16.7.16 Riverspice Caversham

Nice location on the river Thames.They had mad a mess with the booking but everything was fine.
 Indian music, not too soft or too loud. Fresh rose in a bud base. Menus clean. About enough space for 60 covers. 
Waiters friendly polite  and cheerful
Alan had samosa starter which was average. Alan had tamarin chicken and I had the usual but will probably try the lamb shank next time. Stuck to chicken tikka,  it is easier to compare when having the same dish.
I like it when the waiters present the towels at the end of the meal.... and they were fabric towels. I was given a rose Will revisit.  1/2 mark off because of the " average" samosas. 8/10

9.7.16 Gurkha chef

We have been to this restaurant a few times recently. It has moved premises since the last time I posted and is a more luxurious feeling establishment. We were quite impressed the first time when we went out with Elton. It was the first time we had managed to get a table. As it was so busy we excused the slow service. We then visited midweek and it was just as slow. Last Saturday we went again and even though the food was very nice the service still let plenty to be desired.  We celebrated Alan's birthday with Robert and Steve. Food is good but service lets it down. 7 1/2.
