Le Mercury, N1

Great french food 4*

Rik L. says:

For some reason, I'd always thought that Le Mercury was an expensive French restaurant. I don't know why, maybe to do with the rather nice exterior and being situated bang in the middle of Upper Street. When I checked out the prices, I knew that I had to go in! It's a great idea to price all main courses (and starters too) at the same cost, and at only £6.45 for a main, it's great value for money.

I ordered the tilapia with couscous and fruit. When it arrived, it didn't look too great, but it tasted delicious. The combination of tangerine segments and fish may not have sounded too nice, it worked particularly well.

We managed to get two sets of starters, mains and side vegetables for under £30, which is an absolute bargain. Definitely worth going.

The Angel Curry Centre, N1

Currytastic! Highly Recommended! 5*

Rik L. says:

I like curry. You only have to look at me to know that. I also like trying out curry houses, and the Angel Curry Center is the one I keep going back to again and again. Let's not pretend the food is nouveau Indian cuisine or anything. It's not. It is, however, a great British curry, which would easily beat anything on Brick Lane. The staff are frighteningly nice - usually they give me free poppadoms with my takeaway, sometimes free poppadoms and drinks while I wait for my takeaway. The price is very reasonable too, usually can get 2 meals with sides for about £16, which is an absolute bargain once you realise how good the food actually is. If you're eating in the restaurant, then it's a good idea to go and bring some alcohol drinks along as they don't sell them, but there's plenty of off-licenses on Chapel Market, so that's not a worry. If you want a curry tonight, do yourself a favour. Go here.
