Had a Saturday night craving for Indian cuisine and Lion Indian was our choice. It has been a few…read moreyears back when we visited India, but the food is usually not a distant memory. The dinner options were either a buffet, or order straight from the menu. Since the buffet was only $15 per person and included some items we wanted to have anyways, we chose the buffet. The choices were limited in number, but enough for us. Buffet included some traditional entrees like Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Masala and several different kinds of Curry dishes. The rice and nan complimented the dish. Wifey enjoyed her meal and felt like the spice level was good enough, but I wanted something a bit more spicy. If my taste buds don't burn a little, then I feel like it is too Americanized. I understand that a buffet is prepared for the average person, but since San Antonio is already known for spicy foods, then a dish or two of a higher heat level would suffice for me. The restaurant is tucked away in a shopping center and it not real visible from the street so luckily Yelp got us here. It is however, close to Loop 1604, so it is an easy drive after exiting. Waitstaff is friendly and on point so it made the small, but comfortable indoor dining a pleasant experience. We will most likely return and fill our craving here and don't forget to have the Mango Lassi, as it was a nice way of finishing your dinner.

At the time I write my review (July 14, 2025), this new Indian restaurant in Helotes has a paltry…read moretwo-star overall rating on Yelp based on two short, non-descriptive reviews. I don't typically rate a restaurant until I've visited at least twice and had an opportunity to sample multiple items, but I'm making an exception in this case, partly because I feel that the current reviews are undeservedly harsh and lacking in detail. Despite a few odd issues, I enjoyed my visit to Spice Fine Indian Cuisine and would recommend it to anyone familiar with Indian food. Before I discuss the food (the most important aspect of any review), I need to describe this restaurant's bizarre setup. It shares the same space as Jalapeno's, a Tex-Mex restaurant that's been in business for several years. According to my server, Jalapeno's and Spice are now owned the same person (an Indian guy who doubles as the chef at Spice). My server explained to me that Jalapeno's operates with a predominantly Mexican staff until 2:30. The Indian staff then take over and open Spice at 5:30. I have no idea how that arrangement works logistically, but who am I to argue? Service was spotty at first, but the staff sorted out the issues quickly. The owner/chef seated me and handed me a small paper menu that lacked many essentials, including tandoori items. When I pointed this out, he determined that he had somehow given me the "wrong" menu. A different staff member (who turned out to be my server) then emerged from the kitchen with a much larger menu. Two of the items I wanted (vegetable pakoras and a mango lassi) were unavailable according to my server, which I found unusual. Fortunately, everything else I wanted was available, so I ordered vegetable samosas, tandoori chicken, saag paneer, and garlic naan. My server explained that the dishes would likely arrive at different times, as each item is made to order. While some customers may scoff at such a statement, I determined it to be a good omen of things to come. Fresh food is invariably worth the wait! --Vegetable samosas: 5.0/5.0 These come two to an order, though I could have eaten four, as I appreciate a tasty samosa. The potato/spice mixture was incorporated thoroughly, ensuring that every bite was bursting with flavor and capsaicin. Yes, these two bad boys bit me back! The shells were crispy unlike most samosas I've tried at Indian buffets. I still long for the enormous, transcendently delicious samosas from the now-defunct Kohinoor (my favorite desi restaurant in San Antonio), but these were excellent nonetheless. --Tandoori chicken: 4.5/5.0 The six pieces (legs and thighs) were juicy and benefitted from the charred Maillard reaction from the sizzling cast iron skillet. I could definitely taste the garam masala spice/seasoning but would have appreciated a bit more. White meat chicken tends to dry out, so I'm glad that Spice serves only dark meat. I would rate Spice's tandoori chicken above any of the Indian buffets scattered about town. --Saag paneer: 4.5/5.0 India Palace remains the undisputed king of saag paneer in San Antonio, but I enjoyed Spice's iteration, as it ramped up the capsaicin to levels that most casual diners (i.e., wussies) would find too spicy. The garam masala was incorporated properly into the ghee and spinach, and the titular paneer cheese was fresh and plentiful. The serving size was also generous: approximately 50% more than what I've received at other desi restaurants. --Garlic naan: 5.0/5.0 Spice's naan struck the perfect balance between crispy and soft. Most Indian restaurants--both buffet and full-service--include a smattering of canned chopped garlic that doesn't taste like much of anything. If you take a glance at the attached photo, you'll see that the kitchen applied a generous smear of fresh roasted garlic to every piece of my naan, which I used primarily as a vessel for the saag paneer. We need more ethnic restaurants in this part of town. We had a very good Indian restaurant called Ruby's that closed about a year ago due to poor business. Helotes already has enough boring, bland, milquetoast chains and fast-casual garbage, so let's come together to support independently owned places like Spice. Ignore the naysayers and trust the opinions of someone like me: a user with both the expressive ability and culinary acumen to review a place like this accurately.

I always order veggie samosas, butter chicken, and garlic naan. The samosas were a bit greasy but flavorful. The mint cilantro chutney was more sour than im used to and that was a common theme here. The butter chicken could have come out of the microwave, the surface had a sheen like it wasn't from the pan. It was also sour, acidic, and very thick.

This felt like I was in one of those social media videos, you know the ones that have the trumpets getting louder...where do we do we begin to explain how bad the service was? First we showed up FIFTEEN mins after it opened..and we still sat and waited for additional 20 mins to be seated. No one, I mean no one came out from the back to seat to us. Meanwhile we witnessed not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, but 5 groups walk out, as we should have. But...I saw the reviews...the bad reviews were all pretty much about service, but I thought man, the food must be that good, that curiosity got the better of me. Finally, a gentleman stepped out from the back, and proceeded, with no apology, and with all the attitude of a door knob, to seat us. Wait...it gets worse. We still waited. To be brought menus and order. At this point we witnessed THREE tables seated get up and leave. It peaked my interest even more. I know, I know. Call me a glutton for punishment. Then the host, who was obviously late, came in, brought us menus, didn't say a word, and brought us water, asked if we were ready to order. I'm like my guy, "we just got the menus, and you walked in like 5 mins ago". Stone cold face, no emotions. Remember what I said about "these restaurants". I don't even know if I should waste my time with food or atmosphere. The place is decent looking inside. Trying a little too hard to be "cute". I will say this about the food. It is nowhere near worth the price, or good enough to put up with the bad service. We all had curries of some sort, dosas, and naan. They were spicy. That's it. Nothing special. The samosas were ok. The sauces were good. The naan was ok. What I'm saying is I don't get it. Are we supposed to expect this type of service and be ok with it? Someone please tell me, because I feel it will not be the first nor last time we will get his service from this type of cuisine. We also had a bottled mango lassi, again nothing special. My dream one day is to get to a point, when I can pick several people who give places like this such high scores, take them say like, himalaya or another place, and dare them to say this place is better. Portion for price bad too...and they charge for EVERY THING extra. Never ever again.

This was our second visit to the restaurant. On our previous trip, we tried the Pachi Mirchi Pulav,…read morewhich was quite good, so we came back to explore their biryanis. We started with the Tomato Shorba soup (3.5/5). It was slightly bland but came in a generous portion that can easily be shared among 3 to 4 people. We also ordered idly for my son and requested ghee and podi, which they kindly accommodated. The podi and ghee combination was excellent. However, the chutney was not very impressive, and the sambar was just average. On the owner's recommendation, we tried the Jackfruit Biryani, my first time having it. It was decent and flavorful enough to enjoy. For my wife, the owner suggested the Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani. It tasted fine, but she noted that it was entirely dum rice. Typically, biryani has layers of masala rice, white rice, and meat, but the white rice portion seemed to be missing. For dessert, we had the Shahi Tukda (today's special), which was delicious and not overly sweet, just right. The Irani chai was okay this time; we found it better during our last visit. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience, and we would consider visiting again. The place was neat and clean.

When I discovered that San Antonio of all places had momos, I got really excited! Last time I had…read moremomos was in Rishikesh and they were the bomb (both in terms of taste and spice level.) The ones served at Momo House are different than what I had in India, but they were very tasty, and definitely a departure from the traditional dumplings we've come to know through Chinese cuisine. The menu is built to let you pick your protein, followed by the sauce / cooking style. For example, I ordered a dish of chili veggie momos, as well as pan-fried veggie momos. My colleague who was with me had lamb chow mein momos. We were all very happy with our momos. They were less spicy than what I previously experienced but still tasty. I also had a chai, and my colleague had a mango lassi. The chai was fine but could definitely have been spicier / stronger. The second lassi ordered was accidentally served plain, without mango. We didn't make a fuss. The lady at the counter was very friendly and did a good job otherwise. One word of warning about this restaurant: although it has seating, it's not really built to be a cozy restaurant. It's more of a takeout place. Half of the restaurant is a convenience store. The other half is a very utilitarian setup. Behind one of the counters, a man was repairing the wall. It seemed a bit industrial. All that said, the space was clean and the bathrooms were also acceptable. That's definitely a win and should never be taken for granted. If this space can be developed a little more and the chai improved, I think Momo House could deserve a 5 star rating. There's not a lot of competition out there, so it's a very achievable goal!
