Spice Merchant - Uxbridge

Well, that was pretty ordinary The coffee was way too hot but if you let it sit it was just OK. The hearty breakfast had beef rashers which were cold; odd

No bacon at breakfast is like not serving meat because your vegan! Grab a frying pan just for bacon if your customers don't want eggs cooked with bacon.

Nice coffee and gluten free bun just either before or after you walk around the lake. They have covered seating outside.

Finding the Spice Merchant restaurant was a bit of a challenge as it has changed it's name to Dost. So a mystery challenge thrown in to the evening as well as a meal! Very nice modern decor, with a canteen feel. Food was really good with many dishes very different from the usual. My starter of pieces of fish in crispy, spicy batter was utterly delicious, as was the spiced potato dish my fellow diners had. Mains were equally tasty, some familiar, some new. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. The restaurant was a bit empty, only three tables filled on a Saturday night. Perhaps letting diners know about the name change might have helped this. Despite that, a good feel to the restaurant and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Nice resturant, but of hte dishes only were up to scratch. We ordered a lamb madras and if tasted as though the spices were not fully cooked, slightly powdery
