An Absolute Gem--Incredible Food & Family-Like Hospitality! Southern Spice is hands-down the best Indian restaurant in New Hyde Park! Every time we dine here, we're treated like family. The owner and staff always remember us, and their warmth makes each visit feel special. Now, let's talk about the food--absolutely phenomenal! We ordered the jumbo tandoori shrimp, one regular spice and one mild, and they were grilled to perfection--succulent, smoky, and bursting with flavor. I truly appreciate that they went out of their way to make a special mild version just for me. My guy indulged in two separate goat dishes, both rich, aromatic, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. As for me, I had the butter chicken, and wow--it was pure comfort in a bowl. Creamy, perfectly spiced, and served with fragrant basmati rice, it was everything I wanted and more. The bread is my absolute favorite. We got some to go. Southern Spice isn't just about great food; it's about an experience. The flavors are authentic, the service is impeccable, and the hospitality is unmatched. If you're looking for a restaurant that serves incredible Indian cuisine with a personal touch, look no further. Five stars all the way!
Have eaten in here and had take out several times. The food is always delicious, well spiced. The owner or manager was accommodating.
Excellent South Indian style food, served with pride and expertise! Come in expecting to be treated like a hungry relative and the staff...including the owner himself... will treat you like a treasured member of the family. We've been eating at Southern Spice since their old location in Flushing, Queens and they just get better and better. An expanding menu will keep you coming back for more and the old favorites are done to perfection. The chef will gladly adjust the spice level to your preference, from mild to volcanic. We prefer near volcanic, but that's up to you! Eat here, you won't be disappointed!
Had an excellent dinner, tried a scallop and shrimp entree we hadn't had before, spicy vindaloo did not disappoint, fried okra was cooked perfect, as was garlic naan and onion kulcha, all with friendly service.
Love the food here. Owner is also the greatest.only place we go. The best ..... drive in from flushing
We ordered samosas, the vegetarian Thali, mango lassi, and Indian coffee. It was all Very delicious. It doesn't look like much right away but it is very filling. I'll bring more friends next time! My only negative was that I would have preferred the bathrooms to be cleaner.
This restaurant is amazing! I am not of Indian heritage, but I love Indian food. I am also a vegetarian which sometimes complicates my ordering, but the owner understands the need to cater to the tastes of the clientelle. WELL DONE! The food is excellent. I can taste the freshness of the vegetables and appreciate the combination of spices. The owner was extremely helpful in helping us to choose a varied vegetarian dinner. If you like spicy, you can tell him if you like medium or mild, you can tell him too. It is the type of place that really understand that people have different palates. I like spicy, but was with a friend who likes mild. Southern Spice did great and we both loved our dinner. I have been here a few times, and each time I walk away so appreciative of the quality of the food and service.
