Review 7 Spices - Applecross

Always great food and good service. It is a very big place and is tastefully decorated albeit slightly ornate. Service is quick and easy. It is rarely ever crowded and the evening we went was no exception. Admittedly it was during peak COVID time in Perth. The masala dosa is one dish they make particularly well.

The food is so yummy😋! The quality and quantity of food are excellent🥣! Families 👪 or Friends can meet up here for dinner and spend decent enough time to get memorable moments🥳. I love the buffet, which is available every Friday and Saturday and is simply superb at a very minimal cost. The service is excellent! I need to appreciate the Chef👨‍🍳, Manager and his Team for all the great and consistent work enabling excellent customer satisfaction.

A beautiful array of selection for the Saturday buffet. From tender butter chicken or crispy garlic naan. However my only negative moment was that there was but a super spicy curry on option, as my experience with Indian food has always had some spice to it and though here had “spicy” on one of the curries it was not very spicy. I loved the d for and the service was most kind and helpful. It was quite a full house when I was there and a great place to have a party!!!! Excellent work 7Spices.

Wow!! Had a lovely time at 7 spices with family and friends. What great authentic Indian cuisine. Chef Arun and his team did an amazing job today. Cannot recommend them enough. Each dish presented was special and authentic. Special mention for his dishes are “vegetable cutlet”, “chicken lollipop”, “ chettinad goat curry. The chicken tikka masala was out of this world. Gobi Manchurian and Palak Paneer was outstanding. To finish the meal… you have to try his Gulab Jamun for desert. The service was prompt and very attentive to our needs. Nothing was too hard. Thank you and Chef Arun and team at 7 spices.

We had a really delicious meal here. We eat a lot of Indian in Melbourne. This restaurant has top quality meals

This is my favourite Indian restaurant in Perth. The dishes may be a little pricey but it was delicious! I grew up eating Malaysian delicacies so this, definitely is on my top favourites! The hospitality and service is very good too. The waitresses are lovely and friendly. We come in so often that they remember our preferences. The ambience is lovely with it's traditional setting and feel. My family and I are surprised how under rated this restaurant is. Strongly recommend! And also the Garlic Naan!

First time trying this place and it was excellent. From the great service to the delicious tasting food. Will definitely be back.

Great menu and taste is perfect. The naan bread was fresh and hot and the service was great.

My partner and I dined at 7 spices on Friday night for the first time. The service was good and the food came quickly. The food itself was amazing! We had the lolipop chicken, paneer butter masala, lamb briyani and the dosa. Everything was very delicious. We would definitely be back, it looks like we have found our new favourite restaurant :)

Went here for dinner with a few friends and we all got the buffet. I thought it was a little pricey, but was hoping the food would be worth it. Unfortunately I was left disappointed. The buffet food were average, uninteresting curries and sides such as samosas you would find in the supermarket, and bland butter chicken. I liked the desert options they had- they were the only redeeming feature. Perhaps the options on the a la carte menu are better, but when the prices are this high, I’d rather hedge my bets and go somewhere I know the food is good!

The food is brilliant, so tasty and portions are a good size. The staff are so friendly and make it comfortable to eat there. The decor is amazing and one of the nicest in Perth. This place is amazing.

This place near fails to disappoint good service & food.<br/>Been here a number of times and will be back. The Lamb Rogan josh is one of the best around.

The most beautiful curry I’ve ever had (and i’ve had a lot of curries!), beautiful atmosphere and attentive service. I’ll most definitely be back!

Dined here on few occasions and meals are generally great, very tasty and fresh. My favourite was goat curry, very tender. Staff is helpful and very polite.

Turned up for a quiet Saturday night dinner and opted for the buffet, which consisted of the usual fare except choices were limited and some of the items were not too fresh (samosa’s). Service was ok, however the place looked rather tired.

Atmosphere was cosy and warm despite being very large. The service was absolutely excellent! The meat was tender and curries well seasoned. We got one slightly cold fish cake, but everything else was great so it didn't bother us one bit.

The dosas here are fantastic! Freshly made with a light crisp, and served with coconut chutney and sambar. Have had the Naans as well, they're good but not the best around. Also enjoyed the Fish Malabar and Paneer Butter Masala; both had a rich and creamy sauce, which went really well with our Naan and Briyani Rice. Service is warm & friendly, and food is served promptly. Happy to come back again to try other dishes.

Grabbed a takeaway bitter chicken, cauliflower manchurian, rice and garlic naan. All dishes (especially the vege and naan) were really yummy, very tasty!<br/>Food is priced very well too!

The best Indian I have found in Perth.<br/><br/>Great service, great price. Really good food, not one dish has disappointed.<br/><br/> Everything is a little mild if you are used to spicy, however ask them to spice it up and they will. <br/><br/>Great loyalty card as well.

Came many times to this restaurant. The quality of food and service is always good. Restaurant is nicely setup, neat and clean. Good atmosphere.<br/>Meals are prepared fast and to your preference. <br/>Good job, never disappointed.

Been loyal customers for 2 years now, best eggplant curry I ever ate. I wouldn't recommend the buffet if you like things spicy and authentic - the a la carte menu is way better for that. The fish kolambu curry rocks - proper chunks of mackerel in it, not mushy pieces of unidentifiable fish meat that most other places serve. Highly recommended!

Looking for something different local and have driven past hundreds of times. Got a butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, garlic nann bread and cheese nann and everything was great. Both curries were mild, no real bite to them but there is an option for a hot version. Couldn't stop eating it all and was way too full. Left overs for lunch the next day was epic. Will be back!

Best cheese naan in Perth. The food is fresh and take away is quickly prepared. If you try 7 spices, make sure you'll order a cheese naan as well

Had a lovely chicken korma here. We came in a big group and overall everyone was happy with their meals and they managed to bring out all the meals at the same time. Good amount of food for the price and good service. It's nothing fancy nor is it a basic takeaway place.

Unfortunately terrible take away. Had Butter Chicken and Lamb Rogan Josh.  Dry and overcooked meat and sickly sweet curry.  Rice even dried out.

Great place for a perfect evening gathering...!!!! Fantastic service and food has mouth watering blend of flavours 😊 it feels very homely !

Attended this restaurant with a group of friends on Friday night.<br/>The waiter was very helpful and patient due to the group arriving at various times.<br/>Due to the large group he also assisted with how much food to order, very helpful.<br/>The food itself was nice, pleasant flavours and not over spiced. <br/>I myself had the buffet, which had a decent selection of varying courses. Of which you could have as much or as little as you want.<br/>I do love my Indian food and would recommend a visit to the 7 Spices.<br/>

Well this was the best take away experience ever, I cant't wait to try dining in. Service was excellent and the food was even better !!!! Everthing tasted perfect not to oily and definitely spiced beautifully.

Nice place, pleasant and very accommodating staff and food is good. Not too spicy. When you ask to have your dish cooked mild you will get mild. <br/>

7 Spice Restaurant. Went to this restaurant with some friends. Had the buffet. Food alright. Attention from the staff somewhat lacking when we first arrived. Children from another table were allowed to run around the restaurant next to our table, unfortunately. Went to get some coffee but there was none left. It hadnt been topped up. Left early. Disappointed. Wont be going there again

Great service at this restaurant! Lovely staff make this a great place to visit. We have been many times. All of the dishes are great but the goat curry is our favourite. Will be back again.

It's OK ! Buffet option on.... It's OK ! <br/>Buffet option on a Saturday was just OK - but not hosting the quality or array of food that was noted around the room who ordered from the menu. <br/>With a group of 6 adults trying this venue for the first time you should improve the buffet to increase the chance they may come back! <br/>Not sure that we will be back...

Love this restaurant. We really love going to this restaurant. Staff are really lovely, and we find the food excellent.

First time visit last night. Had a mixed platter for entre - the fish cakes were divine as were the samosas. Had butter chicken & a prawn curry for main - both were SO good. Garlic naan was perfect. Excellent service, very friendly staff! Good selection of reasonably priced wines and beer. Highly recommend to others, we will be back!

All curried out.. Absolutely deliciously spicy curries (and mild, but who cares about the mild, hehe). Great service, great atmosphere, and great food.

Average indian food..... I don't really understand the high rating this place has, because the food and service we received was very average, and on a Saturday night, the restaurant was only half full. The butter chicken was good, but the prawn dish was disappointing, tasteless, imported translucent prawn flesh used, no flavour at all. The rogan josh had tough pieces of meat. The servings were small for the prices charged. The naan bread was luke warm when brought to the table. The water jug at the table was never refilled. Won't be back, as there are so many other indian reataurants in Perth to try.

Tastey Food. The quality of Indian food around the Attadale/Applecross/Palmyra area is top shelf. If you are serving up bad food, then its easy for cliental to move onto the next restaurant. Thankfully, 7 Spices is one place I will continue to go back to. The location, ambience and setting is traditional Indian. Services is extremely friendly, while the food is faultless. We ordered one of each meat and also vegetarian curries, each better than the next. Highly recommend going on a Monday as its not busy and you will get the food quickly. Until next time ... 8/10

Love your Food. Fantastic food. The chilli chicken and the gobi manchurian with the indo-chinese fusion flavours are awesome.<br/>Easily one of our first options when we crave for Indian cuisine.

Awesome food and ambience:). Dosa and chilli chicken was awesome. <br/>Adorable restaurant to go with family.

Brilliant True Flavours.!. Have been in this place a couple of times over the past three years. But yesterdays visit was brilliant. . <br/>Heard the managemnt has changed and so has the flavours and quality.<br/>We tried the chilli chicken and different Biriyanis. We were suprised that every Biriyani had its own flavour not like the others were the mix is the same whether chicken fish or beef. Goat Biriyani was top in the line and chilly chicken ooohh wowww was just to die for. <br/>New chef maintains the true flavours..! Hatts off guys.. I will be back soon.. :)

Great masala dosa and butter chicken - we love this place!

10th Feb - Ordered vindaloo and butter chicken, awesome flavour for both. Nan breads were tasty. Service good - could have been slightly quicker refreshing my beer! Better than most Indians around Perth and price was excellent. Defo book again.

Keerthi. If you're looking for an authentic and delicious Indian meal, great service and ambience, then 7 spices is the place to go.

Great food and atmosphere! The buffet especially was very yummy, and the staff were friendly. Would definitely eat here again.

Same as 20 Years ago:). Went back to this restaurant after 20 years as have since moved to Melbourne. My kids had never tried my favourite which is the very HOT Beef Vindaloo and they loved it! They preferred the cooler Butter chicken but everything was just so tasty and authentic. Prawns beef and chicken were all superb! New owners with hubby as the chef and they have taken over the last 12 months and are really trying hard with friendly and courteous service and they even shared some of their language with us. 'Naandree' which meant thank you was a hit with the kids and I will be going back next time in Perth. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine. Well worth every cent!!!

Was ok. Nothing special. Naan was good but curries very bland. Korma not flavorsome at all. Lamb spinach curry the same. Tandoori was ok. Service was good though. But wouldn't go back. Too many other choices of Indian restaurant that are way better.

Goanna miss 7spices. We had visited the restaurant thrice during our 4 day stay in Perth. Apart from the delicious indian cuisines, we received great warmth in hospitality and true depiction of indian culture. Would recommend to all the people travelling to perth and in search of good authentic indian food.

Best place to go if you are looking for perfect South Indian spice. Very friendly crew .

Great food... Really tasty curries and perfect goat curry I have ever tasted in Perth. Great hospitality.

Very tasty and nice food

Best south Indian food and curries. By far the best briyani and curries I have ever tasted in Perth.Great service too!

Very Poor Tasteless chunks .... Very Poor<br/>Tasteless chunks of meat thrown into the mix halfway through the cooking process. Tried twice. Never again. We feed it to our hungry dog.

Back on Track!. Had a spicy fish curry after a long time in perth. Had a worst experience, when I went a year ago.Now its under new management and its worth for a fine dinner . Good service. calm and pleasant.

Good price for the buffet but the selection was limited. I only liked 2 of the possible 4 main dishes. There were no fish curries at all. Just chicken or veg. The desserts also ran out and were not replenished. Staff didn't seem very interested. The ice cream area was a mess. More care is needed but the quality of the food was ok. Presentation needs work!!

Tasty Indian food? Check. Friendly and helpful staff? Also check. Actually the best chicken tikka masala I've had in perth so far. The restaurant itself is starting to look a little tired and could use a makeover but the food is really excellent. And as we found out, the original owners have returned to this place to try and bring this place back to its former glory, and so far so good!

Gone way down hill. This place used to be great, before they changed management... now this place serves some of the worst indian food (very bland) in Perth and the service isn't much better... not very good service as well, the restaurant is empty most days... not surprised though

Beautiful food. Probably the best Indian restaurant I have been to (and I have been to many).

Such a shame. 7 Spices used to be a hidden gem. Since it has changed hands, I just wish it was hidden. Whereas the vindaloo used to tantalise your taste buds and the buffet actually existed and generously allowed you to get your fill, the dishes are now paltry and flavourless. Very, very disappointing. If anyone knows whether the old owners have opened up a new place, can they please post it up here?

Visited 7 Spices recently, first time since its been under new management and overall really impressed! I've been a long standing customer and am never disappointed. The buffet was lovely, Veg Korma was sensational, and the service was great. The lady who seated and took our orders was really friendly, definitely check it out!

Nice food, friendly and pleasant service, reasonable prices.

Excellent. It was very nice indian retaurant with warm welcome, good Atmosphere, friendly staff, good range of indian crusine, lots of varieties in indian curries and tandoori food with mouth watering "garlic<br/><br/><br/>-----05 Nov, 2012-----<br/><br/>We visited this restaurant with our little one on october 17, 2012 and all we can say is "awesome food and amazing decor and very professional staff"<br/><br/>The staff made sure that we were ok on a regular basis and took every care to explain the ingredients for all the food they served.<br/><br/>The ambience was so calm and relaxing. The food was so tasty and cooked to perfection and the meal size was just perfect.<br/><br/>Being my birthday on the day of visit, I was also given a surprise celebration desert, but the highlight was the personal wish by the head chef Mr Arun.<br/><br/>I would personally recommend this restaurant to all my Aussie and Indian friends too.

Good family celebration. We celebrated a family event in June 2012 and overall it was a great night. Prior to the<br/>event we had discussions with the restaurant regarding our expectations and it was<br/>delivered to our satisfaction.<br/><br/>The food and service was fantastic. The entree and chosen buffet meal for a gathering of over 80<br/>persons was excellent. Our family ensured the restaurant setting with our own table decorations<br/>and decor would up lift the venue for our family event. The night was a great success to all invitees<br/>with a sumptuous meal, fun and dancing (one of the Indian restaurant that has a separate section for<br/>dancing) overall to have great fun).<br/><br/>Would recommend it for important family events.

Very loud but nice food, the noice did ruin our night we couldnt hear unless we were shouting, enjoyable food but to loud to enjoy my bday

Unbelievably bad. The worst curry I have ever had! I spent $70 on takeaway and I would have been better just to feed my nana a can of tuna ! how can you mess up butter chicken so badly ? were the spices 70 years old? did you add any meat to the water ? I am sick and tired of watered down expensive curry in this town!

Good but average. Ate at 7spices for the first time this weekend. The food was pretty average but satisfying. My madras had a very runny sauce and I had to hunt for the meat which was tender but only just. My partner's lamb dish however looked and tasted more interesting. The starters of onion bhaji and vegetable samosas were tasty but not brilliant. However one plus was that the food overall was not greasy as you can get in some Indian restaurants. The decor a little tired, but the service was friendly and prompt. We were there early but within half an hour the place started to fill up with couples and families. We'll probably go there again, however in no hurry.

Friday 8th June. Very empty restaurant so wondering what to expect. Serves small, not that tasty. Thankfully company was good so food did not seem that bad.On website a buffet is offered on Friday and Saturday nights. No buffet when we arrived so disappointed but would have been nice to know this beforehand. I would not return as there are a lot of good indians around better than this place.

Rubbish. To be perfectly honest and blunt, the food was very very average, and I am being very kind here. I am well accustomed to Indian cuisine and thanks to my Anglo Indian background I know enough to know the difference between a good curry and a bad curry, and this was 6 very average dishes between the 6 of us who dined here tonight, evn the entrees were below par. The garlic naan bread was an insult to naan breads andt to the chef who made it. Alarm bells should have rung out when we entered the place, there was another table of 4 people in the whole restuarant, which is rather large by the way and at 2000 hrs on a Friday night any decent Indian restaurant would be pumping, and that wonderful authentic aroma of Indian sides would be tantalizing your nostrils and watering your mouth, those true curry munchers amongst would no what im talking about, not this place. They advertise a choice of buffet or chose from the menu, well tonight we could only choose from the menu. I should leave my details for you curry lovers, I can and often do cook a better curry. I would not bother trying this restuarant. In summary,poor food,they did not serve what is advertised, and overpriced! Probably the worst indiain I've eaten, won't be back. The earlier review under my name was done by my wife, who is being very diplomatic with her review.

Lovely food and great service. Defintely worth trying if you're on the look out for some delicious Indian food :)

We ordered take away tonight and they got it wrong the first time and forgot the mango chutney the second time. Butter chicken was very average.

Worst Indian take Away. Had take away on saturday night and it would be the worst indian take away I have ever had. And i have had lots. Lamb Korma was four pieces of fatty meat in a pool of the runniest sauce ever. Butter chicken was also four pieces of small chicken meat in runny,watered down sauce.

Recentely we went here for a dinner with my friend.we order chicken kulambu and lamb varuval and some other stuff . This two dishes was very yummmmmy. I never ever taste so delicious curry in my life . Good on you guys and we will recomand that food . We will be back !!*****

Recently I attended a wedding anniversary here. The food and service was fantastic. The buffet was yummy. Setting was excellent. We enjoyed the night with full of fun and Dancing (one of the Indian restaurant that has a separate section for dancing) overall had great fun.

Best Crab Curry. When I booked a table at Wednesday, I also asked for a crab curry and when we got it, it was delicious. The kind manager did say that we needed to ask for the crab curry before 4 hours so they get prepared and also its only on mondays to thursdays........ And also really nice food.

Give it a miss. Had been getting take aways occasionally and recently they changed owners. prior it was hit and miss but this time it was a big miss. i thought i would give it a go - worst beef curry i have ever had (being from the sub continent i have had my fair share). the cut of beef was the cheapest around and full of fat and gristle. worst still, why do indian restaurants insist on giving the thinnest and smallest take away containers available - i was getting a curry, not a meal for my toddler......<br/><br/>never going back.............

Recommended by Indian friends so we tried it and were impressed by the quality of the foo notable for fresh ingredients,friendly and very helpful waiters...and BYO

Disappointed - Gone downhill under new management. We have been visiting 7 Spices for about 5 years and decided we would drop in last night to celebrate a special achievement. Unbeknown to us 7 Spices has changed management since our last visit and so things have changed a bit. Many of our favourite and favoured dishes have been removed from the menu and the staff were new. We were greeted quite promptly. Upon ordering we were informed about the new management. We ordered vegetable samosa, prawn korma, pulao rice, paratha and chicken kotthu roti. We were brought some complimentary papadums, which was a nice gesture, had they not been served in a basket that contained the crumbs and grease marks from the last lot of papadums that was served in it. The vegie samosas were nice. We then waited a while for our mains even though we were the only ones in the place. The paratha were dripping with ghee/grease, as was the pulao rice. The korma lacked flavour and was an incipid yellow colour. There was nothing recognisable in the chicken kotthu roti as it was so soaked in ghee. It had no colour variation and left a layer of fat in your mouth that literally left a bad taste in your mouth. Or that could have also been the fact we forked out $65 for our meal and we didn't finish or consume even half of the food we ordered. We were really disappointed to say the least. We have been faithful customers of 7 Spices for many years and we will not returning.

Best buffet. The buffet was great on Saturdays. It shows by full house. The best Tandoori Chicken and sago pudding. Recommend to make a booking not walk in as they are fully booked for Saturdays.

On Friday, we went to 7 Spices Restaurant and it had great variety of food, the mango lassi was fabulous, with good service and mouth watering meals. I recommend everyone to try it. It is actually an Indian Delicacy and it would be an unforgettable day of your life.

James. Best Malaysian Indian food . Good service and cozy .The Chicken Madrasi was great. Keep it up.Will be back

7Spices is food court Indian with no foot traffic to keep the food regularly turning over and fresh. The dall was like slop with no texture, the tandoor dry and flavourless. The only decent thing was the papadams. Maybe I caught them on a bad night?

Watch the bill closely. We have been going to 7 spices for years and recently it looks like management has changed, with it the service, the quality of food and the honesty has certainly gone down the drain.<br/><br/>The 1st time since the new management came through we got some take aways and they had cooked us hte wrong food - which you can give them the benefit of the doubt, but when we rang to inform them they certainly werent keen to listen.<br/><br/>the 2nd time we went there as a group of 8, we had a pretty good meal and paid teh bill and off we went. but when we checked the bill it had 4 bottles of corkage, whereas we only had 2 bottles to start with. I rang and left a message and no one called, a week later I called again and no one got back to me, the 3rd time i was told the manager was away and will return my call....and I am still waiting for the call.<br/><br/>I used to like the food but now its left a bad taste in my mouth, being of Indian origin myself I am very disappointed that this restaurant is exhibiting the same characters that are common in the back streets of India.

Disappointing. Came here on a weekday three years back -it was good, service was attentive and food was memorable. Finally returned with a group of 8 - and found that they served buffet on weekends and thought we would give it a shot. <br/><br/>Food was disappointing and 7 out of 10 tandoori chickens we had were uncooked.<br/><br/>I would point out however that no one was rude to us but we wished we saw more of them for basics like water, clearing plates and reloading the buffet. I'm glad the Management did acknowledge their problem to us (and other customers) and apologized.

Go for the butter chicken!. I don't eat much Indian food as I am wary of getting an upset stomach but this place was really good. A girlfriend and I went to Friday night buffet and I couldn't get enough of the onion bhaji, garlic naan and butter chicken. At around $35 a head it's also a really good price, I definitely recommend it if you are in the area and if not, it is definitely worth the drive!

Fairly good. Pretty good Indian food, not the best in Perth but it's nice enough.<br/>They could definitely do with some help on the interior thought! I think with the surrounding suburbs, the customers would flock if it presented a little nicer.

Tried their buffet on a Saturday night and was dissapointed. Most of the dishes were dried out and lacked any flavour. Perhaps they should try cooking smaller amounts of food at a time and keep refilling when required to maintain some freshness. Found the decor very tired especially the dirty torn carpets as you come up the staircase. I might return and try the ala carte one evening as most urbanspoon diners say its very good.

Love the butter chicken. Had the buffet on a Friday night and really enjoyed every aspect of it... especially the butter chicken.

Dissappointed. Went there for dinner on a Friday night, thought we go there being that its close to home, the restaurant lack the cleanliness that we expected, meal ok we have had better indian food at other restaurants

Great Indian Food. As a connoisseur of indian food, I searched high and low for a restaurant to meet my standards. 7 Spices met them easily on flavour and friendliness! I was worried when I walked up the scruffy stairs and saw the scratchy decor, but was truly amazed at all of the dishes we ordered. My favourite is the chicken tikka or tandoori, the buffet seems very popular too. Book in for the weekends and be careful of the vindaloo - as it says on the menu - its very hot!! Visit 7 Spices as soon as you get chance!

Lovely Indian. Ive had a feed here several times.service is good.order fresh you'll be impressed.buffet and decor is average .

Amazing butter chicken. Always exceptional service and very good value. The buffet is always popular.

Great Food with Tired Decor. Title says it all, always enjoy eating here and you can tell from the near full restaurant every time we go that it is a popular place. I was let down by the Buffet, quality of food is no where near the quality of ordering fresh. Even the manager agrees that Buffets are made to a price. So next time I'll be ordering from the menu.

Great Buffett on Saturday nights. Tired decor but real Indian Food. An oldie but a goodie and been around in Applecross for years now.

Good traditional menu. Beware the stairs up to the dining area. I love the food.
