Indian Spice Dunedin is a family-run North East Valley restaurant with roots reaching back to 2003. Chef-owner Sahib Singh established it around the cooking of northern India, and the long-standing North Road dining room remains the centre of the business. Guests can eat in with licensed or BYO drinks, while takeaway, delivery and private catering extend the same kitchen beyond the restaurant.
The tandoor shapes much of the opening choice. Chicken tikka is marinated before being roasted on skewers, tandoori chicken brings a deeper char, and seekh kebab adds spiced mince and herbs. Vegetable samosa and onion bhaji supply meat-free alternatives, while a mixed platter gathers several starters together for diners who would rather sample across the section than commit to one preparation.
Curries range across chicken, lamb, beef, seafood and vegetables, so the meal can move from familiar creamy gravies to dishes with more spice or sharper aromatics. Butter chicken and tikka masala share the menu with kadhai chicken and lamb rogan josh, while dal makhani gives slow-cooked lentils a central role. Biryani, basmati rice and tandoori breads make it straightforward to build a complete table around those sauces.
The restaurant can adjust dishes for gluten-free, vegan or dairy-free needs when asked, a useful detail for groups with mixed requirements. Mango lassi offers a cooling accompaniment to the spices, and gulab jamun provides a traditional sweet finish. With children's choices, full dine-in service and several ways to order away from the dining room, Indian Spice works for both a planned family meal and a convenient neighbourhood dinner.
