HISTORY/ABOUT: The 5 Spices restaurant is located just east of the legendary Lahore Tikka Houses, and specializes in Hakka (Indian/Chinese) cuisine.
DÉCOR/AMBIENCE: The restaurant is nothing special, but it is clean. The food warrants eating here despite the ordinary atmosphere, trust me.
MENU DESIGN/READABILITY: Way more options then I'd like to see on a menu, but this is typical of a Hakka/Indian/Chinese restaurant.
FOOD QUALITY: Delicious. Meats were extremely tender and seasoned beautifully. Hakka food, similar to Indian, is always bursting with flavour. The marinades, combination of spices and use of woks makes for palette paradise. I highly recommend the masala fries, Chicken 65 Bombay Chicken (heavy peanut flavour), and the rices and noodles are all tasty. I have to go back for the fish and beef dishes.
BOOZE: No
PRICE POINT: Extremely reasonable, nearly every item on the menu is under $10.
SERVICE: Great service. Was not busy when I was there
BATHROOMS: never used
FINAL THOUGHTS: If you would like to experience Hakka food this is a great restaurant to visit.
