Taj Spice Indian Restaurant & Takeaway serves St Leonards from its Heretaunga Street West dining room, combining table service with collection and delivery. The menu is expansive enough for a full evening meal but remains approachable for a curry and bread picked up on the way home. Its structure brings together familiar North Indian restaurant cooking, tandoor-fired starters, vegetarian mains, seafood, rice and breads, while a current on-licence reinforces its role as a sit-down restaurant as well as a takeaway.

The tandoor and starter selection sets up a meal with several different textures. Chicken tikka and tandoori chicken use yoghurt, paprika and garam masala before cooking, while seekh kebab brings spiced minced meat and fish pakora offers a seafood alternative. Onion bhaji and samosa cover the crisp vegetarian side, with mint and tamarind accompaniments bringing freshness and sweetness. These smaller dishes can be ordered alone or combined as a varied opening to curries, rice and naan.

Taj Spice also reaches beyond the standard curry-house sequence through its momo and Indo-Chinese dishes. Steamed or fried dumplings come with chicken or vegetable fillings, and chilli-coated versions introduce a sharper, saucier finish. Chow mein, vegetable Manchurian and samosa chaat add further contrast: noodles bring wok cooking, Manchurian supplies a savoury Indo-Chinese plate, and chaat layers samosa with chickpea curry. This breadth suits tables seeking more from an Indian meal than one sauce and a shared basket of bread.

For diners who want the classics, the menu provides meat, seafood and vegetarian curries alongside rice and an extensive bread section. The banquet format is a practical introduction for a table, moving from samosa, bhaji, seekh kebab and chicken tikka to three curries with naan, rice and poppadoms. It turns a large menu into a coherent shared progression and shows how the restaurant accommodates both individual takeaway orders and more sociable meals built around passing dishes across the table.
