About SPICE MIX- Indian, Nepalese & Halal Restaurant Melbourne

Run by a Nepalese family in Brunswick East, this Lygon Street dining room delivers vibrant Himalayan and Indian cooking dialed precisely to your dietary needs. Coeliacs and diners avoiding onion and garlic eat here with total peace of mind—the kitchen makes sauces from scratch to order rather than relying on batch gravies. Regulars know to ask host Hari for guidance, pairing spiced goat curry and flaky parathas with handmade jhol momos bathed in a zesty sesame-tomato broth. You call the heat level on every dish, from a mellow simmer to a serious punch.

  • Strict dietary customization: The kitchen prepares scratch-cooked curries tailored for coeliac, vegetarian, and no-onion/no-garlic diners without cross-contact risk.
  • Indian and Nepalese dual kitchen: Extensive menu bridges North Indian tandoori and curries with authentic Nepalese steamed and jhol momos.
  • Owner-guided spice calibration: Host Hari actively guides choices and customizes chili levels for each plate to match individual tolerances.

Why Diners Choose Spice Mix

Authentic Indian and Nepalese cuisine crafted for every dietary need and gathering

  • Strict Dietary and Allergy Customization

    The kitchen freshly tailors curries and traditional specialties to accommodate severe allergies, coeliac requirements, and specific dietary needs like no onion or garlic.

    Food is spectacular and staff are incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating for dietary requirements (I’m gluten-free coeliac and vegetarian - they also offer no onion/no garlic).

    Kate Flynn

  • Dual Regional Indian and Nepalese Menu

    Alongside classic regional curries, diners can order authentic Himalayan and Nepalese dishes including freshly prepared momos and jhol momos.

    We had the jhol momos, dahl makani, malai kofta, and Kerala paratha. Everything was amazing! Delicious!

  • Worry-Free Dining for Coeliacs

    Diners with strict coeliac requirements and food sensitivities experience genuine confidence dining out knowing allergen safety is taken seriously.

    They cater for coeliacs and other allergy requests, as a coeliac I’ve never had an issue or reaction afterwards.

    Whether organizing a staff dinner or catering a milestone celebration, group hosts find broad menu flexibility that satisfies varied palates seamlessly.

    The food was incredible, generously portioned and a huge hit with everyone. They were so helpful organising what to get to cater for everyone as well.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering dietary-specific dishes, calibrating spice levels, and visiting during dinner hours

  • Pre-arrange strict allergy and allium-free orders

    Notify the kitchen early in the afternoon on the day of your visit if you require allium-free meals, or speak with the staff when ordering to tailor dishes safely for coeliac, gluten-free, and vegan diets.

  • Ask the host for dish and spice guidance

    The extensive menu can feel overwhelming at first glance; consult the owner, Hari, directly for dish pairings and customized spice calibrations tailored to your table.

  • Plan around evening-only dinner hours

    The venue is open exclusively for dinner service in the evenings, so plan your dine-in visits and group takeaways accordingly.
