Got Spice?

Recently I was the guest of friends at a new “hole in the wall” Indian restaurant tucked between a nail salon and a Dry Cleaner in Mission Oaks – a warm, friendly corner of Camarillo.

SPICE AVENUE is unique in that it offers about 10 tables to parties of 2 or 4 – the owner, Sandy Pujji greets his guests with a warm hand shake (or a hug if you are a repeat customer) and for a freshman restaurant of about 2 months, the place has quite a draw for dinner.

Being a novice to Indian food, although I like almost every ethnic specialty, we decided to allow Sandy to determine our destiny in dining this evening.  It began with a scrumptious potato appetizer, partnered with two side dipping sauces – one with cilantro and herbs, the other a sweeter sauce.   This was followed by an outstanding “flat bread” of sorts – one with garlic and herbs and the second with rosemary and oil.   The entrée presented three different choices, chicken, shrimp and a tofu spinach – all were enjoyable to the taste buds – but the real surprise was Sandy’s flair with wines.   The ability to offer a wine that mixes well with curry and spice made the entire experience very memorable.

We’ll definitely return:  SPICE Avenue – is located in the Chase Bank Shopping Center at Woodcreek and Mission Oaks Boulevard  in Camarillo.
