The 7 Spice | Hakka Fusion Food — Restaurant in Barrie

I have been coming to this place since they opened! First with my husband and now I bring my friends and family because it has always been so amazing! When I say amazing, I dont mean just the food but also the service. Chef always knew what we ordered but also made suggestions to push us to try another spectacular dish on the menu. He would always come out to check on us and the other customers to chat and make sure all was good. Tonight my cousin and I went for supper. We ordered basically the same as we always do. I looooove the malaysian curry! Been stuck on this one for a while now. My old fav was sesame chicken, which is actually what my cousin ordered. Our meals came out, mine was the same yumminess as always but my cousins dish looked different. The rice and everything is generally all mixed into one and topped with some of the broccoli mix from the broccoli bites ( another fav) This time the meat was in a little bowl, like my curry, and rice was in its own wee bowl. I asked the person serving us if the recipe had changed because it usually isn't served like this ….was just curious He said I must be mistaken, maybe I had ordered something different before. I mentioned that we actually order this alot and chef generally serves it all mixed in to one. Not a big deal….just wondered if the recipe changed so we know for next time.

He told me they are out of big plates…then made his way back behind the counter. I then heard him mocking me i think because I had referenced how “chef” made it. They were all laughing. No one came back out to check on us after that…i think I must have insulted him …which was not my intention.

All this to say…I miss chef( Fernando) and Pauline! Please come back!!

I know this all seems like first world issues….tiz true but its hard to find places and people you feel connected to sometimes and 7 spice has been that place for me and my family for a few years now.

Not sure we will be back…..but the food is freaking...

This is such a cool concept for a restaurant, and as a skeptic I was honestly worried that they wouldn’t be able to live up to being able to make so many different cuisines from around the world. I am half Malaysian and half Sri Lankan, and I’ve had authentic food from both places as well as grew up around those cuisines. I was seriously impressed to find a small shop in Barrie doing it all AND doing it well! 10/10. The Malaysian seafood curry was to die for. The Sri Lankan black beef was absolutely delicious and flavourful, I’ve never tried Bunny Chow before and that was my first time trying South African cuisine and I really enjoyed it. Their Peri-Peri fries are a total hit! We ordered them as a small appetizer for the family and it finished faster than someone could say “Peri-Peri”. We also tried their Biriyani and their Malaysian Satay. Honestly I was very impressed and we will definitely be returning. I commend the chefs and the wonderful service we received from the cashier. We aren’t in Barrie often and this was just a wonderful surprise! Thank you and keep doing what you’re doing! Believe the reviews you see on here, they’re definitely not sponsored, I can attest to...

Let's be honest here. The 7 Spice may look like your average restaurant in a small plaza on the outside but it is ANYTHING but! This is by far the BEST food I have ever tasted in Barrie. It is my go-to place if I want something fresh, fast and so deliciously goodl! The menu caters to all kinds of likes. From fresh street food like burgers and fries to their curry specialities from Sri Lanka and South Africa!. Delectable and mouth watering! If you live in the east end of Barrie, South, West , North or just passing through our city, this place CANNOT be avoided. You will be hooked and come back for more! The owners are very welcoming, receptive and attentive to all your requests. So go ahead, if you are looking for something different but very appetizing- go to the 7 spice today! You WON'T regret it! PS- if you don't feel like cooking for a large group, they cater too! Ask for their catering menu. Again, you won't regret it! ...
