| - Indian Spices is a great place to try unique, ethnic food at an affordable, low price. I ordered the fresh bread: Kaabli naan, which was a delicious sweet pastry like bread filled with sugar, coconut, nuts and raisins & Panner naan, which was a bread filled with cottage cheese and herbs. I thought the cottage cheese would be a dominant taste, but it wasn't at all. It was very subtle and I could barely taste it, though it was wonderful. The bread is flaky and flat and has a very unique taste worth trying! The prices are absolutely wonderful! You get 4 large triangles of bread for $3.99. I also ordered the coconut soup ($3), which was very good. It had pieces of coconut, raisins, and nuts in a milky coconut broth. It was probably the first sweet soup I have ever tasted. We also ordered the Chicken korma ($9.5), which was served with a big plate of basmati rice. The rice is wonderful all by itself, without sauces or meat. The chicken korma was said to be a coconut based dish, but the dish had a richer taste of curry and less of a coconut taste. It was good, though I probably wouldn't order it again. The server asked if I wanted it mild or medium. I ordered it medium and it was pretty hot. I enjoyed it, just drank a lot of water, which the waitress was wonderful at refilling. The waitress wasn't the friendliest and didn't help us newcomers with the menu much, but she refilled my waters and checked on our table frequently. The diet coke was served in a can and you poured it into your glass of ice, which I'm never a big fan of, but it was also only $2. I'm not sure if the drinks were refillable or not.The ambiance wasn't really there and as soon as you walked in there was an odd odor. Perhaps table cleaner/rags? It is hard to explain but it has happened at other restaurants and always turns me off a bit. The bathroom was not the greatest and is squished by entryway to the kitchen. I would definitely try this place again because of the food and their prices, but hope that they can dress up the place a bit in the future and make the interior match the quality of the food!
