Spices Indian Restaurant, Datchet

Sitting in the heart of Datchet, just a stone's throw from Windsor, Spices is the kind of local Indian restaurant every village needs — welcoming, relaxed and ready to deliver when the craving for a proper curry kicks in.

Rather than the glitz and theatre of London's high-end Indian restaurants, Spices keeps things comfortably familiar. Expect a menu packed with Indian favourites, from rich and warming curries to tandoori dishes, biryanis, rice, naan breads and plenty of sides for the table.

It's particularly well suited to those evenings when you want good Indian food without making a huge occasion of it. Grab a few dishes, order far too much naan and settle in. Whether you're eating as a couple, getting the family together or heading out with friends, it has that easy-going neighbourhood feel that makes a good local restaurant worth returning to.

And with Windsor just down the road, Spices is also worth knowing about if you're visiting the area and fancy escaping the busier restaurants around the town centre.

City Lynx verdict: Spices is a proper local Indian in the heart of Datchet — relaxed, welcoming and exactly the sort of place to know when only a curry will do.
