Spice 72

Start with the Clay Oven

The tandoor is Spice 72's most important piece of equipment, and the lamb chops are its most important output. Marinated for a minimum of 24 hours in house-ground spices, yogurt, ginger, and garlic, then fired at extreme heat until the exterior chars and caramelises while the interior stays pull-apart tender — they are, without qualification, some of the finest lamb chops in the Lower Mainland. Order them. Order extras. The Chicken Tikka follows the same philosophy: boneless pieces soaked in a yogurt-and-spice blend, fired in the tandoor until the outside shatters with a faint char and the inside stays impossibly moist. Served sizzling on a cast iron plate, they arrive at the table still crackling. The Seekh Kebab — hand-formed, spiced minced lamb cooked on the skewer — is similarly outstanding: the meat has texture, the spicing is layered, and the smokiness from the clay wall is unmistakable.

The Dishes You Must Order

• Butter Chicken

  Slow-reduced tomato and cream base, hand-ground spice blend, finished with fenugreek. Richer, more complex, and more deeply flavoured than anything else on 72nd Ave.

• Lamb Chops

  24-hour spiced marinade, clay-fired until charred outside and rosy-tender inside. The definitive Spice 72 dish.

• Chicken Tikka Sizzler

  Tandoor-fired chunks on a searing cast iron plate. Arrives at the table with a sizzle and a column of aromatic steam.

• Biryani

  Dum-style, long-grain basmati cooked in a sealed vessel so the rice steams in its own spiced broth. The grains stay separate. The depth is real.

• Pav Bhaji

  A Mumbai street-food classic done with precision: spiced vegetable mash, toasted butter-basted buns, raw onion, a squeeze of lime. Bright, bold, satisfying.

• Aloo Gobi

  Dry-cooked cauliflower and potato with cumin, turmeric, and coriander. Simple, honest, deeply good. The benchmark for a kitchen's restraint.

• Gulab Jamun Cake

  Spice 72's signature dessert: the classic syrup-soaked dumpling reimagined as a pastry. The only way to end the meal.

The Cocktail Program

One of the defining qualities of Spice 72 — the thing that makes it Surrey's best Indian restaurant rather than simply Surrey's best Indian food — is the bar. The cocktail program is built with the same intention as the kitchen: house-made syrups, fresh-squeezed citrus, premium base spirits, and drinks that are designed to sit alongside spiced food without competing with it. Happy Hour: Daily 3–6 PM. Discounted cocktails, bar bites, and half-price bottles of wine every Tuesday. Walk-ins welcome.

• Lychee Martini

  Clean, slightly floral, with a clean finish that cuts through heat beautifully.

• Whiskey Sour

  Made with fresh lemon and a touch of spiced simple syrup that echoes the kitchen's spice vocabulary without overpowering.
