If there is one thing you are assured of when you visit Spice Of India it is a warm welcome, professional service and a friendly atmosphere. You always feel that you are being treated as someone special and lets face it we all like to feel special don't we?

It has had a few names (Taste Of Raj being the last one) over the years and has had some facelifts along the way, but unfortunately the internal decoration is quite stereotypical and cheesy, rather than modern and contemporary - you wouldn't want the decorator to do the coving or plasterwork in your living room. It's not the sort of venue if you want privacy either, everything is very open and little too close together.

As for the food itself, it always appears very fresh and hot. There are a wide variety of dishes to choose from, however I do find that the chef is very fond of his coconut (I have found it in a suprising number of dishes, some you wouldn't expect to find it in - not noticably at least) and not fond enough of his spices - too many dishes lack that little something that would take them to the next level. The strongest dish on the menu I would suggest is probably the sizzling tikka's served from a cast iron dish.

It is a very popular restaurant in the Whitton area, so it is often wise to book a table. The staff are very accomodating to your needs, all you have to do is ask.

As an added bonus it does do takeways with a 10% discount, it also does a cheap buffet on Sundays - if you fancy a curry on a Sunday. Prices are pretty reasonable anyway, however I'd rather they charged a few extra quid and improved a few of the recipies to make it that bit more special.
