Regional Thali
Balanced selection of small plates representing a region—dal, sabzi, chutney, rice, roti, and dessert.
Our Menu
At SpiceRoute Foods we craft menus that celebrate regional India while remaining approachable for everyday dining and events. Our menu is organized around balanced plates, with options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-aware diets, plus protein-forward specials. Seasonal rotations highlight fresh produce and preserve traditional techniques—slow-cooked biryanis, fermented batters for dosas, coastal curries with coconut and tamarind, and comforting North Indian gravies. Each dish includes clear ingredient notes and portion guidance to help you choose the right option for meals or catering. We offer single-serve orders, thalis for variety, and platters suitable for sharing at events. Our chefs focus on depth of flavor through whole spices and time-tested layering methods, not heavy use of additives. Whether ordering a weekday lunch or planning a menu for a wedding, expect honest provenance and consistent execution.
Menu Categories
We group dishes by tradition and occasion to make selection simple. The 'Regional Thalis' section offers curated plates representing a particular cuisine with accompaniments and a dessert. 'Signature Biryanis' highlights slow-cooked rice dishes from different regions with precise layering of spices and saffron. 'Coastal Curries' features fish and vegetable curries with tangy tamarind and coconut bases. 'Street Classics' translates beloved snacks and small plates into refined presentations suitable for events and tasting menus. 'Vegetarian & Vegan' showcases hearty plant-based options using lentils, vegetables, and paneer alternatives. Each category includes chef-recommended pairings and portion advice for single orders and event servicing. We also provide allergen and spice-level indicators so guests with restrictions can make informed choices. For large orders we supply reheating and serving instructions to preserve flavor integrity.
Signature Dishes & Chef Picks
Our signature selections reflect slow techniques and precise spice balance. The Hyderabadi Biryani uses aged basmati, saffron, and clarified butter with layered marination and controlled steam finish. The Coastal Meen Curry relies on fresh, sustainable catch with roasted coconut masala and tamarind for brightness. For vegetarian highlights, our Malabar Vegetable Stew celebrates coconut-scented simmering and delicate spice. Each signature dish is recommended with a side pairing and portion suggestion so hosts can plan plating and quantities. For events, chefs can demonstrate a live carving or final tempering to add a memorable sensory element while maintaining food-safety best practices. Seasonal specials appear each month based on local produce and festivals, and we archive seasonal menus for returning clients looking for continuity in recurring orders.
