   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.

   Was looking forward to coming here after finding out they had reopened. Had previously enjoyed dining there when it was in Aldgate. Unfortunately the place seems to have taken a turn for the worse. The menu is tapas-style now. Dishes are still tasty but some of the higher priced sharing bowls are not even enough for 1 let alone 2. They won’t do a plain naan, only garlic or peshwari. The fact they refused made it feel like the naan is pre-made and not fresh. And the garlic naan is so garlicky it overpowers anything you eat with it. The home made kulfi was the saving grace. Would go back just for that. Parking is a nightmare. You have to park in specific spaces, go inside and get a parking permit, go back out and put it in the car. If those spaces are full and you drove there, you might as well turn around and go home or expect a hefty fine.

   An absolute treat for you tastebuds Service we excellent, I am on a low salt diet and they bent over backwards to accommodate me. It was also a pleasure to meet Cyrus and his lovely wife Pervin who made us feel totally at home. An incredible experience that I would recommend everyone to try. We will definitely be going back

   What a lovely place to come to eat, food was great, service excellent with a very warming family feel. Location was great too and you are just under where the planes come in to land, strangely you couldnt hear them at all until you saw one come past you head. Definately coming back again to try the dishes I didnt get to try because I was so stuffed I could hardly move after. Well done guys for creating such a good place to eat excellent food for whatever occasion. Nick

   Quality food, with huge authentic flavours from an awarding chef. If you are looking for something slightly different in a welcoming atmosphere, where the food is served at an elevated level but reasonably priced - this is for you. Mr T was in the restaurant and talking to his customers as was Mrs T , so they are hands on not just a name above the door. It is a new venue but not far out of London and very well worth the trip.

   Amazing food. So flavoursome and tasty. The pork vindaloo is to die for. This in not your normal 'Indian' it is so so much better. Staff were nice, friendly and attentive. I can't wait to return

    This is the best restaurant and London, and an absolute must-visit for anybody who enjoys food or new cultural experiences. I learn something new every time I go. Although I miss the ostrich bhuna of bygone years, there is so much choice on the menu that I spend a while just enjoying the experience of choosing. This time, I particularly enjoyed the beetroot chaat and the paneer chaat (the latter from the seasonal menu), and the raspberry and sorrel sorbet. The hospitality staff even brought out a cake for my boyfriend's birthday - without being asked - with a beautiful sparkler. This was a lovely addition to an already 10/10 meal and experience. Chef Todiwala has set up a kitchen where the food is absolutely excellent, it feels very modern with hybrid cuisine, and the atmosphere is just lovely. I could not recommend this restaurant enough, and I for one really enjoy travelling on the DLR and the clean air around the docks.
