Bengal Spice

I like BYOB restaurants. If you have to rely on the food, rather than booze, to pull the punters in that's a good thing. And the Bengal Spice is an excellent example of this. The food is superb. All the standards are on the menu. But there are lots of lesser known dishes, hat tip to my chicken Dallsha, and the staff encourage you to taste the sauce before you eat. It's a little bit in the dead space between Archway and Holloway Road station but do yourself a favour. Grab a few tins and treat yourself to dinner at Bengal Spice.

Staff super friendly and great food. They advised us what to take it worked. Home-made dishes

Authentic Bengali dishes bursting with flavor. The welcoming staff offer great recommendations, ensuring a delightful culinary experience. Don't miss out on this flavorful gem in the heart of London! A keeper

This must be the only restaurant that charges for the spice! Everyone who eat Bangladeshi or Indian food surely like their food being spicy! Ok no one didn’t force me to order but it’s ridiculous that you end up paying £9 for the side dish because they charge £1 for spicy and £1 for Balti?! My side dish was shockingly small and still lacked flavour even after additionally paying for it! Atmosphere in the restaurant was so tense, there is no music and it’s weirdly quiet. P.S. At least customers are warned that food is cooked in GMO soya oil

Great food with suggestions given for our party by the waiter. He knew the menu very well and each of our party was very pleased with the recommendation.

Quality of food doesn’t justify the price. I ordered spicy and received bland food in small portions. Chef maybe had a bad day but that’s not my problem.

Great meal at Bengal Spice, food was fantastic and so was service. The person who served us was knowledgeable and recommended dishes for us which we all enjoyed. Plenty of vegan options including rices, breads, mains and sides.

Great value local restaurant. The food is great and the staff are always friendly and helpful. I'm lactose intolerant and they are really good at helping me choose diary free options. Bonus is that they are BYO which helps keep the cost very reasonable.
