Spice Bazaar - Modern Indian Dining

The restaurant accommodated my request to delay our reservation by 30 minutes as one of the guests was running late. The place was full when we arrived but the food arrived in a timely manner and was delicious. The waiter was attentive and overall it was a great experience. The restaurant is BYOB.

The food is the star of the show. For an appetizer, we got kale chaat. It was surprisingly amazing. A unique way to use Kale. The Tikka entrees were on point as well. Overall the food was fantastic. The restaurant is lit on the darker side, but not too dark. Noise level was appropriate to be able to hear anyone at your table.

Went here on a Friday around 1:30p and we
were the only ones dining (there were not even any pickups during the entire time we ate). Started off with a flat soda, but luckily they had some indian sodas in bottles to replace with.

The two of us decided to share two apps, and one entree, beginning with the Lasooni Gobi. The description said crispy but this was absolutely not the case. Flavor was good and presentation was amazing with julienned peppers on top.

Pulled mushroom kebab was next and while the concept was unique, the execution was lacking. This needed some chutneys desperately.

Paneer Tikka Masala on deck next- and when I asked the kind waiter if the paneer was really chargrilled like the description- he said it was in fact not. Okay, odd but thanks for the honesty. This dish has potential and was okay but never would be worth $28 esp with the appetizer serving size.

We asked if the place was usually this empty and were told yes for lunches. We also learned the place was under new management. The ambience was nice, staff kind, food okay but the prices about 2x what they should be for the quality of food, serving sizes and location (come on this is the burbs not the city!)

Our bill was $100 for a lassi, soda, 9 pieces of cauliflower, 3 silver dollar kebabs and 8 smaller-sized paneer. Nope.

Advice: Offer much more reasonably prices lunch specials. More generous serving sizes and continue to improve food quality (there is potential).

Horrible Food Experience!! Ordered take out for Lucknow Chicken Biryani and Butter Chicken explicitly mentioning to keep it Mild and it was just the opposite and the biryani was full of masala and nothing close to Lucknow biryani. Even the butter chicken was made so spicy which shouldn't be spicy at all.Not eating here again.

Came here for 4:30 reservation on a Friday, it’s under new management and the food quality isn’t like before. I miss the bao buns and fusion food from before. On top of that, we were rushed out of the restaurant…

We ordered 4 items and requested that all of them be gluten free. The restaurant called and said that one of the items that were clearly marked gluten free was not. We cancelled that item.I went to pick up the order and the restaurant informed me that another one of the items we ordered was not gluten free. I canceled that item. The cost of the canceled both items was refunded was refunded in cash. We also received a text message that the order was ready for pickup. I got to the restaurant and waited 20 minutes.for the order to be complete. They blamed a new computer program for the problems. The quality of the food was average and the portions were small

It's all around great!! Food is absolutely delicious and the service is great. Staff is really helpful to select dishes for you if you're not too familiar with Indian food. Will definitely be back!!

This was different cuisine for us and so we were really excited to try it and it did not disappoint! We very much enjoyed the food, the ambiance and the service!

Food tastes good but is a bit on the pricier side. The meen pollichathu is a must try - it tasted very authentic. Lucknawi biryani was ok as well. The service was great and the place has a pretty upscale vibe.

Taste good as other Indian restaurants. Nothing special. Kale chat tastes good. Too expensive for the quantity.
