Issue 1. By far the main was that went with our son who has nut allergies. We asked our server if any of the dishes we wanted had nuts in them, and we were told 'no'. It was by chance that the manager saw that we were talking to the waiter, and he asked if we were OK. We said that we were confirming nuts (or not) and he double checked with the chef, and there were nuts in the dish our son had chosen. Ones that could have killed him. 2. We were also with my elderly father who had a walking frame. He couldn't get to the loo because staff had used the corridor to store space chairs. He couldn't make it in time and his night was ruined. 3. We also left a cell phone behind. We came back the next morning to collect it. There were staff there, and they initially didn't want to come to the door. When we persisted, they did come to door, and we asked them if there was a phone found they said 'no'. They didn't look or check and sent us away. But the phone was there and we had to return later

This new location for the Spice Merchant is beautifully fitted out and an intimate space with peaceful ambiance and taste of India. Exquisite, absolutely delicious dishes served by friendly, welcoming staff on white starched tablecloths. A delightful experience for our family birthday celebration.

The Spice Merchant never disappoints. Friendly servers, original dishes, quick service. A little quiet on a Tuesday in terms of ambience but a lovely meal nonetheless.

We always love to visit the Spice Merchant when we come to Henley in our opinion this is one of the best Indian restaurants in the UK!

food and service good. do not like sitting in what feels like a takeaway restaurant to me with posh seats. Needs must in today's climate.

The restaurant was full, but the kitchen was spot on. Delicious tandooris and curries and great service.

The individual dishes were all delicious and far, far away from a ‘standard’ Indian restaurant where it can sometimes be hard to distinguish one from the other! The new, smaller layout of the restaurant in its new location makes the dining experience much more cosy.
