"The food is good, when it is fresh. I go there for an occasional Dosa and Vada. On a number of occasions they have served stale chutneys and dosa filling. Yesterday, the dosa arrived within a minute of ordering and it was cold to touch. I asked them to replace it. The replacement was warm but not crisp. I ordered Vada for takeaway. Since they were busy and taking time to bring the check, I opened the package and decided to eat it. The chutneys were clearly a few days old. The excuse they gave was that they get packed in the morning (not). They then brought the fresh chutneys. I was not delighted paying £22. It’s a hit and miss. I would say insist on bringing fresh food if you find it stale or cold. There is no other accessible place for Dosa, so when I am craving it, I’m forced to go there and hope it will be fresh."

"Visited with two others on a Wednesday evening. The reservation was made quickly and easily a few days earlier via the Spice MerchantOpen Table websites.We were offered a table by one of the front windows, which we happily accepted. From this location, I noted a number of people calling for preordered takeaway meals, which was a good sign that the food is popular with local residents.Service was exceptional, from the moment we arrived to the time we eventually left. Our waiter was extremely polite and attentive, yet not obtrusive. We met the Manager, who was really friendly, very helpful when it came to choosing our food and came over at the end of our meal to offer a very kind and generous "thank you".The wine list was extensive; we ordered one bottle of red and one white. My companions were very pleased by their selections, which complemented the food perfectly. I had a bottle of Cobra beer I initially ordered the nonalcoholic variety, but that was outofstock, so I had a "normal" Cobra and limited my intake of wine I was driving.We were there for the food the menus we had perused online were extensive and this did not disappoint! Portions were good and the flavour, texture and presentation was outstanding! This restaurant must have the best Indian chefs in Berkshire.The bill was reasonable, considering what we ordered and the fact this business serves an affluent area. One of my friends was so pleased by the food and service that so booked her birthday meal there for the following month! The Manager was most accommodating regarding her wishes and we are looking forward to returning just after Christmas for another excellent evening.Well done to all the staff at Spice Merchant, Cookham you deserve awards for producing "Michelin Award" worthy food and looking after your guests so well"

"Love this restaurant took my son there for his birthday the staff came out with a cake and sang happy birthday. It was lovely to sit in the garden looking towards the restaurant but it looks like a bit of a building site as there are working on the garden. But the staff and food are amazing I always recommend this place to my friends and look forward to seeing the garden finished"

"Had dinner at the Spice Merchant in Beaconsfield for a girls night out. From the moment we entered the restaurant we were all treated as royalty! The food was delicious great taste, quality, presentation and good portion sizes. The location of the restaurant is on the high street and it is huge inside with seating in the back garden area too. I could not faulty anything and definitely deserves a 5/5 rating!!!"

"We arrived and they had noBooking for us! They moved two people who had just sat down to accommodate our party of 6! After a bad start we had the best attention from the management! The food was fabulous and the restaurant was quirky and buzzing! My 5 Danish friends who can’t really get curry at home were raving about the place and the food! Thank you to the cool staff who made it just the best!"

"Had really high expectations but was quite disappointed by the quality and portion of food. The ambience no doubt is excellent and the staff are nice to an extent but the food is not worth at all. It is not even close to authentic Indian food and the quantity is abysmal. We ordered three dishes and all of them were totally bland and full of oil and food colourings. What really ticked me off was the mandatory service charge with no mention whatsover of it's discretionary nature (not even in the menu or the receipt). When I asked it to be removed, the staff got rude and only took it off after I had to remind him that it's not legal to impose service charge. For all Indian customers atleast: go there for the less chaotic and peaceful environment in Central London but try the food at your own risk."

"the worst customer service I've ever seen. we did not get our drinks after 1.5 hours. we remembered the waiter, but no drinks also afterwards! the food was cold and we had to look for the waiter of the minute in which we were paid until the time we were paying the bill. there were many irate customers and the waiter ran from one table to another participant, especially the tables were customers to increase their vote. what a shame and what a shame!"

"We give British pub fare much due credit for coming a long way in the last 20 years since its previous dark days of unmitigated blandom. Still, the vanguard of English culinary salvation remains its range and ubiquity of excellent Indian food, as we are sampling this evening, with Asian and Mediterranean food holding up the flank and rear. This place is a prime example ans best in class for its specific category of hard to find authentic South Indian far. On order shown here are chicken masala dosai (crepe) and chicken biryani. The restaurant cuisine actually hails from my ancestral Kerala which I have yet to discover. The copious portions made for ample take home, even for the two ravenous patrons."

"The worst customer service. We reserved the table and went for lunch on Mother's Day with my mother-in-law and my wife (a mom herself). The food was okay and few items a bit salty. Also, buffet items were not refilled properly and everytime you have to nudge the staffs when they get over. I have also seen many complaining about it. Also, it was mentioned on their website there will be a surprise gift for Mom for Mother's day. They just gave 1 or 2 for few customers next to us while we were having lunch and took pictures of it. When we asked about it they simply said it's over and no apologies. When my wife asked about it on a call they simply hung up with no apologies. Well, it's not about the gift rather how they behave with customers. They are focussed on advertising tactics, rather than providing a good customer service. I have been to many restaurants but here the staffs were not customer friendly. We wanted it to be a special day, but they simply ruined it. Personally, I won't be visiting this place again and wouldn't recommend anyone."

"Sorry guys you did your best to correct some issues and our waiter was very pleasant, but I don’t think you seemed to know what a dhansak was as a plate of korma was proffered. Bit suspicious when told that the dhansak already had pineapple in it!?They did change it for something else which was passable but there was not a lot of meat in my Jalfrezi or my wife’s dish. Had much better many times in many different places. Won’t rush back sorry to say."

"My family had booked the conservatory area for my hen party. On the day, the owner phoned to check with us in the morning if the booking was fine it was. Then about before we are due to arrive, and my family have...arrived to decorate the room he tells us that we can no longer have it because it has already been booked. Even though we booked it weeks earlier and spoken about it on multiple occasions to check the details. To add insult to injury, the manager also tells us that we changed the date earlier in the week when no one did. Plus management called in the morning to confirm the booking. Then they refused to move the other people out saying it was a wedding occasion but when we arrived, it was clearly a birthday. Furthermore we were then placed in the main area, but my family had spent loads of effort and money on decorations which we simply could not put up. Had we known how shoddy this would be, we could have done it anywhere else. I had about guests some of whom had travelled hours and from many different areas in the country to be there, only to receive this awful experience. The management told us that no one else would be allowed in the main area to accommodate us, again you have guessed it. Yet another lie. About later the tables were full of people and they had clearly not done as promised. The service was also slow, and terrible. The owners of this establishment are awful people. If you have double booked, admit to it and offer a larger discount. Instead they just ruined what was supposed to be an amazing night full of memories through anger and inconvenience. We couldn’t do any of the games or the preparation we had planned. Worst experience with memories of India ever. Do not recommend this place ever."

"I ignored some warning signs: first, when they enter, they are hit with a kitchen odour. not tasty food smell, but the old oil smell. secondly, when they enter the restaurant, was almost absolutely full. normally a good sign, but could also mean too many, just like I followed HappyCow/TripAdvisor Yelp guide and the restaurant may not be able to handle crowds. third, after I checked the menu and ignored the first two warning signs, I ran after the waitress who said we were ready to order. I should have known now that they cannot accept orders in time, but that they do not get food quickly. the foods were heavy, not particularly good in taste and arrived 45 minutes after the order. I never realized that preparation of palak paneer and paneer makhani was so complicated."

"The dosas at this restaurant are still top-notch, earning them 5 stars. However, after a recent dinner visit, I have to make a slight adjustment to my review. Previously, I had only dined here for lunch."
