Indian Spice House

Downtown's sole option in the realm of Indian food, but depending on how big a role atmosphere plays in your ideal dining experience, it may be the only one you need. The Spice House's menu doesn't stray far beyond the usual lineup of North Indian specialties, but consensus says the preparation is a bit more authentic than most places around town (although, counterintuitively enough, the odds-on favorite dish served here is chicken tikka masala, arguably the least "authentically Indian" Indian specialty around). But the true claim they stake on the Buffalo culinary map is as the only place in town that serves Indian Chinese food; if you're interested in trying out this hard-to-find fusion, opt for the chicken or vegetable Manchurian. Downsides include surly staff, and as mentioned earlier, a spartan and grungy ambience.
