I'm starting my review upon entry. This restaurant has a musty odor. I have ordered and was surprised that there is no mango chutney available. The meat samosa has an excellent crust but the filling is flavorless. It reminds me of sloppy joes! The chicken tikka and rice are also lacking in flavor. A little salt goes a long way. I'm bringing my food home to doctor it up! Now the gulab jamun is a treat. Served warm as it should be… Lots of syrup, though it needs a touch of rose water . Nuts and raisins on top are unusual but welcome. In all, I'd go through the tunnel to the city for better Indian .
Went here on a Friday night, around 9. Ordered the meat samossa appetizer and for the main course, got the spinach paneer and the chicken tikka masala. All of them tasted really good. The paneer dish had a very nice roasted garlic flavor, which I really enjoyed. The chicken was a tad dry. The garlic naan was outstanding. Services was prompt and courteous.
I have been here twice for their lunch special. It's $8.99 plus tax, and you get to stuff yourself with endless plates of food. I just started eating Indian food, and I must say, this place gives it such a great impression! I honestly wished I knew the names of the food by heart, but I don't. Everything is good here. You can't beat the flavors of each dish! Service is good, and they keep replenishing the food when it gets low. No complaints about this place!
Why do you not deliver to Edgewater!!!! 🙁
I used to live two blocks away from this restaurant and ordered at least once a week. I've moved to Edgewater, NJ and they don't deliver to my area. It breaks my heart….
You MUST try their Chicken Tikka Masala and their Garlic Nan. Their Mango drink was also pretty good. Excellent customer service, speedy delivery, and mouthwatering food. Missing it all..
I'm on a Indian kick right now….can't get enough….and I love this place!
Non-Veg Sampler is better then Veg but if Veg is your thing it's not bad either…
The Hari Chutney is delicious!
Chicken Madras is my favorite here….I can not get this at any of my local (Brunswick area) Indian restaurants?!?!? Don't know why?!?!?! Had it once at a place in North Arlington….they were good, Touch Of Spice is better. I order it spicy…heat wise (like most Indian places I've found) they cater to Western taste buds (I wish it was traditional and then I could gauge from there).
The Naan is good (esp. the garlic) not sure why there are mixed reviews.
Server is pleasant and attentive…according to the aristocratic lady sitting two tables away his name is James….some how I don't think that's his birth name…
I was planning on going to Kinara in Edgewater for their lunch buffet, but they were closed for renovations. My wife and I had our hearts set on an Indian buffet so we decided to give touch of spice a chance. Unfortunately it's no Kinara.
I'll start with the positives. It's relatively cheap, and the Tandoori chicken may have been the best I've had ANYWHERE. The chicken overly dry like it is at most places.
Unfortunately ant vegetable dish was disappointing. The saag paneer in particular was very disappointing. It wasn't warm enough and it tasted like i bought it frozen at a store.
It's kind of a small place so we didn't feel like we could have a private conversation. It seemed like anything we said could be heard by anyone if they wanted to.
The buffet selection was also a little weak in comparison with Kinara. I was hoping for a little more. To top it off the food didn't even seem to have the touch of spic re that the name of the restaurant conveyed. It was completely mild.
All in all its not a bad place but not really that good either. If you are in the mood for Tandoori chicken then this is the place to go.
Smaller restaurant, just opened about 2 years ago. Good delivery times, and staff is nice in person and on the phone. The lunch buffets are great. Love their Aloo Gobi!
We were lazy about making NYE dinner reservations and a few days prior to NYE, I suggested to my fiance that we go to Touch of Spice for dinner. We didn't call ahead and made reservations and when the day arrived, I did worry a tiny bit that maybe the restaurant would be packed.
Before we decided to head over to the restaurant, I called and they said they had tables available for the two of us. We got there around 7:30 and as always, really enjoyed our food. We brought a bottle of wine and spent a few hours drinking and dining.
For a night that is generally super expensive for dining out (aside from Valentine's Day of course), we really had such a treat for a very reasonable amount. There were other patrons at the restaurant and it seemed like everyone was taking their time and enjoying the holiday.
