Spice Paradise review by Anne Bond
Now called the Sri India after a year of major refurbishment, In my opinion it is now a much improved establishment. The interior is light, airy and minimalist, with an open kitchen that gives confidence to diners. I would however, get rid of the plasma screen on the wall showing bollywood movies (no sound). It's an unwanted distraction and even more infuriatingly jumps like crazy.
The food offered is described as fusion; I don't know about that, but there are plenty of unusual dishes on offer, plus most of the usual suspects. After a nibble on a couple of poppadums, we ordered a lamb and also a chicken dish that we had never heard of before (sorry can't remember the names). After a fairly long wait, about 40 minutes, we were more than ready to eat the impressive looking mains. They were both fairly spicy, and very tasty, especially the chicken. All the lamb was tender, lean, with no fat, and therefore could be eaten without having to suspiciously prod each piece before eating, as in so many other eateries. Even the mushroom rice to accompany was full of flavour. The service was friendly and efficient; I don't think 40 minutes is a long time to wait for freshly prepared food, and early on a Friday evening the restaurant was already buzzing with happy eaters. We'll be back!
