Southern Spice - Irvine

Because they have the scan format and pay to table, make sure that the table they choose, they want because they can not change tabs after ordering as we have tried. we loved the chicken biryani with mango. You must love Achar/Mango pickle for this dish that I think is an acquired taste. super large portion. the dosa had not the fermented taste we are used was filling, but would decide for curries. the lamm tikka masala was very different when we are used to maybe more subtle in seasoning and a tad sweet and not excessive tomat, my family of 4 loved it. naans were brilliant, super fluffy, not crispy and thin as other restaurants. I wish I could reach this textur at home. the ghee fried chicken was excellent and very well seasoned, order with naan. I like the decor. self service means a lot of foot traffic around them while eating. I'd come back.

Excellent tasty food. Good service. We had eaten there a few times and also catered twice. Every time it came out great. Price is reasonable Recommend this place for great Indian food. Update: June 2022 We got a catering service for a party at home. The food was excellent and have enough for everyone

A good place to have an authentic Indian cuisine. All dishes here north Indian or south Indian are great in taste....as an Indian myself I can say that. The portions are large. Huge parking space and clean toilets . Then can be delay in service when crowded. A great place to visit for Indian food lovers.

Food here is delicioussssss BEST indian food ive had in OC, full of flavor, the place is decorated nice and traditional. The only thing ill say is be prepared to wait or help yourself. Its extremely busy there all the time and they dont have enough staff to handle all the dine-in customers and take out orders. This place is super popular and i can see why. Check out my photos. Enjoy!

One of my friend, referred this place when I said I want to try a restaurant that's not using regular red creamy curries in name of Indian food. We ordered Hyderabadi mutton biryani, kothu parotta, chicken tikka. Biryani was good, had equal amount of meat pieces, kothu parotta was average felt the parotta wasn't cooked sufficiently before they minced it, tikka is ok. The ambience is lovely, they have couple of swing n table at entrance which is unique. Worth trying!
