We ordered for delivery while on holiday, and we were absolutely delighted—not just by the food, but by the whole experience. The lovely lady who delivered our meal was incredibly warm and understanding, which made us feel instantly at ease. She was dressed so smartly, had such a friendly presence, and communicated everything clearly and kindly. The food itself was nothing short of amazing—so authentic, full of flavour, and perfectly spiced. The garlic naan was beautifully fresh, and the prawn puree had a brightness and freshness that really stood out. It felt like a meal made with love, delivered with care. A truly wonderful experience all around.

Insane food! Had the Onion Bhaji, Chicken Pakoras and samosas to start and have to say these were insane! Same with the mains. The team were short staffed, but we were extremely impressed 10/10 service from both the servers! Well done spice merchant!

Amazing tasting food and decent portion sizes. Great service as well. Only small criticisms was that it was a bit bright and table/seating a bit cramped. Thoroughly recommended.

We were so pleased to find great Indian food in Watchet. The service and meals were excellent. The portions were generous and the prices were very fair. The papadums, along with all the sides, were very creative and flavorful. The mixed tandoori grill was excellent. It's great to return to my original home town (and country) to enjoy wonderful food.

Brilliant restaurant in the heart of beautiful Watchet sommerset. Lovely menu full of Indian delight. I had the lamb tikka cooked to perfection with a lovely keema Nan. Very friendly welcoming staff who seated us no problem without booking. Very reasonable prices. The restaurant is very clean and tidy. A pay and display car park is conveniently positioned a few minutes away. This restaurant is a little gem for those wishing to add a little spice to their visit to this historical little town.
