River Spice of Reading is exactly what it says on the tin: riverside Indian dining. Set just by the Thames on Caversham Road in the heart of the city, River Spice is a contemporary restaurant where the Indian food on offer goes way past the takeaway standards too often associated with Indian cuisine in Britain. The chefs here serve classics done with a River Spice twist as well as plenty of their own exciting creations, and the results are exceptional. The dining space itself is fresh and elegant, made even more pleasant by riverside views. Open seven days a week from midday until midnight, Reading’s River Spice is one of the best Indian restaurants around.
