Cafe Spice Namaste in Tower Hamlets

Indian food for non-indians, no flavour or authenticity, also the server arguing why an authentic Indian tea couldn't be served and gave us English tea instead. Very disappointing ,head to East Ham for good authentic Indian food. Skip this pseudo Indian place. There are many such fraud, overpriced Indian restaurants around.

If you want the real Indian food not the rubbish that is claimed to be Indian food try this place been to India 3 times this is the only place in the UK that serves the real thing and it tastes authentic and amazing. Great tapas concept. Great views over the docks and planes taking off and landing at city airport. Staff are brilliant the chef put a message and signed the recipe book we bought. Can't say anything bad about it go give it a try.

We arrived just as they opened and we were the only diners, this filled us with a tiny bit of trepidation... Our fears were quickly dispelled when the waiter took our order, and served the first dish.... very tasty indeed. The top quality service and the excellent dishes carried on throughout. A great way to spend my gf's birthday... many thanks. She was too nervous to ask for a picture 😂 Cyrus and his wife.... amazing hosts (in fact everyone was).

As a group we went here for dinner. The food was tapas style small sharing dishes. Never seen in an Indian restaurant before. Absolutely amazing food. The lamb cutlets, and Goan curry are sensational. Topped off by the best Pistachio kulfi I've ever had. Amazing experience not to be forgotten.

We attended the Masterclass today. Cyrus is very passionate about providing good quality food. He shared his knowledge with us regarding the dIfferent regions of India and the various spices that are used. A very enjoyable few hours. Both Cyrus and his wife are an excellent team who make you feel very welcome and want to share their passion of Indian food with you. Well worth the trip from Dorset, will definately want to visit again

Amazing food, service, hospitality, location. We had an amazing experience. Will be back for more.

Everything to the superlative + the Todiwala family is greatly welcoming. A real gem in the neighbourhood!

All four of us had a fantastic evening at the Private Dinner with Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala. We are regular diners here so thought we’d try this new experience. It did not disappoint. There were only 12 of us so it was very intimate and relaxed. The food was interesting, varied, plentiful and utterly delicious! Both Cyrus and Pervin were on sparkling form and told us everything we needed to know about the specially designed menu and kept us entertained all evening!! I highly recommend this experience.

Excellent, brilliant food and tremendous service. Thank you particularly for the care and fuss made of two elderly parents.

As expected the food was very good but a complete change to when the restaurant was located in Prescott street. They now operate on what seems to be like a "taster" menu where the portions, while very good , are quite small and you can end up racking up quite a bill at the end without realizing. Excellent service, Mrs T always on hand to check that everything was OK, but actually preferred the ambiance of the old site.

Just awesome Mrs T was so engaging and enthusiastic at what they are doing... We will be back for another tasting menu...

Stunning food! Lovely people! Interesting beers. My third time as a guest and I will be returning very soon. The friend I treated was blown away by the delicious food and friendly staff. We were graced by Pervins welcome and much appreciated help with menu. On the 2 previous occasions we had a few words with Cyrus as well. Can't wait for the next time!

My wife and I were staying at a hotel near London Excel for a mini theatre break. We found this gem. 3 stops on the DLR and a short stroll bought us to Cafe Spice Namaste. Amazing views and brilliant staff, so friendly. The food and the restaurant decor were the stars. Each dish had completely unique flavours. Even the cocktails were fantastic, with Indian twists. We finished with an Indian inspired Creme Brulle and gorgeous homemade ice cream. We both felt we had a wonderful experience, Thank-you Cafe Spice Namaste.

Excellent restaurant run by the celebrated chef Cyrus Todiwala and Pervin Todiwala. The restaurant is spread over two floors and is ideally located on Dock Walk waterfront. The main dining room is large, airy and spacious with great views of the water and distant Canary wharf. The menu is varied and they offer Parsee, Indian and Chinese cuisine. The food is excellent and the service by Cyrus, Pervin and the team is friendly and efficient. We visited for the special Chinese Lunar new year with a curated Indo Chinese 4 course menu. Thanks and special mention to Cyrus who visited our table and many others tables to engage with the diners. The ambience was great and we shall certainly revisit.

They do all the important things excellently. The food is great and there are always changing seasonal dishes on offer. And the service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We've been often and have never been disappointed,

Loved it! Excellent food, excellent staff, friendly chilled out atmosphere.

We asked the waiters for recommendations and they suggested lamb cutlets. They were absolutely amazing. Cooked and flavoured to perfection. Each one of us in our party of six enjoyed them. All the dishes we ordered were great. The cocktails were also very tasty and there’s a good selection of wines. The service was impeccable. I had forgotten my glasses so the waiter actually let me borrow a pair of reading glasses so that I could actually read the menu. The only downside is that it is a little hidden away and there are parking restrictions although the staff will let you know where it is ok to park. Overall a very enjoyable experience. We got to meet Cyrus and his wife so that was a bonus. We would definitely go back. Maybe in the summer and experience outdoor dining.

Beautiful food, lovely staff, definitely will go back. Everything was perfect. They even provided a parking permit , great service

We visited this restaurant for the first time & we will definitely be returning. Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala are perfect hosts & we were made to feel very welcome & the service was excellent. The food was amazing - every course was delicious & so tasty. I don't have enough words to describe how impressed we really were with this restaurant. Cannot wait to return.

Absolutely brilliant! From the moment we arrived and was greeted in person by Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala to the end of the evening, it was a wonderful experience. Food was amazing, tasted phenomenal and was presented beautifully. Service was special and the whole team were friendly and attentive. It was very good value for money and we will certainly be back again soon.

Just had the most amazing evening at Cafe Spice Namaste! The food was fantastic. Cyrus Todiwala and Pervin Todiwala for the culinary delights that left us speechless. And, of course, a big shoutout to the wonderful staff at Cafe Spice Namaste for making it all possible.

This was our first visit to this restaurant & it will not be our last. The food was delicious; amazing flavours & tastes. Cyrus & Pervin Todiwala are perfect hosts & have a great staff crew. We were made to feel welcome & we were fed exceptionally well. This is a restaurant we will return to time & again. Perfect in every way.

Amazing food and outstanding service as always! Love it!

We visited this fabulous restaurant for the first time to attend the Khaadraas Supper club evening. I cannot praise this restaurant highly enough. Cyrus & Pervin Todiwala were both so welcoming & friendly. The food was amazing - beautifully spiced, with no one flavour overpowering the others, just four perfectly balanced & delicious courses. I also enjoyed a couple of cocktails, which were really very good. We have already booked to return. The whole experience was excellent value for money & resulted in a fabulous evening out. Perfect in every way!!

Was wondering if we’d be let in, three ladies with three babies and prams but they were so wonderful and welcoming! We had the nicest time with lots of space and my coffee was re-heated because I couldn’t drink it with a baby in my hands. Such amazing, lovely service!

Absolutely worth making the trip to get to, it’s a wide and varied menu, small plates to share and everything we tried across 6 dishes was excellent, subtly spiced and beautifully cooked. We could (and will) come back multiple times and order a completely different meal.

Visited with my father as part of a weekend away to East London. He had visited their previous establishment near Tower Bridge as part of workplace dinners. Tucked within a modern apartment development on the Thames you cross a small footbridge with views of Greenwich beyond. Once inside there is polished concrete flooring, big windows and a friendly atmosphere, popular music playing above. All staff we encountered were very polite & sincere in their warmth. The menu is not like a conventional Indian restaurant where they have flavours of sauces and you then choose the meat. This menu is almost to be treated like a tasting board, smaller dishes to be sampled and flavours to be mixed & compared. Padpads Chutneys (onion & carrot, fruit chutney, piccalilli, mint) Beetroot & Coconut Samosa Venison Tikka Aflatoon Lamb Samosa Chicken Tikka Peshwari Naan Mango Kulfi Mr Todiwala's Apricot Toffee A very enjoyable taste palate and garnishes adorn each plate we had. Not a scrap left behind and every bite savoured. Their chicken tikka in particular was a marvel in its succulent texture and flavour profile. We also had the joy & pleasure of meeting Cyrus Todiwala OBE and his wife Pervin. A nice, natural interaction between customer & owner let to a sharing of praise & memories of restaurants old. A pleasurable meal to share with my Father & somewhere I'd recommend.

Beautiful food and the warmest and friendliest service! Great value as well. Thank you for looking after us so well, we will be back!

What a fantastic place, always wanted to go when they were in Aldgate and never got chance, so pleased we finally did and a lovely location it is. The front of house staff were wonderful and it was a really pleasurable few hours sent. More expensive, but then far from normal food so worth it... We will definitely be returning...

Went to this restaurant a few weeks ago - sorry for the delay. Fabulous top quality food and wonderful service. We both had the taster menu and every course was delicious. A truly memorable experience and worth the journey. We used the tube and Elizabeth Line - easy.

Simply superb! The food was delicious (as always) and the whole evening one to remember.

We had a wonderful evening. Food was excellent and as Valentines night had a live singer which was really good. The owners are always checking on customers which is a really nice touch. Will be back again

Absolutely fabulous meal. Had the taster menu and everything was exceptional. Each dish was different and a great way to sample Cyrus’s undeniable talent.

Amazing food, cocktails and service. Probably the best Indian restaurant in London.

Superb food, helpful staff, beautiful setting. Memorable experience!

Fantastic food, brilliant service and beautiful setting, would highly recommend and can’t wait return

Loved the style and portion size of the dishes. An Indian food adventure!

Outstanding food, innovative dishes. Great service, lovely to see Cyrus and Pervin in the restaurant. Cannot recommend enough, check out their special event evenings.

The most amazing restaurant! So authentic, there is nothing else to say about the chef/owner and wife other than absolutely genuine and generous souls!

Just something like: We had a lovely special anniversary meal here. Everything from the service to the food was incredible. We felt very well looked after and are already planning another visit. Thank you so much to everyone at Cafe Spice Namaste for making us feel so welcome!

We had a wonderful meal last night at Cafe Spice Namaste. The food and service as usual was excellent. It never disappoints! It is always our go to restaurant to celebrate special occasions and we look forward to returning soon.

Quite simply put, amazing in every way, took my mum for her 70th birthday and it totally made her day, from the staff so welcoming to the most delicious food ever…first time I have had Indian food and not one single grain of rice was eaten and was not missed either. Oh did I mention the view of the docks?!?!? Stunning location. Will be back in a heartbeat, this is definitely a must visit for any fan of Indian cuisine

Such a lovely welcome from the staff at Cafe Spice and a superb meal served to us by their talented chefs!

Fabulous warm welcome at this lovely restaurant. Fabulous food, Pervin recommended several small plates all of which were delicious. I don't often write reviews but feel I had to as our visit was a real treat, made so by the warm welcome and fabulous food. Thank you. :-)

Visited Cafe Spice Namaste - what a treat. Pervin was so welcoming and helpful, recommending a selection of ansolutely delisious small plates. Cyrus also introduced himself to us which was lovely as I am a BIG fan. Such an amazing welcome and one not often experienced when eating out. Food was excellent. Would definitely recommend as it was fabulous. :-)

My husband and I visited Cafe Spice Namasté after seeing Cyrus cook on Saturday Kitchen. We choice the tasting menu so we could sample a variety of dishes. They were all beautifully presented and tasted amazing. His wife discussed our food preferences and he cooked the best fish and chicken curry dishes that I have ever tasted. The service we received was second to none and we will most definitely return when we visit London.

The staff, especially the owner's wife, were very welcoming. The food was really delicious and flavoursome. Would definitely go back again, despite the restaurant location.

This place is a gem. The food is spectacular, and the passion and care that encompasses each dish is palpable when speaking to the owners, who were on the restaurant floor, engaging with their team and guests. There is a real family feel to this place, but the quality of decor, food, and service at no point is compromised. We shared dishes such as the lamb cutlets, the samosa chaat, peppered beef tikka, chilli cheese naan, and parathas. Also, the parsee lamb dansak (pictured) is divine. Each mouthful was as delectable as the next. A must visit restaurant if in London. Our party was 18 people, and the experience was that of being a much smaller party. That takes experience and effort to achieve this level of service. 5⭐️

Outstanding cuisine - brilliant flavours incorporating Goan, Parsi and Keralan influences. Chef Todywalla is a master of his craft. Service is excellent with Mrs. Todywalla ensuring no stone is left unturned for the comfort of all the guests and diners there. A truly remarkable experience. Lucky to have this gem on our doorstep in South East London. Thank you for making this special occasion even more special.

I saw Cyrus on Saturday Morning kitchen and was impressed with his cooking but also how humble he was; this came over on the television. Booked this as a gift for my husband. We had the taster menu and nothing disappointed. The warmth of both Cyrus and his wife was nothing like we have experienced before. We will return. Thank you for making it an evening to remember.

Cyrus & Pervin are the most attentive hosts...the food was amazing and the attention to detail was outstanding... Cyrus and Pervin checked on every table individually to make sure everything was perfect...we are definitely coming back for more...thank you for making our anniversary extra special...I am so glad we chose Cafe Spice Namaste !!

Another excellent Khaadraas Greedy Pigs Supper. Good to see old faces and new faces. I highly recommend this restaurant. Such good and interesting food. Lovely location and brilliant service.

It is always a pleasure and a privilege to be in this lovely place. Thank you all

Excellent food, drink and the service was exceptional. Really worth travelling slightly out of the centre for the fantastic food. Small dishes, similar to tapas, but Indian themed ( with hints of China!) wonderful flavour combinations.

Definitely my new favorite place ! Thank you for this unique gastronomic experience : You put so much love in your cooking.

We love this restaurant and it was good as ever this time. Thank you. You have everything just right.

Great food, different from traditional Indian restaurants. Quirky location, attentive staff, what's not to like?

Great food and delightful hospitality. Great menu. The beef tikka was out of this world

We had a wonderful night. Great staff, fabulous good value food and exceptional hosts. Thank you

It’s a hidden gem dock side restaurant. Fabulous experience mouthwatering food. The food was delicious flavours were vibrant and dishes were expertly prepared. The cozy atmosphere added to the overall experience. Service was friendly and prompt, making our meal truly enjoyable. I highly recommend ‘Cafe Spice Namaste' for a delightful culinary adventure!"

The best Indian meal I have ever eaten - and I lived in Asia for 20 years. Fantastic food. I will return.

Just really high quality food. The venison was sublime.

Exquisite food on an outstanding level The ambience was perfect Cyrus & Previn we’re the perfect hosts as were all the staff We’ll definitely be back!!

Delicious, tasty food to be savoured. Friendly and helpful advice from the excellent staff. It was a little cold in the restaurant but it was also a very cold night out. Café Spice Namasté is certainly worth visiting.

This is not your typical Indian restaurant. Everything is cooked to perfection with attention to detail you would expect from an establishment of this calibre. Was virtually as far east as you can get on the DLR but worth the travel. Will definitely return

Excellent food- beautiful spices used - an overall lovely eating experience

Just great service and super yummy food Brilliant

We have been regular visitors to Cafe Spice Namaste at the Prescott Street location and this was the first time at the Galeons Reach restaurant. We were not disappointed, the food quality was excellent. We particularly like the tapas style format and were impressed with how well the kitchen catered for my daughter who is a coeliac sufferer and therefore cannot have gluten. We cannot wait to return and sample more of the dishes on the menu.

The food was exquisite and the service was second to none. Pervin and Cyrus were so welcoming and we left our menu choice up to them. It was my dad’s birthday and they really made him feel so special. Can’t wait to go back!

This restaurant is becoming one of our go-to regular restaurants. The food is absolutely outstanding and, for a restaurant owned by a 'celebrity chef', the welcome is homely and unpretentious. Mr & Mrs Todiwala are fantastic, always welcoming, and circulating through each table regularly to ensure everything is perfect. The food is cooked to order and mainly comprises of a mix of smaller dishes with plenty of variety. The hosts are honest with how much to order and readily willing to offer advice on selection. Yes, it is a bit of a trek to get to the restaurant but it is worth it as the location is beautiful, set by the waterfront where you can watch the aircraft arriving and departing from City Airport (as well as the ducks, geese etc. in the water). Price wise, at approx. £50 per head including drinks, this is very reasonable for such a high quality of restaurant in London. The area is currently going through regeneration so I strongly recommend going to this hidden gem before the area and the restaurant gets very busy!

Once again, we have just had the most amazing, delicious beautifully spiced food courtesy of Cafe Spice Namaste. Cafe Spice Namaste has never disappointed, from the original days near Tower Bridge to the new location near Gallion’s Reach. Pervin is the most wonderful hostess supported by her team and Cyrus and his team produce top notch modern, tasty interesting cuisine. Yes, the restaurant is a little out of the centre of town, but when the food is this good a few stops on the DLR are worth it!

Had a lovely meal with my parents at Cafe Spice. The food was delicious, packed with flavour and a unique experience of sharing our dishes, tasting a bit of everything. Staff were extremely friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. Will definitely be coming back and bringing some friends. Couldn’t recommend more if you’re looking for a different Indian cuisine experience.

Cafe Spice Namaste is one of the best Indian Restaurants in London. It's been around for almost 30 years. Themlocation is beautiful, surrounded by water on all sides. Service is always amazingly warm and friendly. I had Beef Chilli Fry awoth Kerala Parantha which was very delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Just the most amazing food and service . Chef and his wife come out and speak to us all. We went for tasting menu so able to taste huge variety of the food they do . Such a treat .

Loved our experience from start to finish,the welcome and service was second to none,even got to meet the man him self and also his lovely warm and welcoming wife,food and drinks were on point and I would say great value for money,will be returning soon.Thank you for a great time.

We booked this table as it's near a relative's house in London's Docklands and we knew of Cyrus' reputation from TV. I have to say the experience was outstanding. As we went in the period between Christmas and New Year it was quiet but we were amazed it wasn't full. It should be! This is better than a 'neighbourhood gem' and is a destination restaurant. The food, served in a contemporary fashion mostly on small plates, is refined and seriously delicious with real balance. Inventive cookery means that you build slowly towards satisfaction, rather than being stuffed early on. Delicious duck and venison dishes pair with classics such as a very tasty Biryani and the most delicious breads I've perhaps ever tasted. I finished with a mango lassi and my partner and cousin shared a house made kulfi. We were welcomed warmly at the door and our table by Mr and Mrs Todiwala, who are obviously lovely people. I cannot wait to return.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Michelin guide Indian restaurant and I must say, it was an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights of my dining experience was the tapas style menu. It allowed me to try a variety of dishes and flavours without feeling overwhelmed. The lamb chop was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with just the right amount of spices. The beetroot and coconut samosa was a delightful surprise, with a crispy exterior and a flavourful filling. The lamb dhansak was another standout dish, with its rich and aromatic sauce. I also had the pleasure of trying the papaya salad, which was a refreshing and light option. The combination of flavors and textures in the beef fry with paratha was simply divine. The dish was packed with bold spices and the paratha was perfectly flaky. For dessert, I indulged in the crème brûlée and the apple crumble samosa. The crème brûlée had a perfectly caramelized top and a creamy custard underneath. The apple crumble samosa was a unique twist on a classic dessert, with a crispy samosa shell filled with warm apple filling and topped with a crunchy crumble. The selection of wine at the restaurant was impressive. The sommelier was knowledgeable and helped me choose the perfect wine to complement my meal. The wine list had a great variety, catering to different tastes and preferences. The customer service at the restaurant was top-notch. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were always ready to answer any questions and provide recommendations. The waitstaff ensured that my dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. Chef Todiwala and his wife Pervin create a welcoming ambiance at their restaurant, enhancing the dining experience. After savoring my meal, I couldn't resist buying a selection of the chef's pickles, chutneys, and spice mixes to enjoy the delightful flavors they add to every dish. Overall, my experience at the Michelin guide Indian restaurant was exceptional. The tapas style menu allowed me to explore a variety of flavors, the selection of wine was impressive, and the customer service was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Phenomenal food, outstanding service. Was made to feel very welcome on arriving and the atmosphere was personable throughout. Visited for a Christmas treat (& a belated 40th) having travelled down it was akin to meeting for family get together such was the friendliness. The airport nearby provided a nice backdrop

We had the monthly Khaadrass Club menu yesterday - a totally different experience. We had such fun and met a whole bunch of regulars. That itself bodes well if people are coming back time after time to the Royal Albert Wharf (amazing water views from every table). Each dish was wholly flavoursome. Cyrus and his wife Pervin are great hosts. Totally worth the visit for the occasion and the food!

Another outstanding supper club with Mr and Mrs Todiwala being the perfect hosts. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared and presented. And many thanks for going off-piste for a pescatarian and making me a delicious prawn carry rather than the lamb main course. And the rich fruit cake with the desert – oh wow, that really was amazing. Also loved getting to know the other three couples to the table. Can't wait for next time!

Such an amazing night. Lovely food and company. Felt part of a family, everyone was so hospitable.

Amazing! We went for one of Spice Namaste's Khaadraas evenings, it was amazing - you can tell that a huge amount of care and experience went into the preparation. Each dish was absolutely delicious and perfectly spiced. Cyrus Todiwala and his wife are great hosts, talking us though each dish and generally chatting with all the guests. Yes, it's not cheap, but at around £50 a head for a four course meal prepared by the best I reckon it's pretty good value.

Went as a group of four last night. Great food, lovely owners that reviewed the menu with us and great value! We shared the dishes so we could sample the menu and some of our favourites were the prawn curry, chicken biryani, lamb dhansak, chilli cheese naan and the outstanding pistachio kulfi. Higly recommend adding this restaurant to your London eating!

I ate here on 20th December with some family. We had 8 main dishes and shared them all, the chilli cheese toast, goan prawn curry and chicken cashew curry were absolute stand out dishes as well as the pistachio kulfi for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious and of the highest quality. The service is fantastic and we were well looked after. Can't wait to come back and try different dishes!

I can’t remember eating a meal more delicious. Chef Cyrus Todiwala and his wife Previn, and their team are welcoming, attentive and happy to explain the menu, so don’t be afraid to ask. This is Indian tapas which means you get to eat, share and enjoy multiple dishes. And believe me, you’ll want to try as many as you can. I loved the lamb cutlets, the five cheese chili toast, the roast chicken cafreal zambeziana (my favourite - Marinated chicken on pressed potatoes), flaky buttery parathas, goan prawn curry and the ultimate dessert, apple crumble samosa! The restaurant is informal, airy and beautifully decorated. The location is on the river at Gallions Reach, which is easy to get to on the DLR. It’s well worth the trip, and feels like an adventure but one I would be happy to take again and again for a meal at Cafe Spice Namaste.

Food was overpriced for small portions. Service was okay. Gave a tip to our waitress and that got taken off her by management.

The best Indian restaurant in London in my opinion with the most beautiful hospitality of the owners Chef Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala.

As regular visitors to Cafe Spice over many years, our meal was excellent and although we've never had a bad meal, the food was exquisite. The service was well up to its usual high standard; Cyrus and Pervin's restaurant never fails to meet the same high standards we receive each visit. We are amazed that that we rarely see reviews by food critics: it's about time their absence is rectified so that this gem of a restaurant gets tha accolades it deserves!

Simply amazing food as always, a lovely joyous experience.

Originally booked for dinner but an offer of tickets for the Royal Albert Hall was too good to miss. I was delighted that we could amend our booking at such short notice to make it a lunch date. We chose 4 dishes between the 2 of us and each was beautifully presented & rich in flavour. The smell of Indian spices, the great soundtrack playing as we looked out across the water as the planes came in to land overhead made it a great experience. Worth the journey!

As always the food was delicious, reasonably priced, great service and a wonderful experience. This place is a gem and I can't recommend it enough.

It was my first time at the new location and it was better than previous dining experiences at Cafe Spice Namaste. The staff were great, the menu filled with things I hadn't had prior and each dish was fantastic! It was my girlfriends birthday and they even gave us some complimentary Champagne. The Garlic Chilli and Ginger Prawn balls were exceptionally good. I had accounted for the bill to be quite large and was pleasantly surprised it was a good deal under my estimation. We will go back again, thank you.

Managed to get a reservation on a themed night, We wern't part of the special club who were told about the food that had been prepared for them, but was able to order from the set menu. Food was tasty and the ambience was good even though it was raining terribly outside. Inside the atmosphere was warm and delightful

The restaurant is difficult to find in London Docklands on a dark, wintry night. Parking is difficult but the restaurant has several reserved spaces across a bridge. Collect a permit from the restaurant otherwise risk a £100 fine. It’s dark and remote out on the dockside. No bars or vibe around the area. The restaurant is an attractive box of metal and glass. We were welcomed pleasantly and seated by a window. It was very cold. The menu is large and varied with mostly small plates - Indian tapas. My husband had to move the car to a designated parking space, with a restaurant permit. When he returned he said it felt even colder inside the restaurant. We asked to be moved but, to be honest, the whole restaurant was freezing. Customers were sitting with hats and coats on and one local customer said to my husband, “it’s f…….g freezing in here”. The head waiter tried adjusting the air-con unit with no luck. He then produced a small industrial heater, which didn’t really work properly. We were still cold. However, the food was superb. We tried all the specials (tapas plates) - all absolutely delicious. We then had lamb dhansak with Keralan potatoes. Yummy. With a bottle of wine and tap water, our bill was £118, including service charge. So definitely not cheap and enough profit to put the heating on. We would give 10/10 for the food. 9/10 for the service. But only 5/10 for the overall experience given the difficulty of finding the place, the draconian parking restrictions and the freezing cold environment. We said we’d return on a warm and light summer’s day but we wouldn’t return during the winter. Brrrrrf.

Difficult to find Must get a permit from restaurant to park Cold and dark surroundings Freezing cold inside the restaurant Helpful service - trying their best with the heating Excellent food Food 10/10 Overall experience 6/10 Difficult to enjoy while being so cold Will return in the summer

We visited for the tasting menu on a cold Thursday evening in November so not surprisingly, there was a limited clientele in the restaurant and by the end of the evening, we were the only diners (before 9.00). The food was very good, as was the service, but the restaurant was very chilly indeed and not conducive to a relaxing evening. The 8 courses also came very quickly one after another - suggesting the staff were keen to close the restaurant and get home - and there was little "wow factor" in the food. All very pleasant and very well presented but not spectacular, as we would expect from a £70 menu.
