Mrs Anushree Patil is passionate about real Indian food and understands this mix of traditional and contemporary values. She has spent time with the best chefs from various parts of India to learn and understand from their experience with the best of Indian regional cuisine in restaurants, private homes, stately palaces and not least from street vendors. These have all influenced the menu at Spices and Spirits and the menu blends regional recipes and traditional ingredients with modern techniques and presentation. All dishes have an emphasis on lightness but still with all the spicing and flavour expected from an Indian meal, and organic ingredients are used where possible.

The tandoori oven is used imaginatively, not only for the obvious candidates such as chicken and lamb but also for vegetables & paneer. This menu offers many vegan dishes too. Our ethos is to offer refined and flavoursome Indian cooking with imagination, which is matched by a service that is at once friendly and highly efficient. This includes our rich Indian heritage which is at the heart of our restaurant. Elegance, good cooking, fine wines, warm service, fair pricing and an ambience which are understated yet refined, is what puts Spices & Spirits in the best Indian cuisine category.
