About Planet Spice

The kitchen has built a strong reputation for home-style curries spanning both South and North Indian cooking. The menu ranges from classics such as butter chicken and rogan josh to changing specials like Kerala duck and tandoori green chilli chicken, with vegan options available. The restaurant is fully licensed.
