I've been coming here for lunch every Saturday, and it's become one of the highlights of my week. The food is absolutely amazing, especially the jerk chicken, which is hands-down my favorite. It's packed with flavor and always cooked perfectly. On top of the great food, the people here are genuinely kind and welcoming. They make every visit feel personal and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Spice Restaurant is a five-star triumph of Indian cuisine that turns every visit into a celebration. The moment you step inside, the air hums with cardamom, cumin, and sizzling garlic, while sleek wooden tables and soft amber lighting create an inviting warmth. We kicked off with the Samosa Chaat, a masterpiece of crisp pastry shards draped in cool yogurt, tart tamarind, and a crunch of sev that exploded with flavor in every bite. The Butter Chicken arrived in a glossy, brick-red sauce so silky it coated the spoon, paired with chicken so tender it fell apart at the touch of a fork. Our server, Priya, guided us flawlessly--suggesting the perfect spice level and steering us toward the Garlic Naan that emerged blistering hot, butter-glossed, and impossible to resist. Even the Mango Lassi Martini was a revelation: creamy, tropical, and dangerously smooth.
The magic continued with the Lamb Rogan Josh, a slow-cooked symphony of cloves, cinnamon, and chili that built gentle heat without ever overpowering the lamb's deep, savory richness. Vegetarians at our table swooned over the Paneer Tikka Masala, where charred paneer cubes luxuriated in a tomato-cream gravy brightened with fresh cilantro. Every dish arrived piping hot, beautifully plated, and portioned for sharing--though we guarded our plates fiercely. Spice doesn't just serve food; it delivers joy on a plate, with service that's attentive yet unobtrusive and flavors that linger long after the bill. This is destination dining at its finest--bold, authentic, and utterly unforgettable. Five stars, booked solid in my calendar.
