The Spice — Restaurant in London

I have been getting takeaways delivered from the spice for about 4 years. Today, after being discharged from hospital I decided to treat myself to a sit down. Something I didn't know they did is a SET PRICE MENU. a choice of starters A choice of curry A choice of rice A choice of naan All for under £14

I had lamb samosas lovely, spicey served with a sauce and salad garnish and wedge of lemon. Mmmm.... excellent size....about 5 or 6 bites. Lamb Madras.....I can't stay away from their madras and Kormas Plus their tikka starters are fantastic.

I had pilau rice with the lamb Madras...and a garlic naan. Really enough for 2 modest eaters. But, I pride myself on being a finisher 🙂

The service is impeccable. I have dined in many, many fancy restaurants all over London, Kuala Lumpur, Australia (all states) and Europe. The gentleman who cared for me (It was more than just taking an order and serving) was quiet, calm, polite, helpful without being over eager. The great Mario Martinelli of the royal garden hotel knew how to be subtle and let you relax whilst your guests gave you all the credit. This gentleman is of that calibre. I do not give out such compliments lightly.

Atmosphere is pleasant, suffuse lighting, comfortable seating no table is too close to another.

Dine in is great. Takeaway has one advantage for the single person such as myself ......in that...I can order enough food to feed 6 and have lots of variety and leftovers for a couple of days .... without looking like a greedy hippo needing 2 tables for all the food he wants to taste.

If I were to rename this place...I would call it "The...

We dropped in with colleagues, expecting a casual dinner—and left feeling like we’d been gently transported to a spice-laced corner of Delhi. The name may be simple, but the flavors are anything but.

From the moment we walked in, the aroma of cardamom and cumin wrapped around us like a soft shawl. The staff were warm and attentive, striking that rare balance between friendly and discreet. We ordered a comforting spread: chicken tikka masala, dal makhani, garlic naan, and a few veggie sides. Everything was well-balanced—rich, but not overwhelming; familiar, yet with a twist.

We've tried many Indian restaurants in London, but this one, near to our place, was an absolute surprise. We couldn't believe that after three years living in this neighbourhood, we never came to this hidden gem before! I'd like to highlight the manu promo, which is just unbelievable. But it wouldn't be fair it's attractiveness is just their prices. Food was incredible. We had the chicken madras and the chicken curry, along with pilau rice and different styles of naan bread (they have a lot). The starters deserve a special mention, bhajis and pakora, the sauce was beautiful and comes with salad. Good selection of beers and cocktail, and they offered us a drink on the house at the ends. Beware that for the special menu is cash only. The rest you can pay by card.

The staff was so kind we are definitely going...
