| - There are a ton of Indian options in the city, and, based solely on one visit, Spice Indian Bistro deserves a place right at the top of the heap.
We arrived around lunchtime on a weekday and the place was empty. I took a quick look at their promising lunch menu and opted to try the Lamb Khadi ("Served with fluffy basmati rice and a house salad with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and beetroot with a mango-chilli vinaigrette").
It arrived a short time later and certainly looked and smelled delicious. And that was nothing compared to how amazing it tasted.
This is a seriously scrumptious dish. The various spices ensured that each bite had something new to discover, and honestly, I can't recall the last time I ate an Indian dish that was so complex and layered in its flavors.
And this is to say nothing of the lamb itself, which was astoundingly tender and delicious.
(The accompanying salad was quite yummy, as well.)
My only complaint would be the disheartening lack of spice in the dish. I feel like the chef has decided to tone down the heat for his North American customers, and this is a mistake, in my humble opinion. When I eat Indian food, I want to feel that spiciness in my very bones.
