The short answer

BeBe Spice: what visitors should know first

A sensible stop for Indian families who miss dal and naan. Spinach lists a short weekly schedule, so confirm opening days before you walk over, and ask how each dish is cooked if you avoid meat, onion, garlic, egg or dairy.

Why it matters

Why BeBe Spice is worth your time

Pai's food is mostly Northern Thai, with fish sauce and shrimp paste in many dishes that look vegetarian. That makes a kitchen that cooks Indian staples a practical anchor for a family trip: you can eat familiar lentils, potato and spinach dishes without negotiating every ingredient.

The listing sits on Spinach, a vegan directory, which is useful but a secondary source rather than the restaurant's own menu. Treat its diet details as unconfirmed, and use it to plan one or two comfortable meals around the days you would otherwise struggle to find something you recognise.

Plan your visit

How to experience it

Start with what Spinach says people order: dhal makhani, saag aloo, bombay aloo, subzi curry, achari aubergine and vegetable rogan josh.

Most Indian visitors will want to know what is made with meat, egg, dairy, onion and garlic. We did not find a statement that the restaurant is pure vegetarian, vegan or that it makes Jain food, so treat every dish as unconfirmed on those points and say clearly what you cannot eat. A short, direct conversation at the table is better than assuming.

The restaurant also runs Thai and Indian cooking classes according to Spinach, which could suit a family wanting an hour with the cook rather than only a meal. Class days, prices and group size were not listed, so ask when you visit.

Plan with confidence

Small checks that make a better meal.

  • Confirm opening days before you go
  • Say plainly if you avoid onion, garlic or dairy
  • Ask about the cooking class when you arrive
  • Carry cash in case cards are not accepted
