalfrezi, madras and dhansak across chicken, lamb, prawn and vegetarian, plus a smaller Thai section and a chef's-specials list. The shop flags vegetarian and vegan dishes explicitly through its menu, which is unusual for a small estate Indian takeaway and points to the kitchen taking that side of the order seriously. Rice, naan and a wide chutney-and-pickle sundries list complete the order.

The shop runs evening service Sunday through Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday, closing Wednesdays — so worth checking the day before a midweek order. Reviews on Tripadvisor and the local directories highlight generous portion sizes and fast delivery, and the kitchen takes orders through the shop's own site at myspicegarden.uk alongside Just Eat. A small parade unit, no sit-in dining.
