I’m a huge fan of Indian food, not least because it usually has a great array of vegetarian choices. A Spicy Affair is no exception and scores itself a VVV rating on the back of its nine veggie mains and four veggie entrees.

These include the very tasty aalo baingan (sautéed eggplant, potatoes and tomato with five spices and coriander), my favourite ever dish palak paneer (spinach and paneer cheese), daal, a korma curry and malai kofta (veggie meatballs).

The main dishes are reasonably priced at $12.90. While not big, they are filling and as rice is served by the mound you won’t go hungry.

All up A Spicy Affair is a good vegetarian choice. The decor is modern, the food is affordable, and the staff are friendly, if a little ad hoc (i.e. they mixed up one dish in our order and didn’t bring out rice). The aalo baingan was the hands down favourite amongst my group. The rest of the dishes were pleasant, if not outstanding.
