Spice of India Restaurant (Kerala Restaurant in Dallas): Spice of India is hands down one of the best Kerala restaurants I’ve experienced, not just in Dallas but anywhere in USA itself. The food here is truly authentic and captures the distinct flavors of Kerala cuisine, which is very different from the more common North Indian dishes most people in the U.S. associate with Indian food. The chef clearly puts an incredible focus on quality and authenticity. Every dish feels like it’s crafted with care, transporting you straight back to the flavors and memories of Kerala. From the use of traditional spices to the cultural touches in preparation, the food here is rich, flavorful, and deeply connected to Kerala’s heritage. If you want to experience what real Kerala food is about—beyond the usual “Indian food” most Americans know—this is the place I’d highly recommend. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a cultural experience. Totally worth it, whether you’re from Kerala and craving a taste of home or simply curious to explore one of India’s most unique and flavorful regional cuisines.

Food and Service Incredible!! Best Indian we’ve ever had. It is definitely a dive which is what we love. However Silverware we had to clean and place was a little unkept and could be cleaner and better organized. We will definitely be back because the food was so amazing and again service top notch. We had Paneer Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken and Chicken Biriyani along with garlic naan and mango lassi to finish the meal. Joby (owner) and our attendant Pandu were most hospitable and kind. Love the scriptures on the wall too!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spices of India – Kitchen and Restaurant is an absolute gem! The food was authentic, hot, fresh, and bursting with the true flavors of Kerala. Every dish reminded us of home and was prepared with such care. A special shout-out to our wonderful waiter, Vishnu, who made the whole experience unforgettable—his warmth, attentiveness, and hospitality truly made us feel like we were back in Kerala. Highly recommend this place to anyone craving real Kerala cuisine!

Great food, service, atmosphere and overall experience!! My boss an I went to taste test the food for a company event we were having and we were not disappointed!! We ordered the curry chicken, butter chicken, chicken and veggie samosas and garlic naan. Everything was delicious, fresh and hot!! The flavors were amazing!! Fast forward to today, when we ordered large pans of those same items and, again, everything was AMAZING! Joby, the owner, delivered the catering order to us and helped me set it up. He was kind, helpful, professional and very friendly. At a company of 75 people in the office, every single person that tried it, loved it! They gave raving reviews to me, the event planner, about how happy they were with the food. Thank you Joby, and staff, for your help! You made this experience fantastic and our whole team appreciates you! We will definitely be regulars from here!

Loved the food and hospitality.Had the gobi Manchurian, the coconut milk bread and many layer bread to go with our lamb curry and thokoran (delicious spices with cabbage, onion and coconut milk). I ordered mild spice which was perfect for us. Also tried the mango lassi which was sweeter than what i am used to. Server was very attentive and you could tell it was a family restaurant. Can't wait till they begin breakfast weekend service again.

Rarely do you get to eat authentic Kerala cuisine and this place is one such rarity! Mr. Joby (owner and chef) is proud of his dishes that he serves with generous portion sizes all while not jeopardizing the taste. We ordered the Pompano Fish Fry (special spicy topping over the succulent fried fish), Butter Chicken and Paneer Tikka Masala (very creamy and delicious). The Shrimp roast was excellent and the Porotta was fresh, soft and flaky! Finally, the most important review is not about the food but about Mr. Joby (the owner) - He is a humble believer and ardent follower of Jesus Christ and his primary objective through this restaurant is not to make profit but to share the Love and Grace of Jesus Christ. He is unashamed to share his testimony and his staff are just as courteous and kind as the owner. All their servers very pleasant and hospitable! May God continue to bless all who come here and may they enjoy the Food, the Fellowship and the Faith!!!

Good - **** It is a small restaurant in Irving. We were looking for a kerala restaurant near DFW Airport and most of them were closed so found this. Thalassery Biriyani was the special of the day and along with that we ordered Kappa, Red Fish Curry, Porotta and Beef Fry for 3 people. The flavor was really good and there was good quantity. Loved it.

I had a very bad experience with the frozen raw meat from Spices of India. The meat smelled bad, looked old, and showed signs of poor freezing and storage. Even after cooking, it tasted off. After eating it, I got sick. This is not healthy food, and it’s very concerning that raw meat is being sold in this condition. I do not recommend buying frozen meat from here. Be very careful.

Very bad quality food I don’t know anybody and I got sick brother you use frozen meat and saying these are not frozen shame on you

Absolutely a Rip-Off Ordered the non-veg meal, and half the curries listed online were missing. When questioned, the staff simply said the menu had “changed.” The portions of what was served were barely a spoonful each. Ordered mutton roast and got six tiny bone pieces with almost no meat on them. The only decent portion was the mutton biryani, but even that came without pickle, raita, or papad. The place is dirty and dingy, and it took over an hour to get the food. Staff preparing food behind the swing door weren’t even wearing gloves. Extremely disappointing — stay away from this place.
