“Wow, that is all I can say. I love Indian food.. or at least I thought what I had been eating was Indian food all these years. After eating here I’m not sure what I’ve been eating, because this place is on another level. I got the Spicy Curry Leaf Chicken and it took me to another plane of existence. The mixture of flavors, textures, spices - it was something you’d expect to pay $30-40 for at a fancy restaurant- not $15 at a food hall! Give them a chance next time you’re looking for a little spice in your life!”
“Opted for the Kashmiri Heat bowl. They didn't have meatballs ready at the time but gave me a little extra chicken. The bowl was delicious. I can't wait to come back. The only issue is I'm usually over here on the weekends when they're not open.”
“I ordered South spice bowl. It was very delicious! The chicken was a bit too spicy for me but overall flavor was fantastic. Highly recommended! 雞肉好辣但是好好吃！”
“Absolutely loved the food - perfect balance of flavor, freshness, and presentation. Every bite felt thoughtfully made and left a lasting impression. Thank you Ritesh, Tarika and team for your incredible service!”
“Incredible food! So flavorful and fresh. Highly recommend”
“Incredibly rich flavor in every bite. Cannot wait to return!”
“Very tasty meal. Large portion size for about $17.50 after tax. South Spice bowl was very spicy (in a good way)!”
“My favorite go to Indian restaurant Spicy keralan bowl is my favorite, but all items on menu are really good.”
“Really nice spot, fairly cheap for a big meal, my go to lunch now!”
“The portion and flavors are all very satisfying. Glad they are a closer walk to the office than before so we can enjoy more often!”
