THE MERCHANTS OF SPICE REVIEWS
Finally made it to the Merchants of Spice after many recommendations from friends. Booking ahead is essential, particularly if you are a slightly bigger group. It was busy for a Tuesday evening, and despite booking weeks ahead, as a table of two we were unfortunately on a table in a bit of a walkway. This actually turned out to be a bit quieter than the location of the other small tables though as there were some bigger groups in and it was quite noisy. The food was excellent, as was the service. Highly recommend the Railway Lamb dish! We also enjoyed having a different Indian beer on tap available.
A lovely experience, a quality restaurant with great atmosphere, classy yet friendly. The food is well presented and great quality, service was impeccable, attentive but not intrusive. Great food at a good price.
I didn't like Indian Food until I went here. Service was excellent, food was even better. Sat opposite a vegetarian and was completely satisfied.

ALI TANDOORI REVIEWS
The best curry I have had for a long time! I am.glad we booked as the restaurant was full with customers when we arrived with not a table free in the house. Beautiful food was served that tantalised the taste buds from start to finish. Worthy of 5 stats all round.
My friends and I came here for my birthday and the food and service was top notch. The waiters were very attentive and accommodating to our dietary restrictions and the food was full of flavour and love. I will definitely be returning here on my next visit to Norwich. Thank you so much to the wonderful team at Ali Tandoori, you made my birthday a great one!
Excellent service with food to match. Moderately priced. Will be going back. Based on my recent experience with friends, would thoroughly recommend.
