The food was delicious! Everything my family and I tried was a 10/10. The manager, Nisar, was super hospitable and welcoming. He made sure we were taken care of, and we were satisfied with the food. Nisar also gave us a few things on the house that were much appreciated! We will definitely be back soon :)

I was pleasantly surprised by Spice Symphony. We went on a Saturday night, and even though it was busy, it didn't feel chaotic . The simple, clean decor gives the restaurant a really nice vibe.<br><br>For starters, we ordered Papadum and the Spinach Chaat. I was impressed by both. The Spinach Chaat had a perfect crisp and packed a unique and delicious flavor. I highly recommend it.<br><br>For my entree, I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan. Loved the chicken - it went so well with the naan.<br><br>For dessert, we shared the Rose Kulfi which was really good.<br><br>The service here was outstanding. The manager kept checking in to make sure we were happy. Would totally return!
Absolutely amazing experience at Spice Restaurant! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐<br><br>The service was truly top-notch — everything was perfectly managed from start to finish. A special thanks to Manager Nisar and server Akriti for their outstanding hospitality. They made us feel so welcomed and taken care of throughout our visit.<br><br>To top it all off, they surprised us with a delicious dessert, which made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the exceptional service!<br><br>Will definitely be coming back again!
I had the thali at this restaurant and really enjoyed it. It came with chicken tikka masala, naan, three vegetarian curries, and dessert. The food was flavorful and well-balanced, and the portion was satisfying. Mr. Nisar was very friendly and provided great service, which made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this place.
Stopped by for lunch and had a fantastic experience! The food was delicious, especially the Chicken lollipops and Triple Szechwan, which were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection.<br><br>The service was top notch—a huge shoutout to Nisar, the restaurant manager, who was brilliant at checking in and making sure we were well looked after.<br><br>Overall, great atmosphere and even better hospitality, highly recommended!
I had an amazing time here at spice symphony! The food was amazing and the hosts were very nice. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Amit and he led me and my wife to our seats. We had the lamb biryani and chicken lollipops and both dishes were amazing! The lamb biryani was delicious and spicy and the chicken lollipops were a delicious combo between Indian and Chinese food.
Came here with a work mate for lunch.<br>They have an pre-fixed AYCE lunch, photo attached.<br><br>Indian Lunch Box: These pre-fixed sets typically include a choice of a main curry (such as Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Rogan Josh, or Palak Paneer), served with a vegetable of the day, dal, basmati rice, and freshly baked naan.<br><br>Indo-Chinese Lunch Box: A popular fusion option featuring dishes like Chili Chicken, Veg Manchurian, or Paneer Szechwan, accompanied by vegetable fried rice or noodles.<br><br>Vegetarian & Vegan Variety: The lunch menu is highly inclusive, with dedicated pre-fixed boxes for vegetarian and plant-based diners, featuring items like Chana Masala and Aloo Gobi.<br><br>Convenience: The lunch boxes are specifically structured for the Midtown crowd, offering a balanced meal that is both efficient for a work break and substantial in portion.
Nisar, the manager, is truly the sweetest! He always greets us with a big smile and even offers complimentary desserts, which makes the experience feel extra special. The food is amazing every single time definitely a 10/10 for the butter chicken and the chicken tikka masala. This is my third time coming, and the customer service just keeps getting better. The staff is attentive, friendly, and really makes you feel welcomed. Honestly, one of the best dining experiences I’ve had!
Roland was my server and had the most amazing experience - fourth time here and will be back many times again, never disappoints. The most amazing customer service and the most incredible food. Great vegetarian options. Staff are so kind.<br><br>Reminded me of my home cooked meals from back home. Highly recommend the American Vegetarian Chopseoy.
My dad and I had such a great dinner here together. I see him only a few times a year and I was so glad he picked Spice Symphony for our night together. I was warmly greeted by the manager, Nisar, who was funny, generous and caring. He made our night! The food and drinks were delicious, complex and authentic. I truly recommend this restaurant and location and will be back soon. Thank you!
Underwhelming Indian food. We just ordered starters and left as it was too chewy and the Vada they gave was stale<br>The chicken 🍗 lollipop were okay and Manchurian was not tasty at all
Nisar the manager is so kind! He always greets us with a big smile and offers complimentary desserts. The food is amazing, 10/10 for the chicken lollipops. This is the best of the 3 locations by far, we always come back to this one!
The food , drinks and the service is amazing Nisar and the rest of the staff are great very welcoming I'll definitely be back. We also had the Lam, ginger chicken and broccoli, the garlic naan, steam basmati rice and of course the drinks.
My roommate and I went here for dinner after a long week and it was the perfect place to end our Friday night with. The food was amazing, the service was even better. The owner made sure to talk to us on our way out and all the staff was excellent. Nisar specifically made sure that our entire time was well spent, he recommended dishes to us and it did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this place. It almost felt like we were in India and experiencing their hospitality forgot this is nyc for a second.
Such great food, friendly staff. All the dishes were tasty. And Nasir the manager was so attentive and recommended various dishes for us to try. Definitely give them a try.
