Our journey began in Bay of Plenty, and for over 14 years, we have been serving the local community with a passion for authentic Indian cuisine. With dedication to quality and tradition, Great Spice Indian Restaurant has become a beloved spot for anyone seeking the real taste of India.
Secret Spices
At the heart of our success is the discovery of a unique blend of spices that we lovingly call the “Great Spice.” It took years of blending and experimenting to perfect this special flavour, which embodies the essence of traditional Indian cuisine with a modern twist. This signature spice blend is the cornerstone of our menu and reflects our commitment to delivering an authentic and unforgettable dining experience.
