A Guide to Indian Spices & Flavours
Understanding Indian spices helps you choose dishes you'll love. Cumin (jeera) brings an earthy warmth, found in our Jeera Alloo and many curry bases. Coriander seed adds a citrusy backbone to most gravies.
Garam masala — a warming blend of cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and black pepper — is added late in cooking to finish a dish with fragrance, seen in our House Classics like Purani Dilli Chicken Korma.
Kashmiri chilli gives dishes like our Kashmiri Roghan Josh their signature deep red colour with a milder heat than it looks, while fresh green chillies bring the sharper heat found in our Rajasthani Laal Maas.
If you're unsure what to order, tell our team your preferred spice level — mild, medium or hot — and flavour style, and we'll guide you to the perfect dish. Our AI chat host can also recommend dishes based on your preferences.
