Tucson’s Best Lunch Deal: Everything You Need to Know About Spice Garden’s $12.99 Lunch Special Combo

If you’re searching for the best lunch deal in Tucson, Arizona, look no further. At Spice Garden Indian Cuisine, we believe that a great midday meal shouldn’t cost a fortune — and it shouldn’t taste like one either. Our legendary $12.99 Lunch Special Combo is Tucson’s most talked-about weekday feast, and today we’re breaking down exactly what makes it so irresistible.

What Is the Spice Garden Lunch Special Combo?

The Spice Garden Lunch Special is a fully customizable Indian thali-style meal designed for those who want a satisfying, authentic, and quick midday experience. For just $12.99, you get to build your own combo by choosing from three categories — a curry bowl, a dal, and naan bread. Then we serve it alongside fluffy Basmati rice, creating a complete and balanced Indian feast.

This isn’t a stripped-down “lunch menu” with smaller portions. This is the real deal — the same rich sauces, the same freshly baked naan, and the same bold flavors that Spice Garden is known for throughout Tucson and Marana.
