Spicelife Indian Fare

They use a lot of MSG in their food preparation - and I called to verify that the following day after ordering takeout the prior evening. Although the food was good I ended up incredibly tired, nauseous, and with a headache about two hours afterwards from the effects of large amounts of MSG flavoring. I think if your food is good, with quality ingredients, then MSG should not need to be added. They should also list on their menus and website that they use MSG additive because not everyone tolerates it well.

Came back and once again, it never disappoints! Every time we eat here, we just can't get over how delicious every bite of every dish is. Today, we had the Malabari with shrimp, chicken 65, tandoori chicken & garlic naan. Everything was amazing. Perfect amount of spice & flavor in every dish. We love the ambiance and the workers. It's never too full of customers where you don't have a place to sit or sit too close to customers and the workers are always friendly and helpful. We love this place so much!

It's time for an updated review. I was here with a group of ladies. This was the first time visiting this restaurant for all of them. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their experience here. Everyone opted for entrees appetizers instead of bowls. You ordered at the register and they will bring the food out to you. Service was great.Dosa was definitely a hit with everyone. It was huge! Salmon Tikka appetizer was well prepared. Alu Gobi- yum! Mutter paneer, tikka masala, tandoori chicken- you can't go wrong with any of these choices.

The service is honestly not great. The times we've been they've either been rushing us or taking forever with our bread order while our bowls get cold. BUT I will say the food tastes great and the prices are reasonable.

The build your own bowl option at Spicelife is the deal of the century! I visited Spicelife on my lunch break and could not believe how much was packed in my bowl for just under $12!Spicelife has a large indoor seating area and a menu with entrees. You can also choose to build your own bowl only when you order in person. They have plenty of vegan options such as Chana masala, pakora, cucumber salad, and sauces. I cannot believe how many items I got to add to my bowl at such a low price! The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about vegan food. I sadly cannot eat the naan as it is buttered and they double checked all the sauces so I knew which ones were dairy free. I will definitely be back to Spicelife to rebuild this bowl for lunch. I also recommend this business for a group lunch because their dining area was empty and should be filled up with food this good!

Have always been a fan of this place and its $11 make-your-own bowl. This time, not only did I get a bowl, but also Chicken Tikka Masala and Baingan Bharta (eggplant). I love the bowl because you can mix in different flavors and toppings to create a different texture than just sauce over rice. The veggie toppings and the pakora gives it a nice fresh crunch. The two other entrees were both good and flavorful and came with a quart of fluffy basmati. Sometimes I wish the eggplant was chopped up and not pureed to give it a different texture; but its great, nonetheless. The 'spicy' heat level wasn't hot enough, so will try extra spicy next time. Butter naan was also very good when fresh and warm, but tough to reheat to the same fluffiness. I love that we have good Indian food in our neighborhood and one day will venture back to try other menu items.

This has got to be my go to restaurant for when I want Indian food to go! I love that they have the "build your own bowl" option so that I can choose multiple options. The portion sizes are so worth the money you pay for. Staff are super friendly, and their food is so tasty!

I've never had Indian curry buffet style before! I really liked that I could get all of the curries and toppings on my bowl with a side of naan! You can choose 2 sauces as well. I liked the different varieties of curries, but I don't know if I have a favorite yet because I found them all delicious. Also, I got the garlic naan and I loved it, I most definitely can eat the garlic naan by itself. I'll definitely come back! The pictures I took don't do the food justice and I should have took a better picture to highlight the curries. I'll do a better post/edit when I'm back in the area. Friendly staff and good restaurant to eat inside or to-go.

Came for a casual Friday night dinner after an evening of trick or treating in the Crown neighborhood. The pakoras and samosas were good so was the Goat curry. We also tried the ground lamb kabob which we did not like because the kebobs did not taste like meat. All dishes have generous portions. I have not tried their bowls but saw others ordering them so I do believe those are good and inexpensive options. It's a fast casual restaurant and there weee a lot of Indian patrons which always is a good sign.

Great place! Their samosa chat is bomb!I usually like their food. I took off 1 star because of the chicken biryani I got this time. Bland taste Well, Biryani I got was more like tomato flavored pulao. Rest of the dishes are good !
