Finally!!! An Indian int he Cayman Islands that allows you to taste the real and authentic food that is associated with a good Indian. Before we get ahead of ourselves though, we need to make sure that all the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed. 
A good Indian needs to travel well and needs to be virtually as fresh as it would be in the restaurant if you were to do take out. Also, if you are eating in, does the food do the talking, or does the cool music and the gitchy walls try to distract you from the food.
When I called, the employee didn’t know much about the menu (obviously I ordered food to go). “What do you mean you don’t know what a Dopiaza is?”. Anyways, we got through it and I went for a Vindaloo (text-book) a Madras (bigger text-book) and a Chicken Korma made slightly spicy. Ok… so off I went to pick it up and there was this non-descript room from the outside and i walked into a great little room that wasnt too far ahead of itself and was warmly welcomed. The girl behind the bar had little English and should not have been there. Still, start-up restaurant has to save money wherever it can right? When the Indian gentleman started looking after us. All was great. we got complimentary chic pea salsa whilst we were waiting for the food. We sat at the bar and the area was cool. There were a few tables, but as thought, there were bags and bags of to-go food lining up.
Weird Indian Techno music accompanied us as we waited, but, whatever, the food was ready and off we went. Oh wait. I forgot to mention that I should have mortgaged my house before i decided to pay for the bill. $17.00 a dish. Not my ideal price, it better be worth it.
The food was excellent and was almost worth the price tag. Almost. I would recommend it. When can we start the typical lads night out and crawl into the Indian restaurant afterwards? Ah the old days. If they only delivered. Thanks Southern Spice – very well done. I will be back. Oh, and there was enough for lunch the next day as well. So, it was worth the $17.00 then (?).
