Square Meal Review of Café Spice Namasté ?

Anglo-Indian cooking finds its perfect home at Café Spice Namasté, where redbrick Victorian architecture and high ceilings are spiced up with rich swags and bold colours. Chef Cyrus Todiwala melds his Parsee heritage with Goan and British influences, creating a succession of culinary thrills and surprises – no wonder the place is still lauded as a 'jewel in the Indian crown'. Denham Estate venison appears as sheek kebabs, char-grilled salmon is pointed up with fresh green chutney, and the ‘country captain' is a full-on, cross-cultural take on shepherd's pie (slow-cooked Orkney mutton in spiced tomato and red-onion gravy, topped with cumin-flavoured mash). The wine list includes a few Indian bottles and there's lassi with Greek yoghurt to soothe spice-inflamed palates. Note that the Ginger Garden at the back is currently open for group bookings only.
