Spice Indian Grill Orlando

The owner Suresh Subedi is so courteous and friendly along with all the staff . I have been going there for years. Whether I dine in or take out. I never had to wait. The food is excellent. I catered food from him for 50 people last December. The people at the wedding commended the food and the service. I highly recommend anyone to come and try their food and service. The prices are so reasonable.

I ordered chicken dum biryani on uber eats , they sent me biryani rice with 4 small chicken pieces on the rice and I didn’t see any dum biryani . Biryani rice seems like mix of basmati rice and regular white rice and btw the taste is not so great. I hope the restaurant will look into this 🙏

Great food! My family has been eating here for years, and it’s easily become one of our favorite places to eat. The dishes are always flavorful and fresh, with plenty of great meat and vegetarian options - the saag paneer is one of our favorites. Their naan is consistently fluffy and delicious as well. Portions are generous and reasonably priced compared to other Indian restaurants around here. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Happy we live nearby so we can order here often!

Spice Indian Grill Orlando impressed us over with its delicious Goat Curry, authentic Nepali Mo:Mo:, creamy Mutter Paneer, and soothing Rice Pudding. My daughter loved the French fries and Chicken Nuggets, which made it an easy, family‑friendly choice. It is a wonderful prime spot, especially for Knights, with palatable food, a common place for everyone.

We faced a last-minute hiccup with our catering for an event needing to serve 150 to 200 people. After calling several local establishments to place a catering order, Spice Indian Grill Orlando was able to meet our needs and exceed expectations. Less than an hour before the event started, the staff was courteous, kind, and dedicated to fulfilling our catering request. They even generously included some menu items free of charge. The food was excellent, accommodating dietary restrictions, and everyone enjoyed it, going back for seconds. -Sincerely, The Multicultural Student Center Agency @ UCF

I always take people who've never had Indian food here. It's a mild introduction to spices flavors and textures. They can taste everything in moderation first, decide what they like and then go for their seconds.....they appreciate it when they are non bombarded with decisions they do not even know how to make . So today was nice ..my friend had Indian for the first time and for example...when my husband ordered mango lassi. ....she said no ....then I told him to pour some of his in a separate glass for her to taste ......she was instantly in love and ordered one ....and told me......I would never have chosen this!....the prices are affordable and now she is willing to invite her family ! Success!

We ordered through DoorDash for the first time…got the Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma, and garlic naan. The food arrived hot and fresh but there where the “quality” stopped. The chicken in both dishes were dry. Both flavors were “meh” at best. The rice had absolutely no taste…it was like unwashed minute rice. The naan were soggy and was probably the best part of the meal. The meal left a “metallic” after taste. First and last time trying them.

The food tasted just like authentic Indian home cooking and honestly made me feel at home. Everything was flavorful and fresh. The service was also very good—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. A great place if you’re looking for real Indian food and a comfortable dining experience

3rd time here. Man. I'm gonna be spending a ton of my money here. Same wonderful earthy smell coming in. Kind staff. Player 2 and I brought our daughter here and she fell in love with the butter chicken. Chicken vindaloo medium spice level and butter chicken mild spice level tonight with garlic naan bread. Oh! Vegetable samosa for appetizer. Hot dang this is good. Ok Vindaloo is more tomato ish. Some lemon maybe? Vinegar? Definitely more spice. The butter chicken...bruh. Rich, earthy, curry flavor. Smooth. Damn it was good. Garlic naan is over the top. On their online menu I saw something called chile naan where the naan has spicy green chilies in it. It isn't on the regular menu so I asked about it and they have it. . Now I have an excuse to come back. So happy with this place man.

MT&Sunshine Go To Spice Indian Grill Moving to India was tough, To say good bye to Justin & Faith was rough. & the Thompson's hitting the trail, Stopped in to see Sunshine and MT

Absolutely enchanted by their food. The Spice Indian Grill is a restaurant across from the UCF campus on Alafaya. It has plenty of parking space as they are in a strip mall. Their service is always courteous and food comes to you very quickly, at the right temperature and heat (spice). We ordered garlic naan, my husband ordered Chili chicken and I ordered Bakhara- an overnight cooked lentil stew. Their ambiance is casual, they have two tv monitors where they play Indian soaps and on the other world landscape and great scenery clips. They serve alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Always a great place to dine in - booths and self standing chairs/tables. They have a great menu and offer an amazing buffet on the weekends.

Ok so let me start by saying I prefer North Indian cuisine and that my fav spot is hard to beat in SoCal. That said this spot is a strong 3, naan is a 4 and Pilaf Rice is a 2 and Tikka Masala chicken is a 3ish. The Tikka Masala curry is more tomatoe-y than what I'm used to. The service is a 5++! Fantastic people and so so nice! Food came super fast at 6pm on a Friday night. Parking is easy as it's in a plaza. Very close to UCF and a better food option in the area. I'd come back if in the area for sure.

On a Sunday night the restaurant was nearly empty so we enjoyed quick service. To start, we received a complimentary appetizer something like fried/toasted rice and spices (much like a light and crispy rice chip) served with 3 delicious sauces. We also ordered a meat appetizer with chicken cooked various ways and it was simply okay. It tasted good but wasn't something I'd order again. Onto the mains, I ordered chicken vindaloo and my bf got lamb korma. My sauce felt very rich with a good amount of spice, and it came with a decent amount of chicken. Only complaint is some bits of chicken breast were pretty dry-- either smaller cubes or chicken thighs instead would've been even more delicious. As for the lamb korma-- I found myself wishing I'd ordered that dish! It was so creamy and flavorful and wonderfully nutty because of the cashews. The tender lamb also didn't taste gamey to me at all which is why I usually don't order it. Also, rice is unlimited. Some places charge for extra sides! Overall I enjoyed the visit and would like to come back and try the buffet at some point.

Some of the best Indian you can find near UCF. the food is amazing quality and they actually cater the spice level to the customer. This makes this Indian restaurant approachable to newcomers but still great to people more okay with spice. It's also super fun and homely inside the restaurant. I highly recommend this place!

A solid buffet with all the standard offerings you'd expect. Their specialty, and the best thing at the buffet, is their chili chicken which is sort of a spicy version of Chinese orange chicken. Deep fried chicken with chili and green peppers and onions. Great with rice and naan. Everything else is standard buffet quality. We've never been for dinner. The dining room is mostly booths. Nothing fancy. And the service is attentive. Definitely worth many visits to sate your Indian cravings!

Food is good and the only indian food I have found in the county that warrants positive praise. Nice atmosphere. The menu has a bit of fusion between regions of Indian cuisine so a dish on the menu here may be different then you are used to having elsewhere but over all it is a welcome difference on the plates I have sampled

The only Indian restaurant on the east side of the city. Tabla? Have you seen how ridiculous their prices are? Ahmed? Have you tasted their food? In an area starving for culinary attention, Spice carries more than its weight. I might be a little biased because they take good care of my special requests and always make sure I'm happy. Favorites are Kadai anything, Saag anything and Salmon Tikka. Lamb is always cooked very tender, a rare find in my travels. What little tandoor I've had has been unremarkable because it's not my thing, and Malai Salmon packs a punch of salt. Madras is good, but I prefer Kadai when I want savory rather than tomato-dairy.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. Been here 3 times and I will keep coming back for more. their servings are generous for the price and the food comes out hot and fast. Love it!

We order from Spice Grill regularly. This last time, however, some of the food was inedible. The onion bhaji was burnt to a crisp; the samosas were soaked in oil; we received no rice for two of our orders. Lamb biryani was fine. Food used to be excellent but has steadily gone down hill. We won't be ordering from here again, unfortunately

Trekked all the way out to UCF to see my brother and I'm always surprised at how many new spots are popping up there now. But I didn't have time for naan of that drama, I needed Indian and I had a samosa good time... Ok I'll stop ;) First off, any place that serves fee papadum crackers when you sit.down deserves top marks. Then I got the samosa chat ($8), garlic naan ($4) and dum aloo ($14). Try Spice, it's nice ;)

First time eating here and I already know I will be back. We tried the vegetable samosas, lamb rogan, and lamb vindaloo. The food was delicious and very flavourful. Not sure if it's a family owned restaurant but the staff and the service made it seem like it was just that. Excellent! I'm happy to recommend this place and leave this review.

Excellent food and service! At $13.95 for a lunch buffet, it just can't be beat! The chicken Tikka masala was the bomb and all u can eat naan!

I've dined in a while back but ordered takeout most recently. This last order included my staple favorite vegetarian dish, Malai Kofta. I generally gauge how much I like an Indian place by this dish. Unfortunately it fell short for me as the sauce was very bland and the order only included 2 mushy veggie balls. I also order butter chicken and cheese naan thankfully because those were tasty at least. I can't say I'd go out of my way to eat there again.

This place is amazing. I had great time with my friends it made my vacation flavors was amazing. Ambience was great. Front staff was great and the owner was very nice and friendly( suresh Subedi ) will be definitely back whenever I am in Orlando!.

(7/1/2023) got a recommendation for Spice Indian Grill for subcontinent cuisine from a southeast Asian coworker. The food at this place appears to be primarily Pakistani in preparation. I haven't seen a buffet since the COVID years, it was a welcome surprise to see one here, and super reasonable at $14.00 per person AUCE. It's not a very large buffet, but there are plenty of very tasty dishes. I stuck to my faves, Yellow Dal Fry (buttery, savory), Mattar Paneer, Vegetable Biryani, Hakka Noodles (more heat than expected), Tandoori Chicken, Chilli Chicken (sweet, tender). Desserts were a thin kheer (rice not quite tender), Gulab Jamon scented with rose water, and a hot, watery, chai. Service appears to be very nice, introverted family members, maybe the kids of a mom and pop shop. Clientele mostly SE Asian, families, and older couples, a good sign for authenticity.

On occasion I order from this restaurant at work. The samosas and butter chicken have been consistently delicious. I haven't branched out because they are just so good! Meals have been delivered efficiently so cooking is fast as well.

Worst chicken tikka masala ever!!! I would hate to try anything else here if they can't get that right. I've had store bought frozen better than this. Like I know I have high standards for good tikka masala but I wouldn't even give this a zero I don't even give store bought a zero and this is worse.

Was very excited to stumble upon this place but alas it was awful. The lunch buffet was bland and diarrhea inducing for me and my wife. Staff was nice but boy are we sick a full 24 hours afterward. Avoid this place like the plague.

Visiting Orlando and was craving home food. We went for the lunch buffet hours on the weekend for 13.99 USD and it was amazing. The food fills you up and it tastes like something you would get back in the motherland. The workers are quick and polite and take your plate as you go to get more food. The vibes are casual, nothing fancy.

Went to the buffet, but every single item - palak paneer, chicken tikka masala, and another chicken dish lacked flavor unfortunately. The dal tadka was too salty and lacked the seasoning of tempered spices. Maybe I've been spoiled over the years with homemade Indian, but I've had some really good Indian in Orlando elsewhere.

Looking for a good Indian restaurant in East Orlando we found this one on Yelp. It's located in a strip mall. The interior has both booths and tables, and two tv screens that show Indian movies. The server who brought us water couldn't smile but our main server was kind and attentive. They were able to make a vegan dish by substituting the cream in the curry with coconut. The food came out nice and hot. The medium spicy wasn't very spicy so we asked for additional hot sauce. Food was enjoyable, good, not great. In my vegetable dish there were a few hard pieces and the pithy ends of the beans.

This place is AMAZING. I'm Indian and I totally approve :) I ordered the chicken tikka masala with medium spice and it wasn't overly spicy. It was perfect from the flavor, texture of the chicken, and portion size. My boyfriend ordered the tandoori platter with hot spice (I had to talk him down from extra hot cause Indians don't play with their spice) and he was glad I talked him down, lol. The platter came out sizzling and everything was absolutely perfect. I had to order the rasmalai cause that's one of my favorite Indian sweets and it was the best I've ever had. This is definitely the best local Indian food and I will definitely return.

I didn't go into the restaurant so I cannot speak on the service or interior. Ordered spice Indian grill through Uber eats. Food took awhile to arrive for a distance of 3 miles, but that is not the restaurants fault. The items were well packaged and sealed in great packaging. Very pleased. I ordered the garlic Naan, keema samosa, molai kofta, and tandoori chicken. Everything was very good. The tandoori chicken lacked flavor but was cooked well. My favorite was the keema samosa which was cooked to perfection. Loved the sauces and the great attention to detail. I imagine one might have a different experience in the restaurant. The molai kofta was flavorful and creamy with just the right amount of heat. Rice was cooked well. Overall very good food. Would order again just not the chicken.

Six of us ate there Friday night. Good food was five star. Service good. However my check for about $200.00 had a "service charge" of 18 % with request below for a tip. Neither server mentioned the service charge was already added. There was no info on menu they would add a service charge. If I hadn't read details on the check I would have added a 20% tip. No excuse for not telling me tip was already added. Now for the food. Vegetable and Keena samosas excellent. Great crust and filling. Chicken Tula made in the tandoori nest I ever had. Great spices and cooked to perfection. Other great dishes butter chicken, lamb korma, Saag Paneer, baghari Jinga, Aloo Gobi, all had great sauces and spices. Garlic Naan and Onion Kulcha perfectly done with crust perfect.

Everything here is great! The Gobi Manchurian Dry app is our fave dish here. It is a fried cauliflower in a yummy spicy sauce, so it's actually not dry, lol. We usually get take out, but ate in for the first time recently. The interior was very nice and the service was good. Best Indian food in the UCF area. Will be back.

Best Indian food in Orlando for sure! Never been disappointed ever. You can close your eyes point at the menu and it's fire.

Excellent food! Plenty of options! Buffet is awesome. Service is really good. Food tastes fresh. Will definitely be back!

It's been a while since I've dined here and with Tandoori now closed, this is now the closest Indian restaurant to me. Sadly, this visit was disappointing. It was already late (7:30ish) and only a few tables in the restaurant were occupied. After being seated, the waiter took about 15 minutes before he came to take the order. He tried the "what would you like to drink?" trick but I just started ordering. To paraphrase another Yelp! friend, please don't try and impress me with not writing anything down. Especially when making Vegan adjustments to the dishes. With different spice levels in different dishes, he totally was lost and he did get some items completely wrong. Get a pad and paper and write it down, dude! (I'll let you guess what happened). They do have vegan options, but nothing is marked so you do have to ask about every dish. Vegetarian options are easier to figure out on your own. The Gobi Manchurian was crispy and delicious, but at $10, it was a very small order. They Yellow Dal Fry (lentil) was totally bland and had no spice to it at all, even though I said medium (waiter told me I ordered it mild but I totally did not). The Saag Paneer was spicy when it should have been mild. A complete reversal of how the dishes were ordered. And I have no confidence that any vegan adjustments were made. For a restaurant with 3-4 tables, service was absolutely terrible. It took about 10 minutes for a water refill. He didn't stop back to ask how anything was. It took forever to check out. Just terrible service from time to order, messing up the order, and getting the heck out of there. Also, although I'm not offended, they may want to rethink what movies they are playing on the television sets. Someone else may not find it appropriate for all diners.

Recently had the most delicious food here and it was delivered by door dash. The lamb Rogan Josh, Samosas, lamb biriyani, and white rice were all cooked perfectly. I ordered them "hot" and they had a great medium heat.

I am by no means an expert on Indian cuisine. My 1st introduction was the Food Network. I have had the good pleasure of eating at a couple of Indian restaurants, the 1st was with a good Indian friend who walked me through some dishes, their flavors and spices. And I love it. This Dominican York, when craving comfort, aside for my usual, I crave chicken tikka masala, basmati rice, garlic nan & samosas. Yelp lead me to Spice Indian Grill, 17min from home. I did not call ahead because I wanted tp see the place before ordering. It is located inside a strip mall, anchored by Chop salad, 2 doors down from Sus Hi Eat Station. There is a sign outside indicating times for lunch & dinner buffet, not sure if it's operational, you know with covid and all. It is has a nicely sized place, hostess station to the right, cooking directly on front with a bar top. I ordered my afore mentioned faves, 22 min wait, tightly packaged food and I was on my way. Honestly while I was unpacking my food, my mouth watered. The aroma was that awesome. The mild chikken tikka masala is beautiful, the color, the flavor, creamy, delicious. The basmati was warm & fluffy. The vegetable samosa was the best I've ever had, huge, no skimping on the delicious filling, flavorful & sooo good. The garlic nan was the only thing that I have had better but only flavor wise, because it was big & fluffy, I just would have loved a more garlic flavor. Spice is a win in my book!

Hello humans- This time around, I ended up near Orlando, FL. After work, i went to visit a close friend who lives in orlando. Our plan was to go to Arcade Monsters (which was a pretty cool spot, look it up) but we decided to get dinner beforehand. Before I get to the food- the service was extremely slow here. There was only one other couple sitting down to eat, but for some reason, things were going very slow. I got one of the vegetarian dishes and it was OK. Nothing really special to it and it was supposed to come with a side of rice, but it never came. The flavor was mediocre. I also asked if they could substitute the potatoes for cauliflower, and he told me no because they are too busy. Maybe I was missing something, but there was literally just my friend and I, and then another couple sitting down. The naan bread was also just OK. I ordered the garlic naan and it barely had any garlic on it. My friend got the cheese naan and it only came with 3 pieces while mine came with 5. Not sure how that works. Anyway, I probably would not come back here. It was just convenient because it was close to Arcade Monsters.

Ordered takeout of their Saag Paneer, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan and Lachcha Paratha. The curries, both Saag Paneer and Butter Chicken, we're beyond impressive and some of the best I've had from an Indian Restaurant. Opted for "hot" on the spice levels of the curries and that hit the right spot with respect to the balance between spice and taste and enjoyability. The breads were as expected but I do believe they would've been better to be had at the restaurant in person. It's always a gamble ordering freshly prepared naan and paratha for takeout. The flavor was there but the freshness had depleted a bit by the time our food arrived home. So all benefit of the doubt given here. The food was great and would most definitely order from here again when we're craving Indian Curry next.

Service was great! They brought you water to your table and the food was amazing. Will definitely go back. I had the butter chicken and asked for no spice and it was perfect! I would come every day if I could. The rice was well cooked and the mango lassi is a definite must order! Delicious!

This is our go to Indian restaurant! Kind and attentive staff. Kitchen gets food out quick and everything is authentic. Ambiance is fun. Love the Bollywood shows playing all the time. Favorite of course is the butter chicken.

Very Delish. Butter chicken 10/10. Basmati rice 10/10. Garlic Naan 10/10. Samosas 10/10.

This is the best Indian food I've had regionally. We've eaten in Indian restaurants in Georgia, North Carolina and Florida. This place is leaps and bounds above everything else. In a nondescript strip mall about a mile from UCF, my husband and son tried it in a whim when the Filipino burger joint they planned on was closed. They literally went back the next day. And then the three of us went a few weeks later when we moved my son out of his dorm. Service is attentive if not very fast (they seem maybe a little short staffed like most other places). But the food, oh the food! Pappadums are served with a trio of sauces first. We order naan and three other dishes. All were amazing but the star of the show is the Dal Bukhara. It's black lentils in a creamy yet still spicy sauce. I've never had anything like it nor seen it on any other menus. We'll go back every time we are at UCF now.

It was flavorful. However, I would prefer for the chana masala sauce to be more thick vs. watery. Plus a better presentation of the restaurant. I would go back to taste other things.

We are Indian fanatics in our house, so I have no idea what kept us from this local Indian restaurant so long. We came here as a date night, but this is definitely more casual in terms of "date night" restaurants. They do have lovely dishware and (thank goodness) cloth napkins, though, so it's more upscale than some other restaurants in Oviedo. We started with the chef's special shrimp appetizer, which was tremendous. I had the chicken tikka masala, which can often be unremarkable if not made well, but this dish was booming with flavor. My partner had the chicken jalfrezi, which he liked, but semi-regretted ordering. He's the Indian snob in this relationship, so I suppose his verdict isn't surprising. We added garlic naan, chili pickle, and mango chutney to our meal. They were all lovely, although the naan was a little on the bland side, redeemed by the fact that it was clearly fresh baked. All in all we were pleased and definitely plan to return to try some of their other dishes and hopefully dessert!

When you walk into this place you are greeted with a smile. The aroma of spices is intoxicating! We ordered chicken pakora, chicken tikki Marsala, and buttered chicken. The entree's come with a side of rice. We also indulged a side of Garlic Naan. I haven't had Indian food this good in years! This place will now become my new go to when I'm craving Indian food.

Visited this restaurant the other night. We were warmly greeted and seated. Our drink order taken and delivered promptly. The Mango Lassi here is very tasty. For dinner we ordered vegetable samosa, chicken madras, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, with garlic naan bread. Everything was very tasty and well prepared. We were so full and the portions were so generous that we had some leftovers for lunch the next day. To be honest, I eat Indian food leftovers for breakfast sometimes.

Tonight we wanted to try our first Indian restaurant and since we were in the area, we discovered this restaurant on YELP. We have had a few Indian dishes before and enjoyed so tonight we ordered Lamb Kerman's Samosas - Indian spices, seasoned lamb, wrapped in a light pastry ($4.99), Paneer Makhani ($12.99)which is home made cheese cubes simmered in classic makhani sauce and we also ordered Chicken Korma ($13.99)which is chicken breast pieces cooked in a creamy cashew and almond sauce. Both of these are served with basmati rice on the side. The server asked if we liked spicy and we told her we preferred mild. The Samosas were very mild and we added a side sauce to ours. Oh my goodness, both of these main dishes were so very flavorful. The Makhani sauce had a nice sweetness that was very enjoyable. The Chicken Korma was also really tasty. We really enjoyed both fairly equally. For dessert we ordered Gulab Jamun ($3.99) which are soft fried milk dumplings in cardamom and rise water scented syrup. They reminded me of a soft fluffy donut holes in a delightful warm sauce. The restaurant is a good size with plenty of tables and booths. There are a couple of large televisions playing Indian movies and there is a nice calming Indian music playing. Since we are still in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, we don't dine out much at all but tonight we had the restaurant to ourselves. They offer carryout orders also. The total for two of us was $44.69 We will be returning to try more of this expansive menu. We are definitely fans and recommend this restaurant.

The food is so good i personally love their butter chicken it always comes out fresh, and their naan could be a little crispier but thats the little thing, ive always had it ordered to my house so i cant say anything about the service or place

I've never been in person, have only gotten take out but wow this is the best paneer tikka Masala I've ever had. The Gobi Manchurian is a must have and the naan is just *chefs kiss*.

Was craving for some Indian food, And it was really delicious I had the bhindi masala and Mirchi pakora which was really good, Thank you team keep up the good work.

This place opened up just a week back. The ambience is quite nice. They have a live kitchen. Which is something different for an Indian restaurant. We went to try their buffet today. I liked the buffet setup. The food was good too. I am a vegetarian...and the menu on the buffet was a standard menu. I thought they might have something different (being a new restaurant). There was the regular station for chutneys and chaat. The vegetarian menu had potato fritters, aalo mutter, Saag paneer, daal makhni & veg biryani. Dessert was gulab jamun. Out of everything the fritters, saag paneer & veg biryani was really good. The staff was good & courteous. Will stop by again to try their ala carte menu. Overall it's a decent place...with regular food. Don't go there expecting it to be something different or extra ordinary since it's new.

5 stars for walking in the door and the aroma makes me instantly want everything on the menu. 4 stars for portion size. The entrees did not have a lot of protein and more sauce and rice than anything. The flavors were very good and made me want to try many different things. However I almost always end up with my usual chicken/lamb vindaloo. I was surprised that I went medium as vindaloo is normally very spicy, I could have gone spicer. Maybe I'm getting to be Indian lol. The staff was friendly, not overly but friendly, the only issue I really had was that I asked for no cilantro on food and it had sprinkle on the vindaloo and also on the naan. I scraped it off but it was a bit annoying. All in all I will be back and would love to try their buffet and a lot of other menu items

The food is very good, but I ordered take out an hour in advance and once I got there I had to wait thirty minutes. And then they got my order wrong and it's also expensive lol. Yummy but can be annoying! Don't go on Friday nights or other busy times!
