Spicy Food Plus. Plus what? The tastiest and freshest naan you're ever apt to taste in London, that's what!
This rather nondescript hole-in-the-wall about halfway wedged between Victoria Station and Pimlico Station, is (in the words of one well travelled foodie friend of mine) home of the best naan outside of India. Yes, this otherwise ordinary curry joint on Wilton Road has one thing going for it in spades: a tandoor in the back corner manned by a veritable artisan providing made to order naan and roti that are as delicious to watch being prepared as they are to devour!
On my last visit, Spicy Food Plus was pumping with an impressively trans-demographic array of Londoners. Between heaping bites, the well heeled business man sitting next to me, turned to his dining buddy to thank him for the brilliant idea of stopping there for lunch. Indeed, Spicy Food Plus is a wonderful lunch spot to keep in mind. I highly recommend forgoing the rice and ordering a couple of pieces of the fresh naan, then sitting back and watching it baked before your eyes.
Of course, the plain (£1.20) and garlic (£1.60) naan are delectable but, if you've been especially good and deserve a treat, go for the Keema naan. Stuffed with minced lamb this plateful of naan is packed with flavour and at a mere £2.50 is a veritable steal. And should proprietor KMA Khan take a liking to you and offer a spoonful of homemade hot sauce on the side, by all means take him up on it! Still hungry? Try the sweet Peshwari naan for £2.50.
Not to be confused with the Spicy World balti joint just up the road at 76 Wilton Street, Spicy Food Plus is a true London gem. All the ridiculously inexpensive food on the menu is full of spicy flavour and the naan is absolutely to die for! read more
