About Us

• The name says it all for Spice Avenue, the Indian restaurant on State Street in Santa Barbara. Offering an entrancingly buoyant cuisine with a Bombay chef and the staff right out of London. The cuisines of North and South India, as well as Mughlai (Pakastani-style cooking), are a gorgeous blend of flavors: curries; spices such as cumin, fennel, coriander and cinnamon; and heats of garlic, onion giger and chilies. The lavish buffet is one of the main draws of the menu. The menu is quite extensive offering seafood, chicken, lamb and vegetarian selections. Tandoori, an Indian-style barbecue, is always popular, and for guests who can't decide, try the Mixed Grill which includes chicken, two kinds of lamb and shrimp cooked in the clay oven. Chef Samrat Bhosle began his career in Bombay and is a veteran of some of the top Indian restaurants in Los Angeles. The warmth and friendliness of the staff makes dining at Spice Avenue a truly pleasurable experience.
