Spice Village Indian Restaurant - Drayton, Portsmouth, UK

If you are looking for authentic Indian flavour and not just curry's loaded with food colour, then Spice Village Indian Restaurant is your place. We have tried many Indian restaurants in Portsmouth, and being Indian ourselves, we know the taste of genuine Indian food. We go here at least once in two weeks, either for a date night or just whenever we feel like not cooking at home.

Location and Parking.

Located at 165 Havant Rd, Drayton, Portsmouth. There is plenty of parking on the Havant Road and also on Drayton Lane. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, the restaurant is quite busy so you may not get parking close to the restaurant, however you should get it within walking distance.


Interior and Ambience.

The interior is spacious with a lot of tables of different sizes. If you are going as a couple or group of three, it is highly unlikely that you will miss out on getting a seat here, but during busy times I would recommend that you call the restaurant in advance and make a booking. For larger groups, you should definitely book in advance so that you are not disappointed. 

As for the ambience, well what can I say? They have nice Indian music playing in the background which will keep you entertained.

Food and Drinks.

The quality of food is amazing for us, as we can feel authentic Indian flavours in their curries. Their menu has a range of items on offer which makes selection headache. Some of our favourites are Himalayan Chicken, Balti Chicken, Karala Chicken and Shimla Chicken.

Service.

We never had any bad experience here. The staff are friendly and the service is great. In very busy times, it can take longer than normal for the meals to arrive, but will be worth it.

Overall Comments.

We always go this restaurant for our comfort food and will continue to go there again. We still haven't tried so many things on the menu.

Hope you have found this useful and until next time, take care and enjoy.

Sabatini Italian Restaurant - Exeter, UK

Do you have a soft spot for authentic Italian food? The pasta, pizza and lots of cheese? Then you have to pay a visit to this wonderful new kid on the block on the high streets of Exeter city: Sabatini Italian Restaurant. Read more to explore more of this new addition in town. What is Sabatini? Sabatini only opened its doors in May 2021, just a few days before we visited. We had no idea it was a brand new restaurant as we only stopped by Exeter to grab lunch during our vacation in Devon. We had no idea where to go for lunch, as all the restaurants were full since indoor dining was only just allowed in the UK. We randomly just called this place at 1pm and asked if a table was available, and to our luck there was! We felt bad for dining here with our wellington boots as it was a fine dining place :) Sabatini - Interior View Sabatini - Interior View Sabatini - Interior View Location Located in the heart of Exeter city, it is quite easy to find.
