“On a evenimy when I felt like having something exquisite and different I came across few comments here speaking highly about “Champaran chicken”. I did end up ordering the super pricey item. No doubt the taste was very good and unique too. However the disappointment was real when two whole garlic knobs was found in the pot and hardly 3 cube size pieces of mutton then I wondered if I ordered mutton or garlic chmaparan. One of the garlic bunch tasted yummy which was at bottom while the top one was just hard garlic which I had to throw. So yeah, was disappointed and left unsatisfied might as well say felt cheated but I’m sure it was just a mistake may be. So quantity wise I was left unhappy else the dish in itself was lip smackin good.”

“Excellent and delicious cuisine, quite modest and sincere owners and employees. however, the service provided by the small team is terrible. The delay was terrible—it added 20 minutes for a cup of chai. I'm not sure if the owner is aware of this, and two days prior, I had a "fly" from the chai, which I reported to the supplier.”

Check Spice. Ask about spice levels: veg biryani, momos and noodles were described as mild, while chilli momos brought a spicy punch.
Confirm Portions. If ordering Champaran mutton, confirm the meat portion first; one diner found only a few small pieces in the pot.
Try Breakfast. Breakfast has included freshly fried snacks, parathas and a chole bhature platter served with dessert.
Allow Time. If chai is part of your order, allow extra time during busy periods; one review reported a 20-minute wait.
Ask Catering. For events, ask about the full buffet setup and customisable catering options before confirming your order.
Plan the visit
One diner reported a Chicken 65 biryani with stone-hard chicken and semicooked rice, so consistency may vary.
Two reviews questioned the amount of meat in Champaran dishes, including one order with mostly garlic and only a few meat pieces.
A review reported a 20-minute wait for a cup of chai, suggesting service can slow down when the small team is busy.
One diner felt the butter chicken portion was too small for its price, despite praising the taste and quick service.
One older review reported finding a fly in the chai and said it was reported to the supplier.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.
Chole bhature platter
“Chole bhature platter - Aed 16 only , served with dessert”Google review · January 2023
The Bottom Line
Spice Deli is an Indian and Pan-Asian restaurant in Jumeirah Lake Towers with a cosy dining room, takeaway service and event catering. The menu gives you plenty to explore, but the clearest starting points from customer reviews are the Mutton Champaran, chicken momos, biryanis and Indian breads. The Pan-Asian side is not an afterthought either: Thai green curry, noodles, nasi goreng and dynamite shrimp all receive individual mentions.
The strongest dish-specific praise goes to the Mutton Champaran, described as bold and rustic after being cooked in mustard oil and garlic, and to the momos, especially the kurkure and spicy versions. Portions are often described as generous, and one repeat customer specifically liked the secure, hygienic packaging for office lunches and takeaways. The setting also suits family meals and gatherings.
There are a few reasons to order thoughtfully. Biryani quality was inconsistent in one recent review, and two diners felt the Champaran meat quantity was disappointing. A past visit also involved a 20-minute wait for chai.
If you are catering, the restaurant has been used for home and outdoor events with buffet setups and customisable options. Breakfast is another useful angle: one review reported a chole bhature platter with dessert for AED 16.
