Family-run since 1982, Spice Merchant has been serving bold, flavour-packed Indian cuisine for over 40 years.
We use fresh, premium ingredients — including Michelin-star-level spices — and take pride in our homemade marinades, sauces and chutneys. No food colouring. No shortcuts. Just honest, vibrant Indian food, cooked with passion.
We invite you to experience Indian food the way it should be.
A Thali is a traditional Indian meal, served as a selection of complementary dishes on a single platter. Each one is a complete and balanced meal, designed for one person to enjoy. To preserve the authenticity and flavour of our dishes, items cannot be substituted.
Available exclusively on Sundays.
An Indian – inspired twist on the popular classic, afternoon tea. All of your favourite tea time treats, spiced up to produce a creative, exciting and truly delicious menu. By combining the flavours of Asia with the culture of ‘high-tea’ our specialist chefs have designed a showcase of signature dishes especially for the occasion.
Our signature boards are a bold, beautiful twist on the traditional grazing table. Packed with Spice Merchant favourites like tandoori skewers, naanwiches, Bombay potatoes, Indian-style dips, crudités, fresh fruit and more — they’re designed to impress and built to be devoured.
Lunchtime doesn’t have to be predictable. At Spice Merchant, we serve up bold flavours and thoughtful dishes that go far beyond the average midday meal.
Whether you’re popping in for something light or settling in for a longer lunch, we’ve got options to suit your mood – from grilled fish and tikka wraps to warming curries and fresh tandoori plates.
We are open for lunch every day,
Sundays are something special.
That’s when we serve our traditional Indian Thali — a beautifully balanced platter of complementary dishes served together for a full and flavour-packed experience. With no substitutions and everything designed to work in harmony, it’s the most authentic way to enjoy a full Indian lunch.

Our Beaconsfield restaurant offers the best of both worlds. At the front, you’ll find a cosy, intimate space overlooking the Old Town high street — perfect for a quieter meal or date night. Head to the back, and the mood lifts: our spacious conservatory is bright, relaxed, and ideal for everything from family lunches to lively dinners with friends. In the warmer months, the garden opens up for al fresco dining — a local favourite when the sun’s out. The conservatory is also available for private hire.
Small but perfectly formed, our Henley restaurant keeps things simple. With one warm and welcoming dining room, it’s the kind of place where lunch turns into dinner — relaxed, friendly, and full of regulars who like it just the way it is.
Steeped in character, our Cookham restaurant is set inside a charming 15th-century coach house. Downstairs offers classic, cosy dining, while upstairs provides a more secluded feel — perfect for small groups or private events. The rustic interiors and intimate layout make it a firm favourite for celebrations and long, leisurely meals.
