Spice Bazaar Sets Expansion Opening Date

WESTFIELD, NJ - Spice Bazaar’s success in Westfield has afforded them the opportunity to expand into a new location, right down the street from their original one, and they are set to serve customers starting June 10.

“Spice Bazaar will no longer be known as casual dining as we have designed a more vibrant environment, making it into Modern Indian Dining” said one of Spice Bazaar’s owners, Simran Bakshi.

According to owners, Spice Bazaar’s new venue at 39 Elm Street will give New Jersey restaurant go-ers an opportunity to experience Indian delicacies in a way that’s never been done before. The restaurant will put a twist on the typical dining experience by providing tableside shows led by their chefs. Spice Bazaar now has the opportunity to seat more people and keep things as flavorful as ever, right in front of you, owners said.

By creating an interactive show while people eat, Simran and Kanika Vij-Bakshi said they will be bringing the modern era of Indian cuisine to Westfield. What started as a fun side investment by two foodies became a passion for bringing unique food to Westfield, they said.

The interior has a lounge-like feel, beautiful chandeliers, and elegant and chíc decor. Spice Bazaar has truly upgraded, the owners said.

"The goal of Spice Bazaar is to push the culinary envelope to a more modern interpretation of Indian cuisine,” Vij-Bakshi said.

Owners said dishes at Spice Bazaar will include Indian flavors that can’t be found anywhere else in New Jersey with an upgraded menu that will include new selections such as, guava oysters, pineapple avocado tacos and spiced pork ribs.

It will also include an interactive dessert, named The Chocolate Ball Smash, a chocolate, that will be garnished directly in front of you and blasted as you indulge.
