Indian home feel

by psyravi at Citysearch

I am natively indian myself, and so I was extra critical of this place. I loved the way that I felt like I was in an indian home in India. My parents house is too american-washed, but I felt like I was in India again and my aunt and uncles house sitting down for a quiet meal. There were bollywood movies playing on the tv's. The food was amazing, the perfect amount of spice to satisfy my tastebuds and my american friend who isn't a spicy-fan's tastebuds. We got goat, chicken, and samosas. All of it was so good.

  • Pros: atmosphere, food, spice
  • Cons: no con

Good service but not typical Indian flavors

by MarkP at Citysearch

Read the reviews and thought I'd give it a try. The people working there are really nice but the food was really bland. I don't know if they're trying to be conservative with how they flavor things, but this was probably some of the least flavorful Indian food I've ever eaten.

  • Pros: Very nice people
  • Cons: Food had next to zero flavor

Desi Spice is the best!!!

by BEAUTY71 at Citysearch

This is the best Indian food in Atlanta. The service is astounding and I love how the place looks! I like to have little gatherings there all the time. The spiced chai is really good too!!!

I normally order the chicken vindaloo with garlic naan and a side of onion pakoras!!!

  • Pros: Onion pakora

GREAT INDIAN FOOD!!!

by ATLGRL2009 at Citysearch

This is a great Indian place to eat at!! They have the best tandoori chicken and garlic naan and lamb vindaloos. The service is great as well!!! The family-owned restaurant has a lot of class and a very homely feeling. Desi Spice is GREAT!!!

  • Pros: Great location and ambience, especially seating outside
  • Cons: Nothing!

This Place Is Awful, the portion is soo tiny it looks like it's from a Kid's Menu. As For the Tea that was not Indian Spice tea it was scorched black and horrific flavor it was worse with sugar.

by Damico23 at Citysearch

The Portion is so tiny it seems I ordered from the Kid's Menu.As for the tea that was not Indian Spice tea it was scorched black and had a horrific flavor that it was worse with sugar. Worst of All the Attitude of the Staff was really ugly and short with Us when we ordered. I will never return and I suggest you and anyone you know that LIKES Indian Food finds somewhere else to fill your craving. You'll leave this place BROKE with no leftovers to revisit the next day.Better yet learn to cook it at home so you know what's in your food. This place gets FOUR THUMBS DOWN!!!!!!!

  • Pros: NONE
  • Cons: Cold UN -Tasty Food, Bad Service, Terrible small space, WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!

cutting corners

by buddhaboy1977 at Citysearch

good news first. great service, convivial atmosphere, good location. bad news...the food was sub par, bordering on bland as if made from a packaged spice mix. overpriced and under-prepared. the mango lassi was terrible, watery and more like a thai iced tea in color and sweetness. if this is your idea of good indian food, you are missing out, try other places.

  • Pros: service
  • Cons: food

Best Indian Food Ever!

by cejhome at Citysearch

Our favorite restaurant! The food is wonderful - they use the best quality ingredients - everything is fresh. The people that work there are so very nice, too. We always enjoy our visits - food and service are great. Love to sit on the patio when its nice out. All the food is great - from appetizers to dessert. My husband has tried Indian restaurants when traveling - in major US cities and even oversea - nothing comes even close to Desi Indian Spice.
