Ministry of Spice: Indian gastronomy reinvented in Paris
At Ministry of Spice, immerse yourself in a unique culinary experience in the heart of Paris, where Indian tradition meets the audacity of modern cuisine.
In the 7th arrondissement of Paris, the Ministry of Spice restaurant offers an innovative alternative to traditional Indian gastronomy. The restaurant is a culinary jewel combining creativity and excellence, with a particular emphasis on homemade, high-quality ingredients.
A Franco-Indian culinary fusion
Far from Bollywood clichés, Ministry of Spice focuses on contemporary gastronomy that blends Indian flavors with French techniques. The menu, renewed every season, is packed with refined dishes such as Fish Tikka Masala, a marinated and seasoned cod cooked in an Indian oven with masala sauce, or Pistachio-Brocoli, with pistachio sauce.
For fans of traditional dishes, Nihari, a lamb mouse simmered in a homemade spicy sauce, is a taste experience not to be missed. Vegetarians, meanwhile, will be delighted by Dal Makhani, a dish of lentils simmered overnight, rich in flavor.
An experience beyond taste
What sets Ministry of Spice apart is its warm, intimate atmosphere. From the moment you enter, a painting of a majestic elephant and a pared-down décor transport you to a chic, soothing setting, where blue and gray tones blend with elegant lighting fixtures.
Every detail of the restaurant reflects the owners’ passion for craftsmanship and excellence. From the dishes to the tea bags to the gilded frescoes, everything is designed to offer a unique and authentic experience.
A constantly evolving map
With a market menu that changes every three months, every visit to Ministry of Spice is a discovery. Among the most popular creations are Lamb Joshallo, pieces of lamb simmered with whole spices, and Fish Tikka Masala, a delicately seasoned cod cooked in an Indian oven.
To round off your meal, let yourself be tempted by an original dessert such as rice pudding flavored with cardamom, or handcrafted sorbets with exotic flavors.
A must-see
In just two years, Ministry of Spice has established itself as a benchmark for avant-garde Indian gastronomy in Paris. This contemporary fusion restaurant captivates with its ability to reinvent flavors while respecting the very essence of Indian cuisine.
