Essence N Spice | Our Story

A Bronx kitchen rooted in Indian heritage
EssencenSpice was built on recipes passed down through generations and spices that awaken the soul — bringing the warmth of true Indian home cooking to the Bronx.
Recipes rooted in tradition
Long before there was a kitchen on East 174th Street, there were generations of cooks, spice blends, and family recipes handed down with care. That heritage is the foundation of everything we make.

A menu with range and soul
From buttery curries and fragrant biryanis to bold Indo-Chinese favorites and Andhra street-style specialties, our menu is as wide as it is deep. We keep growing — because great Indian cooking never runs out of stories to tell.
Cooking made for sharing
The best meals are shared ones — which is why we cater party orders for gatherings of every size. From weeknight dinners to full-on celebrations, we cook with the same care either way.
Fresh, homemade, authentic
Three words sum up everything we stand for: fresh, homemade, authentic. Every plate leaves our kitchen made to bring the essence of India to your table.
