Spice in Heights, a new Mediterranean kitchen in the Heights, opened this summer.
What’s on the menu
The restaurant offers shared plates that are inspired by the flavors of the Levant and North Africa. The restaurant’s menu includes mezze (shared plates) such as baba ghanoush, hummus, and falafel, as well as grilled meats, seafood and vegetable-forward dishes.
The menu was built by Executive Chef Kausik Roy, who worked in Mediterranean and North African kitchens. The menu incorporates traditional techniques, including house-marinated kabobs cooked over a grill and tagines, a popular North African stew, prepared in clay earthenware.
Other dishes include lamb shank with a fennel-coriander reduction, house-baked flatbreads with pistachio butter and chicken samosa with pine nuts and Kalamata olives. Additional items include:
- Turmeric Cauliflower
- Jacket Sweet Potato
- Halloumi & Shishito Skewers
- Seared Red Snapper
The restaurant also has a bar serving Mediterranean-inspired cocktails, a curated wine list focused on Old World producers, craft beer, spirits and non-alcoholic selections.
