Deccan Spice

Deccan Spice brings a contemporary Indian dining experience to Gartner Road with a menu that stretches from tandoori appetizers to elaborate biryani pots, all served in a sleek dining room that feels more lounge than traditional Indian restaurant. The Tandoori Platter arrived as a showpiece, an assortment of marinated meats and paneer charred in the clay oven with visible smokiness and tender interiors. The Hyderabadi Goat Biryani was the evening's standout, a sealed pot of saffron-scented basmati layered with slow-cooked goat that fell apart at the touch of a spoon. What sets Deccan Spice apart is its late-night hours, with Friday and Saturday service running until one in the morning, making it one of the few Indian restaurants in the area that caters to the after-hours crowd. The Butter Chicken delivered creamy, tomato-rich comfort without the cloying sweetness that plagues lesser versions. A weekend lunch buffet provides an accessible entry point for first-time visitors who want to sample the range before committing to the full dinner menu.
