Eastern Spice is an Indian restaurant in Stratton, just outside Cirencester, offering a straightforward alternative to the traditional pub meals that dominate the Cotswolds dining scene.
The menu covers all the expected classics—aromatic curries, tandoori dishes, and freshly baked naan—alongside house specials that give you room to experiment if you're in the mood for something new. Whether you're sharing plates or dining alone, there's enough variety to suit different appetites and preferences.
The location works well whether you're staying in the village or heading back from a day exploring Cirencester. It's convenient enough that you don't need to plan ahead, and the relaxed atmosphere means you can sit down for a proper meal or grab takeaway depending on what suits you. The place has clearly built up a regular local following, which tells you something about the consistency of the food and service. After spending time wandering around the area, it's a genuinely useful spot if you want something that breaks away from the standard Cotswolds fare without any fuss or pretence. It's the kind of restaurant that delivers a satisfying meal and doesn't try to be anything other than what it is.
