Bharat Spice's Modest Atmosphere, Rich Indian Food in IT Park

Happy Cow

Another food review I would like to publish is on Bharat Spice located in IT Park 3 Jose Maria Del Mar, Apas, Cebu City. I remembered having eaten at Cherry's the Spice before eating at this place. I was pretty much ignorant of the differences between North Indian and South Indian cooking. I tend to prefer Indian vegetable dishes so I didn't get quite a good first impression of this place. However, tasting their meat dishes such as tandoori chicken, chicken dosa, and goat rogan josh practically made me fall for this place. I also enjoyed their garlic naan which is my favorite bread from their menu. 

What makes this place unique according to proprietor Vijay Vasandani II:

Here, there is no Bollywood music blasting through speakers, no Bollywood movie posters plastered on walls, and no belly dancers. “We wanted a restaurant where you can tell it’s Indian by its food, not by a sort of caricature of what our culture is,” said Vijay Vasandani II, proprietor of Bharat Spice.

While Bollywood Tandoor was driven by the name Bollywood which is the Indian Hollywood--here it decides to try a more modest atmosphere. I was thinking about how I enjoyed weekend night dinners here at Bharat Spice. I found the absence of blasting music and dancing to be rather refreshing. I could enjoy the food with just some gentle Indian music. It was a nice pace from what Bollywood Tandoor offered during the weekends. Besides, I had a habit that after eating at Bharat--I would go to Chatime to buy some delicious fruit tea if I didn't drink their warm tea.

My recommended dishes would be mostly meat dishes. I did like some of their vegetable dishes. However, it seems their specialty would be goat and chicken. I usually referred to their goat dishes as different types of caldereta (goat stew) and their tandoori chicken as lechon manok cooked in a clay oven.
