Spice Trail Chatt

Our take on a classic “fish and chips”, but much lighter and more delicious in our opinion. Seasonal fish in a crispy chickpea batter, served with cilantro mint chutney and tamarind water (in lieu of vinegar). Gluten free, dairy free. Available during dinner, and we offer a sandwich version during lunch!

We never did an official thank you from our wine dinner in April in partnership with Pedestrian Wine & Cheese. We are grateful to have met some new faces and also share the table with some of our friends and regulars. We took special care to build our dishes around the wines selected by Bill and Toby and we are thankful for their partnership and open-mindedness. Stay tuned for more events later this summer!

The Champaran Lamb Shank is slow-braised with mustard oil, ginger-garlic paste, onion, and aromatic spices, served over sweet pulao. A dish that takes its time but is so rewarding. Gluten free. Dinner only.

This is Maddi, our Beverage Director. She joined our team in 2024 and has built a bar program that does two things exceptionally well: it stands on its own, and it makes the food even better. Every cocktail on our menu exists because of her curiosity and care. We're really glad she's here.

Two slow-cooking traditions in one dish. The duck is confited, then finished varuval-style — a South Indian method that coats the meat in toasted spice until it’s deeply savory and nearly dry. Upma, sweet tomato chutney, pickled orange peel, toasted pecan. Dinner only.

The Spice Trail kitchen is growing! We’re looking for a morning prep cook and an evening line cook to add to our crew. Pay is competitive and reflects the experience you bring. Ready to be part of something delicious? DM us or email [email protected]

Meet Lan. She joined our team in 2023 and has been a steady, essential presence ever since. As our Sous Chef, she keeps the kitchen prepared and running with care every single day. We’re really grateful for her!
