"After the market closes, Chapel Market road may seem deserted, but if you venture further along the road, you'll come across Spices, a hidden gem. Upon arriving, we were warmly greeted by Ali. Although the restaurant was empty, the takeout staff were busy fulfilling orders, which was a good sign. We took a seat and perused the extensive menu, seeking Ali's advice on what to order. I wanted something new and satisfying for my pescetarian diet, so Ali guided me through the various spices and sauce options to create the perfect meal. My companion also asked for Ali's recommendations for North Asian flavors. We started with delicious garlic naan bread, followed by Lebu and samosas. For our main courses, we enjoyed Moris Masala, mixed veg Bathi, pilau rice, more naan, and another fish dish. The service was excellent, and I even took a takeout menu as Ali offers delivery to my area. I will definitely be ordering from Spices again. The meal was both flavorful and fulfilling, making it hard to leave. Although the restaurant wasn't very busy, it would be a great spot for group reservations, provided the chef can handle the online orders, phone orders, and dine-in customers."

A great place to go with friends or that special someone. A cozy neighborhood spot where Ali, the owner and chef takes your order and recommends the best complimentary dishes. The food is fresh, delicious and always great. One of my favorite London restaurants.

If you go to Spices you are in for a treat. The food is delicious the staff are fun, informative and helpful and they take pride in the taste and quality of their food. They asked me what flavors we wanted for the evening and recommended curry's to go along with it. I love food and I love curry, so go to Spices.

Enjoyed an informal meal here with friends. Warm friendly welcome from the owner/host who is very enthusiastic about their food it's actually Bangladeshi but there's a lot of cross over with dishes from various parts of India. All cooked fresh and had some interesting options, what you might expect from a home cooked meal. Recommend this restaurant for good value, quality food and the warm ambience.

Whenever we're back in London we always make a point of going to Spices, an off the beaten track no frills super amazing fresh tasty authentic Bangla/Indian restaurant. The food is never oily and always cooked to perfection whereby you can still taste the individual ingredients. For chillie lovers, try the chillie chapatis with a medium (instead of hot) curries. They're very delicate with just the right amount of finely chopped green chillie. Forget wannabe can't wait to throw you out Tayyabs in Whitechapel and instead come here and be served and advised by Ali, the no nonsense owner.

This may look like your standard curry house but don't be mistaken. When we arrived the place was empty, we were asked if we had booked, luckily we had. No more than half an hour later they were turning people away, always a good sign. We had been there about a year ago and had really liked the food but wondered if it was still as good, it wasn't.........it was better. The owner(? clearly believes in his own food and for good reason, its rare to come across a place with the right balance of price and quality. If you want something hotter or cooked differently, not a problem, as they will take care of it or recommend something that you will probably like. It's BYOB so that is always a plus, g...

I've returned to Spices countless times, with friends, spouse, parents and friends' parents. The owner, Ali, is always welcoming and swift to advise (and admonish! us with menu choices. He actively encourages sampling and if you're not happy with a flavour he will happily add/remove chilies/spinach/tomato. The food is always exquisitely fresh and flavoursome; the puffy puri starters are top notch, although the pakora was a bit over fried and crispy. The main course curries (and there are plenty to choose from are consistently fresh and extremely tasty. The only downside is the length of time service takes (whether they're full or empty : be prepared to settle in for a whole evening, as it wi...
