Spice Guru Take Away

The Spice guru has only been open for a few weeks, but in that time, it has gained a great reputation and already has received 5 star for hygiene rating.

The chef is Shab Uddin who has made quite a name for himself locally with his wonderful cooking, Shab has spent the last 6 years living and working in Wadebridge. For the last 14 years, he has been cooking throughout the UK gaining experience and ideas with Indian cuisine. His is synonymous with some of the best Indian food around.

He started in Holland in 1997 and learnt a lot about spices and how to use them. In 1998, he came to the UK working in and around London. At the end of 1998 he came to Cornwall and fell in love with the county, so much so, he kept coming back. "Its not hard to love this area" he say's. "The mix of coast and county is stunning and I just couldn't keep away. "

Shab had always talked about having a take away in Wadebridge and now runs one with his nephew Syed Masud ( Mo ) who is the manager. They have been working together in the restaurant trade for many years. "Mo is equally smitten with wadebridge, " adds Shab. Shab's passion for food comes seeing others enjoy his cooking. "I want people to love the food I cook. I serve a wide ranging menu including traditional Indian dishes, vegetarian, duck, a wide range of fish and lots of unusual dishes that you probably won't have found in Cornwall before. "

"All our dishes are cooked medium but most dishes can be prepared to desired hotness. Our Afgani lamb is medium and truly delicious. It uses double strength tamarind sauce and soya sauce and other secret ingredients! " what are the secret ingredients that make it so special? "you'll have to come in and try it yourself! "

The Spice guru is certainly not your usual take away - fabulous food, great decoration and a wonderful, warm welcome. Just walking in and breathing in the mix of smells coming from the kitchen is a real treat and a promise of the delights that await their customers.
