SpiceBox Restaurant Walthamstow

"From the street, Spicebox, a plant-based Indian restaurant in Walthamstow, looks like a pokey takeaway spot (albeit painted in punchy purples and pinks). But the restaurant explodes into an airy dining space which has got cosy family meals and casual catch-ups written all over it. A combination of the amber and fuchsia cushions (the same colour as their pickled onions), and friendly staff means this is a place where you can have an unhurried, relaxed time. The pani puri and tarka dhal should definitely be on your table, but the naans are nothing special so go for loaded bhaji instead. It's a small space so book ahead for evenings when the thrum of chatter is at its loudest and friends nick the best bits of the thali specials off shared plates." - Sinéad Cranna

"Don’t be fooled by the narrow doorway and takeaway-style countertop by the door, Walthamstow’s Spicebox explodes into an airy dining space complete with a jewel-toned pile of amber and fuchsia cushions (the exact same colour as their pickled onions), hanging plants, and skylights. Grace Regan’s plant-based Indian cooking is bright and feel-good, just like the space it’s served in. Don’t leave without trying the tarka dhal." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Sinead Cranna
