4 of us visited Taru on Saturday evening. Great Indian restaurant addition to Buckhurst Hill. There’s a great menu selection including wine & cocktails, and the food is all beautifully presented and well seasoned. The staff are all so friendly, especially the owner/manager who was a great host. The decor is also stunning & very instagramable. 10/10 and will definitely be back to try more dishes.

• Contemporary Indian • Shoreditch
Spice Slice is rooted in a natural coming together of cultures. Founded by Giovanna Hussain, whose Italian heritage is shaped by a love for simple, honest cooking, and influenced by her South Asian husband’s deep connection to bold, layered flavours, the concept blends two culinary worlds effortlessly. Set in a space that was once an Italian restaurant, the foundation was already there, pizza, dough, and tradition, now reimagined with spice, heat, and vibrancy. We bring together the bold flavours of India with the craft of classic pizza. From tandoori-fired toppings to chaat-inspired creations, every dish is built with balance, texture, and heat in mind. Rooted in Shoreditch, it’s a menu designed to be shared, familiar, but reimagined.
