The Spice

The Spice occupies the first floor of a building on The Quay in Bideford, accessed by stairs or a small electric lift, with river views over the Torridge and a dining room laid out with white tablecloths and warm lighting that makes it one of the more considered Indian restaurants in North Devon. The kitchen produces a full menu of Indian favourites — tikkas, roghan josh, baltis, biryanis — with staff who are willing to adjust spice levels and ingredients to individual taste. Reviewers consistently praise the generous portions, the freshness of the cooking and the welcoming atmosphere. The Quay is Bideford's most visited public space, steps from the old Long Bridge and the town's waterfront pubs. The Spice is bookable through OpenTable.
