Good ambience - 8/10 - the restaurant felt split into 2...thr front and back.. which i personally didn't like - felt a little like an after thought. Maybe spruce it up a little by also playing music there..and add some ethnic flair. Food triedPaneer chatpata - 9/10Idly - for my 4 year old - 8/10Paneer mandi - 7/10 - not big on mandi but tried as we went as a group, def an acquired taste. Dessert - Nepali mysore pak(?) - 10/10 - a condensed milk heaven.

This place feels just like a fast food Indian restaurant, both in how it looks and how the food tastes. I ordered masala dosa, rava dosa, regular dosa, aloo tikki chaat, samosa chaat, chicken lollipops, and chole bhature. The only good thing I can tell is the food came out super fast! It was pretty obvious everything was pre-made, probably frozen and just thawed or reheated.Nothing tasted fresh except for the thick dosa shell. Overall, if you're looking for a quick bite and don't expect much, it's fine, but if you want authentic, freshly made good Indian food, this isn't the place.

Disappointed with the Malai Kabab and overall experience."We visited Southern Spice in Irvine, and while most dishes were okay, the Malai Tikka Kabab was a big letdown. It had an odd, chemical-like taste and seemed old - not fresh at all. This was very concerning, especially since we were dining with kids.When we brought this up to the server, they promptly took the dish away and mentioned they would speak to the chef. They did inform us that the dish would not be included in the bill, which we appreciated. However, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the issue, which made the situation feel poorly handled. Serving such a dish in the first place is unacceptable--how can something with such an odd taste even make it to the table?The other dishes--Dosa, Puri Masala, and Chole Bhature--were okay but nothing special. Overall, the experience was disappointing. I hope Southern Spice prioritizes quality control and takes customer feedback seriously moving forward.

Very nice decor and clean restaurant! The menu is quite interesting! We came on a Thursday night around 930PM and it was empty. We thought it was because they were maybe closing soon! But they said they are open till 12! We sat down and ordered a veg avakai biriyani. The portion was huge! The flavours were great but it was so spicy! (And we like spicy food but it was a little too spicy for us!) the raita was certainly helpful but we couldn't finish it!

I don't eat places that don't post customer photos. This place only post it's professional pictures. Have you ever seen a McDonald burger look like the one in the ad? Me either.

Update: No complains on their service and food. Loved the malai kofta curry. Flavorful and finger licking good. Decent portion. Highly recommend trying their malai kofta curry either with a garlic naan or rice. Still maintaining the consistency. One of the few restaurants in Irving still serving decent meal. I have been visiting southern spice on & off since 2015. I like their thalis which seem like plate meals (a term used in South Indian mess) Good and decent portions. Never had a bad experience here. Price is fairly reasonable. Recently was craving for parota & curry and went to southern spice as no other place was serving parota. Food was tasty and fresh. I definitely recommend trying their thalis.
