    We had a great experience at Cafe Spice. The service was very personal and friendly with recommendations provided on the menu items. Food was delivered quite quickly and more dishes could be ordered as needed. Some items were a little different to the traditional presentation - e.g. chicken tikka was not the typical cubes of chicken in a very orange hue. Cyrus was coordinating things in the kitchen and took time to come and chat with all diners towards the end of the evening.

    A nice place to eat not your fancy indian restaurant decor, simple and straightforward. The service could have been better there was only 2 people running around serving and on a Saturday night I think at least 1 more is required. Otherwise they were very polite and attendative. I think it was a little pricey for 3 ppl it was just under£70 we had no alcohol.
