Reviews for Spice & Spirits in Pensacola, FL
I wouldn?t recommend this place if you are an Indian. The host was very nice and was pretty much making everything fresh as we... ordered but at least for us the food was not as good as decent Indian food could be. The place has the potential to do better. Read more
One of the best and most authentic Indian food I?ve had in Pensacola. Very fun and friendly environment. Great for dining and... having fun. Amazing customer service ! Highly recommend Read more
Friendly service. This is a diner setting so don?t go when you?re in a rush. Food comes out in courses. He asked how spicy I... wanted my food and I told him just enough to burn a little. That?s fairly subjective but he got it on point. I ordered garlicnaan and buttered chicken and we shared samosas at the table. The samosas had a nice dipping sauce. Servings are large. I tooksome home and had it for lunch the next day There was a dish at the table that wasn?t very good. I?ve had tandoori at a lot ofother places and theirs just wasn?t that great. I would definitely come back Read more
This was our second time eating at Spice & Spirits. Our first time was pre-Covid when they had a lunch buffet. The owner told... us the buffet should restart in a month or so. From the outside, the restaurant is unassuming, but it's very tastefullydecorated inside and is very clean, including the bathrooms. I ordered spicy vegetable Vindaloo. My dish was a sizableportion, loaded with vegetables, and I took half home for a second meal later. My husband ordered mild chicken Tika Masalawhich I also tasted. Even though I prefer spicy food, his meal was also delicious, not bland at all. The meals came with alarge amount of white rice, but we also ordered garlic Naan, and it was yummy. Don't skip on the Naan! Our total bill was $40before a tip. We didn't order drinks, but they do serve beer and have a full bar. We received wonderful service, and althoughit wasn't a cheap lunch, it was worth it, and we will go back. You should too! Read more
This place is very unassuming from the outside, if you weren't looking for it, you might miss it. The inside is nice. It looks... (and more importantly) smells very clean. We ordered 2 dishes and were a little taken aback by the price, well that's on us. They give you a LOT of food. The spice was nicely balanced. They cook from multiple regions, so if you're really into Indian,this is a good pick. I hung out at the bar with a Kingfisher while my to go was getting ready and had a good time talking withthe bartender. Real nice dude. Well worth the money! Read more
I have traveled to the subcontinent of India on a number of occasions and have had my share of authentic Indian cuisine. Spice... and Spirits served us two outstanding meals today-we will return for more-delicious and authentic lunch. Read more
The restaurant is next to the Quality Inn. While the building is quite old, the restaurant was very clean. We enjoyed our... server's (Joseph) friendliness. My husband had Lamb Rogan Josh and I had paneer moilee. They have the best papadam of anyIndian restaurant in town. The sweet lassi was very thick and satisfying. The food tasted delicious and we will be back. Theatmosphere suffered from the aging building, They were out of a few things, as well. However, currently most restaurants feelsupply chain issues. The main drawback was the gnats but I think it was due to poor air circulation. I also wish the menu hadbetter descriptions of the food. We left fully satisfied and had leftovers to boot. Read more
Well, not recommended! You can go there for their Roti which is soft and good (although small) but nothing else. The owner is... quite friendly and nice?but the food isnt. The owner cooked everything himself (probably they are short of staff) but the fooddint come out well. We ordered samosa, dal and paneer makhni. Samosa was very oily and tasted as if the potato has gone bad orit was cooked 2 days ago, Paneer was too sweet. The simplest thing as dal was oily and had uncooked spices which was just a turnoff. (Since they were short of staff) The order took too much time to come and then it wasnt good as well. They did give uscomplimentary mango lassi because the dal was too spicy. Read more
