Spice Oven - Reading

Omnivore Indian Restaurant

Spice Oven

The Spice Oven has stood out from Reading's other Indian restaurants by it unusual menu, good cooking and smart surroundings, including an indoor water garden.

The restaurant is very keen to cater for the vegetarian and vegan market and as such boasts a separate vegan menu (you may need to ask for it) and clear labelling on their web site to the suitability of their menu items for many dietary types. Flick to the back page on the main menu to find the exclusively vegan menu.

Many of the staff are vegetarian and the owners lean in the direction of being vegan.

The Spice Oven has many times been very supportive of our group including organising great group events at the restaurant, donating prizes and helping at veggie events, such as the Viva Roadshow. Please return their generosity with your custom - you win both ways!

In the past have been disappointed with our meal but really believe that is the exception to the rule and must be when the normal chef is not on. I think it is important to stress you are vegan and what that means to the waiter and then you are fine. We went to the organised event and they had done amazingly well so we started going again. On several occasions the chef has come out to see us and they could not have done better. Mistakes do happen, but 95% of the time this place is so good don't let a negative experience put you off.

In terms of organising a meal here, the Spice Oven went out of their way, in all respects, to make the meal a really special night.

This is a fantastic restuarant for vegans – we have our own menu! An amazing array of different and unusual dishes, breads and sides. The staff are always very helpful and the chef is always willing to create any variation on a dish you would like. I've been here lots and haven't even nearly gone through the vegan menu – a treat!
