"The customer service was terrible! Mr. Singh and his staff were more like Humpty Dumpty and a group of unhelpful street kids. I would recommend avoiding this restaurant."

"While the food and ambience is good, I was taken aback when after booking via OpenTable the waitress was not able to find my booking. Furthermore, she stated we don't use OpenTable and so this was not a valid booking, inspite of my showing the email confirmation and the booking on the app. Wasn't a nice start to an evening when I was taking guests over there, but the food and service thereafter was decent. Pricing is a bit high, but then it has made a name and so was packed even on a Thursday evening. Worth visiting. Perhaps book directly."

"I have to say I was very surprised how bad my experience was with the Spice Merchant was. It started very badly with the food taking two hours to be delivered. This was after several calls over that period where we were told that the food was on its way and should be with us in five minutes. That was a bad start but the food was just as bad. The only saving grace were the starters of chicken lamb lollipops which were tasty. The main courses were all very disappointing, lacking spice and flavour. They were also swimming in oil. The breads were also flavourless. I don’t like to give reviews like this but in this case it is well deserved especially as it was extremely expensive. £150 for five people. For that kind of money it should have been allot better. Worst curry I have had I recent memory! Service: Delivery Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40"

"We were genuinely and happily stunned to enjoy this gem of a restaurant. First class fine dining, in Indian food. The food really is exceptional, beautiful, original and delicious (with a good vegan menu available). The service was second to none, attentive, polite, informative and friendly. The atmosphere and decor was soothing, quiet and done well. Our only surprise was that it wasn't already jam packed! DEFINITELY recommended, a rare treat. Notes; Spiced crab starter was sublime. Fig and coriander naan was pure genius. Lemon and mustard seed rice was perfection. Lamb shank was a spicy gastronomic delight. My vegan dining partner was also very happy with their choices too."

"The COVID compliance was shocking. We did not see staff sanitising tables in between customers. Although staff were wearing masks. We ordered 2 Long Island ice teas. There were certainly lacking the alcohol and were very sweet. When raised this with the waiter we were told he had put 50ml of the spirits and next time it will be better. It was obvious that these were not made correctly! We ordered the mixed grill- the sheek kebabs were awful! They were cold and hard, so we raised this with the manager and he apologised and replaced them. The new plate came and this time the kebabs were warm however still hard and chewy. They were not freshly made! We sent these back and the manager spoke to the chef and confirmed it was an error On their part. The wings, tikka and chops were very nice. We decided not to order mains. Staff were great, the manager gave a discount due to the issues raised however would have preferred decent cocktails and food I would not recommend this place as cocktails are watered down and the food is mediocre."

"We went for a family meal to celebrate a special event. We have eaten here several times before and were always impressed with the quality of the food. On this occasion we were eating late in the evening due to other commitments. Some of the food was disappointing. I ordered the lamb tikka biryani. When it arrived, it was clearly chicken not lamb! The rice was very dry and it came with a spicy sauce rather than a vegetable curry. I ate about a third of it. One of the other meals was not particularly inspiring and did not match the promised description. The service was very good, although we did feel the staff were waiting for us to finish as we were the last customers there. In all, we have been a little put off returning to what was one of our favourite places to eat and I am not sure we could recommend it to others despite having done so in the past."

"The food was excellent (and spicy!), and the staff were very friendly. However, it felt as though we were forgotten at times. The aperitif was served, followed immediately by the starters. Then, after about 45 minutes, the main courses arrived. We ordered a bottle of wine, and thanks to our keen observation skills, we realized they were serving us a bottle that had already been opened and was missing a full glass. After dinner, we requested a taxi, but a friend of the restaurant came to pick us up and ended up charging us double the fare we paid upon arrival."

"A group of friends and I visited Glasgow and stumbled upon this charming restaurant. I was impressed by the beautiful paintings on the walls that brought back childhood memories. However, the food was a letdown. We ordered fish pakora and chili chicken, but the presentation of the chili chicken was unconventional and not to our liking. The taste was also disappointing. The Gol Goppa was a standout dish. The chicken Chettinadu and prawn korma were okay, but lacked authenticity. The biryani was overly buttery, overshadowing the spices and fragrance. The naan was the highlight of the meal. The staff was polite and the service was efficient. Overall, this restaurant may not be suitable for those seeking authentic Indian cuisine."

"I have been a fan of this restaurant for over a decade since I first discovered it. Located in the heart of London, it is easy to find and close to our hotel. The area feels safe even at night, with many pubs and people around. The restaurant has a street-level dining area for those with mobility issues, as well as a smaller back room and a downstairs area for larger groups. The food is top-notch and reasonably priced for central London. The staff have always been friendly and accommodating, which is why we always choose to dine here when in London for the night."

"Sadly having to give 1 out of 5 due to the terrible experience with delivery. Food was delivered an hour and a half late. Was basically lied to when enquired by phone, ranging from its out for delivery, it’s left and should be there in 5 minutes, it hasn’t left yet as it’s on the hot plate, it’s leaving in 15 minutes, to the driver was delivering it and had a car accident and had to go to hospital. I sincerely hope the latter was not a lie, it’s a terrible one if it was, but I hope the driver was ok if genuine. Asked for a refund and to cancel the order and told could not get one as no one there to refund me. Food finally arrived. The food was actually really nice, but we were eating it so close to going to bed for the evening due to it’s late arrival, so even though the food was nice we didn’t really enjoy it. Suggest just honest with customers, if there’s a delay, explain why, we will understand. Will not use again based on this experience."

"The food was good, but the service needs to be improved. We arrived and informed the staff of our reservation, but they did not seem to understand or acknowledge the reservation. Two different staff kept asking me to confirm how many people were in my party despite that information being on my reservation. We sat down at the far end of the restaurant, by the kitchen door, which meant we could be away from the noise of the groups at the front. Unfortunately, we were still disturbed by the loud shouting and screaming of those other groups, who were presumably drunk. For autistic people like me, loud shouting or screaming by others inside a confined space can be distressing. We were not given a drinks menu and assumed that the restaurant did not have one. We were told by the person taking our order that the restaurant had everything regarding drinks. We were about to state which drinks we wanted when that same staff member started listing all the general drinks they had, like beers, wine and soft drinks. The staff member spoke over one shy/quiet person in my party and insisted that she order wine, even though she did not want that. The lack of a drinks menu meant we did not know how much drinks would cost us. The staff member further confused my group by failing to clearly explain the portion difference between a side vegetable curry and a main one. The person who originally ordered the side curry felt pressured into agreeing to order a main vegetable curry because the staff member kept talking at her. After we ordered two portions of vegetable samosas as starters, we were told minutes later that we could only have one portion. It was unclear why. We felt rushed into deciding which alternative vegetable sides we wanted because we didn 't have the time or space to think, consider and discuss amongst ourselves whilst the staff member towered over and talked at us. After we paid the bill, we were approached by the same staff member who showed me a card of some type and insisted that I tap or scan it with my phone to leave a review. I got the impression that the staff member was going to stand, wait and watch me as I did this, which I found uncomfortable. I told the staff member that I would leave a review later. I don 't think it 's right to tower over your customers after they 've eaten to insist they leave a review on travel sites and platforms like Google Maps. The food here is good, so I suggest ordering takeaways instead of dining in."

"We live nearby and usually avoid restaurants that serve meat, so we were hesitant to try this one for a long time, even though it seemed quite accommodating for vegans. However, we finally decided to give it a chance last week, and we had a surprisingly wonderful experience. All vegan options are clearly marked on the menu, and the chef even made the dal makhani vegan upon our request."

"Booked for bottomless brunch on Saturday, only to turn up and find the restaurant closed. My friend had travelled from Liverpool and myself from the other side of Manchester, so to say this was disappointing is an understatement! I rang the number and in fairness they answered, but I don’t feel they offered a solid resolution. They claimed they had tried to get in touch but I’d confirmed the table the day before through the Opentable text I received. I had no missed calls, no other texts and no emails from Aamchi. Their reasoning for cancelling was that we were the only booking which is fair enough, but any form of communication would have been appreciated! I believe if they’d have just cancelled through open table it would have notified me so I don’t believe this excuse of trying to get in touch they clearly just forgot. If the booking had been cancelled then we wouldn’t have been as annoyed and would have saved hours (and the cost) of travelling between us! They offered to give us “something special” the next time we come, but considering we travelled out of our way to come for the bottomless brunch, I can’t say I’m willing to make the journey again to risk another disappointment. Shout out to Chit and Chaat where we had a great meal as an alternative!"
