It's always daunting when you move to a new area, trying to work out which takeaways and restaurants are worth a visit, so I was delighted to find Palace Spice on the second attempt at ordering a curry in Crystal Palace.
The food isn't at all greasy like you can sometimes find with Indian food, and from my experience that portions are very generous with a lot of meat in the meat dishes.
We tend to order a mixture of dishes and sides so that everyone can share and experience as many different flavours as possible. That being said, we seem to have settled on a few set dishes now: The Chicken Manchurian, a very sweet mango chicken and prawn rice, saag aloo, with a garlic naan. If you put that order in, they'd be surprised it wasn't me ordering.
As for the staff, they are incredibly friendly, always greeting me with a handshake and a smile. They remember me and what I've been up to, although thinking about it, that probably is a sign that I eat there too much!
So to summarize, the food is sublime, the service is excellent and I would thoughly recommend it to anyone. read more
