Hanmer Springs · Since 2024

The spices of home, at the foot of the alps

Tandoori grills over flaming charcoal, curries left to simmer until the spices soften, and naan pulled fresh from the oven — a few steps from the thermal pools.

Our Kitchen

Cooked the long way, every time

Every curry starts the same way it does in a home kitchen in northern India — whole spices bloomed in hot oil, onions taken slowly to gold, tomatoes cooked down until they lose their edge. Nothing is rushed and nothing comes out of a jar.

Charcoal tandoor

Tikka, kebabs and naan cooked over live flame in a clay oven — never a grill plate.

Spice, your way

Six heat levels from mild through to extra hot. Tell us where you sit and we'll cook to it.

On Conical Hill Road

A short walk from the thermal pools, in the middle of the village.

Chillies, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon and dried herbs laid out in wooden bowls
