The Spice Bank
The Spice Bank is located in March, Cambridgeshire and is the self proclaimed ‘Finest Indian Experience in Fenland’ does it live up to this claim?
We arrived around 7pm, the place was lit up by multi-coloured changing LED light fittings both on the walls and via the large central chandelier.
The place looked lovely, inviting and modern. Unusual for a Traditional Indian restaurant, but was also a nice change.
From the looks of it, it would definitely be a different mood going during the day time without the lighting effect.
The Lighting was a pain in the butt for taking photos but nice to dine to.
The tables were all laid out and decorated impeccably with napkin sculptures and sparkly clean cutlery.
We were greeted at the door and seated, it was a fairly quiet night with only a few groups dotted around.
Ordered a couple of drinks and Poppadoms (as you do!) which arrived pretty much immediately.
2 large Poppadoms along with 4 dips, always a staple starter in my books.
They were light and crunchy just how they should be, the real winner in my books though were the fresh house made dips that it comes with.
There was the Onion salad, Mango Chutney, Lime & Pickle Chutney and Mint Yoghurt.
The Lime & Pickle was very zesty and sharp, not to our particular taste but I know some people that would have liked it.
