    Superb restaurant with a great variety of excellent and well cooked dishes. I tasted six of the smaller plates and every plate had it own character. Food is treated with care here.

    Had an amazing meal here! I had Bombay Chilli Cheese Toast (cheese on toast taken to the next level!) and a Beef Xacutti, a Goan style curry which tasted unreal, with Palav rice. Even met Cyrus Todiwala himself which was amazing! Also enjoyed seeing the aircraft landing at London City Airport! It's further out the city centre but if you can I'd highly recommend making some time to go there!

    You can tell that these recipes have been worked on and perfected over many years. The intense flavours began with the freshly made dips served with mini popadoms and carried on through the starters and mains. All courses great including the deserts. Cocktails with an Indian twist were refreshing. Great location once you find it!

    The food at Cafe Spice Namaste is superb - a great menu and such wonderful flavours. There were 7 in our party and the small plates were shared so we could each taste many dishes. It's a bit of a trek to get to the restaurant, but worth it for the food, the fine views across the royal docks and the warm welcome from the Todiwalas.

    We came here last weekend while we were in London for a birthday, and we were staying nearby! We were all very impressed, the personal welcome form the chef, the quality of the food and the service were all absolutely amazing. One of the best things were the spicy margerita's - they were fantastic. Definitely recommend if you are in the area, will definitely be back!
