Our take: Logan Square’s curry kingdom: The Spice Room turns up the heat and takes no prisoners. Bring a crisp beer to douse the flames – you’re in for a spicy ride.

Wine Pairing: Spicy cuisine begs for a slightly sweet wine. Try a Moscato d'Asti or an off-dry Riesling. For red, a juicy Zinfandel can stand up to the heat.

Beer Pairing: A wheat beer like Hoegaarden complements Indian spices nicely. For a bolder choice, try a hoppy IPA to cut through rich curries.

Spirits Pairing: Whisky is popular in India. Bring a bottle of smooth Scotch like Glenmorangie 10 or, for a local twist, try Amrut Fusion Indian Single Malt.
