The Bottom Line

Spice Kraft JLT is a pure-vegetarian Indian restaurant in Jumeirah Lake Towers, useful for diners who want more than a standard curry menu. The reviews cover North Indian food, chaat, Indo-Chinese dishes, breakfast and Jain customisation. For a first order, tandoori dhokla is the most distinctive suggestion: one reviewer described soft dhokla cubes coated in tandoori marinade and grilled, while another liked it with green chutney.

Punjabi thali is another popular route for trying several dishes at once, though portion expectations need checking. The setting is a genuine part of the appeal. There are indoor tables, outdoor seating and lake views, and reviewers have enjoyed breakfast or evening meals outside when the weather was comfortable.

Lassi also receives repeated praise, and the breakfast deal has included poori bhaji, parantha chole, poha, masala tea and lassi. Catering has produced some strong event experiences, including on-time buffet arrangements and hot food service, but it has not been consistent. A recent Iftar order was late, partly cold and missing a plated dish, while another customer reported an unexplained 35AED bill addition.

Check the bill, confirm catering timings and ask about thali portions before ordering. The restaurant is cosy rather than spacious, so larger groups may want to confirm seating in advance.
