Food is very bland, way less flavor and spices.. hardly any aroma of delicious food here, the restaurant itself smells like a urinal/toilet !! Will never eat here again. Save your time and money go elsewhere.

Excellent food

Me and my wife Naan, Chicken Curry and it was awesome.. nothing to complain about and the service was really good..

Had their lunch special, such a large amount of food for the price you pay, their small size portions are basically a large anywhere else that you d go. Highly recommend stopping in if you re in the area.

The food was delicious I really like the chicken biryani

I usually get sick after eating restaurant food, but this place serves fresh, authentic Indian cuisine that makes me feel great every time. Our family loves the chefs food. Weve tried the veggie Frankie, lamb curry, paneer curry, and gulab jamun (which they make in-house) all very tasty. Were looking forward to going there again and again. Thanks a lot for the great food! Vegetarian options: Tasty

Delicious

Super place, so delicious and friendly. Big portion and great prices

Authentic east indian restaurant. Tried Garlic Naan, Paneer Tikka, Biryani, its top notch. Interacted with Chef/owner, he is nice person and have extensive experience in restaurant industry such Jw Marriot etc. The front desk lady was also very welcoming. Its kid friendly and nicely located in port alberni.

We had the greatest server Ive ever encountered here. The food was great too!

Didnt expect such an authentic fIndian ood experience at Port Alberni...but it was fantastic...the hostess was also great help

My favorite dish thank you spicehut Port alberni for Mango Beef Curry saffron basmati rice which was top notch

Incredible meal at Spice Hut ! Butter Chicken (my favorite) was phenomenal and perfect for sharing. Jessa, our host, was amazing, and the chef even came out to check on us. Amazing service and delicious food at great prices! This place is a must-try. #SpiceHut #IndianFood #Foodie #Eats #GreatService #GoodForSharing #AmazingChef

Compared to other Indian restaurants, Spice Hut in Port Alberni is very pleasantly different. Above-average service, excellent food, stylish ambience and, last but not least, very good price-performance ratio meant that we stopped there twice in a row. Absolutely recommended!

Jessa was very professional, humble and excellent customer service .

We were visiting Alberni , thought of having Indian food. We went to Spicehut Indian cuisine , based on Google reviews , thinking that we get some good Indian food! But apart from the service , the food was a major disappointment. We asked for medium spicy food which turned out to be sweet :). When we asked if it can be made spicy, they gives us green chillies . Even the biryani was tasteless. In hindsight, we should have asked for the most spicy level. Good part was our sweet buds got satisfied , lol We had to abandon eating and packed the food instead ( to give to someone needy) Apart for the lady who provided us the service , nothing else to talk about. A huge disappointment for Indians!

Delicious Indian food with a reasonable price. Would come back again.

Delicious food, great friendly and speedy service. Reasonable prices, will definitely come back again

Loved it!

Great Indian restaurant in Port Alberni. We were very well received and served very well and the meal was excellent and very generous. It was also nice to be able to take the time because the restaurant closed a little later than the others. I recommend it if you are passing through the region.

Today i ordered indian snacks Paneer pakora i like the stuffing nd it was really mouth watering i highly recommend to everybody to go there

Really enjoyed the food and the service of Ms. Jessa. She is so welcoming, well mannered and very friendly. Meal was perfect! Thank you Chef! Thumbs up!

The culinary offerings were impressive, particularly the butter chicken and biryani, which were full of flavor and satisfying. Jessa was a standout, providing warm and attentive service.

Made a reservation with specific requests, the staff here went above and beyond. Absolutely amazing people. Will be coming back often.

All good except the lamb curry tastes like beef

Amazing food by chef Birender and so friendly service by Jessa!! We loved it

The food was amazing! The server was so kind, answered my questions & helped me choose a dish. It was probably the best Indian food Ive ever had. Large enough portions for leftovers :)

Took my mother here and was pleasantly surprised with the experience. The staff did a great job at helping me to celebrate for her birthday.

Absolutely the most delicious coconut curry I have ever had in my life!

Delicious Shahi paneer and very soft and tasty Naan. Loved the Gulab jamuns, very soft.

The meal was perfect Madras lamb butter chicken, j a l f r e i z a chicken, p a l a k p a n e e r

Good food, nice staff

It was wonderful experience for me and family to dine in this amazing indian restaurant in canada. The atmosphere is attactive and the staff if friendly. The chicken biryani and naan were amazing. I have never eaten so much tastier biryani in canada so far. Since I experienced the tasty food in this place I have dined several times here with family and friends. Overall its an exceptional place l! Highly recommend.

Great food, and awesome service. Our server Brooke really made our night. 10/10 would come again. Food : 5/5

Very tasty food I had and restaurant atmosphere wonderful staff are very kind and nice Please friends you have to try once Food

Good food. Highly recommended. Berlin was super patient & managed our big crowd so well.

Enjoyed delicious food with family ..

I placed an order online at 5 p.m. and at 6 p.m. received a text, then an email saying my order was cancelled. Edit: I decided to make a phone call and I talked to the owner, who is a very nice gentleman. Apparently they had some technical issues, and my order didnt even show up on their tablet. Technology, you either love it or hate it.... I will definitely give it another try.

Yesterday, I tried lamb biryani and Vegi Biryani. It was so delicious. The biryani was exactly ahat I was looking for. I was so pleased with the service I received from this restaurant! Thanks :)

Good food excellent service

one of my favorite restaurants in port alberni. the food is consistently delicious. i have dined in, take out, and delivery. the staff is always friendly and helpful. great service. i have very sensitive taste buds and i can tell when a dish is made with healthy ingredients and the food at the spice hut is both delicious and healthy. Vegetarian options: the mutaar paneer was very delicious.

I love the food. One of the restaurant in the town. The staff is really good.

Id say its a little pricey for what it is, but the food was pretty good.

Absolutely amazing. Now I don t have to leave Port Alberni or travel to India. I highly recommend the beef biriyani (I get it hot). It tastes like the real deal with tender melt in your mouth beef. Absolute heaven!

Delicious! I had the butter chicken with Naan and rice. The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy.

authentic food with proper texture and fully flavour Thanks spicehut

My first time in was amazing Great staff, helpful and informative The food was delicious and I look forward to my next time in

Ordered coconut curry twice. Good both times. Med was a bit too spicy for me. Mild was just right.

Very testy food and very nice staff members

This iconic place has been on my bucket list for a long time.The food is without any doubt outstanding, as well as the the staff is very attentive and friendly. The overall experience at the restaurant will give a pleasant feel of the best in class food with a team of world class chef s providing you the food. We ordered the most famous item here i.e Dal makhni, chicken curry, chicken tikaa along with the soft garlic naan. The potful, butter swim dal is enough to remind you to count your calories for the week. Chef are making the best Indian speciality food which is very rare to find canada. Highly recommended

Fantastic new restaurant in Port Alberni. Part of a chain that provides high quality food at reasonable prices. Take out or dine in; the setting is very comfortable and stylish with parking right out front. The front counter and wait staff are friendly and professional, and you will absolutely enjoy your evening here.

We really enjoyed our dinner. Medium spicy for us was perfect. Tasty food, generous portions, and our server was very courteous, friendly, and professional. Ordered takeout on valentines day. We received a single red rose, and a six pack of Ferrero Rochè. Next level service!

Ordered online and gave phone number for updates to the meal. Pick up time was in 45- 55 mins, we get there and they say that there isnt any of one of the main meals we ordered. Why not call and tell us that? Lacks common sense. Foods always good though when we come here.

Delicious! Weve been about half dozen times. Doesnt disappoint!

First time at a Spice Hut. The food was great, service was awesome even at a busy time and just one server. I had the Chicken Biryani, holy yummmm! My friend had butter chicken with rice and the naan looked amazing. Huge servings, lots to take home to the husband. Loved it! So nice to have you here Spice Hut

Beautiful wow food great service thank you spice hut make my day great

I always have a great time eating delicious food at your restaurant. The staffs are committed to great service and are very friendly. Every food I have tried tasted great.

Best Indian food Ive ever had! We ordered several dishes and they were all exceptional. Definitely give this restaurant a try if youre in Port Alberni!

Great food, decent service, reasonably priced.

Excellent food and pricing!

Great food

Good food good service

We had take out service. Foos wassoo good.

Love it! So nice that there is an Indian restaurant in Port again. Hope it lasts. Will go many times. Good variety and very tasty food. Oh, and friendly service!

Best Indian food we ve ever had. Absolutely delicious. The chef even came out to talk with us. Will definitely come in again and highly recommend to family and friends.

In my view its one of the best Indian restaurant in Canada.on request they make curries more spicy according to Indian taste restaurant staff is helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend place to have Indian food in Canada.

First time for us at Spice Hut. Food was perfect. I will go for more spice next time as I wasnt sure what the chef considered medium/ mild. Lots of flavour, not over seasoned. Service was really good until the delivery orders started coming in. There were at least 10 people in and out with Door Dash bags in an hour. One guy was there twice. I assume thats why the dining room service suffered. Not a huge deal. We were going to get dessert but we were done eating and getting bored so we just paid our bill and left. Overall, really good.

Highly recommended for any kind of southasian cuisine. Their mint tikka and malai boti are to die for :) The biryani had some almonds to give mughlia touch! Loved it

This place was great,,! Great food ! Great service from everyone.we had order lamb, chicken korma,palak paneer naan bread we will definitely be coming back!!!

Me and my husband visited first time their I love their samosas it was too delicious I tried samosas from many restaurant but always disappointed.spice hut best samosas ever .thank you guys and girl who is serving the food she was too good thank you from navpreet kaur

Went there for lunch, food was delicious, and the service great! Hope to go back soon. Vegetarian options: Veggie Korma was perfect.

Port Alberni location. Spice Hut, yum! Good food, good portions.

Amazing cuisine. We started with an Appetizer, Veggi Pakora with Tamarind Sauce. Highly recommend Tandoori Fish Tikka! Fantastic mouthwatering Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan Bread. Kudos to the Manager Jenette and Ruby for your amazing service, wonderful kindness and professionalism. Thank you to the amazing chef for a first class cuisine that He created for us. Also thank you for coming out of the kitchen and introducing yourself to us in your chefs attire. We enjoyed your cuisine very much and will be back. Mitchell Family

Had a pleasure of having lunch at this awesome Indian place. Food was very delicious, spice level was great, nice ambience. Janine was a cherry on cake. She is friendly and very considerate. Chef of the house was there to ask for feedback which showcases commitment and excellence. I would really recommend this place for delicious Indian food.

One word - Outstanding!! We were on a trip to Port Alberni and we are glad that we decided to eat lunch at this restaurant. I had the best Chicken Biryani here after tasting various other restaurants across the island in the past few months. We also ordered Chicken in coconut gravy along with garlic naan.l and both were yummy. All in all, a fantastic restaurant with warm service and my suggestion would be to definitely try them out. Oh, I forgot to write ...The interiors is very tastefully designed. Vegetarian options: Since its an Indian restaurant, providing vegetarian option is a must-do :)

My son brought me here for Mothers Day. We were helped by Grace, who was absolutely amazing. And as usual the food was truly spectacular!!! What a lovely experience! Vegetarian options: Aloo (potatoe) gobi (cauliflower). amazing!!, but best of all was the palek....creamed curried spinach. That is the dish I keep going back for!!!!! Parking: easy peasy! right outside the door. Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy access

I always enjoy Spice Hut but tonight I just wanted to write this review (before even eating my meal) to praise the extremely kind gentleman who delivered our order. He was so sweet and very kindly added in an order of rice for us when he saw that we hadn t ordered any. Usually I cook my own basmati rice at home, but what he didn t know was that I have an energy-limiting chronic disease/disability, and tonight I ve been feeling pretty sick and fatigued. I m so appreciative of being saved the effort and additional symptoms that would ve flared up from moving around in the kitchen to cook the rice. A seemingly small gesture can really mean so much to someone. Thank you for your amazing customer service and care!

Delicious food and very nice staff.

It was really good food and chef pravin is really good at cooking

Exquisite mint Tikka tandoori... butter chicken sauce that comes with it was as well.

Great food!

its alright.. but it is a total mccurry. if you just want a mild butter chicken because you are terrified of experiencing spices then this is your place. go for it. the lamb and beef taste the same. the masala and korma and butter chicken dont really taste different. means it probably comes from a jar. in port alberni it is a block away from one of the finest Indian restaurants ive ever had the pleasure of experiencing, in the same price range. skip this place and head up the hill if you have worldly taste buds.

We enjoyed it very much. The portions were plentiful, friendly service and the chef came to us himself to recommend a bedside table.

Loved the food and the combo is perfect for two.

After exploring British Columbia extensively, we found ourselves a bit let down by the Indian cuisine. However, our expectations were pleasantly surpassed when we dined at Spice Hut in Port Alberni. This restaurant serves the most authentic Indian food in North America, with incredible aromatic spices that truly enhance the dining experience. Additionally, the quality of the meat exceeded our expectations, and the Tandoori Chicken was absolutely delicious!

Delicious food

Just Wowwww!! We had lunch and it was so delicious the chef welcomed us with complimentary pakoras which were so yummy that we ended up ordering another plate we had biryani which was so yummy that we ordered takeout for dinner We met the chefs they were awesome so friendly The server she was so nice unfortunately I forgot her name but she was so kind and welcoming Loved it!!!

Very nice restaurant. Would highly recommend in port Alberni.

This is a great Indian restaurant. Big dishes, great Man, and a special basmati rice not found in most Indian restaurants. Highly recommended. Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options.

Good food, specially butter naan and garlic naan.

I have been twice to spice hut .very friendly atmosphere and excellent Indian cuisine we used to drive to parksville for Indian we will have no need to any more we ve tried the lamb vindaloo and palaka paneer and coconut curry prawns and chicken biryani all of it was excellent please support local thank you

Food was delicious, especially the butter chicken was amazing.

We just had food at this place. Really amazed by their hospitality and good food. The lady was very kind and patient. She went over the board by accepting out orders even though the restaurant was supposed to close in 30 minutes. We ordered - - Pakoras (5/5) - perfect spice level - Paneer butter masala (5/5) - very soft home made paneer and perfect taste of the masala - butter nan (5/5) - daal makhani (5/5) - amazing taste and not very heavy

Absolutely delicious food. Location was great. And service was brilliant. Surely one of the best butter chicken I had ever.

Everything was sooo great. Had the masala chicken. It was the best chicken curry ever!!!!! Loved the atmosphere and service was also great. 100% recommended for good indian food. Food

Was traveling through town after 8 pm this is one of the few places open. Incredible service and delicious food. Highly recommend

This is a new top tier dining experience in Port Alberni. The food from Spice Hut is as good as anywhere else for Indian food. We are spoiled to have them!

I had very good experience, my friends recommended md this place and I found real authentic taste and food, staff are polite and very cooperative service is fast, ambience was neat and clean Overall I enjoy my time there Vegetarian options: Bhindi Masala, Kadai paneer , rice and Navratan Dal.

I would highly recommend you all this place is amazing if you are looking for best food in town I tried various food items and each item was delicious and quality moreover staff is cooperative .

The food was delicious and we loved the atmosphere. As we ate, the chef came around and checked on us. It was so nice to see the face behind the food and to be able to compliment him. We got 2 lamb dishes, so tender and perfect. We also bought a small rice and garlic naan. These portions were large and even with 2 of us eating, we had leftovers. Worth every penny!

Excellent food and service.

Authentic indian taste

Awesome people and awesome food. Quality is really good. Definitely recommended!

The food really taste good and the service from the staff in restaurant is also nice,they ask the review about the food and ask for improvement

I recently had the pleasure of ordering food from Spice hut port alberni, and my taste buds were transported to the vibrant flavors of India. From their extensive menu, I chose the Shahi paneer, dal makhni & kadai chicken. accompanied by the delightful garlic naan, rice & roti and I must say, it was an experience to remember. The Shahi Paneer & karai chichen was a true culinary masterpiece. The paneer itself was incredibly soft and perfectly marinated in a rich, flavorful tomato-based gravy. The combination of aromatic spices created a symphony of tastes, leaving me craving every bite. The dish struck a perfect balance between creamy and tangy, making it an absolute delight for anyone seeking an authentic Punjabi experience. The bread was fluffy, yet with a subtle crispness on the outside, making it a perfect match for the rich flavors of the Paneer, daal & chicken. Thank you, Birendar, for an unforgettable culinary journey. Ill be back to savor more of your mouth-watering offerings.

Wonderful food! Ive been to a lot of Indian restaurants and this is definitely one of the best. Port alberni is lucky to have such a great chef!

Very Close to authentic indian food taste!! Great service by the only server!! If you are craving indian food you will not be disappointed Food

Went there for lunch, ordered chicken biryani,Roti, Kadhai Paneer. It took 38 minutes to get the first item to the table when only two of the tables were occupied.There was only one person serving, cleaning, hosting and delivering online orders. The food was delicious, but overall not recommended due to the very long waiting time.

My friend recommended the place, since I new in town when i reached I like the neat and clean ambiance, counter lady also welcome me with her warm smile. I ordered the food need to wait for 15 min around till that time I was enjoying free wifi and bollywood songs. Overall for me it was very good experience Vegetarian options: Kadai paneer, navratan Daal and 4 roti

Our experience was perfect. I honestly can t recommend Spice Hut any more highly. The service was really friendly and the right mix of attentive and stand-off. The food was truly outstanding and the chef even came out and talked about our dishes after we had eaten, as we were so vociferous about how much we enjoyed them. The spice mixes were perfect and the portions were very generous. This is hands down the best Indian food I ve eaten possibly ever. A new firm favourite.

Great food and friendly staff. My go to indian food. Love the Long grain .

We ordered food for a family function and I must say it was one of the best tasting Indian food we have had, we highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was phenomenal, I have celiac disease and there are so many safe options for me. Our server was very attentive to making sure we had exactly what we want and went above and beyond throughout the entire visit! Would 100% return. Dietary restrictions: I am a highly reactive person to gluten, having celiac disease I felt safe and confident eating here

When my friends dish to wasnt as spicy as he was expecting, the staff insisted on replacing the dish for him, even though he had already finished half of his dish. they also provided a small rice to go with it on the house (the small is just as big as the main dish) 11/10, would definitely come back, and bring anyone I know who hasnt gotten to try the delicious food at this restaraunt. Vegetarian options: Gluten free for most of the menu

Food was good, a little bit milder than expected for medium (lots of senior clients) but they will gladly adjust the spice level if you specify you want Indian medium. Naan can also be made crispier or softer depending on what you prefer. Very accommodating.

Kudos to the girl who hosted us on 26th November 2023 around 5 pm. The service was top most and the food was one of the best we had on island. We tried different items and they all were fresh, well cooked and balanced spice level. I really appreciate the great work and the ambience provided without much loud music.

The food is good, chai was also good, I always love eating here

The spice hut in Port Alberni is our favorite restaurant. The food tastes very good , reasonably priced, always hot and generous quantities. The staff is friendly and efficient. The restaurant is also very clean. In December they have a 15% off special for main dishes! Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options Parking: There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant.

Delicious food, excellent service, comfortable atmosphere

Ordered takeout on their opening day. The food was amazing, I can t wait to try all the different dishes. Staff was super friendly as well. Vegetarian options: They have a full section of veggie dishes, I ordered the veggie korma and it did not disappoint!

The online menu was very limited, so that was disappointing. The food tasted great but the portions were pretty small so I was glad I made emergency rice. Id order again but probably not delivery as the menu selection was very limited. Vegetarian options: Veggie korma was good, but more on the tomato side

Delicious! The only recommendation is to serve basmati rice with the lamb korma. Otherwise, full of flavour and very tender.

My first time ordering from this location and I got take-out, I got Chicken Masala with side of rice and Naan bread. The Masala was so tasty and the Naan bread was made fresh in house!! Highly recommend this location, I cant wait to go back very soon to try more dishes!!!

Very tasty

I ve been here twice since they ve been open. I got the tandoori fish tikka the first time around. Ended up ordering it a second time because it s so delicious. Amazing food full of flavour, nice severs, relaxing atmosphere. I love the fact they are open late, we don t have many dinner restaurants in town. Good job. Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options.

A co-worker suggested The Spice Hut. I am SO glad I tried it. I had the Butter Chicken with a side of rice. Both the Butter Chicken and Rice were SO full of flavour. Will DEFINITELY go back again.

I tried this place last night and Im so glad I did! The food was really good. We got butter chicken, daal, coconut curry shrimp and naan bread and rice. It was all really good. The service was also awesome, our server was very nice and the food arrived hot and in a timely manner. Definitely will be back soon.
