  1. I recently came here for dinner – I ordered the standard chicken tikka masala and vegetable samosa. Both were delicious and generous in portion size. Naan was also cooked nicely with a slight crisp to one side of the bread, which I like. It was a little disappointing that they didn't have papadum as I love having that with my meal and their menu was a bit on the short side – other than that I would say this is a pretty good spot to get some good Indian food. Our waiter was attentive and the prices are fair.

  2. Bottom line: go here, and do it often.

    Decor: Definitely great for a date night location. Super clean interior, which I love in a restaurant. The interior looked modern and sleek to me.

    Meat in three different ways. How could you not love it? The spices in the meat really pack a punch, so you're welcome for the suggestion.

    Entree: Chicken Saag and Navratan Kurma
    The girlfriend, and I, ordered both of these and we were in heaven. We shared the plates, a la family style, and it was the best tasting Kurma we've ever had. In fact, these are usually the same dishes we order whenever we eat from here. They're consistently scrumptious.

    Happy eating!

  3. I am always looking for good Indian in the neighborhood, so when I saw Indian Spice had opened up, I knew I needed to try it. I ordered this last night and was so happy I did! I got my usually Malai Kofta and was blown away. The flavors were incredible. Rich and creamy and fully of spice. I loved this. The raita was wonderful as well and the Naan was baked perfectly. The prices are very reasonable and delivery was fast! This is for sure my new go to Indian spot when ordering!

  4. Pakora was crispy with a tasty sauce, samosa and pani poori had too much potato filling, aloo takiyas (potato cakes) were also dense.

    Main dishes are served individually with small portion of rice on each plate, not family style which made it hard to share. Garlic naan was soft and warm but lacked garlic, paratha was extra crispy.

    Good service!

  5. Fantastic food. We ordered chicken Marsala and Lamb Madras and were very good.  The chicken was juicy and the lamb was tender and soft. The garlic nan was also super good. The roti was not too great, only reason why I don't give it a 5 star. Delivery was on time. Happy eater!

  6. I was so very pleased with the curries, decor and service of this new establishment. It has come a long way from its predecessor and perhaps was I was tentative to try it. I had the Persian style Saag with Lentils, spinach and chicken. As a Persian, it made me almost cry it was so tasty and familiar. My company had a lovely Vindaloo. He enjoyed it, but it was no where near the spice level he had hoped for. The environment is lovely, warm and spacious and the service I felt was outstanding. But the Rice. Our rice was dry and slightly under-cooked  (the crunchy middle you shouldn't have). It was also about two tables spoons next to 2 cups of curry.  Considering the rest of the meal, I'm hoping this was an anomaly.

  7. Sorry, I do not understand all the rave reviews. This place is adequate at best. I have to admit I am a bit of a harsh judge on Indian restaurants as I have studied under a top Indian chef and cook a lot of Indian at home.  Sometimes I am just too lazy or tired to prep though so I was very excited to have a new Indian place open down the block. The restaurant itself is lovely and waitstaff is very nice but the food is lackluster and pricy for the portion size.  I have tried it a few times and the best thing I ate was the free pappadam, which are not home-made. The Bengali shrimp app is pretty good but the poori bread that comes with it is greasy. The Kerala crab had a nice sauce although completely bland (I ordered it because it was described as having chilies but there were none) and the crab was tasteless and largely absent. The vindaloo has whole tomato, which is just weird, and tastes too strongly of cinnamon with insufficient vinegar. I asked for it very spicy and it was sort of medium hot. The aloo gobi mattar has a non-descript sauce (again asked for spicy and it was very mild) and the veg was cooked to mush instead of a nice pan fry. Not a chili to be found. Garlic naan was good but they only give one piece. Finally they serve a lettuce salad on the side with a sort of vinaigrette that is totally non-Indian. It seems that Indian Spice is catering to American palates.
