This place is absolutely amazing. The most amazing butter chicken I've ever had in my life. Great service and great atmosphere. Will be back!!!

I would give this place zero star if I could… The food was absolutely BLAND. No salt in anything, the daal makhani was sweet, the biryani had no flavor. Absolutely disgusting. Will not be visiting again and would not recommend this place to anyone.

Nomadic Flavors
I’ve been a regular at Spice Social in downtown Fullerton for a while now, and it’s become my go-to for flavorful Indian cuisine. Located at 138 W Commonwealth Ave, the vibe is lively with a modern interior, a bar area, and space for groups—it’s great for social gatherings, whether it’s a casual meetup or a small party. The outdoor patio adds to the options, though it can get noisy inside during peak times. The staff is friendly and attentive; they always remember my order, which makes the experience feel personal. I always get the Ludhiyana Da Special Chicken (a creamy chicken korma with herb sauce)—it’s rich, comforting, and perfectly spiced without being overwhelming. Because this food item isn’t on any other Indian restaurants’ menus, I give this place 5 stars. Portions are generous, and it pairs great with garlic naan or basmati rice. Other favorites include the lamb biryani, paneer tikka masala, and innovative items like butter chicken poutine. They’ve got solid vegetarian options too, like saag paneer, and drinks such as mango lassis or spicy cocktails to round it out. Entrees run around $18-20, with extras adding up, but it’s worth it for the quality.

This place used to be great with really friendly staff. Sadly, while the food is still good, the service isn’t. If you’re not Indian it feels like you’re not really welcome.

The food was ok, they had new some recipes. But, the restroom was disgustingly bad. The staunch smell made me almost throw up. Too bad that, I placed my order before using the restroom.
Service with an attitude and childlike portions. Spent $65 on dinner for two and we both left hungry. GOAT curry was mostly bones- felt like I got charged $21 for bones n sauce. Description said bone in meat but they seemed to have forgotten the meat.

I really enjoyed my lunch here. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was fantastic. Since I’m not used to Indian spice levels, their ‘medium’ was a bit hotter than what I usually consider medium. But they were kind enough to bring me some yogurt to help balance the heat, which I really appreciated. I also want to mention that one of the servers was especially friendly — his name is Sumit. I truly wish the best for everyone who works here.

We’re visiting on vacation and haven’t had Indian food in quite some time. I’m so glad we ordered from here! The Samosas were so delish with a surprise kick! Not too spicy though. We also got the chicken tikka masala that and the garlic naan were perfect! Such a tasty treat!
Worth the money. Food really great.
