About Temple Of Spices Indian + Vegan Restaurant

Temple of Spices delivers North Indian cooking in Mermaid Beach, pairing traditional clay-oven tandoor craft and slow-simmered meat curries with a dedicated vegan menu. The kitchen handles mixed tables with ease, ladling out rich vegan korma, tangy lamb Malabar, and crisp samosa chaat without relying on dairy heavy-handedness. Freshly baked garlic naans emerge blistered and soft to scoop up vibrant house gravies. Dining runs casual and lively under Indian soundtracks, leaving diners to linger over creamy mango kulfi.

  • Parallel Vegan & Omnivore Menus: A dedicated plant-based bill of fare runs parallel to traditional meat dishes, catering smoothly to mixed tables and dairy-free diners.
  • Street Chaat & Regional Curries: Crisp samosa chaat, papdi chaat, and tangy lamb Malabar anchor a lineup rooted in Punjabi and regional specialties.
  • Casual Feast Environment: Generous portions pair with blistered tandoori flatbreads, saffron rice, and house sweets in a colorful Gold Coast setting.
