Address: 1076/2 Fatehabad Road. Pinch of Spice has become a touchstone of dependable north Indian cooking in Agra — the kind of place where the dal Bukhara takes 24 hours to simmer, the kebabs are charcoal-grilled, and the table is reset for each course. The thali is the easy choice; the tandoori prawns and the malai kofta are house specialities.
Wine and beer are served. Reservations recommended; expect to pay around 1,500 rupees per head for a proper dinner. A second branch on Tajganj Road is closer to the Taj.
