Spicebox Leytonstone

this was different to the usual places I go however enjoyable nonetheless. a vegan only restaurant with what I believe are vegetable or tofu alternatives to chicken/meat. nice decor, nicely laid out with warm staff. the korma banged. as did the tarka daal. highly recommend both. the other dishes were alright. jackfruit vindaloo disappointed a little and the shroom keema was ok. we enjoyed some dessert and masala chai at the end of the night and those went down well. i feel like the glass of mango lassi was a little on the small side for the amount we paid but all in all a good night. they also sell some of the wares so could take something home if you wanted to.

Went here last night with a good friend food is amazing all vegan so great for me!! Did not go for any of the fake meats style as personally not a fan....stayed true to beans n veggies. Great flavours, so much choice,good portion sizes. Great service the staff are lovely. Great vibe will definitely be back again. Back again today for brunch lovely second time had their full Indian brunch lovely

We stumbled upon this GEM tonight and all my vegan dreams came true. I’d given up being able to ever have a paratha or chicken korma. I got both. The chicken korma was filled with veggies and beans too, so it was extra nutritious and filling. The rice was fluffy and yummy. My partners tikka masala, was delicious too. Staff and atmosphere was friendly, clean and well run. Highly recommend you give it a try. We are going back this weekend for the brunch. Can’t wait to try the masala chai.

🌱🍲Easily the best vegan restaurant we’ve ever been to! 🍲🌱 Katherine.K was an absolutely wonderful host who honestly felt more like a beloved Aunt than a waiter, with great knowledge in the menu, suggested dishes, while we could openly have a laugh & visited frequently enough to ask about our dishes without persistence, she’s our crowned our favourite waiter weve ever had! 🌎 The atmosphere just felt so homely! ✨If the owner could thank her personally from us both that would be Amazing, thank you so much! ✨ ( Previous to this restaurant used to be our Favourite Vietnamese family run restaurant that closed last year due to the pandemic effecting their business. As much as ourselves and many other reviewers here clearly loved them, Spice box is a completely different establishment that shouldn’t be compared to the past owners. ) That being said on being seated we were asked whether we’d dined here before, with a walkthrough of the menu, their most popular dishes, how they recommend portions, drinks & about the table water fee ( which is responsibly sourced, filtered and completely optional ). Prior to coming I had read alot of harsh reviews and from this they clearly listen to their customers, the water fee had clearly been explained and for that we were happy to include that onto our bill. The popadoms are complimentary & were great to pair with the drinks while waiting for our curries. We’d ordered a hot boozy chai ( can be served cold, ) which felt really nice for a cold snowy night in but perhaps not with a hot curry, nether the less it was a nice portion to hold and have alongside our food. And the other being a Mango lashi, which i strongly recommend as a smooth / sweet drink to compliment a spicy curry. Followed by a chocolate brownie with coconut icecream & a Lotis Biscoff cheesscake my partner had already devoured with his mind as Katherine had mentioned vegan cheesecake! 🍰 💫Our 🌱vegan🌱 dining experience was honestly so good with ✨Amazing staff✨ & buzzing Atmosphere we will most Definetly will be returning to try the weekend brunch! 💫 ⭐️Thank you so much to all the Wonderful staff & Chefs who worked hard on Sunday 29th of May! ⭐️

OMG the food here is just delicious. Beautiful service and attentive staff. Everything we ordered was top quality, looks and tastes amazing. The food i would say is great value for money and really good portions. However the drinks are too expensive. A bottle of wine was £32.00. I will stick to their bottomless filtered water for £1.00.
