About This Dish
Every great Indian meal begins with starters that awaken the palate. At SPICE ROOM, our appetizer menu showcases the incredible diversity of Indian cuisine – from North Indian tandoori kebabs to South Indian fritters and Himalayan dumplings.
Our kitchen prepares each appetizer fresh to order. Vegetable Samosas are hand-folded and fried until perfectly golden. Onion Bhajis are crispy, crunchy, and irresistible. Paneer Tikka is marinated in spiced yogurt and charred in our tandoor. Chicken 65, a fiery South Indian classic, delivers bold heat and crunch in every bite.
Whether you're sharing starters with friends or building a meal from small plates, our appetizers deliver authentic Indian flavors with the quality and care that defines SPICE ROOM.
