We had an absolutely terrible experience at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the host was unwelcoming and condescending, which set a bad tone for the entire meal. Unfortunately, the food was even worse. We ordered the veg platter, and it arrived with undercooked fritters and smelly, spoiled samosas. The dal makhani tasted like it came straight out of a frozen packet, completely lacking in freshness or flavor.
The veg biryani was an odd mix of frozen vegetables, including snap peas and zucchini—ingredients that felt out of place and tasted even worse. As if that wasn’t disappointing enough, the masala chai was a joke—it was nothing more than hot water with a cheap chai mix stirred in. Overall, we regret ever stepping foot in this place. We have no idea how it has such high ratings on Google. Save your time and money, and avoid this restaurant at all costs.

We sat on pillows in a window seat. The ginger lemonade was delicious. Samosa are some of the best I’ve had. The bhindi aloo and the chicken Malai had so much flavor. Mint chutney was sour and tasty.

Spice Root is a wonderful restaurant, that we enjoyed very much. The food is true and authentic, with each curry being prepared in accordance to what the dish requires - no generic base sauce here. The naans were sublime, fluffy, light and flavorful, a worthy complement to perfect chicken tikka masala and lamb korma and Highly recommended!

Holy moly this place is amazing. It’s hard to find a really special Indian restaurant amid all the generic ones in MA but they nailed it.
As for dishes, naan and some curry sauces are great, basmati is decent, but they also have some terrible curry sauces. Among what I ate, vindaloo was exceptional, chana masala, aloo baingan, and home spice curry were also good, chicken dopiaza is ok, but sag paneer was just tasteless and chicken tikka masala was strangely sweet.Service is usually nice and friendly, but the last time, I ordered lunch thali for takeout but did not receive chana masala nor salad. Checking the receipt, I found that my order was changed to lunch box without notice. It was insincere.
