Had the most spectacular Kothu Poratha! A full on meal and the chicken pakora too, not stingy with portions and had a good depth of flavour across the board! Definitely recommend giving them a shot!

Reviews
I recently tried the Lamb Shank and it was absolutely outstanding. The meat was perfectly cooked — fall-off-the-bone tender — and infused with deep, aromatic Indian spices. The gravy was rich, layered with flavors of slow-cooked onions, tomatoes, and a hint of cardamom and clove that gave it an authentic touch.
Read on Google MapsWe went to Spice of Alba after a long journey searching for a mandhi spot and found this restaurant. Food was really great and the portion was also good for the money. Staff were so friendly especially the receptionist. There were 4 different sauces with the mandhi and the kanthari chutney was excellent, but mayonnaise could have been bit more better but fine. Only downside I find was there’s no dine in but they said they are going to start dine in soon.
Read on Google MapsAmazing selection for vegetarians, can add paneer cheese instead of meat on all dishes. Restaurant quality curry, thick rich sauces and beat rice I've tasted from a takeaway. Best Indian takeaway I've had in a long time 👌🏼
Read on Google MapsI tried the Fish fry and Lamb. Both are very delicious. The menu is very good with wide varieties. It's good to have a place in Bridgeton where there is authentic Indian food. The portion of food given is good for the price paid.
