For the ultimate in Indian dining Café Spice Namasté at Prescott Street, London, offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with truly exotic dishes. Namasté means 'gracious' welcome in Hindi and it is on the principle and philosophy of 'welcome' that Café Spice Namasté was initially conceived. Cyrus Todiwala OBE, executive chef of this award-winning Indian restaurant, is highly acclaimed for his unique style and widely acknowledged as one of the most creative Indian chefs working in the UK today.

In its decade of service it has sought to truly redefine Indian food, décor and service. Its elaborate and extensive menu incorporates the best of Indian cuisine with specialities and influences from all over the Asia, often, with a European twist.

Rare, unusual meats feature on the menu and Cyrus's Speciality Menu changes fortnightly to take advantage of the best the British seasons have to offer. A truly extraordinary menu that at any one time can include squid dynamite marinated in a fiery Goan peri-peri masala, and the traditional Parsee-style chicken curry made by first roasting then pureeing peanuts, almonds, cashew nuts, poppy seeds and fresh coconut with red chillies and a host of spices and condiments.

The author of two specialist cookbooks, Cyrus was conferred the OBE title by Her Majesty The Queen for services to the hospitality Industry.

The décor at Café Spice is vibrant, contemporary and bold to match the food that is served, with saffron, cinnamon and kasbah blue predominating the colour scheme. The restaurant is airy and comfortable, and there is also a vibrant ginger garden for those who prefer to dine al fresco.
