Tsaretta Spice, Twickenham

You'll find Tsaretta Spice tucked away on Church Street, where the aromas hit you before you've even opened the door. This is the kind of Indian restaurant that actually understands balance — they're not afraid of heat, but they're not trying to prove anything either. The kitchen clearly knows what they're doing, whether you're after classic curries or something with a bit more character. It's the sort of place where regulars seem to know what they're ordering before they sit down, which says everything about consistency.
