Truth be told, the Spice has become my go-to place for when I crave some Indian comfort food. Strangely enough however, they’re listed as a Thai restaurant and the majority of their food options are Thai, with Indian food being on a separate menu, namely, one sheet of paper. Although I have no problems with the quality of their Thai food, their Indian food is what draws me back time and time again.

My old favorites are the butter chicken and the garlic naan, along with their freshly made rich mango lassis. The chicken in the butter chicken dish is great, but it’s the “butter” sauce that really gets me. A better duo than peanut butter and jelly, the creamy aromatic butter chicken sauce is the perfect match for a side of crispy naan. Even the Thai fried noodles went great with the sauce. My only complaint is that the serving size of the naan platters are too small, with only 3 pieces to munch on. The papaya salad was a nice side dish to offset the heavy flavor of the butter chicken and tom yum soup we ordered.  As always, I walked away from this place with a bloated but satisfied stomach.  

At The Spice, you can always expect service with a smile, and sometimes the lovely waiters don’t even hesitate to strike up a chat with you, rare in China if you ask me. Price about 100rmb/person.
