Where Heritage
Meets the Horizon.
Born from a desire to bring the ancient, sun-drenched spice trails of the Indian Ocean to the heart of Melbourne.
The Alchemy of
a Thousand Spices
Founded in 2024, Thousand Spices isn’t just a name-it’s our commitment. We believe that every dish tells a story of geography, trade, and tradition.
Our kitchen is a laboratory of flavor where we hand-grind our masalas daily, sourcing sustainable ingredients from local Australian farmers and rare spices from ethical growers across the spice coast.
"We don't just serve food; we serve memories of a land where the air smells of cinnamon and the sea."
Chef Anura Wijesinghe
With over two decades of experience in Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe and traditional hearths in Sri Lanka, Chef Anura brings a technical precision to soulful, rustic flavors.
