Spice and Curry — Restaurant in Ontario

Although I grew up nearby in Wallaceburg, Vancouver has been my home for nearly 40 years and I've had a lot of experience with very good Indian food there. Finding Spice and Curry in Chatham a few years back was a revelation. The servers are superb and very knowledgeable about the food and the chef is outstanding. My partner and I are both vegan and there are always delicious options for us in both the regular menu and the specials menu. Neither of us are afraid of spice and every dish that we've had has been seasoned exquisitely. We've been back here at least 8 times, but this year (2018), we had a Christmas family dinner with my relatives from Wallaceburg. This was their first experience with Indian food and they were a bit apprehensive. Asking for very mild spice was the perfect option for them and they left pleasantly surprised and very satisfied whereas our chana masala and mushroom and spinach curry at a 7/10 was exactly the right level for us. This is exceptional food and well worth the trip to Chatham to enjoy it. I can't wait...

I am from out of town and I only had the chance for one dinner in the Chatham area. I was driving around, asking about sushi and whatnot when I saw the sign for Spice & Curry. I immediately pulled in and was elated to find they were still open. In I go and there I'm greeted by a lovely women and seated promptly with a menu and my choice of drink, even though I was taking it away. We had a short conversation about the food and what I might like and we came up with the Butter Chicken. As I sit, for what seemed like only a handful of minutes, a dish was brought out by the same lady who welcomed me and it was SIZZLING. I mean, like, full-on steam and smoke, still-seering-itself sizzling. It smelled incredible and absolutely filled the cozy room with anticipation and had people sitting in awe. I can't recommend this place enough and for anyone considering it...JUST GO!

Oh, and the butter...

Ive been several times, all good! I ordered a few days ago (first time since the lockdown) because I love Indian cuisine. When I was ordering with the lady, i asked who would be cooking, her or her husband, as the spice levels can be diferent depending on who cooks it. At this I was told "just because we look the same, doesnt mean we are related." I was shocked!! Honestly, how dare you!

If i went to a fish and chip shop in London, England, and the 2 people that always worked there were around the same age and a man and a woman, i would assume they were related (husband and wife) same thing with any other small restaurant!

To be accused of racism when that is not true, is (IMO) worse than being a racist. You are attributing racist motive to someone who does not hold those beliefs, and that is disgusting.

I wont be returning.

All this during a pandemic where I WANTED to support...
