About Sanjeev' Cafe Spice

Generous, spice-driven North Indian staples hit the table piping hot at Sanjeev' Cafe Spice, backed by decades of neighborhood trust. The dining room keeps things minimal—plain tables, no tablecloths—channeling every bit of attention into robust kitchen work and fast table turns. Longtime regulars bypass the frills for fragrant tandoori chicken simmered in rich butter sauce, tender lamb saag, and blistered garlic naan pulled straight from the tandoor onto pre-warmed dinner plates.

  • Pre-warmed tableware: Dine-in curries and breads arrive on heated dinner plates, a rare casual touch that keeps meals warm throughout service.
  • Paced dinner service: Dinner orders regularly land on tables within fifteen minutes, keeping evening dining swift even during peak weekend rushes.
  • Decades-long following: A community fixture for over two decades, drawing diners back for consistently spiced curries and fresh naan.

  • Warmed Dinner Plates

    Meals are served on pre-warmed plates, preserving curry temperature throughout your meal alongside attentive table service.

    Our plates had been warmed up (my hubby's benchmark for a good Indian restaurant) and the service was quick, friendly and professional.

  • Rapid Weekend Kitchen Turnaround

    Dine-in service runs seamlessly even during high-volume Saturday dinners, getting freshly cooked meals to the table in fifteen minutes.

    From the time we were seated to food on the table was 15 minutes - pretty good for a busy Saturday night.

  • Personal Chef and Owner Engagement

    Sanjeev and his family take active pride in their cooking and connect directly with guests to ensure every dish meets expectations.

    The owner/cook came out to ask if all ok so that was a nice touch. Can only recommend.

Signature curries and freshly baked breads celebrated by longtime locals

  • Butter Chicken

    The lamb saag, chicken tikka masala and butter chicken were all delicious and flavoursome.

    Michael Smyth

  • Garlic Naan

    Had the vegetable Korma and Beef Saag Gosht with garlic naan and can recommend those dishes.

    James

  • Chicken Tikka Masala

    The chicken Tikka Masala and Bhuna Gosht are absolute winners, flavoursome, complex and rich but not blow your head off hot.

    R Chapman

  • Rogan Josh

    I enjoy the interpretations by local chefs on how to prepare say - a #roganjoshcurry and how they differ from restaurant to restaurant - state to state.
