Spice Land

Spice Land is a Branston Road takeaway that runs an unusually wide menu — Indian and Pakistani curries on the South Asian side, plus pizza, burgers and Middle Eastern options for the wider walk-in trade. It sits a few doors along from the long-running Ali Babas and Godfathers pair, on a stretch of central Burton-upon-Trent where the takeaway turnover is fast and the competition is close.

The curry side leans Punjabi — karahis, baltis and the standard British-curry-house roster of jalfrezi, bhuna, madras and rogan josh — with tandoori starters of chicken tikka and seekh kebabs. Pizzas run the standard topping list through to chicken-tikka and donner versions for the late-evening trade; the Middle Eastern board is shawarma wraps, falafel and grilled chicken. Pricing fits the lower-middle range of the local market.

Trade is collection and delivery via Foodhub, Uber Eats and the major aggregators across central Burton. Reviews settle in the mid-to-warm range — the kitchen runs busy and the menu breadth means quality can be variable across the board, with curries generally rated above pizzas. A useful one-stop for households where one person wants a karahi and another wants a meat-feast.
