Spice Trader

In East London, Spice Trader charts a delicious course through the subcontinent, with a menu steeped in Indian and Pakistani traditions. From the tandoor’s kiss to slow-simmered curries, it promises a journey of smoke, heat and fragrance tailored to every appetite.

Openings might bring Duck Tikka with barbecued edges or Tandoori Lamb Chops glazed by the grill’s dry heat. Curries range from the gentle lull of Chicken Korma to the brisk stride of Chicken Madras and the full-throttle rush of Vindaloo. Greens come to the fore in Sag Gosht and Saag Prawn, while biryani delivers spice-laced comfort. House favourites like Duck Tikka Masala and Chicken or Lamb Tikka Bhuna layer almonds, coconut and cream into velvety depths, eagerly scooped with naan or a simple chapatti.

With familiar classics alongside bolder plates, Spice Trader suits unhurried suppers, convivial catch-ups and everything in between. Choose your pace, from mellow to fiery, and let the tandoor set the rhythm. Book a table, gather your favourites, and trade the ordinary for the aromatic — a little spice goes a long way.
