Decided to book a table after enjoying a takeaway from here. We were so disappointed in the level of service. When we walked in, a waiter was seating a table of 4, he took their coats, made a fuss of them, the usual stuff. A different waiter dealt with us. When I said I had a booking for a table of 2, he mumbled something I thought I hadn’t quite heard properly. But I had heard perfectly well. When I said “Pardon?”, he waved his hand in the direction of the toilet & said “In the corner.” No friendly smile, no offer to take our coats, no taking us to our seat, basically no service whatsoever. When the poppadoms arrived, they checked on us a ridiculous amount of times to see if we were ready for mains, to the point it made my daughter feel very uncomfortable, like she had to hurry up. Once the mains arrived it was back to ignoring us so although we wanted to order more cocktails, trying to catch the attention of a waiter was impossible so we only had the one. It wasn’t the greatest so no loss there. The food was delicious, the sag aloo was a little bland but the rest of the food, I can’t fault. It really is as good as people say. When we left, nobody said goodbye or thank you for coming etc, I have honestly never felt as unwelcome in a restaurant as I have in the Spice Merchant. Awesome food, terrible service ruined our evening so won’t be going back I’m afraid.
