A little about this place
About Spice Hut
Spice Hut is a small, family-run Pakistani restaurant in Hunterhorn Plaza at 6554 4 Street NE, cooking in the same spot since 2004. Butter chicken, chicken and lamb vindaloo, seekh kebab and mixed grill platters sit alongside biryani, haleem, nihari, chicken tikka, fish pakora, tarka daal, chana daal and muttar paneer, with naan and roti baked in a clay tandoor where you can watch them being made.
The daily lunch special, a large plate of curry, rice and naan for around $10, is the deal most people mention. The dining room was renovated in 2026, with new seating, lighting and decor, and much of the trade is takeout. Spice levels run from mild to properly hot, and the owner greets many people by name.

What people enjoy
- Butter chicken, vindaloo, seekh kebab, biryani and tandoor-baked naan are full of flavour, with heat that ranges from mild to properly spicy.
- Prices are low for the portion, and the daily lunch special, a big plate for about $10, is especially good value.
- The owner and staff are warm and welcoming, and service is quick.
Things to keep in mind
- Some recent meals fell short, with kebabs and curries served reheated, burnt or lacking flavour.
