"the first time in portsmouth, and just came over this caffe by turning a wrong and walking the castle road on the way to catch the coach. this caffe is located on a street with other amazing independent shops, including a few antique and quirky bric shops. When I was there, I was about to kill ten minutes too soon and I had half an hour before I had to leave. I had a look at the menu and I was pretty impressed. I don't like a cake, but I like music and I like quirky and strange and the names of the cake are so kreatiw, named after band names or songs and there are also vegan cakes and they also do cocktails and not alcoholic. and they also sell vinyl and have events. and it's a tiny room with many strange bits and music posters and film posters, dinosaurs and elders. I fell in love with this place as soon as I got in. there was so much to see, all in small places, a mish macular of everything and everything. I ordered the pink floyd cake and was offered maic, healed and gravy to go with it, but I had only the gravure and had kokosnuss tee with hafermilch (they have option). this cake was so perfect, best cake I ever had and only liked. with pebbles, scabs and pebbles had the torte a bit of a purple leaf and it was all edible. so much love to detail in this place, the little timer I got to choose the small milk bottle, the different types of cutlery. the music was great and everything felt right. the staff was very friendly and responsive. I will definitely come back here if I have more time and eat more cakes!"

"A Flavorful Journey through Indian Cuisine I recently had the pleasure of dining at Spice Merchant, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance that set the tone for an exceptional culinary adventure. The menu at Spice Merchant offers a tantalizing array of authentic Indian dishes, each bursting with vibrant flavors and aromatic spices. From traditional favorites like butter chicken and lamb rogan josh to venison and lobster curries, there's something to delight every palate. One dish that particularly stood out to me was the royal venison. The tender chunks of venison were perfectly cooked and smothered in a rich sauce that left me craving more with every bite. The garlic naan was also a highlight, perfectly fluffy and baked to perfection. The presentation of each dish was impeccable, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and commitment to quality. The flavors were well-balanced, with just the right amount of heat and spice to tantalize the taste buds without overwhelming them. In addition to the mouthwatering food, the service at Spice Merchant was top-notch. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Overall, dining here was a true culinary delight.
