Why it matters
Why Spices Indian Restaurant and Store is worth your time
Thapae Road sits on the main route between the gate, the moat and the Sunday walking street, so an Indian kitchen here is easy to fit into a day of walking. Homestyle bread is the dish many Indian travellers miss in Thailand.
The roundup gives the address and menu but no history, so we cannot say when it opened. It is a practical stop rather than a destination, and the value is that a stuffed paratha and chapati breakfast is within a few minutes of the gate. Check the shop hours separately from the kitchen.

How to experience it
Spices is listed at 94 Thapae Road, a short walk from Tha Phae Gate. A travel roundup describes homestyle North Indian cooking, with vegetable samosas, stuffed parathas and handmade chapatis, and notes that it is vegetarian-friendly. The name also points to a store, so you may find Indian groceries alongside the kitchen; confirm what is stocked before relying on it.
Parathas and chapatis make this a sensible stop for a morning or midday meal when you want bread and curd or a simple curry rather than a heavy sauce. Ask which fillings are used and whether any contain egg or onion.
A sensible order for two is a stuffed paratha, a vegetable curry and a samosa to share. Say clearly if anyone needs a no-onion or no-garlic version.
