Minimal read - Opened since 2019, City Of Spice is literally the best Indian Food restaurant I have been in since living in the US since 99. Don't take my word for it, see how many other outstanding reviews COS has and visit. This is exactly what we did. The menu is extensively simple, there are so many traditional Indian dishes and many more tasty fragrant fusions which the owner excels at creating.
Upon being seated we were given bottled water, no charge.... I've not seen another restaurant have this service, usually it's tap water, this is a great welcome.
Come be treated as family by the staff and owners and enjoy the wonderful food.
Extensive review.
This has quickly become my new favorite, the owner Mr Azhar really made us feel part of the family on our first visit, making sure we knew exactly what we were ordering with their descriptive visual menu (ask for it). He and his son are working on tablet iPad menus this year so you can visually see and read up on his amazing food.
Also very important to the owner is preference and allergies, Mr Azhar mentioned that he feels as a customer, you should have a choice that suits your experience and taste. If there's something that you cannot eat or do not like, they can customize your food experience. Ask about allergies is clearly mentioned on the menus. City of Spice takes passion in delivering a wonderful personalized eating experience.
City Of Spice combines the Northern & Southern fragrant traditional foods and aims to bring some general favorite Indian food dishes you can find anywhere, but also has a passion to bring great unusual dishes to life.
I consider myself an Indian Food pro, India food was a staple food option for me in London when growing up. City of Spice was able to customize an off menu dish for me and also surprise me with some wonderful new fragrant dishes.
What was remarkable was that (if you see my photos) I ordered 4 different vegetable dishes and 2 Lamb entrees. Each dish was totally unique with flavors and ingredients. That was very impressive, most places the food tastes good, but the dishes meld into tasting roughly the same. Not here.
While we were eating, another family had this huge pancake type dish delivered, it was like nothing I have seen before. We had to try it, Dosa, it's like a 2ft Indian crepe made of black bean and rice flour filled with a flavorful tomato based Spice and served with some relishes.
City of Spice is located next to the bowling alley on E Bell Rd, plenty of parking,
