About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
As the first restaurant Spice Merchant Cookham was the beginning of the success of this award-winning group. Ever since Bashir Islam opened it in 1982, it's had a superb reputation for fine Indian cuisine.

Ancient 15th century coach house, which offers a historic setting that has been tastefully modernised to ensure a fantastic dining experience. With its wonderful low ceilings, three separate rooms and restaurant upstairs or private dining, which are the original design of the building, has a unique intimate and cosy atmosphere.

The menu here is very traditional, with pot cooking and flame grilling as the main cooking methods. This restaurant is for those who are looking for something new!

    A tasty meal with good service, but the table for two could have been a bit bigger to accommodate the dishes better.
