Renowned for serving the finest Indian cuisine in Mandalay, the Spice Garden is part of Hotel by the Red Canal, a small boutique hotel with a menu that serves Burmese, Northern and Southern Indian cuisines with a focus on poultry, seafood and vegetarian dishes. Overlooking a small kidney-shaped pool and surrounded with lush green foliage, the charming restaurant is spread over two floors, framed within a teak annex with a traditional tandoor adding to the authenticity of the Spice Garden’s naan and tandoori dishes, reflecting the owner’s Indian heritage. Cooking classes led by the resident chefs are also offered for those staying in Mandalay longer than just a couple of days.
