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.
