Bun Mok Very nice Cantonese food! I’m from HongKong, So as the chef as I heard, and I do think it’s authentic. I definitely feel closer to Home. I would say it’s taste like home, I understand that some ingredient are not possible to get exactly the same way as in Hong Kong. So I definitely appreacite the effort ! A large selection of dishes which I am surprised. I ordered from the menu, not the buffet, since that’s not usually how we go to a Cantonese parlour, therefore food is in bigger portion, and the plating seems nicer (I guess), and you know what? It ends up being cheaper. For the whole table. Best value/quality for Cantonese Chinese food in Reading I have tried! Keep on the good work! The food is beautiful, not too oily, not overly sweet with cornstarch sauce, not overly rely on the dreaded “sweet and sour sauce” (that’s not a good representation of Chinese food) and most of all, definitely the quality is not like those take away Chinese food shops! Please try this for yourself! You get what you pay for! And actually it’s not much more expensive. It is not busy at all at most times and I think it is underrated. The atmosphere was good , it’s very neat , clean and comfortable. I was chatting with a waitress who was friendly and also come from Hong Kong. I came multiple times with my family and friends, and will definitely try other dishes.

feidhlim oneill Came for Sunday lunch, great food and drinks, welcoming unpretentious staff. Will come back.

Piyali Goswami Visited Bagaara yesterday for the first time and was impressed. The starters were well made, the mango lassi was outstanding, and the biryani had great flavour and heat. Service was quick, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended.

Farrukh Hussain Basingstoke has quite a few Indian restaurants, but Spices & Spirits is easily one of my top three and my go-to spot for reliable, high-quality Indian food. Their Nali Gosht and lamb chops are absolutely top notch rich, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. It’s no surprise they’ve won several awards. Dined here again tonight and had a wonderful experience as always. Consistently great food and a solid choice for anyone craving Indian flavours!

Peter Barratt A Hampshire curry house with a difference, Chennai Express is a welcome change from the norm! South India style, with lovely spice mixtures, and a very varied menu, with lots of vegetarian and pescatarian options. The dosas are great - the size of a roll of wallpaper with delicious sauces and chutneys. The service is great too, and theres an eclectic mix of customers in this cosy but modern little restaurant. Ill be back!

Lorraine Scott We had our family Christmas dinner here. Food and service was excellent, will definitely return
