Spice Mantra

College Court's tucked away enough that Spice Mantra feels like it's been yours to discover. Inside, it's warm but unfussy—the kind of place where the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing without needing to shout about it. You'll find the usual suspects done properly (the biryanis are genuinely good), but it's worth asking what the kitchen's actually excited about cooking that day. People keep coming back for the balance: food that's got real depth to it, service that actually remembers you're there, and prices that don't require you to remortgage. It's become exactly what the city needed—somewhere between your mate's dinner party and proper restaurant cooking.
