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.

This is a buffet style restaurant, with a good selection of choices, but a small enough buffet to where it doesn't become overwhelming.

The price for their buffet is also not bad at $14. This is one place that I will continue to go to throughout the years.

We were originally going to go to Mare e Monte but the line was too long and we all were simultaneously craving Indian cuisine. This happened to be right next door. Ambiance is more like a family restaurant so definitely expect kids and multiple family affairs but the noise levels didn't take us away from how excellent the food was !!

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. Service was good, but like I said we were the only ones here. It's very dark in here and looks like a Mexican cantina, because it is.

Each tray comes loaded with a variety of curries, rice, bread, and sides so you get to taste a little bit of everything instead of committing to just one dish. It's the perfect sampler and a great way to explore different flavors in one meal. I also love their samosa chaat. It's messy in the best way possible, with crispy samosas, chutneys, yogurt, and crunchy toppings that bring all the textures together. Super flavorful and satisfying. The setup is casual and easy: you order at the counter, grab a table, and they bring the food out. The restaurant itself is clean and relaxed. Great option for dine in or takeout.
