🍛 Butter Chicken Benny has officially figured out Muskoka multitasking.

Settled into his Muskoka chair with the lake in view, Benny can order dinner from our new website without missing a minute of lakeside relaxation.

Your Essence favourites are now only a few taps away. Visit our website, place your order online and get right back to enjoying the moment. We’ll take care of dinner. 😉

✨ || Every story has a first frame.

These photos take us back to November 2022, when Essence of Spice had just opened its doors and we gathered for our very first social media shoot. Our official Grand Opening would not arrive until May 2023, but the dream was already in motion.

Looking back now, we remember the excitement, the nerves, the pride and the hope wrapped into those early days. We were introducing our food, our family and our vision to Gravenhurst, one plate and one guest at a time.

So much has grown since then, and our gratitude has grown right along with it. Thank you to everyone who has become part of our story.

Here’s to the first photos, the first guests and all the memories still waiting to be made!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • “Highly recommend to visit. Very satisfying food, excellent customer service. Love it. Will visit again in future during our muskoka trip. Thanks to Taanish for serving us.” - Gurjeet H.

Knowing that Essence of Spice earned a place in someone’s Muskoka memories means so much to our family. Thank you, Gurjeet, for your kind words and for giving Taanish such a thoughtful shout-out. We’re delighted that you enjoyed your meal and felt so well looked after during your visit.

We’ll be looking forward to welcoming you back with more delicious food and another warm welcome the next time your travels bring you to Muskoka!

✨🍛 Permission to Get a Little Messy!

Madan is getting hands-on in the kitchen, gloves and all, making sure every piece of chicken gets its full share of marinade and seasoning before it reaches your plate.

When it does, set the fork aside for a minute. Tear the naan, dip it deep, scoop up that Butter Chicken and savour every rich, saucy bite. We have plenty of napkins. 😉

🍞 Have You Tried Our Chicken Tikka Naan or Cheese Naan?

Go bold and savoury with our Chicken Tikka Naan, or lean into gooey comfort with the warm, melty Cheese Naan. Picking just one may be harder than it sounds. 😉

Both are available seven days a week.

Try one, try both and tell us which one wins your vote!

🍽️😍 Consider this your invitation to order far too much for the table.

Start with Aloo Tikki Chaat or Papadi Chaat, layered with crunch, tangy chutneys and bold spices. Tear into a soft, warm Naan Basket; crunch through golden Gobhi, Paneer or Vegetable Pakora; then make room for zesty Masala Fries, flaky Samosas, crispy Spring Rolls and a Papadum Platter made for dipping.

Choose a few, pass the plates and discover a new favourite with every bite.

Sharing is encouraged, but protecting the last Samosa is entirely between you and your tablemates.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • “Fantastic food, always neat to see how different Indian places have their own take on their respective dishes. This place did not disappoint!” -- Andy D.

Thank you so much, Andy! That variety is one of the things we love most about Indian cuisine. Every family and kitchen brings its own recipes, techniques and personal touches to the table, and it means a great deal to know that you enjoyed ours.

We truly appreciate your kind words and five stars. We hope to cook for you again soon!
