Spice7 Authentic East Indian Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Port Alberni

First time trying this restaurant. Simply put, it was amazingly wonderful! I have had the pleasure of eating many Indian meals made in family kitchens and the food served at Spice7 is as authentic as you will find. Hint: choose at least 'medium' for the amount of heat in the dishes, otherwise you aren't experiencing the true nature of the meal. Personally, ethnic food should always be served and eaten as if you were in a family kitchen. No need for any restaurant to sacrifice flavour. You can always say 'mild' if you really have to. LOL

The food we tried was:

Butter chicken. 5 stars / A+ Rich, tangy sauce and perfectly cooked meat.

Aloo Ghobi. 5 stars / A+ Perfectly prepared. So tasty!

Basmati rice. 5 stars / A+ Perfect. Fluffy and tender.

Veggie samosa. 5 stars / A+ Delicious filling surrounded by a pastry shell that was just right. Not too hard, not too soft.

Garlic Naan. 5 stars / A+ Tasty and tender. (Will try the onion naan next time)

I don't usually post reviews, nor do I rave about any particular restaurant but I am more than happy to recommend Spice7.

Sure, the location and curb appeal might seem odd but once you walk in the door, you will know all is good!

Really nice people working there. Port Alberni is fortunate to have a restaurant serving Indian food of this calibre. Go try it if you already haven't - this place is a treasure that needs...

I rarely give 5 stars to a restaurant. But this one deserves it. I did not expect to find an Indian restaurant this good in the middle of Port Alberni. I was returning from Tofino on the way to catch my ferry from Nanaimo and found it on a Google search. First off the ambience. The decor has a rustic vibe and also has a centre stage for live music. I guess they host local performance. Secondly cleanliness. Since I was driving all day I needed a place to freshen up. I was surprised to find that their washrooms were so clean and well maintained. Even the interiors of the restaurant were very clean. Lastly the food. The food tasted amazing. I highly recommend their goat biriyani and mango lassi. We also had their goat curry and naan. The quantity was abundant and the price was very reasonable. I was so tired and happy with the food that I did not get a chance to click any photos. But it is highly recommended for someone who is passing through Port Alberni and craving...

Went to this restaurant last night with my wife and two friends, Saturday Feb 17/24. If you want delicious, authentic, affordably priced Indian food, this is the place to go in Port Alberni. The restaurant is located wihin the old Italian social club building so the space is not the nicest restaurant but the food is AMAZING so who cares!!! In my opiniion they have far too many choices on the menu and ALL of them sound amazing and delicious but I couldn't possibly choose so we went for the buffet which was fantastic. Great way to try several dishes at once, next time I will choose from the menu. The staff is so attentive, helpful and pleasant, you really feel welcome and appreciated by everyone. The price of the meal including 1/2 litre of wine was just over $50 before tip, very good value for your money here. We will absolutely go back here again and again, I hope if you're reading this review you will give it a try, you won't be...
