This is one of the most FANTASTIC Indian restaurants I have EVER been to. The food was divine. To the hospitality and ambiance to the food and onto the short lesson we asked for in how to eat our food in a culturally appropriate way. They have it all. Will recommend over and over and come back again and again.
Thank you for an amazing experience😃

This was our second time here. The food is authentic indian, and very flavorful. If you ask for spicy, it is really spicy. We have tried South Indian thali, Hyd dum biryani, chettinad chicken curry, chicken tikka and samosas. All good. I felt samosa is overpriced compared to other Indian places around. Service is good. Waiting time during weekend lunch is about 30-35 minutes because the place bustles with people and is fully packed. Good going!
Editing the review after the third visit. We went on a Thursday to have dosas for 5$ (promotional offer). The sambhar was very tasteless, and the dosa filling had no salt. We just could not relish the dosa at all. Also ordered chettinad pepper chicken, which was ok, a bit too much of pepper. I reduce just 1 star because I loved their food in the first two visits.

My husband and I were visiting Portland from Seattle and came here for dinner with a friend. We ordered a Mysore Masala Dosa, Veg Dum Biryani and Chicken Chettinad Curry. The ambiance was good and the food was delicious but the service was a bit slow. We also asked for filter coffee but their machine was broken so they only had chai. The prices were reasonable too.

Went for Thursday offer. If you buy a biriyani, you get a dosa free. The offer is pretty good. It was a takeout order. I was expecting a crispy dosa but it was but thick for my liking. Ordered goat biriyani, the quantity is good, but didn't taste like an authentic Hyderabadi biriyani. Biriyani didn't bring out all the flavor. Unfortunately, this offer is not available via GrubHub or Uber eats.

Great place to grab a bite of South indian dish. I wish they add a little salt to their masala in the dosa. Adding some curry leaves and pepper would make the veg bonda taste even better.

The best Indian food experience in Portland. Must try the Apollo fish, andhra chicken curry, travancore goat roastand the chili garlic nan (if you love spicy). It’s a delight!
I am back, to share something I discovered at Southern Spice yesterday - and I wish I knew about it sooner. I love biryani's - always have and try them out every place I go. Someone recommended Avakai biryani @ southern spice - which I have never heard of before. I tried it for the first time yesterday, and I am a fan.It is different, very different from the usual biryanis - unique in flavor, and one bite and you cannot stop. I tried the Avakai goat, and most likely will be having this for a long time before I go back to any other biryani.

Excellent food quality, especially the biryani. Very polite and friendly service :)

Extremely pitiful and sad food. Truly one of the worst Tikka Masala's I've ever had the misfortune of attempting to eat. There is zero flavor, zero aroma, zero consistency. Just a sad bowl of loose slop.
When I asked if this was a butter curry or some kind of plain curry they denied it being wrong and told me it was for sure a tikka masala. And that there is the true sadness here. They think this is a tikka masala? This bland soup of not even quarter effort is what passes for a beloved dish? Shameful.
