While the food tastes good, their catering service should be better. I ordered 1/2 a tray of chicken biryani for pick up that had mostly rice with hardly any chicken pieces. This is after I specifically told them that the rice and chicken proportion needs to be better as they have done the same in the past as well. The vegetable biryani was to have extra paneer, but again there was hardly any paneer in the dish. Overall a very disappointing experience.

I just went to Spicelife and I’m really disappointed. With the current economic situation, it’s frustrating to see a bowl now priced at $15. The price has gone up, but the portion size hasn’t changed at all.

I used to come every 2–3 days, but now I’ll only come once a month, or whenever I feel like it. Eating out is becoming unaffordable. Unfortunately, this price increase also affects tipping… the extra cost now replaces the tip I used to give. I won’t tip anymore. This 15 dollars bowl will replace my tip.

I’ve continued to come to this place and only tried different types of Biriyani and in my opinion by far this shop serves The Best Biriyani. For years it has maintained the consistent taste and it’s absolutely amazing. I often recommend this place to anyone who asks or wants nice food.

Tried the bowl. Fairly limited
Options for $15 but the quality was top notch and the bowl were large. Wouldn’t says it’s like a Chipotle. Better off getting a platter for $2 more.

WHY DO YOU ACCEPT UBER OR DOORDASH ORDERS WHEN YOU MAKE DRIVERS JOB DIFFICULT FOR YOUR OWN GREED?
HIRE MORE COOKS IF ITS SO BUSY.
NO MANNERS BY CASHIER OR MANAGER DONT EVEN FEEL SORRY FOR WASTING OUR TIME AND MAKING US WAIT.
HIRE MORE STAFF OR DONT ACCEPT
BUT STOP MAKING DRIVERS JOB DIFFICULT. AND DELIVERY GUY MAKE MORE MONEY THEN RESTAURANT WORKERS TEACH THEM SOME MANNERS HW TO TREAT A DELIVERY DRIVER

I used to love to come here for the spicelife bowls but they Upcharges the bowls 50% more and the flavor now is so bland than it was before. Super bland. I miss how good the food was. They should have upcharged the bowls at least 20% for inflation which i could understand, but 50% upcharge and the food is no flavorful anymore….. wont be coming back anymore

Great spot for lunch. We got dosas and chole bhature and both were great. Biryani was also great. It may be a little spicy for some but i feel it is pretty good 👍

Spicelife Indian Fare is an awesome local lunch spot that’s quickly become a favorite. For just $10.95, you can build your own bowl in a Chipotle-style setup — and the best part is they’ll give you a scoop of everything if you want to try it all! The portions are generous, the flavors are rich and satisfying, and it’s an unbeatable value for the price. Definitely splurge a little for the garlic naan — it’s soft, buttery, and totally worth the extra couple of bucks. The vibe is casual with Indian music videos playing in the background, adding a fun touch without being over the top. Great food, great price, and great value overall!
