cherry's the spice

all i can say is: if you want an indian resto with really good food, a great rustic setting with a dining area where you can smoke, and pleasant service, then cherry's the spice is the perfect place for you.

my fiance knows i love indian food so he took me here. we had paneer tikka masala (cottage cheese tofu with tomato-based gravy) and mutton curry, with butter naan. we got really stuffed and satisfied. thewaitresswas very friendly, and upon entering, you are immediately served with a pitcher of water.

definitely a must-try and must-frequent! 👌👍

finally "dosa" arrives in cebu! it was a news delivered much delayed but one which got me dialing the restaurant number immediately for reservations. my first visit here was last year when my husband and i ordered dosas, extra sambar, mutton biryani, mutton curry, idli (not available), naan, lassi....like two people starving for south indian food. and we were not disappointed! next visits i tried other items (and dosa of course). after experiencing various indian restaurants in cebu, i would say 'the spice' is closest to authenticity. only minus is staff. in my last two visits my table tasted spoilt potato fillings and (dare)mentioned it to thewaitresswho just gave us a bad look and said 'no it's fresh' 😊. that was the end of my love story with deliciousness..

the service is really very slow and place inside isn't that clean/presentable. i've observed that theirwaitressaren't polite compared to other restaurants even in jollibee. when we entered the restaurant, thewaitressdint even great us, i did not hear them saying "good evening mam/sir", just like any other restaurants that i've been to. so yaaaaa, i was not satisfied.

really slow service. the food is okay but could have been better. i once ordered roti and i was really disgusted to see thewaitresshandled it with her bare hands. i wonder where those hands went before that.

really happy that i finally found a decent indian restaurant here in cebu! had the paneer butter masala, naan, mango lassi and the chicken tikka and it was all good and very filling. since i brought my 3 year old with me, i also ordered some french fries and that too was esquisite as they also added a few spices to make it more "indian." when we entered the restaurant, we entered the wrong entrance so we were welcomed by a strong aroma of spices and cheap looking seats similar to what you see at larsian. good thing thewaitressbrought us to the airconditioned room where most guests were seated and indian statues and pictures could be found. they also played a cute bollywood movie wherein thewaitresshad no idea what the title was, plus there were no english subtitles. this could either be good or bad thing because instead of catching up with each other, me and my friend talked about how cute the actors were and busily googled what the movie was, which we later found out was entitled, 2 states. i heard from other friends that their service was quite slow during their visit but for us, it was just like any other restaurant; however we did ate there for lunch. bravo staff of the spice!
