However the service was ok simply because I had to ask the server to clean the booth it had water and drinks spilled all over it. He cleaned my side and didn't clean the other side. Until my friend came and got gum stuck to her pants. I get it this is unusual and very disrespectful from the previous diners but still I think it is the waiter responsibility to clean the table and booth after each customer. They were very apologetic and honestly didn't know how to make up for it It is always a fun experience going to this restaurant. Specially they have the cane sugar juicing machine. We ordered it and half of the restaurant was standing there watching them make it Also I tried a new style of biryani Gongura biryani it was delicious.

At the time I write my review (July 14, 2025), this new Indian restaurant in Helotes has a paltry…read moretwo-star overall rating on Yelp based on two short, non-descriptive reviews. I don't typically rate a restaurant until I've visited at least twice and had an opportunity to sample multiple items, but I'm making an exception in this case, partly because I feel that the current reviews are undeservedly harsh and lacking in detail. Despite a few odd issues, I enjoyed my visit to Spice Fine Indian Cuisine and would recommend it to anyone familiar with Indian food. Before I discuss the food (the most important aspect of any review), I need to describe this restaurant's bizarre setup. It shares the same space as Jalapeno's, a Tex-Mex restaurant that's been in business for several years. According to my server, Jalapeno's and Spice are now owned the same person (an Indian guy who doubles as the chef at Spice). My server explained to me that Jalapeno's operates with a predominantly Mexican staff until 2:30. The Indian staff then take over and open Spice at 5:30. I have no idea how that arrangement works logistically, but who am I to argue? Service was spotty at first, but the staff sorted out the issues quickly. The owner/chef seated me and handed me a small paper menu that lacked many essentials, including tandoori items. When I pointed this out, he determined that he had somehow given me the "wrong" menu. A different staff member (who turned out to be my server) then emerged from the kitchen with a much larger menu. Two of the items I wanted (vegetable pakoras and a mango lassi) were unavailable according to my server, which I found unusual. Fortunately, everything else I wanted was available, so I ordered vegetable samosas, tandoori chicken, saag paneer, and garlic naan. My server explained that the dishes would likely arrive at different times, as each item is made to order. While some customers may scoff at such a statement, I determined it to be a good omen of things to come. Fresh food is invariably worth the wait! --Vegetable samosas: 5.0/5.0 These come two to an order, though I could have eaten four, as I appreciate a tasty samosa. The potato/spice mixture was incorporated thoroughly, ensuring that every bite was bursting with flavor and capsaicin. Yes, these two bad boys bit me back! The shells were crispy unlike most samosas I've tried at Indian buffets. I still long for the enormous, transcendently delicious samosas from the now-defunct Kohinoor (my favorite desi restaurant in San Antonio), but these were excellent nonetheless. --Tandoori chicken: 4.5/5.0 The six pieces (legs and thighs) were juicy and benefitted from the charred Maillard reaction from the sizzling cast iron skillet. I could definitely taste the garam masala spice/seasoning but would have appreciated a bit more. White meat chicken tends to dry out, so I'm glad that Spice serves only dark meat. I would rate Spice's tandoori chicken above any of the Indian buffets scattered about town. --Saag paneer: 4.5/5.0 India Palace remains the undisputed king of saag paneer in San Antonio, but I enjoyed Spice's iteration, as it ramped up the capsaicin to levels that most casual diners (i.e., wussies) would find too spicy. The garam masala was incorporated properly into the ghee and spinach, and the titular paneer cheese was fresh and plentiful. The serving size was also generous: approximately 50% more than what I've received at other desi restaurants. --Garlic naan: 5.0/5.0 Spice's naan struck the perfect balance between crispy and soft. Most Indian restaurants--both buffet and full-service--include a smattering of canned chopped garlic that doesn't taste like much of anything. If you take a glance at the attached photo, you'll see that the kitchen applied a generous smear of fresh roasted garlic to every piece of my naan, which I used primarily as a vessel for the saag paneer. We need more ethnic restaurants in this part of town. We had a very good Indian restaurant called Ruby's that closed about a year ago due to poor business. Helotes already has enough boring, bland, milquetoast chains and fast-casual garbage, so let's come together to support independently owned places like Spice. Ignore the naysayers and trust the opinions of someone like me: a user with both the expressive ability and culinary acumen to review a place like this accurately.

I always order veggie samosas, butter chicken, and garlic naan. The samosas were a bit greasy but flavorful. The mint cilantro chutney was more sour than im used to and that was a common theme here. The butter chicken could have come out of the microwave, the surface had a sheen like it wasn't from the pan. It was also sour, acidic, and very thick.

Let me begin by saying that I am not somebody who usually orders food to be delivered. But, today I…read morefound myself home alone, hungry for Indian food, and feeling way too wiped out from a rough day to head out and get something. I decided to use DoorDash. The wait for the delivery was only about an hour. That was fine with me, as I had plenty of things I needed to get done before I sat down to dine. When I lifted the bundle that was left at my door, I was shocked by the weight! I don't feel like I ordered all that much, but they sure sent a lot of food. I ordered lamb vindaloo, garlic, naan, rice, and samosas. All of it was truly delicious. The large pieces of lamb meat in the vindaloo were tender and soaked with the delicious flavor of the spicy sauce. There were not as many potato chunks as meat chunks, which I consider a good thing in vindaloo. The garlic naan was some of the best I have ever had. I ordered two of them, but really didn't need the second one. They were huge. By themselves, they tasted delicious, but when you dipped it into the vindaloo sauce, it was absolutely amazing. The very first Indian food I ever had was at a dinner party in 1973 when my family was living in Taiwan. The most memorable item for me was the samosas. The ones from this restaurant we're almost exactly like I remembered. I have to also comment on how well everything was packaged. All of the containers were shrink wrapped for extra precaution. I don't think anything could've leaked even if the driver put it upside down. I am anxious to go and try eating at the actual restaurant. Somehow it was off my radar. Supposedly, it's only 4.5 miles from my home who knew?

The dinner options were either a buffet, or order straight from the menu. Since the buffet was only $15 per person and included some items we wanted to have anyways, we chose the buffet. The choices were limited in number, but enough for us. Buffet included some traditional entrees like Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Masala and several different kinds of Curry dishes. The rice and nan complimented the dish. Wifey enjoyed her meal and felt like the spice level was good enough, but I wanted something a bit more spicy. If my taste buds don't burn a little, then I feel like it is too Americanized. I understand that a buffet is prepared for the average person, but since San Antonio is already known for spicy foods, then a dish or two of a higher heat level would suffice for me. The restaurant is tucked away in a shopping center and it not real visible from the street so luckily Yelp got us here. It is however, close to Loop 1604, so it is an easy drive after exiting. Waitstaff is friendly and on point so it made the small, but comfortable indoor dining a pleasant experience. We will most likely return and fill our craving here and don't forget to have the Mango Lassi, as it was a nice way of finishing your dinner.
