A Taste of Spice restaurant is amazing. When you walk through the front door you are immediatly confronted to the wonderful surroundings of jazz pictures and the relaxing jazz music, giving the eating experience a pleasure. The menu - food list is the biggest i've ever seen in Gouger Street than any other restaurants, giving the alot and best options you can have throughout the four seasons of the year and not to forget a good variety of South Australian winery. I ordered roti and laksa which tasted better than any other MALAYSIAN restaurants i've been to. As a second class restaurant, it provides the best service and value to all people and it will temp. you to come back to this wonderful restaurant.

Discovered this little gem of a place just over three years ago. Every time we shop at The Market we come here for dinner ( every second week!) The service is excellent, the food is mouth watering (Ayam Kapitan is THE winner, in my opinion). This has become my favourite restaurant in the last three years. At the risk of losing a walk in off the street table, I highly recommend it anyone and everyone!

Had a wonderful evening with brilliant food and fantastic service. The staff were very friendly and attentive and always smiling. The food was just wonderful. We shared the entrees of vegitarian spring rolls, vegitarian curry puffs, beef samosas and the crunchy wantons. All were great. We both had serves of the coconut rice with our mains. I had the Beef Rendang and it was just lovely. My wife had the seafood and vegetable claypot and she was very impressed. We both would have loved to try desert, but we were too full. It was a wonderful night full of great food and smiling friendly faces. And we love the jazz decor and music. We'll definately be back!

This is a quintissential Gouger St. place. Sit outside, have a beer, and make sure to order the fried chicken. Vegetable dishes are also very good, and the rice is cooked perfectly and flavorfully. Try the chicken or coconut rices. Specials board is also worth exploring for great seasonal options. I had a fantastic dish of eggplant and okra dry sauteed with malaysian spices. Will definitely be going back to try a fish or seafood dish.

Quiet, attentive service & more than happy to respond to customer needs. The vegie curry is consistently outstanding & the serving sizes generous. The squid however was overcooked in my prawn & squid sambal, though the flavours were lovely.

The staff were are highlight, attentive & friendly, although could be a little over-attentive at times! every time you took a sip of water someone would be over to refill your glass. But were very friendly & just this alone makes you want to go back again. The entrees are a great price & very nice. I had Nasi Lemak Special for main dish, was nice but would not order that again as you only got a tiny tiny amount of the best part of it, the beef rendang. My partner ordered the red curry with lamb and that was delicious and quite a decent portion of food. Jazz music playing in background which was a nice touch. The jazz theme doesnt really match the Malaysian cuisine, but overall a nice atmosphere, good food and great staff. We'll be back again as i saw a few other items on the menu i'd love to try!

I used to regularly enjoy coming here but this week may have been my last visit. They got my order wrong so I got no spice in my dish. My partner had a duck curry with the potatoes not properly cooked & seemed like they'd just been plonked in rather than cooking in the curry juices. Again little spice for a curry. I think that Gouger St has more to offer at these good prices. The staff are always pleasant however but it does lack some atmosphere as it is always quiet when I visit.

A Taste of Spice is an Asian restaurant speciailising in Malay and Indonesian food after a persisting weeklong craving for Laksa got the better of me. The warmly, spiced, coconut broth filled with the goodness of aromatic tumeric spices, fresh pieces of prawn, squid, silken tofu, chicken and noodles was exactly as I envisoned it. The only thing it lacked was the quail eggs I was dreaming about. Although it was a hot day, one of the last bursts of the heatwave, I gave into my desire for the Indonesian dish and devoured it thoroughly satisfied. Our side order of ikan billis (crisp, deep fried anchovies) and chicken satay sticks made for delightful accompaniments.

this place is overrated. i saw the owner shouting vugarities at his employees and that destroys my appetite. nothing special about the food too.
