Indian Zest - Spelthorne

Thought the food was a bit bland and not well seasoned, which was a shame because the menu has some different dishes on it to try instead of your run of the mill indian restaurant. The onion bhaji starter was delightful, but my other half had the lamb kofta starter and said it was too small and not very tasty. We both opted for chicken dishes, the chicken was moist but as said before the sauces were a bit tasteless. Service was superb and the restaurant itself is lovely, maybe the chef was having an off day!

Excellent place for an evening out! Went there with my family to have dinner. The food was amazing and ambiance was also very good! The services were great and staff was also very nice. Will be going there again very soon and would definitely recommend!

A lovely evening to dine out. Warmly and politely welcomed, we loved the curry we ordered. I had the Duck Anjeeri with lemon and ginger rice, super tasty and rich. Generous portion, I couldn’t finish my meal but I asked for takeout and was happy to finish my meal at home. Will definitely come back to get a taste of the rest of their menu.

I booked a table for 20 to celebrate Diwali with friends. Amit was very helpful and worked closely to ensure we had our menu sorted to avoid delays on the day, as it was a busy Saturday night. He even worked off a spreadsheet I sent him with everyone’s orders. We had a table for the adults and an adjacent one for the kids who were all teens. When we arrived the food came out quickly and beautifully presented. The wait staff took care of our group and everything went smoothly. The food was delicious including the desserts. They have some vegetarian options which you rarely find in Indian restaurants but are much loved, like the jackfruit (Kattal) curry and also for dessert a beetroot halwa similar to the more popular gajjar (carrot) halwa and delicious. Overall a lovely night and the best part is that I did not have to micro manage as they were well organized and professional in their service. Ambience was charming too... the restaurant is a home which has been refurbished, so quite charming with a vintage feel including the wood staircase leading to the party seating area upstairs. There is a small paid parking lot right next to the restaurant in fact the restaurant entrance is via the lot, so that was convenient as well if you are able to get a spot there. Amit was very easy to connect with prior to the event, which made group planning much easier. Too many pics to post but have included a few. Will be back!

An authentic Indian restaurant that offers a near fine dining experience. This is a cut above the average Indian restaurant that offers freshly cooked dishes with a more sophisticated touch. The ambience is very good, the service is excellent, and the food is wonderful. Wish we had discovered it years ago. Wine by the bottle is reasonably priced but you pay a significant premium if you buy by the glass.
