About Temple Of Spices Indian + Vegan Restaurant

A dedicated plant-based kitchen shares billing with traditional tandoor and curry craft in Mermaid Beach. Groups split easily across vegan butter chicken, tender lamb cutlets in tangy Malabar curry, and freshly blistered garlic naan without compromising richness. The kitchen adapts seamlessly for dairy intolerances, turning out coconut-rich gravies and street chaat with zero fuss. Meals wind down over spiced mango kulfi and house lassis.

  • Dedicated Parallel Vegan Menu: A complete plant-based kitchen operates alongside traditional meat dishes, turning out dairy-free butter chicken and korma.
  • Regional Curries & Chaat: The kitchen stretches beyond standard curries with tangy Lamb Malabar, goat curries, and crispy samosa chaat.

  • Distinct Regional Curries and Coastal Flavors

    Distinctive regional offerings like coastal Lamb Malabar curry and street chaat expand beyond standard suburban Indian takeaway staples.

    Malabar tastes creamy and a little tangy, making it my favourite type of Indian curry now.

    They were able to add chicken to the vegan sauce - and its the best meal I've eaten since becoming dairy free.
