Staying at The Entrance, I saw a sign advertising this restaurant near the channel and famous bridge, and decided to investigate. The restaurant is strangely located inside a motel, the El Lago Waters Resort, and boasts a view of the swimming pool. Upon entering Spice Affair, I noticed that the owners appeared to be of South Indian appearance, and this excited me, since it is difficult to find South Indian food on the Central Coast. Sure enough, the restaurant serves roti bread instead of naan, and features plenty of vegetarian specialties such as grilled soya chops. In the end, I went North Indian/Pakistani by ordering the goat karahi. It was spicy and full of flavor, and left me drenched in sweat. This is the type of culinary adventure I crave for! I am sure I will be back for more in the future.

Approximate cost: $20
