Review of Spice Up Your Life
09 Apr 08, 11:28
Canteen seating. Classy food. 
Spice Up Your Life sits in the indoor part of St Nicholas market fighting it out for the luchtime crowd with the myriad of street food vendors it neighbours. OK so it's not going to win any awards for it's setting. You either buy into that kind of thing or not. Me, I think the canteen style tables in chairs inside and the plastic garden furniture outside are part and parcel of the boho St Nicks scene. However even if you are more used to plush surroundings, don't let those expectations put you off eating at this little marvel. The food is a revelation. And a bargain. I normally go for the " two meat special" - that's two meat dishes (did I need to spell that out?), rice and a poppadom for less than £6. There are normally around 3 or 4 meat choices and 2 or 3 vegge ones plus the usual selection of sides. And it's all so so tasty. Your expectations are confounded when you find it better than most bricks and mortar curry houses. The options are more interesting (more authentic?) so don't necessarily expect to see your usual menu suspects here. The only thing I would say is ask the proprieter how hot each dish is before you order if that is a worry for you. They can be quite fiery for a lunchtime.
