Spice Deli — Restaurant in London

I have been coming to Spice Deli for many years. The café is located near Finchley Road, which is a busy street — but thanks to Spice Deli, anyone can feel like they’re in a small village, surrounded by local people.

Spice Deli has become like a port for many — a place where people drop in for all sorts of reasons.

I come regularly because the owners, Tarun and Kim, have made this place truly special.

Kim creates the most delicious food, putting her whole heart into both the taste and the presentation. Tarun makes the creamiest oat cortado and the most perfectly frothed iced coffee.

All in all a bit over hyped by the ratings and nothing to bang on about. Very average and expected better!! The best thing were the staff and their...

A unique, warm and lovable place. Fresh, delicious food with fun twists. The most wonderful hosts Tarun and Kim have created a little gem in our lovely neighbourhood Swiss Cottage - and we are very grateful.

Even as you enter you can sense that this is a refreshing place. Whether it is breakfast, brunch or lunch, or the dinner on weekends, the menu is fresh, offering several dishes with little twists on the regular fare. Even the bread they source reveals how interested they are in fresh, quality ingredients and food.

I particularly love their Middle Eastern/ Indian medley for brunch, and their innovative Indian dishes for dinner. The piece de resistance is the rose and...
