    Wow absolutely delicious! I don’t brag about most restaurant experiences but wow I love this place. The owner is super friendly and energetic and makes the whole experience very welcoming! Super clean inside well maintained and the food is simply amazing. Drove in from 45mins away to try this place .. cafeteria style line and they even give you samples.. Priced just right and wow come hungry because they fill your plate! I am from Dallas and this place tops what I have ever had. Must try and worth the drive!

    This place has really great food, I would stop in the middle of the road just to come here. This place deserves more attention. The place is clean and is a nice place to rest after a long trip.

    Never thought some of the best Indian food I ever had would have been in Kingsville Tx. Everything was loaded down with spice. The flavors were complex but wonderful. I ordered the two entree platter. Couldn’t make up my mind so the man serving threw a little sample of other stuff on top. I cannot remember exactly what I got, but it was all good. You get naan with it. You can choose between garlic or buttered. I went with garlic. The staff were really friendly and nice. This will become a frequent stop from now on.

    This place is really a hidden gem in a small town. The owner was extremely friendly. It was our first time and he gave us a sample plate to taste several of the dishes they have available. Was totally impressed with the food. We proceeded to order 2 plates with 2 entree servings each. The food was extremely flavorful. The beef and lamb meatballs were the real deal. The sauce was pure bliss. Actually wanted to order a side of sauce to pour over the rice. The Nan bread was worth every bite, got 2 pieces, one with garlic and butter and one with only butter. They were equally delicious and the servings are quite generous. 2 thumbs up for anyone wanting to eat some really great food. Will definitely be going back again.

    Simply outstanding! The service is extremely personal and second to none, while every single dish I've tried is absolutely on point. Your first visit they make you a sample plate with a tasting of everything they offer before they'll let you order, and if anything that makes the choice all the harder, but you can't go wrong with ANYTHING. Oh, and try the loaded fries.

    Never been here before, heard a ton of great things from friends and reviews. The first thing i noticed when i got out of my car is the amazing smell. The food smells delicious even from outside... When I got in I was suprised at how clean it was inside. I've been to alot of places that have me second guessing my life when I walk in. Not here. The place was super busy when we got there, nonetheless we were greeted with smiles by very friendly staff. I haven't really ever had Indian food so I ordered what the girl in front of me ordered. Spicy rice, green chicken roast and chicken 65....it was amazing. I already made plans with my wife for a second visit. If you're in Kingsville try this place you will not be disappointed. Update..... Still amazing... Great service... Great food... Will be back

    An absolute gem! One of the best Indian places I’ve ever been to and the food reminisced me of restaurants back in India. It’s a cafeteria style restaurant where you get to choose the items you want to eat. The owner is just wonderful and let’s you taste each item before making a choice. A must visit!

    I've always wanted to try new things and was always scared. If it's your first time, they will give you a sample plate of each item to see which one you like. Very friendly owners, with great food and atmosphere. Well worth the drive for your family feast. Their prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Highly recommend it!!!

    Best Indian food in the region. If you're around the Kingsville area you need to make a stop at the Spice Station. Everything is great starting from the staff to their food.

    This is the place to go. Period. The customer service is welcoming and make everyone feel like they are family. Without question, this is the best service I’ve had in TX. When it comes to the food. I haven’t had better India food in my entire life. As someone who has traveled the world and experienced this culture everywhere. I can promise you that I’ve never had Indian food this delicious. This restaurant is the type of small time, family owned restaurants that are often overlooked. I can promise that I will come back here and look forward to eating here again.

    Just wanted to say how wonderful this place is. I tried Indian food once it was so so but my wife was craving butter chicken she has seen on tik tok. We researched and read reviews and Spice Station was the choice. We drove from Corpus Christi to try this place and WOW. Amazing service it was like we were invited to this man’s home for dinner. That’s how he made us feel so welcomed. The food was Great and the garlic nan was addicting. A must stop and definitely going back.

    On point. Eaten at many Indian restaurants over the years. And this place is legit. The Naan bread is really good.

    Wow. This place is absolutely amazing. When I first walked in I was over whelmed with choices. As I was unsure what to order, the man behind the counter was super friendly and provided me with a sampler plate. It was all sooo good. It made my choices for the actual meal difficult since everything I tried was fantastic. The chicken was cooked to perfection and all of the curries were bursting with flavor. The only negative thing I can say about this place is that it is far from where I live! This place is definitely worth the visit if you are in the area! Next time I’m down that way I will be back!

    I'll admit I was skeptical about these high reviews from this little town, but Spice Station has earned it's high rating. The food is absolutely delicious. We had the cheese & spinach, butter chicken, coconut peanut chicken tikka masala, chicken 65, a veggie samosa and a garlic naan. All of it: Excellent. The owner is super friendly and encourages you to taste test before you order. Can not recommend this place enough. It's a 5 minute drive from the Tesla Supercharger.

    Hand downs the best Indian food I've ever had! 😋 They were so kind and patient with some of my friends that had never had it before. They even let us try a few different preparations so we could be sure to find something we liked! Would recommend this to anyone nervous about trying a new restaurant! It was amazing 👏

    Wow! A great experience at this restaurant! Went through the drive thru and told them first time there and what they recommended. The lady asked one of the owners and he invited me to come in to try some samples. I took the invitation and the younger owner served me 4 different kinds of their chicken. I chose two different meets with a regular and spicy rice. The food was fantastic, full of Indian spices; I had their chicken & spinach and their spicy chicken. I also ordered naan bread, very buttery and garlic taste. I didn’t finish the meal because of all the big pieces of chicken. This food is also good leftover, warmed in a microwave. When I visit Kingsville, I will definitely be back.

    Never would of thought to find this gem in Kingsville, Texas. It deserves all of the hype. Pictured left: 65 chicken, green chicken, spicy basmati. Middle: butter chicken sauce for dipping. Left: regular basmati, lamb and beef meatball (favorite), spinach chicken. Two samosas as well that were great and some fantastic garlic naan not pictured. Highly recommend. The owner is also very nice and personable.

    Ramadan season and only thing in mind would be Haleem. Spice station simply nailed it for the price and quantity serving ratio without compromising on quality on special order only. Please go for a small tray of Haleem at spice station in kingsville and thank me later. 💫👌🏽

    There's a reason why this restaurant has remained in business over the years. Very humble and inviting staff. The food was delicious and options for the special were considerable. $10.99 for naan bread, choice of basmati rice (regular or spicy), and two proteins was more than enough. There were seven of us, and six to-go boxes were needed. Enjoyed the Chicken 65, spicy rice, and the meatballs. As someone in the food industry, I also observed how the newer line cook/server was being trained. Coaching and communication with a positive demeanor. Something that speaks volumes in hospitality. If the food wasn't already delicious, I would go back to support staff who support each other.

    This place is hands down the best Indian food in South Texas, maybe even all of Texas. We highly recommend the Butter chicken or Lamb meatballs. But everything on the menu is delicious! There is something for everyone. The service is great as well. Very nice, courteous, and caring. It is recommended for a quick lunch, family dinner, or date night.

    A very delicious meal consumed! Amazing flavors and superb customer service! Stopped by here on my way back home last night and this meal hit the spot! Owner is very friendly and I was provided samples of their chicken and rice portions to hale me make a choice! This food is very delicious and I ordered a second dinner plate to go! I wish this place was also located in the Rio Grande Valley!

  • 5/5 Javier B. 3 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    First time here they offered us a sample, It was amazing definitely recommend Chicken 65, Butter Chicken, Meatballs & Spicy Rice but you can do half and half on the rice. The two Gentlemen were very friendly and down to earth I’ll definitely be making the 30min drive.

  • 5/5 Sadie M. 7 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Absolutely the BEST Indian food in texas! Everything is soooooo delicious. We drive 2 hours just to eat here. It's that good! Service and staff are fantastic as well. Come once, and you'll be dying to come back!

    I had never been, and the people that took care of me. Let me have samples of everything so I can get an idea of what I wanted. It was so hard to choose what I wanted to put on my plate, but regardless everything was so flavorful and so good. The employees were amazing and so was my time there. I can’t wait to go back!

  • 5/5 Briana A. 9 months ago on Google
    This place is the absolute best. I am from CC and will get a plate to go and it’ll last me 2-3 meals. It is worth the drive. This food is made with LOVE. I would totally recommend to anyone who is looking for something different or that is trying to get out of their comfort zone. Owners are so nice as well!!

    Love to eat here so decided to come here for my birthday yesterday and it did not disappoint as always. But what made it special was it felt so homie eating there. Z and everyone there made my family and I feel at home and was even talking to us. I think I will be spending my birthday here again next year. :)

    Decided to stop by Spice Station on our way through Kingsville after seeing their spot on Texas Bucket List and I'm glad we did. The food was excellent and the owner is every bit as nice as he seemed on TV. Genuinely nice person and that extends to everyone that helped me on both visits. It's clear they want you to enjoy your food and time there and are happy to let you try anything before you purchase. My only regret is we live so far away.

    This place is amazing! Some of the biggest portions I've ever seen of an Indian restaurant and the food was delicious. It was very flavorful. All the dishes are laid out and they serve you to-go, dine-in, or drive-through. It was our first time and they let us try a bunch of different dishes. All of the staff was very kind and friendly. The music was NOT obnoxious, unlike some of the other reviews. The staff also continually checked on us and helped bag up the food that we hadn't finished since they give amazing portions. We look forward to going back the next time we're in town.

  • 5/5 Savannah 2 years ago on Google
    I am addicted!! The food is so good and always tastes hot and fresh. It's a wonderful addition to town and provides something new to taste. The bread is also really good. The employees are really nice and make you feel comfortable like your at home or at a friend's house.

    This place had good reviews, so we got take-out for dinner. It's a buffet style where you choose a one/two/three main dish plate with a choice of spicy or plain rice. One was a Beef/Lamb Meatball and Ginger Chicken Marsala. The other was the meatballs with the Okra and Tomato Stew. I found the meatballs to be very tender and the sauce not spicy at all. It was good. Unfortunately, the Ginger Chicken Masala was disappointing. The chicken was very dry. I didn't end up finishing it. The Okra dish. Some of the okra was stringy/woody and tough. This usually happens if the okra is old or left too long on the plant. Another disappointing dish. As sides we ordered were garlic naan and two egg rolls. The naan did not taste freshly made. More like slapped with a little butter and garlic and repeated. The garlic was not very noticeable. The eggrols were okay, but they did not have a lot of flavor. Service was very friendly. Sadly, not a favorite for us.
