Cafe Spice is one of the best-known cafes on campus and is one of my favourite places not only to get Indian food on campus, but anywhere in Melbourne.
Although some of the curries that are served inside change every couple of days there are few fixed dishes that I heartily recommend: the butter chicken is phenomenal, the dhal with some saffron rice is healthy and satisfying and the vegetable samosas are a meal all in themselves.
There are a few fridges down the back that have the usual soft drinks and water. I recommend getting a cold bottle of water if you haven't got any on you - the curries are hot and nothing beats water to wash them down.
Cafe Spice can get very busy so be prepared to wait a little while but the service is pretty efficient, if a little rushed. Occasionally I have seen the staff behind the counter make the wrong combo but if that happens then just politely remind them what you ordered - they'll fix it up in no time. read more
