Spice of Life

Part of popular family of modern Indian restaurants, the Spice of Life on Argyle Street (behind Hillhead station) is as engaging as the name suggests. The place really comes into its own at night, when illustrative murals take on a new interest as an imaginative spectrum of lights subtly change the scene. To get the most out of the Spice of Life, most regulars have a pre-dinner cocktail in the bar before ascending to the balcony for a curry feast, where booths and tables for two provide wonderfully cosy spaces for couples, lovers and friends. Being close to both Byres Road and Glasgow city centre, diners tend to be a genuine mix. The food is good, classic, affordable Glasgow curry stuff, with the 16 most popular dishes listed together so you don't have to trawl all three pages of the menu.
