The school holidays are here, and this summer we want to give families and friends across London one more reason to come together around the table.
This week we launched Worth Gathering For, our summer holiday campaign running at both Spice Village Tooting and Spice Village Southall throughout the 2026 school holidays. At the heart of it is a brand new signature dish, the Shahanshah Grill Platter, and we think you’re going to love it.
Whether you’re planning a relaxed family lunch, a catch up with friends you haven’t seen in far too long, or a proper celebration, here’s what to expect.
In simple terms, it’s a celebration of what Spice Village has always been about. Good food, generous portions made for sharing, and the kind of hospitality that makes people want to stay a little longer.
The summer holidays are one of the few times of year when families genuinely have time together. This campaign is our invitation to make those moments count, over sizzling grills, freshly baked naan and a table full of dishes everyone can dig into.
Throughout the summer, guests at both restaurants can enjoy:
The star of the summer is the Shahanshah Grill Platter, a new signature dish created especially for sharing.
Shahanshah means King of Kings, and the platter lives up to the name. It brings together a generous selection of freshly grilled favourites from our chargrill, served on one impressive tray with chutneys, fresh salad, grilled vegetables and golden fries.
We created it for guests who want the full Spice Village grill experience in one order. All the variety, all the theatre, and the bold smoky flavours our grill is known for, on a single centrepiece that arrives at the table and turns heads.
It works beautifully for family lunches during the holidays, relaxed dinners with friends, and birthdays or larger group bookings where you want something a bit special.
The Shahanshah Grill Platter is available now at both Tooting and Southall, alongside the full summer menu.
From the moment you arrive, we want a visit to Spice Village to feel like an occasion. Our interiors blend traditional influences with a modern dining experience, and there’s always colour, energy and the aroma of freshly prepared food in the room.
Just as important are the people looking after you. Our team is trained to make every guest feel welcome, whether that’s helping a family choose dishes for the table or taking care of a large group celebration from start to finish.
As one of our team put it when we launched the campaign:
“Summer is a time when families and friends have more opportunities to be together. Worth Gathering For is about making those moments count. Whether guests are joining us for a relaxed lunch, a family dinner or a special celebration, we want them to enjoy great food, genuine hospitality and an experience they will remember.”

No summer meal is complete without something refreshing alongside it. Our drinks menu features a wide range of mocktails, all colourful, all alcohol free, and ideal for warm afternoons and long summer evenings.
And then there’s our Mango Lassi. Rich, creamy and made to complement bold spices and grilled dishes, it has been a favourite with our guests for as long as we’ve been open. If you’ve never tried one with a plate of freshly grilled kebabs, this is the summer to fix that.
Worth Gathering For runs throughout the 2026 summer holidays at both restaurants.
