Visit website ↗About Spicy Tadka
Spicy Tadka deserves a place because Visit Staines directly lists it and the town benefits from at least one clearly identified Indian restaurant in its top five. In a place where a lot of dining options are chain-led, it helps the batch feel more rounded and less monotonous.\n\nIts central location also makes it a practical dinner option for locals and visitors staying around the High Street or riverfront.
