I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience here was disappointing from start to finish. The service was incredibly slow — it took over 20 minutes just to get water, When the food finally arrived, it was clearly not fresh. My starter was overcooked and drowning in sauce, and my friend’s chicken was dry and bland.
To make things worse, the restaurant didn’t seem cleanliness on the table.The floors were sticky, the bathroom was a mess, and we saw staff handling food without hair dressing. For the price we paid, I expected much better. I won’t be coming back, and I can’t recommend this place to anyone.

This place is amazing. I love indian food im always trying new places. I ordered the Gobi Monchurian and the lamb korma they were both delicious but the Gobi monchariun may be the best I've ever had. Check this place out the staff is very nice as well.

I had a very disappointing experience with the reception, particularly with Vigneswari, whose attitude was unprofessional and careless. I even have video proof of the incident. The management did not handle the matter well, which made the overall experience even worse. I would not recommend this place based on my visit.

I could eat here every week and will never get bored. The Malai Kofta paired with garlic naan feels like a taste of heaven on earth. The mushrooms are absolute perfection. The service is consistently top-notch—whether you're dining in, grabbing takeout or enjoying the time here. I truly can’t say enough great things about this place.

Every time when I’m here, zero customer service and worst experience every single time. They won’t concentrate on what customer is asking for !!!

Disappointing Experience Not Returning Again
I visited this restaurant at 9:40 PM, and shockingly, our food wasn’t served until 11:40 PM. You might assume we ordered something elaborate, but we only got basic items: Chicken Fried Rice, Veg Hakka Noodles, and Chicken Lollipops all relatively quick dishes. Not once were we informed about any delay while placing the order.
To make things worse, the environment was just as frustrating. There was a dustbin left right beside our table, which stayed there for over 40 minutes until a waitress finally noticed and removed it only after we pointed it out.
Now, coming to the food:
• The Chicken Lollipops were tough, rubbery, and completely inedible. We brought this to the cashier’s attention, but all we got was a dismissive “okay” and no follow-up or sorry. We even insisted to check the food herself.
• The Mild Veg Hakka Noodles were bland and lacked even basic seasoning like salt. When we requested a reheat with a little salt, they returned it completely burnt and overloaded with chili powder. It was worse than before.
• The Chicken Fried Rice was just about passable, but the chicken pieces were dry and incredibly chewy.
This place used to be my regular lunch spot, but after last night’s experience, I won’t be coming back. The quality has dropped significantly, and the service was nowhere near acceptable.
I wouldn’t recommend this place.
The butter chicken, garlic naan, and egg fried rice were easily some of the best dishes for today. The service was exceptional—everyone was friendly, attentive and quick to assist. The prices are very reasonable, making it an incredibly affordable spot. If you’re craving quality Indian food, this place is a must-try. I will plan my next visit soon...

I was genuinely impressed—not just by the exceptional service, but by the food that truly puts themselves on the culinary map.
The owner/manager (Don't know exactly) was incredibly warm, the staff exemplifies top-tier customer service and the dishes are an unforgettable burst of flavor. Don't miss their authentic Indian dishes. ✨✨✨✨✨

I've been dining here a couple of times a month for over 6 months, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and quickly prepared. It's always well-seasoned, and they frequently offer great lunch specials. Currently, my favourite spot....

I ordered lunch for my office people and everyone liked. The food was exceptional and everyone enjoyed it. Everything including the spice level as well as the packaging was perfect. You guys are the best in town. Please maintain the quality as you have always been. Good luck!
The food here is exceptionally rich and full of flavor, complemented by delicious desserts and very reasonable prices. Whether you’re in the mood for something spicy or savory, there’s something for everyone.
I highly recommend the curry chicken and garlic naan. The staff is warm and welcoming and I genuinely wish them continued success. The flavors are truly authentic. My full recommendation. ✌️✌️✌️

Mashroom biryani was so good
⭐ 1/5 - Very Disappointing Experience
I ordered a chicken dum biryani from Spice Venue Restaurant, and it was honestly one of the worst I’ve had in a long time. The rice was dry, the chicken pieces were barely cooked through, and the flavors were completely off – it tasted more like plain rice with some random spices thrown in. There was no aroma or richness you'd expect from a proper dum biryani. Even the raita they sent with it tasted stale. For the price I paid, I expected much better quality. Definitely not ordering from here again.
