House of Spice Fraser Cove is the Tauranga South branch of a restaurant group that has served Rotorua and Tauranga for more than a decade. Its home-style Indian cooking is offered in a relaxed dining room at Fraser Cove Shopping Centre, with table bookings, takeaway and delivery giving the branch a life beyond the shopping trip. The menu is built for both an individual curry-and-rice meal and a shared dinner that moves through tandoori starters, several sauces, breads and dessert.
The tandoor creates a varied opening course. Chicken tikka and tandoori chicken use different cuts, while seekh kebab brings seasoned mince to the skewer. Malai tikka softens its chicken marinade with yoghurt, cashews, white pepper and cheese, and fish tikka takes a brighter lemon-led direction. Tandoori prawns and paneer tikka give seafood and vegetarian diners their own path through the clay oven. Mixed platters make those contrasts easy to explore without ordering every starter separately, especially for a table beginning with several appetites to satisfy.
Curries stretch well beyond one house gravy. Butter chicken and korma lean creamy, Madras uses mustard and curry leaves, and saag moves chicken, lamb or beef into spinach. Dhansak brings lentils into the sauce, while rogan josh and vindaloo offer different kinds of warmth. Seafood has a particularly useful range: prawn Malabari combines coconut and tamarind, Goan fish curry uses tomato and coconut, and the seafood tawa gathers prawns, fish and mussels into one buttery, coconut-laced dish. That section gives seafood equal weight with the meat curries.
Vegetarian choices include slow-simmered daal makhni, aloo gobi, channa masala, vegetable korma and several paneer curries. Garlic naan, peshwari naan, keema naan and layered paratha provide different breads for carrying those sauces, while chicken, lamb, beef, prawn and vegetable biryani offer self-contained rice meals. Mango kulfi and gulab jamun finish on a traditional sweet note. For groups, dine-in banquets combine starters, a choice of curries, rice, naan and dessert, turning the menu's breadth into a more manageable shared progression.
