House of Spice Rotorua is the Lynmore branch of the Indian restaurant group, occupying Unit 352D on Te Ngae Road. It is a genuine sit-down venue rather than a delivery kitchen: tables can be booked, a dedicated dine-in menu is offered, and the restaurant serves both lunch and dinner each day. The licensed bar supports a full evening meal, while diners may also bring wine for corkage. Its broad menu and long service window make it useful for a spontaneous curry as well as a planned dinner with several people.

The tandoor gives the first half of the menu much of its personality. Chicken tikka, seekh kebab and tandoori chicken deliver the familiar combination of yoghurt marinades, spice and high heat, while achari tikka brings mustard and fenugreek into the mix. Paneer tikka, tandoori prawns and fish tikka widen the choice beyond chicken. Mixed platters are particularly practical for a group, gathering pakora, samosa, tikka and kebab on one plate so the table can compare vegetarian and meat preparations before choosing curries.

The curry list moves deliberately between creamy, aromatic and hotter styles. Butter chicken and korma sit at the gentle end, while chicken madras uses mustard and curry leaves and lamb rogan josh draws on an onion gravy. Seafood is treated as more than an afterthought: coconut and tamarind shape the prawn Malabari, the Goan curry sets fish in a coconut gravy, and the house seafood tawa brings prawns, fish and mussels together. Diners can specify mild, medium or hot, making the range approachable without flattening every dish into the same flavour profile.

Vegetarian choice is unusually deep, stretching from slow-simmered dal makhani and chickpea channa masala to palak paneer, aloo gobi and vegetable korma. Tandoori roti, garlic naan, Peshawari naan and stuffed kulcha add their own texture, while vegetable, chicken, lamb, beef and prawn biryani can serve as complete plates. For two or more people, the dine-in banquets create a clear path through appetisers, mains, rice, naan and dessert, with separate meat and vegetarian versions. Mango kulfi or gulab jamun brings the meal to a traditional close.
