House of Spice is an Indian restaurant in the village of Grove, in the northern Cotswolds near the market town of Wantage.
If you've spent your day wandering through local villages and countryside, it offers a welcome alternative to the traditional pub meals that tend to dominate the region. The kitchen takes real care with their work, using fresh ingredients and proper spices that actually taste of something. You'll find all the classic Indian dishes alongside regional specialties, each one executed properly rather than rushed through. The atmosphere works well whether you're arriving as a family, with friends, or solo—genuinely welcoming without feeling forced. The service gets the balance right too, present when you need it but never hovering. Its location makes it convenient for anyone staying in or visiting the surrounding villages, with most places in the area just a short drive away. After a day of exploring, settling in here for an evening meal feels like a proper way to unwind. If you want something that steps beyond the usual fare and you care about quality, House of Spice delivers exactly that.
