I just wanted to share my recent experience at 1498 The Spice Affair restaurant that was absolutely incredible! The food was the best Indian cuisine I've ever had, full of authentic flavors and spices. As a bonus, they also offered a free bottle of beer, which made the experience even better! I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. Also the staff are very friendly. Well done guys

This is a hidden gem in Peterborough. The menu contains standard list of favourites from your standard curry house, such as tikka masala, bhuna and madras. But what sets this restaurant apart are the Chefs Specials, Biriyani and Goan dishes. We ate from the set menu. We had a good variety of starters which were all superb. We chose Biriyana, Lamb Buna and Goan Shark Curry as our main. The food was delicious and Ill definitely return to try some of their other curry dishes. It was a quiet night. Im sure on busier nights the score for atmosphere would be higher... but i havent experienced that.

We came here due to the great reviews and it did not dissapoint! We got the mid week menu which was great value, we had a starter a main courses ans 3 side dishes to share. The staff was very friendly and helpful when asked for advice, and we had some typical Goan dishes which were all absolutely delicious- and the right level of spicy for me. It was a little quiet as it was Sunday evening, but the place was very welcoming and the background music was pleasant. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it!

Wow, have just returned from 1498 having had the best Indian meal. The service was attentive and even on a Sunday evening the atmosphere was welcoming. Now for the food. We went for the set menu, starters of venison kofta and king prawn were fantastic, full of flavour and tender. The wifes prawns were the best. Mains, I had green lamb curry which was warming (heat wise), and you can still taste the lamb. Gorgeous. The Mrs had chicken saag which she very much enjoyed but she admitted I did choose more wisely. Even the Bombay Bicycle beer was a good accompanyment to the food. If we return to Perterborough (we are from Kent), we will return to this gem of a place.

Unfortunately no atmosphere, but perhaps 7pm on a bank holiday Monday isn t a fair reflection, the food was decent, it wasn t life changing, but it was tasty. Unfortunately a hair on my naan bread is my lasting memory, one that would have been somewhat different if after alerting the server to the issue they had of perhaps even offered to remove the £3.95 from the bill. Ordered a wine from the rose section, turned out it was actually a white in the wrong section. Wouldn t rush back, don t get me wrong, it wasn t bad, i think the high standard Prevost set in that venue a few years back led me to expect better. What I will say though, it was good value for money, all things considered.

What a gem! We spotted it in the morning (rather tucked away). This was our first visit to Peterborough, & we ended up wanting dinner quite late. We arrived at about 8.15 and were quickly shown to a table, despite the fact that the restaurant was very busy (with several big tables celebrating birthdays et al). The atmosphere was buzzing but also friendly. All the staff were very welcoming. Our order was taken quickly & the poppadoms we requested arrived not long after. All the food was excellent & well presented. The naan bread was fantastic - really light & fluffy. Will definitely come again if were in the area, and cant recommend it highly enough! Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.

Serious eating, a stunning experience, definitely not your average indian restaurant. The whole Goan / Portuguese thing makes for a menu thats both satisfying and exciting. We live a long way away from Peterbrough, but will consider a detour to revisit this restaurant, even if it means overnighting (they dont open until 5pm). Parking: Fine on the street outside if youre a blue badge holder, otherwise an Apcoa carpark a block or two away.

This restaurant is absolutely lovely. Despite being based in the local area, I had not heard of 1498. A friend and I headed here for dinner, based on the great reviews and the appealing menu. Being on Preistgate Road, its easy to get to but I imagine not typically stumbled upon due to lack of footfall. The staff were so welcoming, the venue is beautifully decorated and the Goan-inspired food was absolutely delicious, in reasonably-sized portions. The price is around average in my experience of South-Asian eateries. I forgot to take photos as I was too busy enjoying the food. Will definitely be back!!

The former Prevost restaurant is a lovely place, but the food was underwhelming. The high points included the starters which, though meagre, were tasty enough, and the draft IPA but the low points were the lacklustre mains which, for £17 each, lacked enough of the meat claimed to be the main ingredient, and werent very distinctively spiced. I spent half the meal mopping up sauce with a naan.

A lovely meal at 1498 The Spice Affair. Portions are very fair and after a main, side, and poppadoms I left full and very satisfied! Dietary restrictions: Menu has some clear allergen information, also a helpful server.

The butter chicken and garlic naan were brilliant! The staff makes you feel welcome to the restaurant and they were always happy to help if you have enquiries. I highly recommend this restaurant!

This is a rare all 5 stars for this review, really couldnt fault anything about the meal or service. Was served by Klaudia who was friendly, polite and attentive. The manager was also very friendly too. The food is southern Indian primarily and is an amazing selection including dishes Ive never seen with meats in I wouldnt necessarily expect. The food was exciting fresh and I have to say different, which was good. Everything is beautifully served too, couldnt fault presentation. I ate Kale and Cabbage Pakora starter, Fish curry which is Tilapia, a salad, Pilau rice and a Garlic and chilli naan. Finally, the restaurant is very stylish but inviting, no loud music just background music so people happily talk without shouting. I will definitely be back.
