Spice Hut Indian Cuisine. - Ladysmith

I love it!!<br/ <br/ Vegan Option: Yes<br/ <br/ I am incredibly picky about indian food but I visited Spice Hut recently with my family and I was not let down.I do not like mild curries! I was dying for a more authentic Indian cuisine experience on Vancouver Island and I found it. We ordered all the vegetarian dishes and each one was spiced differently. The spices used were fresh and fragrant and you could really tell there was a distinct difference between the spices used in each dish. I've been to many great (and terrible) Indian restaurants when I lived in Vancouver and this definitely compares to some of the best. It is spicy and delicious! Best Indian food I have had on Vancouver Island for sure. I'll be back again next week!

UP Butter chicken, rice and naan was spot on. Fresh and boasting with flavor.<br/ <br/ DOWN Prices aren't too bad, but I feel the portions are on the small side.<br/ <br/ OUT We phoned in and got our food to go. I wouldn't mind sampling some starters next time as I wasn't completely full after my meal, but the quality was great.

We will be back.. We went to the Spice Hut with my in laws for dinner. We all love Indian food and have even to several good restaurants in Surrey and Vancouver for Indian food. We where not disappointed. The lamb masala was the highlight of our meal. Moist, tender, with just a hint of heat. The lamb curry and the beef kabobs where also very good. The plain and garlic naan where delicious.I found portion size to be typical of Indian restaurants and was more than enough for the 4 and 1/2 that where eating. We all left ver full and satisfied.Our waitress was attentive and helpful. She brought my 4 yr old a colouring book and crayons as soon as we sat down. When I spilled chicken curry on my shirt, right at the end of our meal, she brought me a clean cloth and a bowl of soda water to prevent any stains.We will definitely be eating here again.As to people previous comments about the rice and naan needing to be order on top of the main dishes. That's how Indian food I usually done. It's family style. You order your mains, the type of rice and or bread you like.They do have a few combos for those eating on their own.

Food is good. The food is good, but like others, I wonder why Naan and rice do not come with the dishes? An Indian type salad would also be a bonus. The Italian dressing is also a mystery?? Twice I have been and it is okay.<br/ It is pricey, so I ordered a Keema Naan $6.99 (stuffed Naan) which was good and filling for lunch. <br/ <br/ The decor is lacking. Surely it would be easy to hang sarongs over the brick at the unused bar. <br/ The wine is too warm as it is not kept at the correct temperature.

Went for lunch.... The service was nice, the food was very good, but the prices very high in comparison to other places and for what is recieved....the portions were not generous. Naan and rice is not included (thus, 16.99 for fish curry needs rice ordered). We had to order a second rice as the rice portion was small. That's the first time I've ever had to order extra rice at an Indian meal. It was the second most expensive lunch I've ever had and there was one bite left, so not much to take out. They need an authentic katchumber salad on the menu as there are no fresh or fermented items on the menu.
