Spices Indian Cuisine in Windsor and Maidenhead

We went on a fairly quiet evening just after new year's, with lots of tables being available on the evening. Based on the initial choice of table offered, we asked to be seated in the corner, so the staff member proceeded to very kindly joined two tables together, although it wasn't really necessary as one table would have been sufficient.As we sat down and started looking through the menu, we heard the staff member being told off by another for doing that, this was quite off putting and from my perspective and completely uncalled for as the venue was only approx 20% occupied.The food itself was ok, not as flavoursome/authentic when compared to some of the other local restaurants and this I believe is due to the restaurants target audience wanting more toned down dishes.Whilst the venue itself was ok, I think the service and dishes themselves could be improved.

Having visited a few years ago, I planned a re-visit in February 2022.Much to my surprise, there was no menu on their website!I contacted them twice to ask that one be sent to me, but there was no reply.I'm now looking elsewhere. Don't waste your time - they don't care.

I hardly ever post on but feel compelled after this experience at SPICES in DatchetVisited this so called restaurant on Sunday evening.....service levels are shocking!!!!!!!Waiters seated us in darkest table in an empty Restaurant.We ordered drinks, poppadums’ and chutneys and then moved onto the starters which took 30 mins to arrive, this is after speaking to the waiter who was rushing us 7.15pm to order to mains at the same time to save time!!!!!!!!!!!! We said no we here for relaxing meal and want to take our time …..anyhow he didn’t have no clue or manners and did not even know what was in the mixed grill?????Then the starters arrived burnt meat!!!!! and a side salad which we never ordered! Sly staff tactics.Then whilst half through my starter the useless waiter turned up asking for us to order our mains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man how about asking how is your starters! Oh yes the meat is burnt can you not see?Then final straw unbelievable..... went to order mains....and although we were not happy and our 7-year wanted to leave we needed to eat an meal of something as it was around 8.30pm!Anyhow we ordered a chicken/ lamb mince dish and 3 naans and another side salad…..and the waiter was like just one dish….can you order more as we have costs and to make more money!That was it I told him ….we 2 adult and a 7 year who need eat and make an exit….that is plenty and I have never been spoken to like that by any restaurant staff ever you lack manners completely and given I have an issue with you get your manager now! The waiter came back around and said everything is ok I just spoke to manager and he fine with it? I was like ‘You what fine with what?”…..at that point we already decided to pay up and leave asap (yes they would have spat or do something to our food I am sure)…we just said bill now!The waiter took his sweet time and called our to another waiter who witness this all and brought over the manager - who asked me what has happened? I was like ask him (pointing at the useless waiter), has he not told you what is going on? The manager said no nothing? I said ‘So he is lying now to you too!What a Show or stupidity!The manager briefly spoke to the useless waiter in Bengali and apologised continually and added that it was his fault for not being there (evidently, he does not trust that useless waiter too). We paid in full for the starter and what we had to drink/ eat - never been so insulted everMy wife noted and overheard another couple complaining about the service and food too…….maybe they left soon after seeing usTotal horrible experience….bad food, bad service and bad manners. Spices management take note!SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!ALL AVOID THIS PLACE

Not my cup of tea but gave it four stars for staying busy and people are happy thats what counts for me not real authentic indian food not my first choice for an Indian

I popped in to meet a colleague who is a regular here but hadn't arrived yet.While waiting they offered me 'nibbles' which I was grateful for as I was hungry.In the end, my colleague had to cancel so I ate alone.The food was amazing and considering I was alone, the service was top notch. I thoroughly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Indian food.. It's my place to go to from now on.

Ordered butter chicken, Ceylon lamb and mixed grill. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! Butter chicken was tasty and nutty. Ceylon lamb had quite an authentic Indian taste, more meat would be nice though! Mixed grill could do with being more spicy but aside from that very enjoyable meal! (Takeaway) Recommend to any Indians looking for Indian food that tastes a bit more authentic than most!

A warm and welcoming atmosphere. We didn't book a head of time and even though it was a busy Saturday night they still managed to find us a table. The staff are also very friendly and polite.

Staying in Datchet for the weekend, we chose to eat in Spices Indian. Smart from the outside, beautifully presented inside. Large restaurant, with an excellent menu. Highly recommended a visit. Prompt, efficient service with a smile. Most reasonable prices. Definitely a restaurant to return to.

Great place, food and service are really nice. The staff are very helpful with recommendations. Location is great within Datchet village

Spices easily accommodated a 10 seated table with no problem. With fantastic service and huge variety of classic and unique Indian dishes. I and the whole table was really impressed with the food. The service was excellent with always someone to hand walking by or checking up on us. Our party went on a Thursday night and there were other tables too but the quantity of food was no problem!Being in the centre of Datchet, you can't miss the restaurant and if you haven't been then definitely try something mild and spicy in Spices Indian Cuisine Restaurant.
