From aromatic curries and tandoori delights to vegetarian wonders and regional treasures, The Spice Table’s menu is a love letter to Indian cuisine especially its North Indian heart.

Here are five dishes you absolutely must try, each one featured proudly on the menu:

Murgh Makhani

This is no ordinary butter chicken. The murgh makhani at Motel Shiraz has held its ground for over 50 years. Tandoori-grilled chicken is folded into a velvety tomato-butter gravy, perfectly balanced with cream and spice. It’s not just a dish, it’s a legacy. Timeless, comforting, and irreplaceable.

Mutton champaran

Also known as Ahuna Mutton, this dish hails from Bihar’s Champaran region. What makes it unforgettable? It’s marinated in mustard oil, garlic, onions, and spices, then slow-cooked in a sealed earthen pot (handi) without a drop of added water. The result: melt-in-the-mouth meat with an intense, smoky aroma. Rustic and regal.

Subz Khada Masala

This dish wears its spices like a crown. Chunky vegetables are tossed with whole Indian spices, delivering bold flavors and delightful textures. It’s not a dish you’ll find just anywhere, The Spice Table is known for creating its own originals, and Subz Khada Masala is one such gem. A testament to the restaurant’s commitment to authenticity and innovation, this dish is a proud North Indian signature.

Kashmiri rogan josh

This isn’t just lamb in curry, it’s poetry from the valleys. Tender meat slow-cooked in a deep red Kashmiri sauce, infused with saffron, fennel, and dry ginger. Each bite tastes like the comfort of a Kashmiri winter evening, even under the blazing Bhopal sun.

Paneer dum pukht

A vegetarian delight, done the royal way. The paneer here is slow-cooked in the traditional dum pukht style, sealed in a handi and simmered over gentle heat. The result? Creamy, aromatic cubes of paneer that have soaked up the essence of herbs and spices. Rich, elegant, and deeply satisfying this dish proves that vegetarian fare can be just as luxurious.
