Spice Garden uses traditional recipes that blends fresh spices and herbs from India and cooked to perfection, mostly through a "tandoor" which is a barrel-shaped open top clay oven that is fired by charcoals.

I tried some of the popular dishes at Spice Garden at The LINC and loved all the dishes. Chef Bharat Batra, the director of Focus 88 Sdn. Bhd., the company that owns and operates Spice Garden restaurants mentioned that they only use original spices and herbs without artificial coloring or perservatives. Their dishes are always freshly cooked and never reheated which can cause food to become oily. At Spice Garden, you will not need a knife to cut the meat because their meat is so tender &  soft. Some dishes take up to 6 hours to cook.

Tandoori Chicken is one of my favorite Indian dishes and this Tandoori Chicken marinated with herbs & spices, garlic & ginger was very tender and delicious! One piece is not enough for me.

It was my first time trying Venison Kebab and I really liked it because it had a very unique taste and aroma. 

All the chefs at Spice Garden were sent to India for a year to master the knowledge, skills and techniques needed for the preparation of truly authentic, Indian and Middle-Eastern cuisines. 

Chef Bharat explained that the dishes can be tailored to meet specific customers' needs such as preventing them from feeling sleepy after meals or to provide more energy. The pork-free cuisines can also be tailored to customers' preference such as nut-free, gluten-free and not too spicy. 

Fish Koliwada as its name suggest originated from the streets of Koliwada, Mumbai, India. This dish is great for those who love to eat fish. This dish was soft, boneless sea bass cooked with spices and herbs with some tomato gravy. 

I tried a very special dish, Khazana Biryani created by Chef Bharat Batra. This was cooked in whole wheat bread in charcoal tandoor which allows the heat to be evenly distributed. After it is cut open, I can smell the nice aroma of the Basmathi rice. The mutton was very succulent and juicy. Besides mutton, you can order chicken, fish, prawn or vegetable.

Clockwise from top left - Sea Bass Fish Curry, Venison Masala, Naans, Chicken Almond Gravy and Palak Paneer

My favorite was the Venison Masala because the texture of the meat was so tender  and soft. The sauce was very tasty and went well with the naan.

For dessert, I had Gulab Jamun which was nice but a little too sweet for me. 

I was happy to be able to try these Indian and Middle-Eastern cuisines at Spice Garden. It  was very memorable and I will come back again.
