I wish I lived closer to Chennai Spices. I would eat here every week. I'm really excited to have found a new South Indian restaurant as Canada Dosa sadly closed a while back.
I would advise not to be in a rush if staying in to have your meal. While the service was slow, they staff were very friendly and patient with our questions we had about menu items we weren't familiar with.
Our table of four ordered a mutton curry, fish curry, chicken dosa, paneer, pakora, paratha and a couple mango lassis.
Every single item was beyond delicious. They catered to our request to make some dishes less spicy, and it actually came that way. Our main meals came with a choice of either naan or rice. I've never been one for mango lassi, but stealing a few sips of my boyfriend's made me a convert. You can tell it was made with fresh mango, no powdered junk.
We were stuffed after our meal and even had leftovers. All that for $85 (including tax and tip)
