Spice Restaurant Menu Review
129 Dale Rd, Matlock DE4 3LU, United Kingdom
The Spice Restaurant Menu at Matlock’s Dale Road stands as a flavorful testament to authentic Indian cuisine with a touch of modern flair. As someone who appreciates both the heritage of traditional dishes and innovative culinary twists, I found this menu refreshingly well-balanced and worth highlighting.
Starting with the starters, the Chicken Tikka and Onion Bhajis are perfectly seasoned, offering bold spice levels that satisfy without overwhelming. Their vegetarian options are particularly noteworthy-Paneer Pakora and Vegetable Samosas deliver rich textures and deep flavors, showcasing a clear understanding of authentic preparation techniques.
Main courses cover an impressive spectrum of regional Indian dishes. The menu features everything from creamy Butter Chicken to fiery Lamb Madras. I opted for the Chicken Jalfrezi, which came with a robust tomato base and just the right kick. The accompanying garlic naan was soft, smoky, and generously portioned. For those who prefer milder fare, the Korma and Pasanda options are beautifully balanced with aromatic coconut and almond sauces.
What makes the Spice Restaurant Menu stand out from competitors is the attention to customization-spice levels can be adjusted, and dietary preferences (including vegan and gluten-free options) are clearly marked. Their signature house specials, such as the Bengal Fish Curry and Chicken Shashlik, offer a unique taste experience you won't find at typical curry houses.
Portion sizes are generous, pricing is fair for the quality, and the staff’s menu knowledge adds to the overall dining experience. Whether you're dining in or ordering takeaway, the consistency in flavor and presentation is commendable.
For anyone visiting Matlock and craving vibrant, expertly prepared Indian cuisine, Spice Restaurant is a confident recommendation. The menu is versatile enough for both seasoned spice lovers and cautious first-timers.
