I was pleasantly surprised by Spice Hut. It's tucked away in Huntington Hills. I had been driving around for a while, hungry and undecided as to what I was craving when I saw the name.
The place is sparsely decorated but clean. Utilitarian tables and chairs that you would find in small take-out places fill the seating area. Menu is broken down to the usual sections with a middle section of their specialties. I opt to try the Nehari, beef shanks slowly cooked in special spices for hours. The proof is in the eating with tender morsels of melt-in-your-mouth beef, the flavour is very subtle. The heat is there though. I was warned that both my dishes were very spicy. The Nehari is not as spicy as the Vindaloo.
The chicken Vindaloo packed the real Vindaloo heat but it was a little (just a smidgen) too tomatoey for me. The chicken pieces were nice and tender. All in all good Indian food. The prices are extremely reasonable with the Nehari at $9.99, and @8.99 for the Chicken Vindaloo. I ordered 2 naan @ $1.50/ea. The naan was a little dry but it looked really good coming out of the tandoori. I'll try rice or Roti next time. Parking is plentiful.
