Spice Of India - Richmond Upon Thames

Very disappointed we went as a family of 4 for banquet night and go there as it opened but was still waiting for food 90 mins later even ordered a takeaway to toe with us and it came out before our food even though it was ordered after starters Food wasn’t very nice when it did come out Was qui wet when we went in but did get bait but no excuse and waiters kept playing with bills to make it look like he was busy Staff were not helpful and quite rude have always used but will think again now

Food was fabulous. It was a rugby day and we didn’t prebook. We should have gone straight to the restaurant but stopped en route for a drink, so ended up waiting about an hour. When I first walked it it was heaving and I had to approach a waiter, he was very offhand and like we are busy, you will have to wait a really long time. Not at all welcoming, I waited still though and was approached by a gentleman who looked as if he was a manager and he was happy to welcome us and offered us a seat in the waiting area and we ordered a drink each. Finally we did get a table and the food was worth the wait as excellent. We declined a menu and just ordered our regular favourite as I feel pondering the menu would delay further, we were keen to eat as getting late We had a main dish chicken, biriyani, naan, bahji’s, poppadoms and dips, two beers and two small wines and was about £80. Shame first waiter was off but it for better from there as the food was hot and tasty.

Excellent food and excellent service! Shaik served us a great meal. Five star service. We highly recommend visiting!

An absolute gem of a restaurant. Hidden in Whitton, the Spice of India is an absolute delight! Amazing authentic Indian cuisine and unbelievable hospitality and service. Parvesh made us feel so welcome and created an brilliant experience for our Daughters birthday! Superb food lovely service 10/10!!

Let me start by saying I have been a long time customer of Spice of India, and have recommended it as the best in the area to family and friends for a good few years. The other day however, I ordered from them, and upon delivery one of the curries I paid for was missing. I called to enquire about the whereabouts of it and the phone was answered by an extremely rude man who told me that I was lying, and that he had put it in the bag I had received. To make matters worse, when I asked to whom I was speaking so that I could better address him upon my next visit he aggressively told me to 'come on down then, face me, come on then '. I am absolutely appalled by his abhorrent behaviour and it is enough that I will never be back. In addition, the food this time was different, and not up to the usual standard. The samosas were gluggy and showed signs of being prepared in cold oil and the curry I did receive was lacking the usual flavour and taste. There are honestly much better and newer restaurants available in the area now, and ones that know how to conduct themselves properly in foodservice. I hope you read this review and make some major changes; an experience such as this should not have to be endured by anyone.
