Cafe Spice Namaste

A superb Indian restaurant. The decor hits you in the face the minute you walk in...lots of deep purple and sumptuous fabrics draped from things. Whereas eating in old-fashioned Indian restaurants...flocked wallpaper and pictures in dubious taste...was rather like sitting in someone's badly-decorated sitting room, Cafe Spice is how one imagines a Hollywood director's house might look. The food is equally a million miles from bright orange chicken tikka masala. Service is friendly and attentive, and you can buy jars of the pickles to take home. The outdoor area, the Ginger Garden is open from midday to 9pm, Monday to Friday, weather permitting although there are sufficient heaters. They have also made great efforts to educate customers about how the correct wine can complement and enhance the delicious cuisine and have produced a Wines and Spice Guide which helps guests to choose an appropriate wine...
