We went here to experience a new Indian place for our anniversary and were not disappointed! We have travelled extensively through Asia, and we were soooo happy to find a place with genuine South Indian food. We ordered the masala dosa, which was nice and crispy, and had a curried potato mash on the inside. It also came with a small bowl of tasty dhal on the side as well as several dipping sauces.
Next came our 3 mains (we ordered waaaay too much, but wanted to try some different dishes and have some for home too). These mains were 1) Chicken Varuthara, 2) Beef Curry (thick gravy), and 3) Vegetable Korma. The first 2 dishes were absolutely fantastic, complex flavours that made me remember Asia, and realize how bland most "Butter Chicken" dishes are in Winnipeg. They were also quite different in flavour profile. The Korma was good, but not great; it was a white style Korma with a strong focus on black pepper. All around it was still a great dining experience, but we mostly just care about really delicious food - and we were not disappointed.
We WILL come back for sure. But we will only order one of the South Indian dishes each and maybe a dosa, depending on how hungry we are.
This is by far the best Indian food I have had in Winnipeg.Absolutely love the kappa biryani.the food has the perfect amount of spice.and it delivers what the menu says perfectly unlike other restaurant where spicy means addition of chilli flakes n blandness.really love southern spices and wish it was open nearer to polo park area.
I generally love Indian food but I might have been naive to these particular flavours. I ordered the Indian omelette, knowing it had green curries but it was so completely covered/coated I couldn’t taste anything else. Had two bites and was dying i couldn’t do it. Then I got the south India style veg cutlet which said it had vegetables, bread crumbs, garlic, onion, potato, and ginger, which sounds unreal. Don’t know if there was way too much ginger or why it tasted so spicy but it was burning my mouth off. Now I am aware this type of restaurant is not always for me, but based on that description of menu item I felt it would be okay. It wasn’t it was awful. Last I tried the tomato and onion uttapam and same thing. Just wayyyyyy too much spice in it and I couldn’t eat it at all. Hated everything. And I’ll reiterate that I normally love Indian food but I guess South Indian food is a lot different?
Great food. Original less greasy paper dosa. You have to try the dosa. Tea is great. Authentic South Indian food. They make it fresh. The best South Indian restaurant in Winnipeg.
We have been to Southern Spices several times love the food ,we are very happy to have Southern flavour finally in Winnipeg ,we would highly recommend it for its unique flavour different from 99 % of the other Indian restaurants which all tastes the same .
We went to the restaurant for lunch and we ordered kerala chicken biriyani, chettinadu egg curry and masala dosa... we really like their food and the price is reasonable... We will really going back to the restaurant and we recommend all people should visit this place and try their menu at least once and you will get to know the real taste....
Yesterday I been to southern spices as I was referred by my friends. First I thought it would be same as other Indian restaurant but I was wrong. The dishes I had like dosa , beef curry and kerala style chicken curry made my day. Chicken n beef were perfectly cook as I want it to be soft and was perfectly flavoured. Dosa was served with sambhar, coconut and tomato chutney. I can still feel the taste. Service was awesome. It would be worth to say after so many years in Canada I can say this is the food I was looking for from Indian restaurant. Thank you southern spices staff for serving me authentic taste of South Indian food
It's a worth to visit southern spices to have authentic south Indian cuisine. I love the food quality. Service was up to the mark n we were treated nicely. Menu is filled up with great variety of south Indian dishes. Place was nice n clean. Specially dosa was crispy n chutney served coconut n tomato was awesome. That's there speciality. Believe me visit at least once if u are carving for south Indian taste as they are first in Manitoba.
I have been to this place twice. I have tried several different type of dosa and kothurotti. I suggest this place to anyone who is looking for the real south indian taste. I have tried several other places and this one seems to be the one with the real south indian taste. They make fresh vadai-it is really yammmi...kappa biriyani and beef fry are awsome.
I have been to this restaurant twice already and still planning to go there several more times as their dosas are exceptionally good. I am so glad that we finally have an actual south Indian cuisine in Winnipeg that is authentic and traditional. Though not from the southern part of India, I had spent some quality time in Banglore, Chennai and Kerala and this place and their food, just brought back some memories of those days in my life.
It's one of the good restaurant in Winnipeg they provide very othetic food as a South Indian traditional manner. we did not get such a kind of South Indian food expecially dosas , biriyani and kothuporotta in Winnipeg, I knew that they started just 15 days ago, since their services was excellent. I strongly recommend southern spices .
We had delicious “South Indian” food here, and taste was so good. Great place to visit.
It had good crispy dosas . Overall decent place for having South Indian cuisine. We were driving from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay and found it very convenient en route . Happy that my kid could eat her comfort food. Would certainly return if in this area again.
Washrooms need some renovations though.
