Le Spice — Restaurant in Epping Forest

This restaurant is located in a refurbished upstairs flat. It’s unclear that you have to walk into the ally to get upstairs. There is parking behind the shops and also a car park.

We certainly was not socially distanced between tables and we felt quiet uncomfortable here. Although, they did have hand sanitiser on site and were completing track and trace forms.

Indian is one of our favourite take always but the starters of onion barjji and meat samosas here were my least favourite. They were small and didn’t taste right. The cucumber wasn’t fresh and was more bending than crunchy.
