About Spice in the Valley

Spice in the Valley serves clean, spice-forward Indian cooking in Caversham, dialing back the heavy pool of ghee to let sharp flavors come through. Regulars come for curries that skip the usual oil slick—think tangy achari chicken and slow-simmered goat kadhai with real punch. Crisp chilly naan lands alongside tender lamb biryani, while the front lawn gives kids room to roam between bites. It stays open on Monday nights when the rest of the valley turns dark, right down to cold beers and smoky tandoori plates.

  • Clean, non-greasy curries: Rich dishes like butter chicken and achari curries rely on vibrant spicing rather than excess oil or heavy ghee.
  • Private function space: A separate back room seats 20 to 30 people and features a sound system that guests can run directly.
  • Monday dinner service: Open for dinner on Monday evenings when most neighborhood dining spots are shuttered.

    Busy for a Monday night which was good for the owners given most restaurants in the area are closed.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful details and tailored hospitality that make dining and hosting at Spice in the Valley effortless

  • Guest-Controlled Sound System in Private Function Room

    Guests hosting events in the rear separate function room (accommodating 20 to 30 people) can plug in and play their own playlist directly through the room's dedicated sound system.

  • Owner Storytelling and Personal Table Check-Ins

    Operator Richard personally greets diners at their tables, sharing background stories and introducing guests directly to co-owners and kitchen staff so newcomers feel like old friends.

  • Attentive Dietary and Recipe Customization

    The kitchen team and front-of-house readily accommodate custom requests, such as strictly omitting coriander or tailoring spice heat to individual diners without compromising curry depth.

  • Deliberate Non-Oily Curry Preparation

    Curries and biryanis are prepared with a deliberate light-cooking technique that eliminates floating oil and heavy ghee, ensuring rich flavour while staying easy on digestion.

Before you head over

Helpful advice on timing, booking private spaces, and ordering your meal.

  • Plan Ahead for Monday Dining

    While many nearby Swan Valley dining venues are shut on Mondays, Spice in the Valley is open for dinner service. Booking or arriving early (around 5:30 PM) avoids the peak evening rush.

  • Book the Back Function Room for Custom Audio

    If you are organizing a private group event of 20 to 30 guests, ask to reserve the separate rear function room, where you can connect to the room's sound system to control your own music.

  • Customize Spice Levels and Share Rice

    Portions are rich and one order of rice easily serves two people. The kitchen accommodates custom requests such as omitting fresh coriander or adjusting heat levels to your taste.
