Ministry of Spice was an Indian takeaway in [[Locale Greenwich|Greenwich]]; it has now closed. As of August 2013 the premises have signage for a place called The Fusion <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/9621520732/ photo]</small>. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Indian takeaway in [[Locale Greenwich|Greenwich]]. They will deliver, and you can order online [http://hungryhouse.co.uk/ministry-of-spice from Hungry House] or [http://www.just-eat.co.uk/restaurants-ministry-of-spice from Just Eat]. They deliver to [[Locale SE16|SE16]] via Just Eat but not via Hungry House. (Oddly, there also appears to be another Indian takeaway called Massala at the same address, which is confusing.) [[Kake]] and [[doop]] tried the delivery option on a Thursday evening in November 2008. Although we're quite a distance from them, the food came on time and arrived hot. Mogul lamb chops (£2.75 for three) were fine, with decent spicing, though there was no crispy fat on them. Chingri laddoo ("spicy prawn balls", £3 for four) were a little more interesting; small prawns in a crispy gram flour batter with a hint of spicing, quite tasty, and the prawns weren't overcooked. Moving on to mains, chicken jalfrezi (£5.75) was hot enough for [[doop]] but not too hot for [[Kake]] - a miracle! doop (our jalfrezi expert) said it was fine but not outstanding. Roshun sabzee (vegetables with garlic, £3 as side dish) was bizarre, like frozen mixed vegetables (peas, sweetcorn, green beans, little cubes of carrot, shrivelled-up mushrooms) just fried for ages - wouldn't order this again. Courgette bhaji (£3 as side dish) and begun bhaji (£3) were a lot better, the courgettes and aubergines cooked just right; a fair bit of oil used in both, but not to excess, so they're not low-fat dishes, but also weren't greasy. Pilau rice (£1.55) was competent without being anything special. [[Kake]]'s verdict: If they were closer, I'd certainly give them another go - but I do feel a bit bad dragging the driver all the way from SE13 to SE16!
