Food was exactly what you'd hope for (or better). Service could be more efficient but it's not bad at all. The restaurant was clean especially the bathrooms. read more

When they mean spicy, SPICY IT IS. My wife and I had dinner at this restaurant, and she is the one that loves spicy foods. But even this was too much for her. She only was able to eat a few bites of her food before she finally gave up. I, on the other hand, asked for something mild, and I was told that the chef would make sure that my dinner would be. However, I gagged on my first bite. When I complained, they did not charge me for my meal or drink. But they refused to refund any portion of my wife's meal, even when she ended up with an upset stomach. For all of you hotheads out there, this is probably a wonderful place for you, and I offer them complements for it. However, for those of you who are challenged by spiciness, I would suggest that you ask for a sample before ordering. Otherwise, you may be overheatedly disappointed. By the way, the owner is running for Mayor of Abilene. And he greeted us at our car before we even walked into the restaurant. But after we told him that we were from Southern California, we were ignored--- even when I asked for a partial refund for my wife's dinner. All these recent reviews boil down to taste. I think that I will stick to the Indian restaurants around my home in Southern California. read more

I ordered the butter chicken with garlic naan, and my boyfriend ordered the spicy chicken tikka masala with reg naan and both dishes came with white basmati rice! This was hands down the best curry I've ever had and I'm so happy this little gem is in Abilene. The inside was decorated authentically and homey. My butter chicken cream was so flavorful, and the naan was perfect to dip! The spicy chicken tikka masala was the perfect amount of spiciness and it wasn't overbearing. I found my go to spot for Indian food!!!! read more

Spicy India - Indian Near Me - Abilene, Texas

The food was alright. Service was very slow-my boyfriend finished his drink and set in plain view. After 10-15 minutes of waiting for our waiter to come back, he had to ask them for a refill. Not too big a deal, it was when we were leaving that I wish we had never come-I could see back into the kitchen. The curries and sauces etc were sitting on a table in the center of the kitchen in open STORAGE BINS, like the ones you store Christmas decorations in. Keep in mind there were flies all over the place and the AC was broken. Needless to say, we left out to-go boxes. read more

I travel a lot and love trying new food. This was probably the best Indian food I have ever had. I got the chicken Korma and my fiancé got the goat curry and samosas. Everything was delicious!! read more

Great service. Good food. If they say it is spicy , believe them. They have great rice, their chicken fried rice is my wife's favorite. All the curry dishes are good. Their nun is good and will help take a little of the heat off. I suggest you try them, especially if you want something different in Abilene. read more

Abilene is pretty disappointing as far as culinary variety and quality, so my husband and I were thrilled to find this absolutely DELICIOUS Indian restaurant during our last trip there to visit my in-laws. We ordered a variety of dishes and each one was as packed full of spice and flavor as the next. We're still talking about it! Service was wonderful as well. Spicy India is a gem and would probably hold its own in any major city, but we're glad we have something tasty to look forward to when we're in Abilene! read more

Delicious and unique place to eat for a change of pace from the usual restaurants in town.

A really late review.. I was here about 3 weeks ago. But this is one I really wanted to post ever since. FIRST, I got to dispel some basic Abilenean ( I think that's a word) rumors, but I found something out about this place LAST week, about why my visit was so empty. And it comes down to a few simple things.. 1. Small town mentality. 2. Well... one about sums it up. So, I hear that the reason this restaurant, who absolutely has THE best Indian food I have probably EVER had in my life, was empty on my visit, was because there was a murder in the parking lot, that was completely unrelated to this place, in any way, shape or form. On the day they opened. And was probably over a meth deal gone bad, by some local (not my perfect boy) ordeal, and nothing to do with the extremely friendly people who work and run this place. It angers me, that small minds, would be so afraid of the unknown, that it would literally hurt a local family owned business. I could go on about the fine folks of Abilene, but that should be it's own separate blog.. Now for my review. FOOD: Amazing, cooked to order, so always fresh. And the portions are huge, I literally stuffed myself to the point of almost being sick, just because I hadn't eaten food this good in months. STAFF: Really friendly,helpful and polite. I went in on a Friday night, alone as usual.. but I was expecting a crowded place for a Friday evening, it was not, just me and a family who I think were from the air force base. I started with an appetizer of Chili Paneers. Let me tell you, that was such a large plate I could have made a meal of just that, they tasted so amazing! The spice and flavor was just right, and just a plate of those would be worth going back for. For the main dish I had the Spicy India Goat curry, cause I was craving a curry and was my initial reason for going here. The curry was amazing, and the meat was extremely tender and easily fell off each bone. My server said the cook was from India, Sri Lanka if I remember right, wherever he was from, he, or she or they, are some damn good cooks. Well, for some reason my phone won't load photos right now, and that sucks cause I actually got some good food photos goso I will return later to add the pics I took. So, to end this.. Don't listen to stupid rumors..and eat here, it's really good, you won't be let down. read more

See all

The food here is absolutely wonderful. The people who run the establishment are very nice. A little pricy.

I love me some Spicy India! Everything I've had there has been scrumptious, and the staff are super friendly and kind. I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to spicy foods, so if you're like me, I recommend these milder dishes: Mushroom Mutter Masala, Chicken Saag, Tikka Masala (paneer or chicken). I also enjoyed the Aloo Gobi and Goat Biryani, but both were a touch more spicy. The naan is wonderful (plain or garlic), and I like the Chapathi too. Also recommend the Chai Tea and Mango Lassi. With my moderate appetite, I can usually get two meals out of a single entree. Since moving to the new location (I-20 and West Lake), the service seems faster than at the old downtown location. Which makes Spicy India a good lunch option now. Pro tip: if approaching the restaurant from in town (like from Ambler and West Lake), turn left into the gas station and drive through the pumps/parking area over to Spicy India. Support local business! And food from different parts of the world! read more

My kids love this place. Not really my thing, but they can't get enough. However, if it isn't steak and still mooing, it's just not my thing. Kinda like sushi. Don't mind trying it, but not anything I must have. However, it keeps my girls happy and it's not McDonald's, right? read more

What's the chance that there's a really good Indian restaurant in Abilene Texas? Zero? Is there a number smaller than zero? This place is great! Massive menu. Something for everybody. They serve a stunningly large array of very cool Indian themed cocktails (thank of a Mojito but made with curry leaves instead of mint etc.). I would return just for these. All the food we had was absolutely on point. I can say that it was better than any Indian restaurant I ever ate at in Austin (although to be fair another city not necessarily known for its excellent Indian food). read more

*Great food! *Clean environment! I've been about 5 times over the past 8 months or so and always between 11am-2pm. Never crowded. (Come on Abilene peeps! Help a business out. If you haven't had Indian food before, I recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala w/ garlic naan) *Palak paneer is my personal favorite Indian dish. (They do a great job with it here!) *Bollywood films playing on tv may be PG-13 or more so parents be advised. *Decent variety of alcoholic drinks served as well [If you are new to downtown Abilene, there are several one way streets so it's worth a review of your route before you get moving.] read more

I do not have much of a choice on spicy India food, so when I'm out of my home town I take advantage. I just enjoyed every bite I recommend this place if traveling through read more

Don't be fool by the cheap prices, this place is SUPER good. It was ready quick, the service was good, and the place was clean. Thanks for a great meal. PS get extra naan it's so freaking good you'll want more no matter how many you order read more

Good chicken tikka masala. Ordered on the way from Midland to Dallas and enjoyed it in the car.

This is an excellent place to get curry. If you are a curry lover , you definitely need to try here.My experience at Spicy Indian has always been great. However, there's one time I order a chicken vindaloo and there's only three pieces of chicken in it and I paid $11.90 for it. $11.90 for three pieces of chicken which I think it's way too expensive. The potion isn't that big too. So you if want to eat a lot , this place might not for you. Don't get me wrong, I love this place. But I think it's expensive. If this place is cheaper and have bigger portion. I would definitely give 5 stars and go there every week. read more

I ordered the mushroom pea masala and my girlfriend has the okra masala - both of which were amazing. Highly recommended!

All over good food best daal makhni ever .. but really bad quality of Noodles.. they don't use noodles they use something really bad quality stuff.. and the chicken inside of the noodles also bad quality and smelly.. read more

Food is great but the prices are very high for Abilene, especially at lunch. The owner lady is very rude and one time I pulled a hair out of my food, and I just placed it to the side. I didn't even complain or anything but the moment she saw the hair she instantly had the worst attitude and I have not been back since. I do miss the food and hope to try it again someday at the new location. read more

This was quite possibly the best Indian food I have EVER had, and I frequent a lot of spots all across the U.S. The staff was quite knowledgeable. Also, I think the knew their food was the best!

Spicy India - Butter chicken, garlic naan, and chicken tikki marsala. Best Indian food of my life. - Indian Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Great Indian food! Large portions and good spice level. A gem hole-in-the wall! Would recommend

The food was absolutely fantastic. We started with some samosas and got the butter chicken and malai kofta for our main course. I'm from Houston and this place is just as good, if not better, than some of the places at home. We will definitely be back here! Everything was homemade and had a great flavor to it - extremely rich. We went home with tons of leftovers. Can't wait to try their other dishes. read more

Spicy India - Malai kofta - my favorite! - Indian Near Me - Abilene, Texas

This is some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Is super spicy so be aware. Butter Chicken and Chicken Curry are our favorites.

The most authentic Indian food you can get in Abilene, guaranteed. I'm a pretty picker eater and I have never had authentic Indian food until now. I hate to say it but I have definitely been missing out. Spicy India is located in downtown Abilene next to a really old hotel, I think they're connected. Walking into the restaurant, the aroma of spices really hit you and reminds you how authentic this place really is. There are a lot of items on the menu which can be overwhelming. I think they upped their price which any good business should do if the business is flowing. You can tell what their popular dishes are because they are slightly higher priced. I got the Tikka Masala. It comes with the actual soup itself and a bowl of rice. They don't charge extra for rice so if you finish, you can always ask for more. I split the samosas and naan bread with my friend. The samosas were filled with potatoes and peas and a whole bunch of spices. The appetizer came with two, I wish there were more considering how it was $2.99. The naan was homemade and I loved it. There are different seasoning which I'm sure is just as good as the original if not better. My tikka masala was good, I wish the chicken pieces weren't as tender as they were. It might have been because they chop the chicken into small cubes. It was very tomato-y flavor and good. I imagine this place to be the spot whenever the cold comes back. I'm definitely going to come back and try something else. I'm an Indian food fan. The service was impeccable. I think the owner stopped by our table to ask how things were and he was so nice. He greeted us out and asked how we enjoyed our food. read more

Really, really really love the food at Spicy India and I'm so thankful there is a great Indian food restaurant here in Abilene. Try the butter chicken, garlic naan, and also don't forget the samosas!!!! Highly recommend if you are looking for good international food! read more

In town for a softball tournament. Did not expect to find good vegetarian food in West Texas, and was even more surprised to find good Indian food! I'm not a fan of spicy food and they recommended two of the milder dishes. Great flavor but no heat, my favorite! Staff seemed to know every customer that came in, very friendly and quick service. Will definitely be back here again. read more

I'm not the biggest Indian food fan, but this place is great. We went with a group and tried 5-6 different things. The flavors were great and overall experience was worth the money. Staff was helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend if you're a fan of Indian food. read more

My husband and I were told about this place by a nurse at the hospital. Since we love Indian food we thought we'd give it a try. I wanted Butter Chicken and my husband ordered the Chicken Korma. The Chicken Korma was very good, but the Butter Chicken was the worst I have ever had. I'm not sure what kind of meat that was, perhaps pressed chicken, but is wasn't Chicken pieces like you normally find in Butter Chicken. We won't be eating there again. For an Indian Restaurant it was a disgrace. read more
