Spice City is an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant at 18 Stanley Street in central Liverpool. Trading since 2006, it sits close to Liverpool ONE, the waterfront and Mathew Street, with a warm dining room for dates, family meals, work gatherings and evenings in the city centre.

The menu spans freshly cooked curries, biryani and dishes from the clay oven. Chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, king prawn balti and a tandoori mixed grill sit alongside house specialities that draw more directly on Bangladeshi flavours and ingredients.

Street food adds a lighter, more informal route through the menu, including pani puri, dhal puri, samosa chaat and vada pav. Vegetarian dishes such as saag paneer, vegetable jalfrezi and dal tarka combine with rice, naan and starters to create a varied meal for a mixed table.

The restaurant states that its meat is sourced from certified halal suppliers, and takeaway and delivery are available alongside table reservations. Vegan and gluten free choices are represented, but guests with allergies should confirm ingredients and preparation methods with staff before ordering.

Address: 18 Stanley Street, Liverpool L1 6AF, England
