I brought my friend up to Scotland from Middlesbrough we went to motherland spice his word some of the best food he had ever ate I still get texts saying oooh the food in that motherland spice can't stop thinking about it and he's a good person for him to give it such good feedback not being a local should speak for itself

We had a great lunch here yesterday, I had chicken kahari with tandoori roti and my wife had chicken bhuna with plain nan. Both of us had pakoras to start and I had ice cream to finnish while she had lovely coffee. Great friendly service and quick as well. All in all a lovely restaurant . At a reasonable cost we'll be back for sure. We'll done

Service is terrible! Asked 3 times for the missing rice with no fruition, when I handed back the dish and asked for it to be removed from the bill, only then did they want to give me what I required to enjoy my dinner. By then it was far too late my appetite was dead like the meal sitting before me! If you can't manage large bookings then don't take them! Shocking service and a total disregard to the customers!

Very freshly prepared high standard of Indian Cuisine. Good portions for a three course set meal business lunch menu. Can't fault this place. Lovely decor cosy atmosphere relaxing surroundings. Owners have invested and spent money that is clearly evident. Can easily give a lot of the City Indian restaurants more than a run for their money. I had the mixed pakora with chutney dip starter the veg pakora was a 10/10. Chasni chicken curry10/10 pilau rice light& fluffy perfect.10/10. Nan breads garlic & peshwari excellent. Service excellent well timed, between courses attentive without being over the top. In the words of Arnie I, ll be back!!

Motherland was recommended to us and the reviews are very positive, however, our experience, on the whole, was disappointing. Sag paneer was lovely and the other curries were ok, but nothing special. The pakora and nans were awful. They did not seem fresh at all, pakora a bit rubbery, and nans were tough - fairly Inedible.

Went to try lunch here one random Thursday. Was fairly busy for being a midweek lunch down in Saltcoats. The Service was shockingly slow. Portion sizes are genuinely what you pay for & no extra if you are small to medium sized eater then perfect for you but they’re not huge huge portions whatsoever. Food quality was better than the average but not outstandingly good. Prices were great but I genuinely wouldn’t have mind paying a few pounds extra for better service and a slightly bigger portion. Won’t be in a rush to return, but would recommend if you were in the area.

Enjoyed a delicious meal at this brilliant Indian. Ambiance lovely - we enjoyed sitting in one of the cosy comfortable booths, plenty of space. Nicely decorated, modern lighting and clean. Portions were enormous, shared a naan, but we'd recommend getting a rice each. Delicious curry and naan, also really enjoyed the desserts. Portion sizes and top quality made the price extremely reasonable. Loads of meat in the curries, perfectly prepared. Service was attentive, friendly and timed perfectly. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again if we were in the area or to recommend. We parked on the street outside (free), but this was limited; there was a sort of carpark round the side, not sure if tgis belonged to the restaurant or not.

Food was excellent but service was terrible. Ordered the table buffet for 4. The starters came on 2 dishes each with only 1 piece of fish and 1 piece of haggis pakora, plenty chicken . Grandson asked for extra curry and then we had to ask again after 15 mins. Asked for the bill 3 times ,which we eventually got after 35 minutes.

Wow! Ordered a takeaway from here tonight and it was hands down the best Indian meal I have had in a very, very long time. Full of flavour and not even a hint of dry chicken anywhere to be seen. Not long moved to the area so I am delighted to have found somewhere I can get high quality Indian food from. Will be my number one choice from now on!

Food is always top notch and there’s something for everyone!! I normally always get the chicken tempura then I like to go for a jalfrezi and a side of rice, Nan and chips to share. Then followed by ice cream. It’s good value at lunchtime but remember it’s only on from 12-2 pm!!! I’ve came numerous times and have been stung by this. My only complaint is the noise since it’s rather small in size the noise can be a bit overwhelming at times especially when you’re trying to speak.

Absolutely brilliant night at Motherland Spice. I went with a party of 16 and the staff were fantastic from when we arrived to when we left. The food was as lovely and plentiful- and all at a extremely reasonable price. A waiter saw me mopping up Rohan Josh with some Nann and came over and asked if I needed some more curry. After all the lovely starters and large portion of main course, I didn’t have room for any more… but still it was nice to be asked. Highly recommend

By far the best place to go to eat not only outstanding flavours and excellent quality food with maximum value, but the hospitality is off the scale. All staff are lovely and polite and very professional, but at the same time feel as though we have known them for years. Do not like going anywhere else for dinner since going here! Always left comparing to motherland spice and as the barrier is so high no where comes close.

Hadn't been in Irvine for nearly two years due to Covid and lockdowns, so a great opportunity to meet up with family for a meal - Lawthorn was preferred choice all round. Popular place, but they managed to squeeze in our booking for a table of 8 when booked a few days in advance.On arrival, greeted and seated quickly, drinks order taken and we opted for buffet (various starters and choices of mains, served at table), all of which were served quickly, by friendly staff.Far too much food served (we couldn't eat it all), so great value for money (for what we finally paid for the bill).Highly recommend!

Freaking brilliant, especially taking the price tag into account. Takeaway quantity and quality were both on point!! Butter chicken was to die for, nice and creamy. Chicken Jaipur was also a treat. Chicken pakora was excellent. naan bread was a worthy size. Look forward to coming here often in the future.
