    We've been to City Spice many times—it's our go-to restaurant whenever we’re in London for a day or night out. The menu is extensive, featuring unique dishes you won’t find elsewhere. Whether you prefer mild flavors or something with a bit of heat, there’s something for everyone. The ambience is lovely, and the noise levels are low, making conversation easy. Highly recommended!

    Lovely staff and great food. Went for lunch, so it was quiet, and we were sat by the window where it was quite bright. The inner part of the restaurant is much better—dimly lit with a cozy ambience.

    As always, our favorite place for Indian food. Having just come back from Rajasthan, the flavors felt truly authentic. Unfortunately, UK prices are a bit higher than New Delhi, but the experience was worth every penny!
