About this restaurant

Lively
Romantic
Hot spot

Named after the bird that populates nearly every port along the ancient maritime spice routes, Spice Finch pays homage to a passerine that does not sing, yet is known to vocalize or chirp in recognition of good eats. We are inspired by the distinctive flavors of the nations bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and heavily influenced by the cultures and culinary traditions of Morocco and Greece. Our menu is a bold, seasonally accurate menu featuring an array of small plates, vegetables, grilled meats and fish.

Cozy and elegant dining experience with comfortable banquets and a large center bar. The atmosphere is pleasantly calm, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. We started with delicious green hummus, pita, and fresh vegetables. Our mains, chili chicken thighs with basmati rice, asparagus, and beets, were well-seasoned and balanced. The semolina custard dessert was a subtle, sweet finish to a fantastic meal. With great food and attentive staff, this place is true gem.

This was our second visit along with my kids and father to celebrate birthday dinner. The service felt very reactive and I wanted to highlight few incidents 1. We were 5 guests and only 3 champagne glasses were on the table and we required 4. We had to wait for atleast 5 minutes before the glaas was served, in the meanwhile 3 champagne glasses were filled with the wine and we weee waiting for over 5 minutes to take our first drink 2. The dirty/ used plates were on our table almost most of the time and we had to remind to clear the used plates. Even after the table was full of food plates we expected that the used plates be removed 3. The service left me wanting for more and even though the server was pleasant and spoke well they were surely very reactive and I would really want this to improve Hope this helps
