River Spice

83-85 Wapping Lane

London

Bright, bold and beautiful, River Spice is a friendly oasis at the end of the otherwise lifeless Wapping High Street. DonÂ’t expect river views, but do have high hopes of an exquisite Indian meal. Chef Abdul Alim eschews artificial colourings for natural ingredients like beetroot juice. Ghee has been replaced by cholesterol-friendly vegetable oil, and the spices and herbs that make up the masalas are mixed, pounded and prepared daily. Vegetarian dishes are exceptional, and the homemade desserts well worth keeping room for. If you're not in the mood for beer, thereÂ’s a reasonably priced wine list mixing Old and New World, though only the house wines are sold by the glass. Voted one of the top 20 Indian restaurants in London.
