Spice Up in Richmond upon Thames

Amazing curries. Stunning butter chicken.

A very nice restaurant , came with very high recommendation from friends and neighbours, very good service , the food was excellent lovely fresh tasting flavours and very good value also shall definitely come again ,the staff were excellent thank you for a lovely evening

Just got back from dining at this restaurant and we had a blast and the food was so delicious! Probably the best in a five mile radius!!

Lovely meal and very good service. Thank you

I recently dined at Spice-up and was thoroughly impressed. The ambience was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal. The menu featured a delightful range of dishes, each bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring a pleasant experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience!

We had a lovely welcome and good advice about what would be nice to eat. The food was very tasty. The only reason we didn't give all 5 stars was because we had quite a long wait for food, but that might have been because it was cooked freshly for us! Would definitely return.

Everything really tasty as usual, aubergine potatoes the standout this time

These photos do not do justice to the incredibly delicious food served at Spice Up. Having tasted a fair amount of Indian food in Twickenham including T’saretta Spice and Shiuli, I can definitely say the food here is the best in Twickenham and the best value too. The faves are all there, onion bhajis, samosas and Butter chicken, but also lots of very special dishes. Make sure you try the gol gappas and aubergine curry. Lovely family vibe here. Take your kids, they will love the food too.

Wow. The food here is delicious. Very authentic and so reasonable. Honestly the best onion bhaji I have ever had, great service , lovely atmosphere and good is superb!

Sheetal catered for us on a family party the food was amazing and enjoyed by all our guests. Will certainly be calling again in the future. Padraig and Finola

It took about 2 hours from arriving to getting mains. We complained twice about the time and it still took that inordinate amount of time to get the food, I wouldn't have minded if it were busy but there 4 groups of customers inside so it shouldn't have been difficult to cater for that in a timely fashion. And even when the food came out it wasn't worth the wait. It was fairly bland.

We thought we would give this place a try as it made a difference to our usual curry house. The restaurant had little atmosphere, there was no music playing and it left awkward silences. The staff didn’t seem comfortable in the job they were doing. We ended up waiting nearly 2 hours for our food to arrive after ordering. When the food arrived it wasn’t anything to write home about. A decent curry but certainly not worth the wait. A very disappointing outing.

Spice Up is one of the finest family-owned dinner spots I've been to. The food is delicious. No matter what spice level you request, it doesn't compromise on flavour - which more often than not, other restaurants struggle with. I went there with a large group of people, and we ordered so much food that I cannot recall every individual dish to share in this review. We had the chaat, tried a bunch of different curries and biryanis too. The venue has a delightful ambience, great for both, a cozy dinner or a larger gathering. I hosted a dinner party to surprise a friend on his birthday, and the service I received there was unmatched! So full of heart. They supported me with coordination, and really went the extra mile by setting up the tables with a celebrative touch. Cheers to the Spice Up Team! If you're wondering where to eat tonight, don't think twice! Please go to Spice Up, you'll have a wonderful time.

Rude, Unprofessional Staff. I simply wanted to talk to the manager today and I was rudly told "why do you want to know" multiple times, as if talking to a manager is a crime. So the woman did not let me and hung up the phone on me. I called again and got declined multiple times with a bunch of attitude and in the end after telling her the same thing that i wanted to talk about a work inquiry that does not involve her since she is only a member of staff, it involves the manager, she would never listen. I don't know who she thinks she is but the manager should get rid of her asap. IF SHE was the manager then she is crazy, and has serious problems. All proof can be provided via call

This was my 2nd visit. Both times the food and service have been amazing. Very family friendly 😋

Such a lovely, relaxing restaurant. The food was amazing and the staff are so friendly. A real family friendly environment, I had my 3 year old with us and they were so lovely and accommodating.

Lovely staff and food. Very authentic and tasty Indian food with a great atmosphere.

Amazing food!!!! Really authentic, great taste!!!

The restaurant is the most authentic Indian food I have had in the uk. The menu is diverse and accommodating of dietary restrictions. the lighting arrangement is beautiful, the decor indoors is colourful and happy. staff are welcoming and warm, overall 10/10 experience, must visit.

Authentic flavors, impeccable service and a cozy ambiance make “Spice Up” a standout in Indian cuisine. We had paneer tikka, aloo kachori, paneer saag and paratha-each of them was a delight for the senses. A must-visit for anyone craving a taste of India.

Was very disappointed with the meals as had such good reviews. We had chicken kahari and prawn masala. Both meals were tasteless.

Really glad I found this restaurant. I ordered the chicken biryani which came with raita and the vegetable samosas, the food was delicious. The atmosphere was really good too, friendly helpful staff. I look forward to visiting again.

I had the special Thali and it was incredible! I highly recommend this place. Delicious food and great service. Faultless!

Beautiful authentic Indian cuisine, cooked by traditional methods and served with precision and care. Would highly recommend if you like trying new food

Such a lovely experience, great value for money and brilliant service. Will be back!

My friends and I had a lovely evening here. I ordered the vegan special which came as a lovely tray with a variety of delicious flavours and foods. Great portion sizes and friendly staff. I will definitely be coming here again. Thank you

Enjoyed a fun dinner with friends last night. We friendly service and the food delicious and beautifully presented. I had the vegan set menu really good portions. Easy to park on the main road. We will be back!

Excellent food and great service. We will definitely eat there again.

Another great meal. Food really good. Our party of seven had a bit of everything. Special shout out to the lamb curry and also the butter chicken biryani.

Lovely food but small portions unfortunately

Amazing experience for dinner. Definitely recommend.

Fabulous favours superb portions. One of the best Indian food experiences in London. We feel so lucky that they are close to us.

I had dinner here with a large group of colleagues in December -- we had a fantastic time. We had had takeaway food a couple of times but this was our first time sitting in. The service was incredibly attentive and the atmosphere was perfect for us! Then came the food; I had a fish biriyani and stuffed paratha for my main (we shared things for a starter) and wow... wow! The fish was perfect and the spice level was brilliant and had such depth. I look forward to visiting again very soon, definitely a new favourite!

Amazing family dinner. Loved the food and the service. My kids really enjoyed the night 🤩

We recently had a meal with family here (and have been a couple of times for some samosa take aways!) the staff are always friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the food, mango salad and chaats were refreshing, tasty and nicely spiced. Will definitely be going back to try more dishes. Thank you and see you soon!

Had a meal about a week ago .. no question the meal was very tasty well seasoned left a good impression having travelled quite a long way …the execution of dishes …the ingredients sing for themselves …it’s a great pity …unfortunately we found the service to be extremely slow …from a professional kitchen ..I believe due to staffing issues although there were not many customers when we visited and found the lighting inside to be too dim …from a constructive viewpoint …sincerely hope the owner can change things to resolve this issue so the establishment can prosper and establish and maintain a good service level customers expect of other eating establishments….🙏

Amazing, we had a fantastic meal this evening. The food was one of the best Indian meals I’ve had, top quality, really tasty and flavoursome. I loved the onion bhajis. The restaurant is welcoming & the staff really friendly. We can’t wait to come back 😊

Delicious food! Tasty and unusual dips haven't tried anywhere before. Friendly service and a very welcoming owner. Excellent choice.

Hired Spice Up's catering service for a private event on Twickenham Riverside - was absolutely fantastic! Everyone commented on how good the food and service was. Thank you Sheetal and your team 🙂

Absolutely loved it but find the price a bit punchy Same price as a local michelin star restaurant. Just my opinion. Just lower slightly and may attract more

Amazing food.....butter chicken to die for. Great service. Will definitely be back.

There were missing items from my order, food was good and very tasty but very pricey with very small portions - 1 naan was cut in half and charge for 2 portions. I thought it was dishonest.

Amazing place and deserves to be busier and certainly a restaurant to support. Food is very well prepared, using a good choice of ingredients and delicious bold flavours. Standard menu dishes may not be there but still something for everyone. Butter chicken is korma like with a sweet richness. Roadside chicken a lovely well spice curry, Lamb and Fish curry also. Generally on the healthier side, though butter chicken maybe not, but lovely. Very quick as we ordered quite early. The restaurant on high street is BYO so take your own bottles for a cheaper night out, Home delivery was great.

Lovely food. The owner is so polite...loved it.

I was excited to try this given all the amazing reviews. I’m very keen to support local places. I ordered my dinner takeaway. I was one of a few customers - It was slow but I assume that’s because they were cooking everything from scratch. The bill was completely wrong. They calculated it twice and still overcharged me the correct value, which I had to check on my phone to get right. The food was provided in paper bags that were very oily by the time I got down the street. The flavour of the food was good, and refreshingly different from the usual Whitton curry, but on balance not the experience I had hoped for.

I had a takeaway from here but visited the restaurant as I wanted to see what it was like. The service was warm and friendly. The Dhaba chicken was OK but really lacked a depth of flavour. Other dishes we ordered were better but not outstanding. Considering the huge amount of competition there is in Twickenham, Whitton and Hounslow I'm not sure how this restaurant will survive. Prices are also higher than other local restaurants and the portions are smaller.

We had a fantastic meal at spice up. The food was delicious, and the staff and owner were really friendly and helpful. We will be coming back again!

Food was really good, I enjoyed every mouthful. It was pretty much empty beside our group.

Fairly new addition to the High Street. It was very quiet the evening we visited. As the food is of a fresh homeworker style the service is slow and leisurely. Our waiter appeared very new and needed support from the lovely owner with our order. I thought the starters were better than the mains. The biryani tasting platters were too much food for one person, but great value between two people. If you are local, do pop in and support this restaurant and local business owner. This is a BYO drinks venue which will make it a cheaper dine out option.

Great food, made as you order (does not feel pre prepared) all fresh and lovely! Also a BYO restaurant so your only cost is food and soft drinks 😃

Possibly some of the best Indian food that I have eaten.

Food was amazing, nice atmosphere and good value for money. It’s BYO so bring your favourite drinks along, a fine wine or good beers to accompany the amazing food. Wonderful.

Really fresh and fine food. We really enjoyed the subtle flavours of every dish. The owners are very friendly. Lovely place.

Lovely local gem. I’ve been twice now, food is delicious and service is great. If you’re in the area, it’s a must visit!

The food was excellent, a generous portion of biryani, with sides and chicken tikka to start, we were very pleased and will definitely return to sample some of the other great looking dishes.

The tastiest food I had at Silverstone F1 and I tried a lot. If I’m ever near your restaurant I’ll be sure to stop by!

First time here and it won't be the last! The food was so fresh and tasty and good size portions. The slow cooked lamb was melt in the mouth. Excellent options for vegetarians as well. Great value for money!

Food is delicious, “home” cooked and authentic, have been twice now and will go again. Very quiet though, please use it or lose it!!

Really delicious food. We (accidentally) attended the street food event and were really glad we did. We had about 6 courses of delicious food and it was all unusual and different. The courses got bigger as time went on so go hungry! Service was warm and friendly and we felt really welcome.

Incredible food and great service! Highly recommend. Butter chicken is to die for 🥰

Went to see a friend who has started up her own restaurant in whitton called spice, with my aunt. Food was amazing, so tasty 😋 Thank you sheetal

Excellent food and friendly, personal service. Good choices on the menu. BYOB keeps the price down.

Delicious food and lovely staff. When we went we were the only people there (Sunday) so can't testify to atmosphere but staff made us feel very welcome.

I've eaten here 4 times now. Food is freshly prepared and flavours are different. Not a one sauce does all restaurant! Service is quick and very good. The owner is very friendly and is keen to please her customers. The menu is small but this ensures that dishes don't have the same flavour. We took another couple to our first supper club there. A different experience as food is not chosen by the diner. A feast is delivered in courses. We didn't think it was necessary to have the Indian channel TV on as it was quite noisy in there with about 24 diners. The food was of a very high standard. We were given a complimentary bottle of prosecco for our table and Indian beer if we wished. Being able to take your own alcohol keeps the bill lower. A lady was doing henna tattoos and had some Indian jewellery for sale. An enjoyable evening!

Highly recommend Spice Up food. Sheetal’s dishes are tasty and varied and at a great price :-)

Such a wonderful home cooked meal. Best bhajis I have had! Thanks Spice Up!

Amazing food and hospitality. Authentic, tasty and reasonably priced; highlight recommended

Last week we had an Anniversary Celebration for around 30 guests at Spice Up. The food was delicious & an impeccable hospitality was provided ❤️ And, I truly appreciate the way Sheetal & her team handled the event. Thank you once again Sheetal, for this memorable experience 🥳 Keep Rocking.

I couldn't resist giving a major shoutout to your restaurant for making our birthday celebration a total knockout! The food was amazing, and the service was on another level. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience or event/celebrations. Kudos to the incredible team at Spice Up.

Amazingly tasty, fresh, and authentic cuisine. Have used take-a-way, eaten in, and went to the Walk Through India gourmet night, simply superb

Was so looking forward to trying this place out but unfortunately on the evening we went, we were extremly disappointed. Spent over £80, for under cooked food, very little flavour, we ordered garlic naan and was given oily roti, we ordered pilar rice and we give stodgy veg rice and a unsalted plain rice. Our curry dishes lacked authentic flavour and spice and the lentils in the dalh were hard. We love to support new local family bussinesses therefore may give them another try once their reviews increase. Good luck.

The food here is unbelievably tasty. The quality of the ingredients and the skill of the chef is evident from the first mouthful to the last. SUPERB

Delicious! We had the aubergine, paneer, and dal makhani mains, plus samosas and bhajis and everything was really tasty. Also, delivery was bang on time and the food was piping hot and fresh.

Fantastically fresh and tasty Indian cuisine. Can’t recommend highly enough. Dishes cooked to order and my onion intolerance catered for superbly. Please tell your friends. It’s amazing and Sheetal provides such a warm welcome. The best samosas I have ever tasted. Delicious. Will go again and again.

Absolutely wonderful home made curries. So refreshing to have a different menu to what is traditionally offered in Indian restaurants. I went with friends on a week night and then again on a taste of India night, it was just brilliant. All the food was amazing and generous portions, I did not leave hungry. Took both my kids who ate everything (same menu as the adults, just not hot spice). It’s a must try for everyone

Not as good as the reviews suggest. Very oily dishes. Dal tasted bland and undercooked in texture. Disappointing and expensive by comparison to what is on offer elsewhere.

This is spectacular. I can still taste the flavours. Genuine and authentic food. No grease and generous portions. Wow. Thank you.

Amazing food. Best Asian food in town. Will recommend if you into Asian food. Best food in town so much flavours.

The breadth of food is fantastic and you can tell it’s lovingly made. We had the veg biryani, tarka daal, aubergine potatoes with rice and samosas. All full of flavour and look forward to our next visit.

We have had many wonderful family meals at Spice up now. Service, presentation and food always wonderful! Such a welcoming and cosy restaurant. Extremely family friendly. And always go the extra mile when they get oat milk for us so our kids could have a diary free banana milk shake. I look forward to many more visits. Highly recommend this friendly and tasty new Indian restaurant!!

The food here at Spice Up is some of the best and authentic Indian food I’ve ever had. I shall be recommending to all friends and family. X

A wonderful evening with exceptionally tasty food- the lamb samosas were very flavoursome and cooked to perfection. I followed this with the vegetarian Biryani- a dish I hadn’t tried before: what a delightful surprise; it was cooked to perfection. Friends had prawn and lamb curries and these too looked and tasted delicious. Large portions, very flavoursome and tasty, I shall be back! This is an experience that shouldn’t be missed. Great location too and BYO which is also a bonus. The owner and her staff were very friendly and professional.

I've eaten here with friends and family and love Sheetal's food and friendly service. She always goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need and the food is delicious. It's BYOB too, so bring along your favourite beer or wine. I recommend you try it out soon!

Local gem! Fantastic food and menu. The owner really cares about the food and service offered - this makes a big difference. Great location (1 min from Whitton statin) makes it very easy. If you live RIchmond/ St Margarets way the 110 bus goes right there! Recommend.

Really enjoyed the food and service. I am excited to see what's next on the menu! Lamb samosa is magic!

Very yummy deffo recommend. Butter chicken is so nice

Great food, authentic gem of an Indian restaurant in Whitton! The chicken tikka was especially gorgeous and we couldn't have enough. The naan was also delicious. Definitely recommend if you want to have amazing food and attentive service.

Excellent food and great service once again at Spiceup in Whitton!

Loved the food. Had the butter chicken and needed my naan to wipe the plate clean.

What a great addition to Whitton…best authentic curry I’ve had in a while! Very friendly and food is beautifully cooked….will definitely be going back.

This is the best Indian restaurant in the area. It just opened 6 weeks ago, guys go and try you are not going to be disappointed. This is one of the best meal we had after a very long time. Reasonable price, relaxed atmosphere, fantastic owner and amazing food 😀 😋 😍.

Absolutely delicious thali- both meat and vegetarian options available. Really friendly staff and child friendly. Will definitely be coming back.

We ordered a take away as we'd heard such good things. Not disappointed! Butter chicken delicious, plus dhal and sag paneer. Hand made onion bhaji and veg samosa perfect. So glad we gave it a try.  Easy parking in Whitton High St to pick up our meal. Not dined in yet but hope to soon. Excellent!

This standout Indian restaurant is just 10 minutes’ walk from the Crane River Walk (follows the river Crane through west London through a mixture of urban parks and surprisingly rural woods and forests) and so is an ideal midpoint or endpoint for a hike along this river or an outing for Sunday lunch (or Saturday dinner during the summer months). I'd ordered from the owner's home-cooking takeout service before this restaurant visit -- which was unparalleled in its deliciousness -- and so I was excited to try the dine-in experience. It did not disappoint. The lamb tikka, lamb saag, and spiced tea stood out, but we also tried a couple of chicken dishes which were very flavoursome. A lovely hiking destination (from Richmond, St Margarets, and Twickenham), with delicious food at its end: now that's a winning combination!

Amazing food! You will get something really special here. Not just the usual Indian restaurant food! It is tasty and made with love. We went with our 4 children and they all loved it. The onion bhaji’s are the best in London!

Really good quality and tasty authentic food-plus it’s byo which is a huge plus. The owner was very friendly as well. We will definitely be back-I’m also excited that I can order takeaway when I’m on the train home to pick up when I arrive in whitton.

Just had a fabulous lunch here. For starters, we had veggie samosa, chicken tikka and lamb kebabs. The samosas are second to none. The lamb kebabs are very flavourful. Then we had lamb saag and dhaba chicken. The lamb saag was outstanding; the saag is just as good as the saag my mum makes. You must have the masala chai - the perfect drink to go with the amazing food.

I’ve enjoyed both a takeaway and most recently dined in here. I always find it reassuring to see a short menu; it suggests freshly prepared food. Most of the items listed have familiar names but do not resemble the general Indian restaurant offerings. My chicken tikka was not a fluorescent red but just chicken coloured and beautifully spiced. The naan bread which I normally find just useful was also delicious. I would recommend a visit; right next to Whitton Station. Don’t forget to bring your own 🍷🍻🥂 Ralph’s is just a few steps away and has a great selection

Genuinely the best curry I’ve ever had! Lovely family business!

A lovely place with authentic Indian food . The butter chicken , lamb saag curry , slow cooked lamb curry and roti was delicious . Highly recommended.
