"My recent visit to Deshi Spice Indian restaurant in Bedford was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and attentive service. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and their professionalism was truly commendable. Now, onto the food – it was an absolute delight! The flavors in every dish we tried were exquisite, and it's clear that the chefs at Deshi Spice are masters of their craft. Whether you're a fan of rich curries, flavorful tandoori dishes, or aromatic biryanis, this restaurant has something to satisfy every palate. One standout dish for me was the chicken tikka masala, which was creamy and packed with flavor. The naan bread was fresh and perfectly cooked, a great accompaniment to the curries. And if you're a fan of spice, don't miss out on their vindaloo – it's spicy and satisfying. The ambiance of the restaurant is also worth noting. It's cozy and inviting, making it an excellent place for a date night or a gathering with friends and family. In conclusion, Deshi Spice Indian restaurant not only offers exceptional service but also serves some of the finest Indian cuisine I've had the pleasure of tasting. I wholeheartedly give it a well-deserved five-star rating"

"Reminiscing about the great time we had at this place last night! We spent the weekend in Bedford visiting relatives and decided to book this place, because we’re big pizza fiends and the reviews meant it made sense! Have not stopped thinking about the food all day! If you’re lucky enough to know what a proper Neapolitan pizza tastes like and have been chasing the dream of tasting it again… look no further! If you haven’t been to Naples before, then this place takes you there and back in one evening! This is hands down the best pizza outside of Naples! In fact I would go as far as to say that it could easily hold its own amongst the 100s of pizzerias in its birth City! The restaurant itself is casually quirky… named after the owner’s mother, with photos to couple that offer a little glimpse into the owners background with Italian memorabilia for days… including a real vesper hanging on a shelf from the ceiling, you’re hit with the scent of the wood fired oven as soon as you walk through the doors letting you know instantly that you’re in for a treat… the real deal! The relaxed, but upbeat vibe coupled with the warm and attentive welcome and service from the owner and the staff meant it was only fair to start with a round of Aperol Spritzes, which was followed by a number of bottles of delicious Primitivo throughout the meal that ultimately led to some singing and dancing at the end of our meal! We allowed the owner to recommend lots of things off the menu to share and boy did he not disappoint! Everything from pizzas, to pizza rolls to bruschetta meant that we were all able to try the classic Neapolitan pizza base with various different flavours! Highly recommend trying the Pizza Tartufo if you like truffle! I’m Italian and visit Naples most years and the pizza base is up there with the best I’ve tried! Hats off to the pizzaiolas as mastering this culinary delight is not easy! The pork meatballs in tomato sauce and oven roasted cracked pepper and salty ribs were delicious! But aside from the extremely high quality of the pizzas it was a bowl full of cheese and charcuterie that stole the show! Imagine a huge ball of creamy burrata that when cut open released loads of tiny balls of morzarella! It was truly next level! I have never seen or tasted anything quite like it! We finished with a round of espressos and some traditional Italian pastries, which were out of this world! We had such a lovely evening from the food to the wine, service to the vibe it really was exceptional! The only thing I wasn’t happy about was leaving, knowing that this restaurant isn’t on my doorstep! The only saving grace is the avoided damage it would do to my waistline if it was, as I would be here every weekend! Cannot wait to go back!"

"I spent good Friday evening with my wife and the fantastic hosts of the 2likeus Bistro Lino and Roberto. The rustic Italian food Lino creates is truly a feast for your taste buds and you certainly won't go home hungry. We started the evening with starters of homemade meatballs for my wife and artichokes for myself. The meatballs were fresh, tasty and cooked to order. The tomato sauce was indulgent and had a real depth of flavour. The artichokes were cooked perfectly and still had a slight bite to them, a great starter for any vegetarian or food lover. For our mains I ordered the seabass which was beautifully cooked which I highly recommend you try. My wife had the Rib Eye steak drizzled with orange balsamic , sautéed potatoes salad and cherry tomatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly and just to my wifes taste. We've both been to 2likeus many times now. Lino and Roberto always deliver great food and great service. Thanks again for another lovely evening. We'll be back that's a promise!!"

"Now that we can walk to a decent curryhouse, we are visiting our favourite Bangladeshi restaurant in Bedford far less often, which is ridiculous when the food is so superior! Tonight all 5 of us loved our delicious meals. I had my usual vegan pathia, which was the best I’ve ever tasted, (always a good indicator of a great restaurant, when every time you eat there, the food is the best you’ve ever tasted! The bonus tonight though was being informed that they have stopped using ghee in their pilau rice, so now, apart from the keema rice, every other rice is suitable for vegans so I had the coconut rice . We’ll be back again soon!!"

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."
