The food was packed with flavor, and the biryani portion was massive--not sure if it was a family size, but it could have easily been a full meal on its own. They were kind enough to let us stream the Texas game on the TV, which made the experience even better. Overall, probably some of the best Indian food we've had in the area. Thank you for your hospitality! We dined on a Saturday evening around 6 pm.

Have you ever walked into an ethnic spot, looked around and saw nothing but people of that culture?…read moreTHAT'S EXACTLY what happened to me when I came here with the fam. It was a little intimidating but mostly exciting. The vibe here was mostly straight business. Waiters standing around like in a military stance, legs shoulder width apart, hands behind their backs waiting for any signs from their tables needing anything. I will keep it 100 and say that our waiter wasn't exactly warm and inviting but they were attentive. The atmosphere is decorated ornately and kinda made me feel like an emperor of sorts, or at least some random squire in the court. We ordered an absolute feast ranging from chicken tikka masala, to garlic naan, rice, samosas, a fresh mango yogurt drink and some flavored tea. Everything was delicious and jam packed with spices. This was one of the few restaurant experiences I've had in the past couple years where I gorged beyond my usual limit bc it was THAT good. My one minor complaint is the chicken tikka masala was more sauce than actual chicken which I found somewhat annoying but I quickly forgave them. The bill came soon after I requested it and the price was fair considering the quality of food we got was top notch. This place has got it going on like a fine lady from Beverly Hills but as you'd expect some attitude from a gorgeous lass that knows she's got it going on, the same can be said for a great restaurant. Ignore the 'tude and come enjoy the grub, it's worth it.

Our office ordered Spice for lunch today and was really feeling some saag paneer. It's become my go…read moreto dish to order at Indian restaurants because I can make ok butter chicken/tikka masala at home, but this is something I have yet to master. The saag paneer is definitely more concentrated spinach than others that I have had, but it's plenty flavorful, without the spinach flavor being overwhelming. You'll need some rice/naan to go down with it and the naan has great chew. Sop it all up! They do a fine rendition of all the food, so it definitely hits the spot. I keep thinking because I'm eating vegetarian, I won't feel heavy afterwords, but I guess that's not true. Oh well, nothing like an afternoon nap.

Do I recommend this restaurant, despite its delicious cuisine and affordable prices? That's a hard…read moreNO. Spice Fine Indian Cuisine is a diamond (surely some of the best Indian food I have eaten in Austin) ... or a chunk of coal. Let me put it another way... I waited to see if I got sick before I wrote this review. For perspective, I grew up in Mexico. I'm not easily frightened away, but I can spot red flags. First thought upon arrival: "So glad I checked their health score on Yelp." See Spice Fine Indian Cuisine (95 out of 100). Upon closer inspection, Spice Fine Indian Cuisine (aka AG's Spice, aka Pushpa) has an abysmal record. In fact, this restaurant is simultaneously operating under three different names and has three different Yelp pages. Please see my photos to review their Food Establishment Inspection Scores from Austin's Open Data Portal. A score of 58 just last year would be considered poor and would indicate that the restaurant has had multiple critical violations, such as issues with food handling, storage, or cleanliness. In Texas, the lowest health rating a restaurant can receive is an F, or a score of 70 or below. This is a travesty, because the food really, truly was delicious, and their offerings are fascinating. If this place were truly cleaned up, it could easily become the toast of the town... it was that good. They specialize in Hyderabad cuisine- something I know nothing about - but they also serve many of American's favorite dishes, such as curry, or Tikka Masala. Red flags: - The man who came to our table to "check" on us was so unkempt that it was remarkable. His hair had not seen shampoo for a very long time. I speculate that he was one or all of the following: owner, manager, chef. - Tables and menus had been wiped clean with a very greasy cloth or sponge. The glass top was streaked everywhere. - Bits of dried old food on supposedly clean dishes (we were handed a stack of dinner plates, and two of them had them). I imagine that they use an industrial dishwasher, so I wasn't alarmed. Still... - We were the only people in the place for two hours (5-7pm) on a Saturday, which happened to be the restaurant's Happy Hour, according to their website. - A very dead potted plant right next to reception. - Three restaurant name changes? - We were seated in a booth which was not flush against the wall. In the crack, I spotted a fork, a newspaper and a wadded tissue.

I wish the sauce had been spicy so I could have been hit with more flavor. I think this restaurant is new, so they are still getting used to cooking new dishes. I would try this again in a few months when more people are ordering and asking for stronger flavors.

This isn't your typical restaurant. You need to place your order in advance by calling or texting (512) 909-9826. I called at 3:40 pm and my order was ready for pickup at 7:45 pm. They used to have a food truck at the Anderson Mill Food Truck Court, but they recently moved to a new location. If you're trying to find this place, I would suggest navigating to Balcones Bingo (13096 N US 183 Highway Svc Rd, Austin, TX 78750) and driving around to the back of the building, where you will see suite #104. Apple Maps took me to the wrong location, so I'd suggest using Google Maps.

I told the front counter lady.. that I'm just going to see the menu and their offerings! she smiled and was okay about it. I told her we'll definitely come here next time! As I was looking at the photos I saw some good pictures of pani puri. I asked her, "is it possible to taste a tiny sample / a spoonful of just the pani puri WATER...??" For me, only the taste of the "tangy spicy water" decides if the pani puri is good. I waited for her response in a delightful hope, .... But she flat out declined. She said. "No. We don't do samples." I said - Thank you! And I Walked away. I thought to myself, 1. what would a spoonful of pani puri water have costed the restaurant? 2. Also, how many customers are actually walking in everyday asking to taste pani puri water? She could have just been polite or kind enough to indulge me even if it was a silly thing to ask! And she could have gained a big group of customers right away!! It's so sad. She was very shortsighted in her customer service and hospitality :(( And it wasn't like that the place was extremely busy. It's truly unfortunate and sad. Anyway. I won't be going there. All my friends are aghast at the terrible response! They won't be visiting this restaurant just for this poor hospitality. It's not worth it.

The ambiance is basically a grocery store...but had a side eatery. It's not Michelin Star glitz and glamour by any means, but my god, the FLAVOR of everything is off the charts. From puff pastries to the stuffing of the Dosas. The service was nice and quick, and to be fair one of the best sambars I have tasted. My only gripe is that I wish they would more of that Masala filling in the dosa, and perhaps mash it flatter as it was sort of like chunks of potatoes. It was quick inexpensive, and on the top of my list .
