Spices in Islington

The best Indian take away iv had. The food was amazing, flavoursome & great value. It's Valentine's Day, aka the busiest night ever for take out food and the delivery came in under 45 minutes. The guy on the phone was very polite and welcoming. Perfect from start to finish. Thank you and we will be back!

Owner is an experience and Bangladeshi food is authentic and delightful over regular curries. Note that the owner has now moved to Bengal Spice (taken over from previous owners and turned into his place) on Holloway Rd.

I've been going here for over 8 years on my regular trips through London. Food always very reasonable and excellent. If you're not sure what to try, ask Ali the owner to make something to your personal preference.Can get very busy though, so service can sometimes be a little slow, but nothing some good company doesn't fix!

Simply the best curry I've eaten in central London. Everything is freshly cooked, so don't expect to be served quickly – this food is worth taking your time over.

This place is insanely good value - very no frills, but the food is fresh and tasty. The set menu for £10.95 offers excellent value, as does the Tastecard offer (at around £8 a main, IMHO it's still good value even without these discounts). It' also BYO, making it the perfect choice for when we want to catch-up, not be rushed and enjoy good food & wine on a budget. Highly recommend as an Islington Cheap Eat.

Went to Spices last night as it was close to home and I fancied Indian, WOW such amazingly tasty, fresh and delicious food!The owner is so knowledgable and will even combine certain dishes on the menu to make you a unique dish suitable to your tastes, he wants to make sure you enjoy every bite and we sure did!This place is well worth he visit honestly the best indian /Bengal food in London- Skip Brick Lane THIS is the place!! Our group were blown away with the food and we all said we had not eaten better elsewhere!We will be back many many times!

This place is a hidden gem right in the centre of Angel, five minutes walk from the tube station but a figurative mile away from the expensive chain restaurants and cafes of Upper Street. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful, a big personality and always makes you very welcome. The food is outstanding and, importantly, offers a lot of unusual and really authentic dishes - all at very very good prices (ones that don't seem to have changed for years!). BYO is the icing on the cake - you can have an awesome meal for four for about a tenner each, bargain.

Spices has become one of my favourite Indian restaurants in London. The owner is passionate about his food, and is more than happy to walk you through the menu to help pick dishes based on your taste preferences.They are also very accommodating to vegans, and happy to make sure there is no glee or other dairy in your dishes.Definitely worth checking out

We really enjoyed this place first time and have now made it our regular local Indian. The head chef has been happy every time to speak steer us away from British curry with lots of sugar and towards his home style cooking. Lebu Bengal lamb dish was excellent.

The chef/owner talks to every customer to make sure you order a curry specifically suited to you talking about the kind of flavours you like and how hot you like your chillies. Then when the food is ready they let you taste the sauce and you can decide whether it is right and send it back if it needs more or less heat. It really is an incredible service and one that would be great to see at other curry houses.The curries are very fresh and light, not the greasy kind you'd find on Brick Lane.The typical British/Indian curries are available but this is a Bangladeshi restaurant and so do be brave and venture beyond the boring Korma/Tikka Masala to the Bangladeshi specialties.If you're in Angel and you are looking for a curry this is the place to go.
