Bio Bistro Spicy Spices

A cute and homey vibe. Massive portions, especially if you get the daily special. They have a little health food selection as well. The guy is super lovely, even gave me 2 free vegan bliss balls! Only downside is that the sides are quite expensive, but if you get the daily special and a drink it's seriously good worth 👍

We had the special of the day, soup and a chick pea curry - all very enjoyable.

Started with an order of Samosa, which came with a side salad and delicious mango chutney (€5), then for the main I had the daily vegan special, which was a lentil Daal and 2 veggie curries on a large bed of ride! (€8)
It was just the one server/cook working in a not-too-busy environment, but he was very caring and ensured everyone enjoyed their meals! No overbearing serving staff, which was great!
I also had the Powerball dessert, which was amazing! 6 for €3.5, I had 2 right away and saved the rest for later!
The food was fairly priced for all organic and lots of fair trade. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere though, especially as its RIGHT off one of the main shopping streets.
The Food was very tasty. I would go back again, if I want flying out this morning!

I didn't like the fact that they offer little portions for quite a high price and that the taste is just ordinary and nothing special. I had better Indian food at a non Indian restaurant.
I tried the gluten free vegetable soup and expected vegetables in it. Instead I got barley and potatoe soup that tasted not good. I asked why they clarify it as glutenfree and got a salad instead. They said its gluten free barley but I didn't trust them and also I didn't want a soup full of carbs and no vegg. Salad was tiny for 4euros! I'm not returning...

We went there for lunch on a Sunday, it was full but we managed to squeeze on a small table, there is not much choice but the food is very good and authentic, therefore a little spicy :) ... the vegan energy balls at the end were delicious, the atmosphere relaxed and the owner very nice. There is also the possibility to buy several vegan food items at the restaurant, including the spicy sauces. I would definitely recommend it and hope to be able to visit again.

very good, i could eat the daily dish every day !

90% of the Menue is vegan. :)

On a quiet Sunday afternoon when not much was open in Salzburg, this restaurant was an oasis.
We had the dish of the day plus a salad €9.50 and it was superb.
Dhal, plus two vegetable dishes and saffron rice -very tasty and beautifully cooked.
There was only one person staffing the place but it all flowed smoothly.
And he was the epitome of calm.
Highly recommended.

This place satiated my huge desire for real food. I am gluten free and vegan, and have been living on salads for most of my visit. Thank goodness I found this place! I ordered two orders of the lunch of the day meal. So satisfying! Amazing choice--definitely worth a visit!

Friendly, cosy little restaurant. It's not gourmet, it's home-cooked tasty food, good portion sizes (and more offered if you finish), and very reasonable prices.
No shiny chrome or fancy garnishes; do not come if you want a posh evening out. Do come if you like individual places and want unpretentious real food.

We were staying at a hotel just nearby and I was using happycow to find vegan places. I didn't really feel like having Indian food but this was right down the road and had some good reviews. I have to agree! I had a taster plate of three curries with basmati rice for something like 7.50 euros, really good and filling. I also had a mango lassie with soy yoghurt - I was so happy!!! The vegan loaves were also very good. Would recommend this place. They also sell vegan chocolates and other vegan items. Oh - and several indian people ate there too which is always a good sign for the cuisine!

My partner and I stumbled across this lovely place upon our first little walkabout around Salzburg, and it was like a godsend. Not only are there vegan options, but many of the meals are also gluten-free (which is such a rarity to have so many gluten-free options in one area). They have a range of curries to choose from, meals based around tofu steaks, salads, entrees and desserts as well as a daily special with a variety of curries on your plate. Not all options are vegan as there are a few involving cheese, however this restaurant offers some of the greatest vegan/Indian we have ever eaten. The service was humble, and the interior decor was lively and quaint. We went there twice in our three day stay as the choices were overwhelming for us! A perfect night out!
Updated from previous review on Sunday February 01, 2015

The food here is delicious, although somewhat limited, but the staff was not very good and vegan/vegetarian wasn't clearly differentiated. We ate here twice as it was fortunately right outside our hotel and on the second time I asked what was vegan - it turns out anything not marked vegetarian is vegan, but some things are marked vegan (and others no marking) which is what confused me. They are so vegan/veg foods to go, packaged foods, body & home products here. If you love Indian cuisine then this restaurant is authentic and worth checking out.

We had a lovely meal there! The food was delicious, and the service was fairly quick. It looked like the owner was the only person working there, but it didn't slow the service. The food was truly delicious - I highly recommend the paneer and naan.

I have to say this is an interestingly worthwhile place located in a wonderful part of this most idyllic city. My first visit was in October 2008 which was very enjoyable but this review is based on our most recent experience in October 2012. It looks like they've had a bit of a makeover giving the place a more modern look but still retaining a traditional feel. Very friendly and welcoming staff, I phoned ahead to see if it was open as when we tried to go in October 2011 it was closed with the owner visiting family in India. The seating is informal and the atmosphere very relaxed. The daily special is €6.50 which consists of 3 different types of curry dishes served over pilau rice or you can pay €8 and get the soup too. Personally, I felt this option was bland with the soup being particularly poor. It was just vegetables boiled in spicy water. I would recommend the chapatis and to ask for the pickle jar for only an extra €0.50. However, it is excellent value and a real treat if you are hungry. Next time I would try asking for one of the dishes from the main menu which look very appealing indeed such as a tofu or aubergine curry. Hot drinks are available as well as tasty organic wine and beer. They also sell a small selection of vegan and vegetarian foodstuffs and groceries. I definitely intend on going back but would probably not have the daily special again as I felt it was just bulk food for the weary and starving traveller.

This is the only place in town where you can find organic, original North Indian food - vegan.
The owner, Suresh, is a very nice guy and good cook.
Lunch consists of only one dish (rice + dhal + vegetables) and if you like soup.
The main dish (without soup) costs 7,50€.
You can sit outside in summer. Inside there are I guess max. 20 sits, simple but nice.
Cakes are only partially vegan.

I'm from Salzburg and study abroad, but whenever I'm home, the whole family eats out at Spicy Spice - it's basically family tradition. We eat there because of the tasty organic Indian food. The portions are generous and we have always been asked if we want second helpings! A huge plus is the location, as it's very conveniently situated in the old town. The staff has always been exceptionally friendly to us, which is also why we return as often as possible! I greatly recommend this cosy bistro to anyone, especially to vegetarians and vegans, as it can be really difficult to find decent healthy food in the meat-dominated Austrian cusine.

Small and cozy restaurant with an Indian-inspired interior and a very relaxed atmosphere. There is also a shelf with some vegan food and Indian specialities that you can purchase, like a little shop. Service was not that good, we needed to wait a little long although there were not so many people in the restaurant. I liked the food, it tasted good and was also good value, although I would call it "Indian-inspired" - it was not like the food in other Indian restaurants I have visited, and not spicy at all.

You can choose your dish from a menu or take the daily meal. In the menu, it is indicated which dishes are vegetarian and which are vegan - very convenient! We had spring cabbage and tofu in mild mustard leaves curry sauce, pumpkin, brocolei and quinoa in mild herb sauce, chick peas dal and fennel, zucchini & oat flakes soup. As said above, it all tasted good, but it was not spicy and some of it didn't taste Indian at all.

Very bad atmosphere. Too dark, walls too red, too esoteric... no music, just the sound of the fridge. Waitress was okay, but in my opinion not polite enough. Meal was good, bit extraordinary, but really spicy. Even my omnivore boyfriend was satisfied. We might come back, but won't sit inside.
