Food: 5/5 Service: 3.5/5 I decided to visit the restaurant because it’s not far from my hotel near the ExCel area and it was also on the Michelin recommended list. The food was fantastic. I ordered 2 small plates to start: the lamb samosas and the Gressingham Duck tikka, which was on their seasonal special menu. The samosas were light and the lamb filling was flavorful and spiced perfectly. You can taste the lamb and the Indian spices used in making the dish. The chutney / sauce that accompanied the dish provided a nice sweet and sour foil to the spiced lamb filling. It was divine. The Duck tikka was more heavily spiced but in a good way. The vermicelli like noodles on which the Duck rested were delicious, as well as the Duck. The savory notes worked in tandem with the little bit of garlic that was in the sauce of the vermicelli, which was awesome. The lamb main dish had such a deep flavor and it didn’t disappoint as a main dish with the curry sauce. The apple samosa was the perfect ending to the meal. The apple filling was elevated by the nutmeg and the cardamom. The house made apricot toffee ice cream was creamy and smooth. It wasn’t overly sweet and worked in perfect harmony with the apple samosa. The service could be improved (I waited by the host stand for about 3-5 minutes before someone saw me from the kitchen and grabbed the host. I was the only one in the restaurant at the time (18:10). I was presented with the choice between sparkling water and still water and picked sparkling, but was then told it only came in big bottles, and so I asked for regular water. However, he never came back with the water and took my water glass, in fact. Another server checked on me, which was nice. Also, the owners came out and checked on my food and talked to me for a little bit as well, which was nice. Other than the missteps in the beginning, I would say this was an overall good experience). The restaurant is lovely and is located by the water. I had a great view to the sunset as I enjoyed the dinner. If I’m back in this area, I will definitely return.

An absolutely amazing restaurant, with incredible food and the most hospitable hosts you could ask for. This was my second time eating at the restaurant and there's still plenty left on the menu to try on future visits. Cyrus & Pervin greet you like one of the family, and their menu recommendations should be ignored at your peril. If I lived nearer I'd be there all the time. Definitely worth a visit whenever you're in London. 5 stars just doesn't seem enough.

Had an absolutely brilliant birthday dinner at Cafe Spice Namaste with a group of friends and family. The atmosphere, the food (so, so delicious), the service, the welcome, the value for money, was absolutely perfect, making it an unforgettable memory for my 40th! A massive thank you to Cyrus and Pervin Todiwala (great to meet you) and the team for making it so special! As a local, I will be back again and again!
