"There are far fewer Indian restaurants, as opposed to takeaways, local to us. Sometimes you just would rather eat out. We gave Spice Island a try and it did not disappoint: the Onion Bhajis were crisp, spicy and light and, speaking of light, the Nan Bread was amongst the lightest we have ever known delightful! The Dansak was spicy yet still had that essential sweetness while my personal 'acid test ', the Chicken Vindaloo was hot but not mental, the chicken nicely cooked and the potatoes not over present up there with the best. Service was good but not obsequious and the decor rather smart. We reckon to go to Spice Island at least once a month from now on."

Very slow service, rowdy patrons (one table full of loud drunk lads) and very difficult to pay as their card machine was broken. It took 1.5hrs to get our food and they didn't even bring all of the starters. They seem to prioritize take-away orders over dining patrons.

Please do not eat here firstly they double charged us for the masala sauce when we only ordered one! The masala sauce was terrible no flavour whatsoever, the nan bread was Burnt and so tough I couldn’t chew it and the Briyani was so tasteless! Please don’t waste your money I had to throw it in the bin!

Had many fine meals here, but just waited over an hour for a plate of burnt garbage that i wouldn't feed a dog. When asked if everything was ok, i said terrible... They laughed ! Even when i showed the offending plate of rubbish. I've given this many chances, after i hour late deliveries etc... No more No wonder it's always empty

Visited this cute little restaurant on Friday I’ve been passing for years when it was a takeaway only been wanting to try for a while now We were not disappointed… The tarka Dahl is to die for .. the sizzling tandoori fish is a must !! The menu selection is on point and very reasonably priced too …. Can’t wait to return again soon

Had a peaceful Monday evening meal at this restaurant. I was on a business trip and was craving Indian food. The interior was well-maintained and modernly decorated. The food was quite good, especially the Garlic Chicken that I ordered. It had a good flavor, but I felt it could use an extra kick of spice. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the price was reasonable.

Spice Island has been a reliable local Indian takeaway for many years, with just a few tables to eat in. It closed recently for refurbishment and has re opened with more space to eat there, although they still do great takeaways with local delivery. The food is always tasty, fresh and far better than some local Indian restaurants you can really taste the spices and fresh herbs.

I had a party of 10 to cater for we ordered from Spice Island. The food arrived on time, was still very hot, and more importantly absolutely delicious. The service and customer care at Spice Island is exemplary. Spice Island claim to be the best Indian restaurant in Islington. I think they’re being too modest and would give any Indian restaurant in London a run for their money. And absolute must for great food.

"There could not have been a much better way to get my 2022 Michelin Star year up and running than with an absolutely fabulous lunch at Da Terra. The food with some new dishes and redesigned old ones was amazing , the wine pairings from sommelier Maria were perfect and the service was impeccable as always. We’ve had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant from the beginning three years ago through to the two michelin stars they have now but I would have to say that this visit just about tops them all. On saturday we arrived at Bethnal Green station and took the short walk to the town hall where you will find Da Terra. A warm welcome awaited from Jasmin before she escorted us to our now customary Table 10. Once seated over came manager Charlie for a nice chat and to offer us a complimentary glass of bubbles to welcome us back. Now to the menu where there is a choice of three tasting menu’s to which we opted for the long ten course. We started things of with the fabulous and refreshing amuse bouche called the Caipirinha based on the brazilian cocktail. This led us to a selection of snacks that were simply delicious. A Cod Croquette , Beef Tacos , Taleggio Doughnut and a fabulous New Scallop Cup. Before we moved onto our first course it was time to select some wine to pair with the menu and I have to say that sommelier Maria came up with an absolute beauty. The Robert Sinskey 2016 Pinot Noir from the Napa Valley in California was light and fruity and just a sublime pairing. So now to start the menu of we enjoyed a stunning Arctic Char with houghton springs , courgette tucupi. This was followed by the Custard with mussel , sake kasu , trout roe , seaweed and accompanied with sea lettuce crackers that was easily one of the best dishes I’ve eaten at Da Terra. Next to arrive was the famous Chicken which had been revamped and personally I thought it was the best version to date. It came with wings , liver , feet , egg yolk onion. Now it was time for the Bread course featuring sourdough along with bone marrow and three types of butter. This led us to the Moqueca a fantastic brazilian fish stew with wild turbot , palm heart farofa and accompanied with chillies to just add a little heat to the dish. We now moved to the meat dishes which started with the fabulous Raviolo of duck , whey , watercress and smoked duck charcuterie. Then it was time for the Hereford Short Rib with crosnes , cassava , chimichurri and heavenly veal sweetbread salad. These were just another two superlative dishes to add to what we’d enjoyed throughout our lunch. Next to arrive was the cheese course called Romeo and Juliette with a goat’s cheese topped with a guava gel and a fennel cracker. This led us to the Baba with cahaca , pistachio and kaluga before finishing with the dessert of Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb with coconut and twenty five year old balsamic. I have to say the addition of coconut really enhanced this dessert to the next level. We finished with coffee , petit fours and a digestive from their drinks trolley to bring to end another outstanding visit to Da Terra. The food under the inspiration of Rafael , Mark and all the team with the combination of new and revamped dishes was simply stunning. The wine pairings from sommelier Maria were a absolute delight and the service led by manager Charlie was first class. A visit to this restaurant really is a must especially with it’s brazilian influence that your unlikely to experience anywhere else. I really can’t wait to plan my next visit. Thank You Rafael , Charlie , Mark , Maria and all the team for a truly fabulous dining experience and look forward to seeing you all again soon."
