Had a wonderful dinner experience here. Our server was fantastic—polite, attentive and made sure we were well taken care of.
We friends ordered Palak Panner, Chicken Korma, Naan and Rice everything was excellent.
The drink was refreshing and well-balanced and the korma was rich, flavorful and perfectly prepared. Great service, delicious food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back with my gang! 🌟

2.Lamb korma
3.Mutton curry
4.Andhra chicken curry
5.Garlic naan
6.Butter naan
7.Tandoori roti**
I enjoy spicy food, so I went for the heat, though my colleagues weren’t as enthusiastic about it 😆. Next time, I’m definitely trying the biryani—highly recommended by a friend after our visit.

A perfect lunch spot on this chilly December day. The attention to design is impressive throughout the space. The assistance from the server was incredibly attentive and shared great recommendations 👌. Prices are a little on the higher side but the quality of the ingredients definitely shows. Happily recommended !!

We visited for my birthday celebration and had a wonderful time. The service was excellent — special thanks to their attentive staffs for making the experience so enjoyable. The lamb curry, which was delicious but extremely spicy — level 4 is seriously hot,so order with caution (totally my fault for requesting it!). My family also enjoyed - Naans, Biryani, Desserts and Curries.

One of my favorite Indian restaurants in Downtown area. The food is consistently excellent and always prepared perfectly with natural spices and well tasted. The staff are friendly and very helpful and it’s a spot I often recommend to friends and family. Don't miss it!!

Amazing food and great service. I ordered the chicken masala and palak chicken, which came with two flavorful chicken dishes, rice, four pieces of garlic naan and a cucumber–tomato salad. The only thing that would’ve made it perfect is adding some saag paneer—then it would basically be a mini buffet! 😂😂

We had a wonderful meal here! Something to remember for a long time. 😊😊🥳🥳💥
Everything was fresh, perfectly seasoned and incredibly delicious. We ordered the samosas, masala dosa, and chicken biryani — all bursting with flavor and prepared beautifully. We hoped to try the pani puri as well, but they were out this time. Something to look forward to on our next visit. Except that all was well set for us.

I’m honestly shocked at how Spice Venue handled this. I found a dead cockroach in my biryani—something that should NEVER happen in any restaurant. When I contacted them, they said they would give me compensation, but then completely ignored my messages afterward.
This is not just bad service, it’s dangerous. A restaurant serving contaminated food AND ignoring customers after admitting the mistake? That’s unacceptable. People deserve to know how careless they are.

The owner, manager and all other staffs were very casual and friendly with us. One thing to note is that the restaurant is beautifully decorated, which adds positive vibes while dining. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and the food itself was quite good with full of delicious touch by the Chef.

The chicken pulao was excellent—perfectly seasoned with all the spices balanced just right. The lamb biryani and tamarind chicken curry were also cooked to order and matched the requested spice level perfectly. In total, it was a great experience and definitely worth the price.
I’d also recommend the mango lassi—it was sweet, refreshing, and the perfect finish to the meal. Fully satisfied -

Spice Venue is an incredible spot for late-night South Asian food in Downtown! This time I tried their Lamb Karahi and it was outstanding—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked with tender meat and bold spices. The taste felt truly authentic, reminiscent of real street-style cooking from back home.
The restaurant has a warm, traditional and welcoming vibe, making it a great choice for both solo visits and group outings. Though the prices are little higher side but this place worth it. It was a joyful dinner - ☺️☺️☺️🔥🔥🔥⭐⭐
