Cafe Spice Namaste in Tower Hamlets

We had a wonderful evening at this restaurant. The owners and staff are very welcoming. They helped us with permit parking and got us to our table with no fuss. The menu is extensive with many unusual and familiar dishes. The tapas style is a great idea because we could sample and share many more dishes than you would at a traditional Indian restaurant. Can’t wait to come back again in the daytime this time and by the DLR so that we can also indulge in the cocktails!

Amazing Dinner. Every single dish was simply amazing. A very good price for fresh and quality food. Highly recommend. Staff Incredibly nice and accomodating. Quiet and Intimate atmosphere.

Loved every Minute of my experiance here.Really lovely atmophere. Everyone was so welcoming. The food was so Exceptional and can really tell the love and passion that goes in to the cooking. I loved the birthday touch they did to my dersert. They also have great cocktails 😆 cant wait to come back. Definitely Recommend.

Having enjoyed fantastic dining experiences at the old Cafe Spice Namaste we couldn’t wait to pay a first visit to their new place. The location of the new restaurant is in a fabulous spot on the Royal Docks in east london on the River Thames giving you amazing views back up the river past City Airport to Canary Wharf. They really have found a great location and when you look around you’ll see that the area is also well populated. This can only be a benefit to the restaurant to make it as successful as the old place.So on a cold and misty day we headed of to Gallion’s Reach on the DLR. From here it’s just a five minute walk to the restaurant but before you enter do admire the view. When we entered there was Pervin herself to greet us. As they now have a lovely bar area we decided to have a drink first as well as have a chat with Pervin and of course the man himself Mr Cyrus Todiwala. It was great to see them both again and they seemed very pleased with the new venue. We enjoyed a fabulous cocktail while also getting advice on the menu.Now it was time to be escorted to our table where we were given a fabulous view of the river. So now to the menu which is also a bit different than before as it is now designed for sharing. You start with the Small Ones an extensive selection of small plates. Then there’s the Famous Saucy Ones which are larger portions. The recommendation was for two or three plates each. Then on the other side is a selection of Veg/Vegan dishes along with Breads , Rice and delicious desserts.While enjoying some Poppadoms & Chutneys we chose a delightful Alvarinho Regueiro 2020 Portuguese wine with flavours of citrus , lime , peach and a mineral finish really was a great pairing.It’s now time to move to the real reason we’re here the food itself and wow were we in for a treat. So sit back because there’s lot of food on the way. We started with a selection from the Small Ones including Paneer Halloumi Shashlik , Venison Tikka Aflatoon , Garlic Chilli & Ginger Prawn Balls , Roast Chicken Cafreal Zambeziana , Ginger Seasoned Lamb Cutlet & the amazing Five Cheese Chilli Toast. The dishes were perfectly cooked and the flavours on each plate were simply amazing.We then had a little break before moving on to the Famous Saucy Ones. Here we chose the Goan Vindaloo of Pork Alenteijo Style with shelled clams and Pulav rice as well as the Lamb Dhaansaak. To accompany these dishes we opted to have a Kerala Paratha and a fantastic Badaam Narial Wali Naan (peshawari). We absolutely loved these dishes and really were in an Indian paradise. All this while enjoying watching Cyrus and the team in action in the open kitchen.Now it was time to finish with desserts and the delights didn’t end here either as we enjoyed the Bebinca ( a multi layered portuguese coconut pancake) , Bombay Creme Caramel , Pistachio Kulfi and a scoop of Parsee Apricot Toffee Caramel ice cream.We finished with a Masala Chai to bring to an end a fabulous dining experience and one I’ll look forward to repeating as soon as possible. The location is fabulous , the bar area is a great addition , the food is absolutely stunning , the service was very friendly. So yes it will now come as no surprise that I would highly recommend a visit here even if you just want to pop in for a drink , a quick bite or a long relaxing lunch/dinner. Cyrus & Pervin are a fantastic hard working couple and an absolute pleasure to meet. Their knowledge really is second to none and they are also welcome to any feedback you give as they only want to make your experience the best it can be.Thank You Cyrus , Pervin and all the team for a fantastic lunch and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Cafe Spice Namasté (Royal Albert Wharf) - A foodies paradise by celebrity chef Cyrus TodiwalaI have been visiting Cafe Spice Namasté’s new location at Royal Albert Wharf (5 mins) from Galleons Reach (DLR) station over the last couple of months now. The new site has been tastefully decorated with plenty of light and fantastic ambience as it’s situated right by the water.What was also interesting to note is that Cafe Spice Namasté also has a private dining room upstairs for up to 30 guests which is ideal for birthdays and special occasions.Chef Cyrus Todiwala has curated a menu using Goan influences and each dish is both unique in its taste and presentation.My firm favourites when it comes to the starters for example has been the “Duck Sausage”, Chorzo Hummus, Indo-Chinese Prawn Balls, Chilli-Cheese Toast and Lamb chops which are absolutely “yummy” ☺️😋👌For mains the “Pork Vindaloo” remains my firm favourite!!! Please do try it…Almost every dessert on the menu from the Bombay Crème Caramel, Saffron Crème Brûlée to the Apricot & Toffee ice cream prepared in his kitchen tastes absolutely out of this world which keeps me craving for more when visiting.My favourite cocktail has to be the “Namasté Mule”, their house special which I highly recommend you try…The staff are very friendly and helpful and will recommend dishes for you if struggling to choose any just in case.For those of you who haven’t visited Cafe Spice Namasté before or who are yet to go to their new location, I highly recommend you do and try out some of the dishes I have featured here as they are absolutely delightful. 😃👍

This is place situated by the dockside was really accessible for those living locally. It would be a bit of a trek to get to if you don’t. the dishes were wonderful and the staff were really friendly. However the biggest downfall is the price. For the things you get, it really is over priced which makes me wonder whether I would go back. I luckily had discount but I couldn’t justify going back for this very reason.

Great food and ambiance. Authentic Indian food, cooked lovingly by Cyrus, Pervin and their team

Good food, great staff and friendly owners. Definitely worth a visit.

Such a wonderful surprise to stumble upon Cafe Spice Namaste! We went in for a completely unplanned Friday dinner and were greeted by warm hosts and very attentive service. The small plates were packed with flavour and we'd recommend you try the venison!

Had the pleasure of visiting the new restaurant today, and what more can I say than YUM. the restaurant is situated in the docks and has a lovely ambience. The team were lovely and super attentive, and huge kudos on the absolutely delicious food. Packed full of flavour, piping hot, and absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back.
