The Spice Curry Kitchen is a Hardy Street restaurant where a table meal and an order to take home are given equal attention. Diners can reserve ahead, settle into the casual room or use the outdoor seating when conditions suit, while delivery and collection cover evenings at home. A bar on site adds another option for people building a more leisurely lunch or dinner around the food.

Its menu reaches beyond a single style of curry. North Indian favourites sit beside biryani, breads from the tandoor, Indo-Chinese dishes and momo, creating several ways to structure a meal. Diners can begin with grilled or fried starters, choose individual curries with rice, and bring dumplings or fried rice into the centre, giving a varied group plenty of combinations without making every plate follow the same pattern.

The opening section covers familiar vegetarian choices such as vegetable samosa, onion bhaji and paneer pakora, all suited to sharing before the mains arrive. Chicken 65 supplies a sharper, fried contrast, while tandoori chicken brings the dry heat and char of the clay oven. Naan and other tandoori breads can then bridge those starters with the saucier dishes that follow.

Among the curries, butter chicken and tikka masala provide well-known starting points, while chicken dhansak, chicken Malabari and lamb kadai move in different directions through lentils, sauces and spice combinations. Dal fry and palak paneer give vegetarian diners substantial mains of their own. Chicken biryani, jhol momo and the Indo-Chinese selection ensure that rice dishes, dumplings and stir-fried flavours remain part of the choice rather than an afterthought.
