The Kind of Indian Food That Actually Stays With You
A lot of restaurants describe their food as authentic. Fewer actually mean it. At Spice n Ice, the difference shows up in the details: the freshness of the ingredients, the depth of flavour in the sauces, and the fact that we'll genuinely adjust spice levels to suit you rather than just nodding and bringing out the same dish regardless.
We've been part of the Port Adelaide community for a long time, and the locals who've been coming back regularly aren't doing so out of habit. They come back because the food is consistently good and the welcome feels genuine. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, you'll find a team that actually wants your meal to be right.
The menu covers a wide range of Indian classics, from rich curries and tandoori dishes to vegetarian options that hold their own rather than feeling like an afterthought. Add an imported beer or a glass from our wine list, and dinner starts to feel exactly like it should.

What Spice N Ice Brings to the Table
From a quiet midweek dinner to a celebration for eighty guests, Spice n Ice has been the place Port Adelaide comes to eat well. A real clay tandoor, fresh ingredients every service, and a team that genuinely cares how your evening goes — whatever the occasion.
North Indian Restaurant
Good Indian food is not complicated to recognise. It is the kind that fills the table with warmth before anyone has taken a bite, where the aroma alone tells you something real is being cooked.
At Spice n Ice, every dish comes out of a kitchen that takes North Indian cuisine seriously. A working clay tandoor. Curries built from scratch each service. Spices used with intention, not poured from a jar. The menu runs the full range, from smoky tandoori dishes to the slow-cooked curries that North Indian cooking is known for, each one made to order every night.
This is the kind of restaurant that becomes a habit. Whether it is a Tuesday dinner or a special occasion, the food is consistent, the welcome is genuine, and the table is always worth coming back to.
A Function Venue With the Food Already Sorted
Planning a function means making a long list of decisions. At Spice n Ice, the venue and the catering are the same decision.
Our function space accommodates up to 80 guests, and everything that reaches the table comes directly from our kitchen. No external caterers to brief, no handover between separate teams, no moment where something falls through the gap. The team that looks after the room is the same team that prepares the food, and that is what makes an evening run the way a meaningful occasion should.
Wedding receptions, engagement parties, corporate dinners, milestone birthdays, christenings and anniversary celebrations are all hosted here regularly. Packages are structured clearly, and the menu is built around your guest list rather than handed to you as a fixed template.
Indian Catering That Travels Well
Not every occasion has a venue with a kitchen attached. Spice n Ice provides full-service Indian catering for events where the food needs to come to you.
The catering menu draws on the same kitchen that runs every dinner service: tandoori platters, rich curries, biryanis, freshly made breads, and a vegetarian range that gives non-meat eaters a genuine meal rather than a polite gesture. Spice levels are set to suit your guests, and the menu is shaped around your numbers and your occasion rather than applied as a default package.
Vegetarian-only catering menus are available. For corporate events, private gatherings, community functions and celebrations of any size, this is Indian catering done with the same care as everything else that comes out of our kitchen.
Indian Takeaway, Ordered Your Way
The full Spice n Ice menu is available to take home, and ordering it should be as easy as eating it.
Place your order through our website or through the free Spice n Ice app, available on the App Store and Google Play. Everything is made fresh in our kitchen from the moment your order comes through, the same dishes, the same quality, the same spice preferences honoured, whether you are eating at the table or at home.
Takeaway is available every evening from 5:00 PM. For nights when the kitchen is closer than the restaurant, your order is always a few taps away.
A Vegetarian Menu With Nothing Left to Prove
Indian cuisine has one of the most developed vegetarian cooking traditions in the world. At Spice n Ice, that tradition is treated with the respect it deserves.
The vegetarian menu is extensive, genuinely satisfying, and prepared with exactly the same care as every other dish in the kitchen. Palak paneer with its earthy depth. Chana masala with warmth that builds through the meal. Dal cooked with patience and layered spicing. Vegetable biryani fragrant enough to hold its own as the centrepiece of any table.
These are not the dishes that remain when meat is removed from the menu. They are dishes worth choosing on their own merit, and they are why vegetarian guests at Spice n Ice eat just as well as everyone else. A fully vegetarian catering menu is also available for functions and events.
Why Choose Spice n Ice
For North Indian Dining, Catering and Functions in Port Adelaide
There are plenty of places to eat. There are far fewer that get the food right, look after the room properly, and can handle a dinner for two and a celebration for eighty with equal care. Spice n Ice is one of them.
The kitchen runs on a real clay tandoor and fresh ingredients every single service. No reheated bases, no shortcuts dressed up as convenience. Every curry, every kebab, every piece of naan that reaches your table was made that evening, and it shows in the way the food tastes.
For functions and catering, the advantage is simple. The venue and the kitchen are the same operation. Up to 80 guests, fully in-house catering, one team responsible for everything from the first course to the last. No coordinating between a hired hall and an external caterer. No gaps, no handovers, no moments where the evening loses its shape.
The spice flexibility is genuine, the vegetarian menu is extensive, and the Spice n Ice app makes ordering takeaway as easy as it should be. Whatever brings you to us, the standard is the same. That is what Port Adelaide has come to expect from this table, and it is what we show up to deliver every night.
