Spices Bengal is a local gem - a wonderful old school, no frills curry house. Originally on Chapel Market in Islington the rent rises eventually pushed them out of town after around 16 years in the same spot. Now located on Holloway Road, the restaurant will no longer benefit from its bustling location in Angel, but for those hunting out a decent eat, its definitely worth the short bus ride to Holloway. The food is excellent and represents really good value. Its BYO too so its kind on the pocket. And with any BYO, they can't rely on the drinks mark up to stay afloat so the food has to be second to none. My only grievance is that the lighting can be a bit bright -- but that's hardly a biggie when starters, delicious mains and sides plus a lovely bottle of plonk (from the offie - and you can splurge a bit when the food is so cheap) delivers a tasty Friday night dinner with friends for around £20 a head. This place doesn't have the decor, the fancy drinks - or the benefit of being located in a high footfall area anymore - but it smashes it out of the park with its excellent food. Totally recommend.
