The Spice Hut on Argyle Street is my favourite restaurant in Port Alberni. These days, I seem to "accidentally forget" my lunch at home two or three days a week. There are lots of choices on the menu, and they have a new lunch special that is an excellent deal. I have always enjoyed their samosas, but their revamped recipe has changed them from "delicious" to "absolutely glorious." They're moist and tasty, the crust is light and crispy, and they are big! You can set your spice level for most saucy dishes. I choose "hot." (but I always make sure I get an iced tea, too) On top of all that, the staff are always friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere in the dining room is very calm and welcoming. Whether you have time to relax and enjoy, or need something quick to grab and go, the food here is excellent in every respect.

My recent dining experience at Spice Hut Indian Cuisine was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance. The attentive staff made me feel welcome and provided impeccable service throughout the evening. The menu offered an array of tantalizing options, and each dish surpassed my expectations. The flavors were exquisite, and the presentation was artful, demonstrating the chef's expertise and attention to detail. Every bite was a burst of culinary delight, leaving me craving for more. Chicken Biryani is one of the best I ever had in Canada. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant and sophisticated, creating a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. It was the perfect setting for a memorable evening with loved ones or a special occasion. In conclusion, this restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. From the delectable cuisine and attentive service to the inviting ambiance, it delivered an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary journey.

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!

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.

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.

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
