Spice Valley

This is the best Indian restaurant for Indian chat in Brisbane. The prices are very reasonable. I really enjoy food at spice valley. Coming to this restaurant has become a weekly routine. Can’t go wrong with the food.

Today I had the misfortune of going to Spice Valley for lunch. The food was terrible and the service was even worse. I asked her for a lime because the one she gave me was like a dried up prune. Her reaction was as if I asked her for her life. She started squeezing the lime on my plate to prove that there was some juice in it. By far the worst service I’ve ever experienced and would never go back.

The Northside had a serious dearth (none, actually) of great chaat places until the Spice Valley Indian Store opened up its adjoining chaat restaurant.
Managed by a lovely Gujarati family, this restaurant is true to the Mumbai style of street food (Mumbai’s the boss of Indian street food anyway) and features crowd favourites like masala dosa, utthappam, vada pal and samosas on the menu.
The Gujarati influence in the food is very noticeable where pickles and preparation is concerned. As Gujarati food is mostly vegetarian, you know that you are getting your money’s worth with wholesome fare. I often see them shop at our local farmer’s markets and it’s assuring to me knowing that they use fresh vegetables in their kitchen.
Of special note is the thaali they serve — it comes with the softest chapatis I’ve had. I also loved their aloo parathas — bursting with potatoes and well-​kneaded dough.
The Spice Valley chaat restaurant is easy on the wallet too and if you plan on having a night out with your mates, go for it!
