Indian cuisine emphasizes complex spice blends, tandoor-cooked breads, and rich curries, while Himalayan food features lighter preparations like steamed momos, thukpa (noodle soup), and more subtle spicing. At SPICE ROOM, we serve both traditions side by side — explore our Himalayan specialties and full Indian menu.

Momos are Himalayan-style dumplings — seasoned chicken or vegetables wrapped in thin dough and steamed until tender. At SPICE ROOM, our momos are hand-folded daily and served with a spicy tomato-sesame chutney (achar). They're one of our most popular appetizers. Learn more about our momos.

Both are creamy tomato-based curries, but butter chicken uses a richer, butter-heavy sauce with a touch of sweetness, while tikka masala has a more robust, spice-forward flavor. At SPICE ROOM, both are made from scratch — try them side by side to taste the difference. View our menu.

Biryani is a fragrant layered rice dish made with basmati rice, aromatic spices, saffron, and your choice of protein. At SPICE ROOM, we make it tawa-style — marinated meat and saffron basmati tossed and finished on a blazing-hot tawa (flat iron griddle) rather than the more common Hyderabadi sealed-pot dum method, giving the rice a faintly smoky aroma. Available in chicken, lamb, goat, and vegetable. See all biryani options.
