Spicy India Indian Restaurant

“Better Chicken really lives up to its name. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, with seasoning that hits the sweet spot between savory and bold. The sides were fresh, well-portioned, and complemented the meal nicely. Service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant had a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Overall, a great spot for anyone craving high-quality chicken done right.” See you next time🎯💯%

Excellent Indian just off the esplanade. The people are genuinely helpful. I was offer to taste a fish pakora the staff were having! The biriyani is superb and the tandoori platter is the same. Will be back next time we are in Cairns

Spicy India was big surprise and we will definitely be returning on any future trips to Cairns. The staff are engaging and helpful. The curries are extremely tasty. We had prawn madras & lamb Rogan.. samoas & fish pakora for entree.. Peshwari naan was fresh and tasty.. a great experience

My wife and I had the absolute best experience. The owner and his wife were incredibly welcoming and hospitable and our food was cooked to perfection. The chef was able to accommodate our dietary restrictions and made us delicious samosa chaat and a phenomenal crocodile main course, adding the perfect amount of spice to the dishes where the natural flavors of the ingredients weren't overshadowed at all. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, but since we can't, Spicy India will undoubtedly be a revisit on our next trip to Cairns!

Went to Marinades first. Chef refused to accommodate a few dietary restrictions. Spicy India, on the other hand, was super super accommodating. Chicken Manchurian, paneer masala, fish pasanda, samosas and all naans were outstanding. Raita was average. Service was amazing too, on Christmas Day!! Madras chicken was

Spectacular food, with recommendations from our server that were (off menu) 💯🥂 We met the chef / owner who has such a warm & generous heart. Thank you for a fantastic night

My experience here was honestly one of my best highlights while in cairns. I’m not even exaggerating when I say the butter chicken has been the best butter chicken I have ever tried. The atmosphere felt so homey, the staff was so friendly I would 100% recommend coming to eat here and I will definitely be returning!

Terrible. Place has gone downhill greatly in the past 18 months since last eating here, should of checked the reviews before ordering. The butter chicken was filled with gristle and had no taste, rice was over cooked and crunchy. Garlic cheese naan was edible but seems a bit undercooked. $51 is well overpriced for what they offer. Sad to see it go downhill, maybe new owners or staff.
