For starters we ordered SpiceKlub Palak Chat, Papdi Chat, Chole Kulcha and Taquidos (from Quattro), for mains we got the Baked Bhindi Chatpatta and Veg Kohlapuri and for dessert we got the Tres Leches (From Quattro). Apart from the dessert which was a little underwhelming every other dish was really tasty and up to the mark! Special call out to our server Joel who was really good at suggesting dishes and explaining them as well as took care of our special requests as one of us is vegan. Would definitely love to go back here.”October 2021

Try starters. Start with the inventive appetisers; one reviewer found them more compelling than the main-course selection.
Ask about vegan. Ask what can be customised for vegan diners; recent feedback specifically notes improved flexibility.
Reserve ahead. Reserve a table if you want the SpiceKlub seating rather than being placed in the adjoining Vega restaurant.
Check spice level. If you prefer mild food, mention it when ordering; one group had spices controlled for low spice tolerance.
Allow time. Build in extra time for preparation and service rather than treating this as a quick meal.
Use nearby parking. Look for RTA parking outside or paid street parking around the restaurant.

Some diners felt prices were high for the portions, with one review calling out the value directly.
Tables can feel cramped, with limited privacy and room noise echoing around the dining area.
A few reviews mention slower service, so this may not suit a rushed meal.
Not every dish lands equally: one diner disliked several soups and starters and left before the main course.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

“While we had a big bill, it costed us around 64 AED per person, making it a delicious, affordable, high quality meal”Google review · July 2026
The Bottom Line
SpiceKlub is a pure-vegetarian modern Indian restaurant in Al Mankhool, aimed at diners who want familiar flavours presented in less familiar ways. The menu leans into playful fusion and molecular-gastronomy techniques rather than straightforward curry-house cooking. Pav bhaji fondue, pani puri served with test tubes, and creatively plated chaats are among the dishes visitors mention most often.
The experience is strongest when you embrace the presentation. Reviews describe liquid nitrogen, smoke effects and interactive plating, with desserts such as Flower Pot, bubbling kulfi and smoked mango ice cream providing a theatrical finish. The colourful interiors, music and seating work well for family dinners, birthdays and meals with friends, and staff are often praised for explaining dishes and accommodating preferences.
Vegan options and customisations have also become more flexible according to one recent review. There are trade-offs. Several diners found the pricing high for the portion sizes, while others considered the quantities generous.
Tables can sit close together and the room may echo, and some visits reported slow service or dishes that missed expectations. Ask about spice levels and vegan substitutions, and consider reserving ahead. Parking is available around the restaurant, including RTA parking outside according to one visitor.
