The store initially attracted customers with the promise of membership discounts on swap of each purchase, a policy that was enticing at the outset. However, this offer became inactive after just a few weeks, leading to disappointment and frustration among customers. The sudden discontinuation of such benefits without clear communication or justification can be seen as unfair and disheartening, significantly tarnishing the shopping experience.

Heard nothing but good review, but fairly disappointed. Food was okay, lacking spices and small portions. Staff were friendly and decco nice.

In the past Bowburn had one of the best Indian restaurants in Durham. It went downhill and I was so hopeful that things would be better now it was under new management, but it is no better. The first issue I had with the tandoori chicken. The taste of the spices was so subtle it was almost non-existent. Not a great start. Main courses were also severely lacking in spice. Is the squeeze so bad that you need to cut back on spices? Chicken wasn't cooked into the main dishes. While I understand that meat will be cooked in advance, I should be able to taste the sauce in the chicken. This sort of lazy cooking is something that should be avoided. The coconut rice was boiled rice with dessicated coconut sprinkled on top. Again, very lazy cooking, The saving grace was the poppadoms and naan bread, hence why you avoided a one-star review. It's such a shame, and it left us severely disappointed. Won't be going back unless they greatly improve.

Service needs changing with the young short brown haired girl that works there. Every time she is working at my girlfriend goes in she does nothing but make her feel uncomfortable watching her talking to other colleagues on her headset about her. I?ve been in the store with her a few times also never happens when she?s not in but I?ve seen it happen also she is rude I smile and say hello but she just looks at us up and down and says nothing.This is my local co op yo where I live and now due to this we have to go to the coxhoe store if we need anything as my girlfriend suffers from anxiety and doesn?t want to enter the store incase she is working.Somthing needs to be said or done cause this is simply not fair.

I visited Bowburn Spice for the first time tonight to have a take away. There is a lovely restaurant as well as the take away service. The prices are very reasonable and the food is exceptional. Fresh onion bhajis not greasy and nice and crisp, pilau rice which was well spiced and the rice well separated, tarkha daal which was just as I remembered it from my travels in India and Nepal and Chicken Jalfrezi. Nice flavours and spicy too! They do local deliveries too. I will definitely be back, maybe to dine in next time.

If you like Indian food and great service, this place is a must visit! On passing you may be forgiven in thinking it's just a takeaway but it's actually a lovely, clean and smart restaurant situated just over the road from the CO-OP in Bowburn. The food is delicious and plentiful with the best naan bread you could wish for. We went on a Wednesday which currently gives you a banquet option: choice of starter, main course with rice, naan plus a side for two to share and all for £16.50pp. But, what makes this place doubly appealing is the fact that you can bring your own alcohol - they'll even supply the glasses! It's a concept very popular around West Yorkshire which I think deserves to catch on in our area too. They do sell soft drinks but we chose to bring a bottle of wine to share (as did our friends) which, lets face it, saved us a small fortune! Go on, give it a try - you'll like it a lot! We'll be back.

Handy shop which is large enough to have most things you would need.
