The House Of Spice

In Shanklin, The House Of Spice has quietly become the address for Indian cooking that doesn't cut corners. Locals know it for curries that arrive with real depth of flavour, and a tandoori section that treats its charcoal oven with proper respect. It’s not about gimmicks here—this is proper, satisfying food that knows exactly what it’s doing.

The menu leans into the classics with a confident hand. Think rich, slow-cooked curries where the spices sing rather than shout, and tandoori dishes that come out charred and juicy from the clay oven. The chicken tikka masala is a benchmark dish here, creamy and balanced, while the lamb rogan josh delivers the kind of deep, warming heat you want on a chilly evening. For something more fiery, the vindaloo is properly done—no shortcuts. Order online for delivery or collection, and you’ll understand why this place has such a steady local reputation.
