A few weeks ago, I wrote a good review of 5 Spice, and gave 3 stars for the quick service and big portions. I had not liked the food then, but I decided to give this place another chance.
This time around, the food was absolutely unbearable. So oily and spicy that the actual taste of ingredients was killed. My non-veggie friends (who love spicy food) also couldn't tolerate it. The ambiance was noisy and irritating and hot! We kept requesting the waitstaff to turn on the AC but they just wouldn't pay heed. We called for 1 mocktail per head, and shared rice and noodles amongst 8 people - and coughed up Rs.450 per head!
Okay...no more chances. 5 Spice is off my list.
