My order: Filter coffee Hot Badam Milk Poori - channa masala Idly Vada Idly and Poori werent served piping hot but it was only warm! That would sum up the entire place! Channa masala was authentic. Vada was nice and crispy. Badam Milk was great.

We had to return the Hakka noodles because they were extremely spicy. The server was willing to replace it immediately. The biryani wasn't the traditional kind, but the flavors were great. We liked how everything was priced. While some other places have increased their prices by 25%~30% we walked away paying just right for 1 appetizer and 4 entrees.

No salt, no flavor on the boiled, unsalted dal. They gave no chutney, no tamarind, just green water. It was really bad. Chicken 65 was basically desi spiced popcorn chicken. Not terrible, but it needed sauce or something to bring it together. Someone later said we could've asked for sauce for this and the pani puri but if it's supposed to come with sauce, shouldn't it just come with it? We shouldn't have to ask. Chicken lollipop was actually pretty good, just a bit salty. Spice level was fine. Gobi Manchurian was also super salty but still tasted good. I'm used to this coming with a small side of rice, nothing here. Moving into the entrees, no one at the table really enjoyed their dosas. I didn't try them myself so can't fully confirm. The chicken tikka dosa was just a plain dosa with chicken tikka on the side, which felt pretty lazy. Chicken Hakka noodles were very peppery and salty. Good for a couple bites, but not something you'd want to finish. Definitely had much better Hakka noodles elsewhere in Austin. Schezwan fried rice never came out, but we were still charged for it. They did eventually make it, but by then we didn't even get to try it. Someone got Manchurian Chicken from the entree - still did not come with rice. Goat dum biryani - I only had a bite. It was decent. The one standout was the Chicken Noodles & Fried Rice Fusion. Easily the best dish of the night. Flavorful but still balanced. If I ever come back, this is what I'd order. For drinks, mango lassi was good. Sitaphal (custard apple) shake was okay. Both came in prepackaged bottles, which was kind of odd. You have a bar... why not just make them fresh? Service was rough. The waiter avoided us like crazy. At one point we had to send someone to go find him. To be fair, we weren't the easiest group to deal with, so I'll give him a bit of a pass. Also worth noting, everything except the noodle dishes came out room temp, which didn't help. Overall, just a very uneven experience. A couple decent dishes and one standout, but too many issues across food, service, and overall execution to overlook.

At the time of order itself, I had asked to make it gravy based. Order took easily 35-40 mins because of a large catering order they had. They had let me know of estimated wait at the time of order itself. Staff is humble and made the Manchurian with lot of gravy to make up the wait time. I had ordered the medium spicy level for noodles and mild for Manchurian. I still found it medium level spicy. Highly suggest going a level down on spice level.

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.

We really only should have got the falooda as it was very authentic with vermicelli, tutu frooty, sabja and pista flavor - yummy! It was a little stuffy to sit indoors due to limited air conditioning. Our server was really nice and friendly.

Original review: I was so excited to see a fully plant-based restaurant open up north with a focus on healthy tasty desi foods! We ordered in the silky eggplant curry- probably the best tasting eggplant we've ever had! Being vegan these last few years I have not been able to enjoy my favorite dessert, Halwa, and to my delight theirs was super delicious! We plan on going in person and trying so many things. My husband spoke to the owner and she seemed really open to feedback (they soft launched last week) and she insisted we try her naan the next time we come- which makes me happy because I love naan but most places don't make it fully plant-based. We had a mishap with Ubereats and the owner of the restaurant was super apologetic and kind (the mishap was solely the fault of the driver). We're excited to try some of the dishes we don't usually see around here, and so happy they offer tofu as well!
