The Spice Co - Johannesburg

First, this great spice treatment was discovered on the other day and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of alternative meat options they have for vegans and vegetarians! Large collections of grains and spices to go to tastes and imagination!

The first time we walked into this quaint little restaurant, delightful scents transported me back to my childhood 42 years ago, when we used to frequent the famous spice market depicted in the film "The Mistress of Spices" starring Aishwarya Rai. This restaurant is a gem, a 15-minute getaway filled with spices, incense, a great selection of vegan dishes, and friendly service. They have a dedicated freezer for vegan options, including cakes, sausages, curries, and spring rolls. We tried their steak skewers and chicken mushroom pies, which were incredibly authentic in both texture and flavor, and we appreciated that they were generously filled. Their boerewors and boerewors rolls were also fantastic, much like their Vienna sausages. Co's has become our new favorite spot for spicy cuisine, and the always helpful vegetarian owner plans to expand the menu even further.

The first time we stumbled upon this small shop, the enticing aromas whisked me back to my days in a spice class 42 years ago, reminiscing about the Spice Path. It also reminded me of the famous film The Mistress Of Spices starring Aishwarya Rai. This place is like a dream, a quick 15-minute getaway. They offer a wide variety of spices, incense, vegan products, and provide friendly service. Their freezer is stocked with vegan treats such as cakes, sausages, curries, and mint rolls. We tried their steak animals and chicken mushroom cakes, which were incredibly authentic in both texture and taste. We appreciate that they are generous with their fillings. Their boeries were also fantastic, as were their Vienna sausages. Co has now become our go-to spot for spices, and the owner, who is always so helpful and vegetarian, is planning to go fully vegan.
