SAN ANTONIO – An Indian restaurant on the city's Northwest Side that was temporarily shut down last fall after a roach infestation avoided failing another health inspection late last month after an inspector found many flies in the establishment, according to the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District.
Spice Fine Indian Cuisine, in the 4900 block of NW Loop 410, received a 76 and was ordered to go through a reinspection after the May 30 visit from city health officials.

The restaurant was also cited for storing food on the floor and in buckets and for not holding food at the proper temperature.
The restaurant's closure was also notable because Spice continued to operate even after its license was suspended, forcing a health inspector to respond to the restaurant alongside a San Antonio Police Department officer.
