The best bits about this meal were : the Maitre de - she was very welcoming and helpful, the starters and desert. We would have preferred it if the spice levels were dialled up to traditional Indian taste buds.

We went to Cafe Spice Namaste for our wedding anniversary. It was a the perfect evening out. We opted for the 8 course tasting menu and we were not a bit disappointment with any of the courses. The food was so tasty and full of flavour without being spicy hot - just perfect flavours. And the cocktails were great too! Cyrus and Pervin both came over to our table several times during the evening which was a lovely touch. The staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely look forward to visiting again and trying other dishes on the menu, whilst we taking in the wonderful views. Once again thank you for making our anniversary so special.

We had a great experience at Cafe Spice. The service was very personal and friendly with recommendations provided on the menu items. Food was delivered quite quickly and more dishes could be ordered as needed. Some items were a little different to the traditional presentation - e.g. chicken tikka was not the typical cubes of chicken in a very orange hue. Cyrus was coordinating things in the kitchen and took time to come and chat with all diners towards the end of the evening.

Was looking forward to coming here after finding out they had reopened. Had previously enjoyed dining there when it was in Aldgate. Unfortunately the place seems to have taken a turn for the worse. The menu is tapas-style now. Dishes are still tasty but some of the higher priced sharing bowls are not even enough for 1 let alone 2. They won’t do a plain naan, only garlic or peshwari. The fact they refused made it feel like the naan is pre-made and not fresh. And the garlic naan is so garlicky it overpowers anything you eat with it. The home made kulfi was the saving grace. Would go back just for that. Parking is a nightmare. You have to park in specific spaces, go inside and get a parking permit, go back out and put it in the car. If those spaces are full and you drove there, you might as well turn around and go home or expect a hefty fine.
