I've just eaten a curry made with the Goan Green spice base with extras added. It was delicious. The young man selling the spices in Fenwicks Newcastle upon Tyne was very helpful. I'll definitely be buying these curry spices again.

Fabulous company

Fabulous company! Their in-store pop ups are great and the staff are syper friendly and helpful. Unfortunately there are none local to me so I mostly order online but the curry kits are great and there's so much variety. The ability to choose your own spice level is a nice touch too and lets you try things you might otherwise avoid!

Thank you Samantha for taking the time to leave such a lovely review on our online and in-store experience. I've passed your review onto our teams, I know they'll really appreciate this feedback, especially during this busy time of year 🎅🏼 It's a shame you haven't got a Rafi's closer to you, but if you know of any farm shop, delis or butchers near you, we could try get some of our trade Curry Packs within reach. We hope you have a lovely day!

Raffi's boxed - No thanks

We used to buy Raffi's in York whereby your choice is bagged fresh - it was a regular purchase for us and the meals were very tasty...fast forward a year or so and we have moved not far from York and therefore have to buy from a local.shop and initially the curries came in the bags as normal however they have recently moved to boxing the bags with a msssive price increase.. gave a box pack a go at the weekend and sad to say its no where near the quality and the fact they have increased the price is really disappointing..

Good afternoon Chris, I'm sorry to hear that you weren't happy with your recent Curry Pack. Unfortunately, we cannot control the price set by our stockists. We do have our website for ordering online which has our full range of Curry Packs at our prices. If you'd like to let us know more about your experience with the Curry Pack that you had, we'd be happy to help and try to resolve this issue. We look forward to hearing from you - Danielle.

Very very good Indian food, (cury)

Rafis are fabulous giving you an authentic flavoursome quality curry. They put the spices together for you, you choose how hot or mild, along with flavours, all I have to do is add meat or vegetables perhaps a tin of Toms and an onion, they say ready in half hour but if you really want the flavours to flood out leave in oven on slow cook for a coupe of hours. Fabulous.
Thanks Rafis.

Highly recommended! 🙂

Discovered Rafi's a few years ago after a recommendation but wish I'd discovered them sooner. Delicious curry mixes and excellent online service too! Highly recommended. 🙂

SPICE OF LIFE

We have purchased from Rafi's Spicebox from Kirkgate Market in Leeds ( my home town) and always liked the extensive range and advice provided, in order to conjure up some lovely Indian meals.
We now live off shore and so it was great to know, we are still able to order online. We placed a recent order, which has arrived very promptly, especially considering the Covid-19 issues.
The packaging was very professional and all the products arrived in good order. Not only that the prices are always good value for money.
