Spice Indian Restaurant Wexford

Review

Wexford Town is going from strength to strength in the food satkes in recent years, and this excellent Indian restaurant is one more reason to choose Wexford \Town as a great place to eat.

Spice Indian Restaurant was opened in 2006 by Richard and Emma Lett and is situated on Monck Street, over the Crown Bar. Spice is beautifully decorated in a style that lends itself to being both contemporary and warm, with rich vivid colours of ruby, green, gold, crimson and purple, all inspired by the Indian colonial era.

The menu’s are designed with an emphasis on refined yet creative Indian cuisine incorporating both traditional classic Indian favorites and original ‘signature’ dishes that blend Eastern flavours with a Western ‘twist’. The kitchen is run by two experienced Indian chefs, both from the Kerala region in the south of the Indian sub-continent and they were formerly employed at the 5 star ‘Taj’ group.

Their dishes are prepared with both conviction and a strong held belief that Indian cuisine is not about ‘heat’ but more about a marriage of fine aromatic fresh herbs and spices. You will find a mixture of the tradional Indian dishes, and some more contemporary offerings, and the end result is very good food at reasonable prices. The wine list enjoys a very fair mark-up, with about a dozen wines at €20 or less, and the house wine is only €16.50 a bottle, which is also available in a half bottle or by the glass.

‘Spice’ seats 56 people and is open nightly from 5.30pm (5pm Fri & Sat) for both in-house dining and take-away service. Lunchtime dining is available on Sundays from 12.30pm onwards.
