Spice Symphony is delicious!! The samosas to start with so fluffy and tasty. I then ordered the rajma, which is a North Indian specialty, and it was so flavorful!! Really nice dish with nice spice. I eat a lot of Indian food, with Chana masala being my favorite dish. It's my staple order to test out a restaurant. This dish stole the show in terms of veg entrees. This is probably one of the best Chana masala's I've had as it has the proper richness, spice, and a little sweetness to it. It's comparable to my favorite one back in San Francisco. My family also recommends the tandoori spicy chicken wings to start and the chicken tikka masala! The only shortcoming was the Kheer, which was a little watery and bland. But if you are going to order dessert, make sure to try the malai kulfi!!!I haven't tried the Chinese options, so I can't speak to them (although I would love to try them next time), but Spice Symphony serves solid Indian food!! Such flavorful, AUTHENTIC dishes, that are perfect for sharing. The service was super quick and attentive. This spot is really cozy and serves awesome lunch specials. I love how it's a balance of being a nice spot, without being crazy "trendy" compared to other Indian restaurants in NYC. It has quality food with great prices and portions. Overall, I had a great time and can't wait to return :)

Spice Symphony has been a fascinating enigma for me in my dozen plus years living in their delivery zone!Their food is really good! Very good! Exceptionally good! But I've never seen a restaurant undermine the high quality of its food with pedestrian and almost aggressively indifferent service the way Spice Symphony does. Whether you dine in or order from them. And I hope Spice Symphony takes this as constructive criticism.Your service and general attention to detail in delivery is atrociously and arrogantly bad compared to your delicious food.If your attitude to customer service weren't so stubbornly lazy and arrogant, you'd have a Michelin star or two by now.But even now, I have to call and beg to make sure you don't forget to include something in my order. I love your food and I hope you realize one day just how bad your service is.

Hit up Spice Symphony with wifey on 2/18/25 for lunch. We got there at around 1:15, so we didn't get a chance to do the AYCE, we didn't eat fast enough to catch the 2pm cut off, I was disappointed, because I'm fat. Started off with avocado chicken, it was extremely flavorful. They gave us some chutney to dip and it was slamming. Next up for me was the tellicherri pepper chicken. It was really tender and flavorful, came with a side of rice and beans, it was just so good. Really spicy, cleared me up on a freezing day. Wifey had the lamb which was bomb also, not the best cut of meat, but it was so tasty. This restaurant lived up to its name, it brought the heat. The decor was cool, a little old school white tablecloth vibe but not really upscale, a calm spot. Might be my new favorite indian spot, still on the hunt for others.

Been looking for a great everyday Indian place for over a year and this is the best so far. Got the chili fish app which was on point - flavorful and perfectly cooked. Chicken Tikka masala sauce was absolutely perfect. A little sweet, a lot spicy and exactly what I was hoping for. Unfortunately, the chicken itself was dry. Hakka noodles were good, not the best I've ever tasted and a little oily, but good enough that I would probably get again. Portion sizes were excellent.

It's been a few years, but they still got it.Just got the lunch special with Palak Paneer and a Coriander Soup. All were properly spiced, India style, too hot for most tourists. Reminded me big time of when I lived in South India. The Lunch Special comes with Rajma and Naan and Rice. Also a great not too sweet Kheer.

This place is a hidden gem! The lunch special is outrageous. I posted the menu to this review - there are so many options for everyone and it is so well priced! ALL YOU CAN EAT INDIAN FOOD for less than $20 in Manhattan?? I'm honestly shocked this isn't on every lunch deal website ever. Great laid back ambiance and very kind and attentive staff. Fast service. No complaints at all.

Having heard my co-workers rave about the Indo-chinese street food they had back in India, I became determined to try out this historical fusion cuisine that originated from centuries of cultural exchange. Thus, on Sunday noon, a friend and I both arrived at Spice Symphony. The establishment was half-full (perhaps from the rain), so we received seating immediately.My friend and I decided on the following to share (all from the Indian Chinese section of the menu).- Paneer Chili Dry | $10- Chicken Manchurian| $18- Chili Chicken | $18The first to arrive, the Paneer Chili Dry appetizer, consisted of, as the menu described, "strips of cottage cheese tossed with spicy chili, onion, green pepper, and soy". This tasted quite similar to spicy stir-fried tofu, which is in hindsight unsurprising. The onion's aromatic flavors seemed much more pronounced than in Chinese stir-fry. The spiciness seemed relatively subdued, but that did not detract.Both entree items arrived about 15 minutes after the appetizer. The Chili Chicken, accompanied with "green peppers, vidalia onions, soy, and fiery red chillies", had a similar flavor profile as the Paneer Chili Dry, with 2 notable exceptions. One is the chicken (duh), which tasted tender and juicy. The second is the decent amount of heat the chilies possessed, which would require a decent heat tolerance (for the average American).The second entree, the Chicken Manchurian, arrived in a "spicy tangy onion and soy based sauce". The menu description belied additional nuance in the sauce, notably tamarind. This made for a dish that looked ostensibly like soy sauce braised chicken, a ubiquitous dish in China. This one, however, had a much brighter set of flavors, especially with the extra-aromatic onions. If I had to choose between the soy sauce braising and pan sauce I grew up with and this, the Chicken Manchurian wins by a long shot.Overall, I enjoyed the opportunity to try a relatively unknown cuisine (at least in the states). The blend of familiar flavors, reimagined, managed to meld well and live up to the title of fusion cuisine, something that modern fusion cuisine struggles to accomplish.

Tasty, affordable, quality Indian food. Also has a twist with their Indian Chinese menu, super cool and underrated! They take your favorites from your local Chinese takeout and turn it up a notch with some spice! It's all in the name. This place is kid friendly, family friendly, date night ready and also the kind of place you go to impress some co-workers. The vibe inside reminds me of traditional NYC fine dining from back in the day. The staff are all dressed in black, working together seamlessly. The lights are low and the tables are actually big enough to have room and not bump your neighbors! And then- the food! Full of flavor, large menu with traditional Indian items and some new like the chicken lollipops. Great for your first time having Indian or if you make it at home, there's something for everyone (vegan and vegetarians of course too).

This is a well priced, unassuming Indian restaurant with largely anything you could want on the menu. Definitely recommend the Hakka noodles.
