Our experience at Root Spice was outstanding. The service was very attentive, catered to our needs (food allergies), and very kind. Every dish in our five course menu was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was lovely and tasteful. We highly recommend this restaurant.

I’ve eaten at Root Spice about 8 times now and it is unfailingly reliable with so much choice and seriously delicious food and generous portions. The staff are absolutely charming and service is very willing albeit could do with just a little polishing to be 10/10 but they more than make up for that with their warm welcome and best efforts. So good, in fact, that I’m going back there tonight!

Really smashing food especially the Spicy Garlic Chicken and vegetables are really tasty and good portions. The atmosphere is lovely and congenial and staff are charming and attentive and the owner/chef is a hugely jolly chap who is a brilliant cook and comes up into the restaurant and greets everyone. I’ve been there twice and am heading back again tonight!

Indian food in the UK varies from mediocre to outstanding. Root Spice was outstanding - tasty, beautifully presented, ingenious and not overly spiced. The Lamb Rogan Josh - which I use as a kind of benchmark meal for Indian food - was by far the best I have ever eaten, which includes meals across India. Service was attentive without being overbearing and the ambience was, well, perfect for the food served. If you are in Bath (or nearby), you've got to eat here. (It's also very affordable)/
