Spice appeal

Dec 28 2007 by Andrew Flynn, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

THE Spice of Bengal is one of the best curry houses in the area but the question is, does it cut it as a takeaway? Definitely.

I ordered a mixed kebab starter and prawn madras main. The starter came with freshly bagged salad and a small tub of sauce. It was still hot and it was the usual excellent standard.

The madras was also perfect with a generous portion of egg rice and a garlic naan. It was also incredibly well presented for a takeaway, even the rice comes complete with herbs and spices that many others don’t seem to bother with.

The highlight of the other dishes was the Jalfrazi which came complete with a chilli on top for the brave (or stupid) to eat whole. Again, the curry was superb and the serving generous.

Despite being excellent quality, however, I have a few questions. Why not simply go to the restaurant? It costs a couple of pound more, you don’t have to do any washing up, and there isn’t all the waste packaging.

If you do want to stay in though, you couldn’t make a better choice. The food is good value, the portions are large, the quality is superb, and it all comes piping hot. A definite favourite.

Five star stuff!
