If you are looking for authentic, deeply flavorful South Indian cuisine in the Irvine area, Southern Spice is a fantastic spot to check out.The food here is packed with genuine, homestyle flavor. We started with a crisp, perfectly made dosa and some fresh garlic naan, which were both incredible. For the main course, their paneer dosa is easily a standout—the basmati rice is wonderfully fragrant.The ordering format is casual, low-key, and efficient, keeping prices reasonable...read full review
I have been coming to this place for close to 7 years, and the quality has been going down for the past year.
They send out promos every other week and can't handle the orders, making us wait for food close to 90 minutes even after their tracker says it is ready.
Badly in a need of a quality Indian restaurant in this area.

Southern Spice offers an ethnic ambiance with polite waiters serving delicious Indian food. The menu features a range of dishes, including Masala Dosa, Ulvacharu Biryani, and Chicken Tikka Masala, all made with rich spices and flavors. Guests can also enjoy gluten-free options like Mehdu Vada, savory "donuts" served with delicious sauces and sambar. The establishment offers QR codes for each table which featured an easy ordering and payment system. The food is well spiced, properly cooked and vegan options are all clearly marked on the menu. The decor is amazing, with authentic carved Indian tables and a bright, airy space. The service is efficient and great, with food delivered fairly quickly. The Biryani dishes are consistent and amazing, with one entree usually feeding two people. The establishment is a hidden gem in Orange County and a favorite Indian food restaurant in Irvine.
