Looking for a place for lunch and this popped up! Inside this brightly painted, ultra clean convenience store is a hidden gem of an Indian food haven. If you love Indian food you must try this homemade food. If you haven't tried Indian food, this would be the place to test the waters. The food is excellent. Prepared with care with quality ingredients. I tried the chicken samosa with a cilantro mint sauce: perfection! Crispy light crust chock full of chicken and some veggies to balance it out; so yummy I could've easily eaten 4. The butter chicken was outstanding. The chicken was tender and was perfect with the delectable sauce. This was excellent chicken; practically melted in your mouth tender over basmati rice. Great rice. The portion was enough for 2 but of course I kept it to myself. This eatery is not far so I will be returning for more delicious food. I highly recommend this place to you if you already love Indian food or want to experience it for the first time. The lady at the register was super friendly and will recommend items for you. The kitchen gets 100/100 for cleanliness so you cannot go wrong. Give this place a try and support local small businesses. And since it's also a convenience store you can pick up beverages or anything on your list at the same time!! Win-win!!! There is ample seating outside when it's not raining!! Will definitely enjoy that when the weather allows! read more

4 stars for their samosa and mint cilantro chutney!! Samosa are a lovely deep fried pastry filled with veggies, spiced potatoes, peas and LOVE! These are by far the most flavorful I've ever had. Unfortunately, Cold Springs Food Mart is located off a very winding road about 12 minutes from Placerville. Customer services isn't really existent which I can over look because its basically a convenience store that makes food. Mondays they don't serve food but have pre-made samosa's food sale. Prices are a little high for the amount of food. Thanks to my fellow yelper April F. read more

They are back on track. Everything is delicious and definitely some of the best most authentic Indian cuisine in the area read more

Wow, what a find. This might be the best Indian food I've ever had. The flavors were incredibly wonderful. The service is great. It's attached to a convenience market so one might just pass it by, but do yourself a favor and stop by! You will be delighted! read more

I didn't really want to leave a negative review because it seems that a lot of people love this place, and because there aren't many Indian food places out this way. I also appreciate that they're a small family business and I don't want to criticize hard working people. However we grabbed two dishes as a takeaway and both were difficult to eat. One was lacking in any flavor at all and the other was so intensely salty that it was inedible and we aren't picky eaters. It was like a mouthful of seawater. We ended up completely throwing one away and going hungry. Service was very friendly and premises seemed clean and inviting enough I'm assuming this was probably not their usual standard based on other reviews here, it was just our experience. read more

Woke up in the mood for some good Indian food. Problem was that we now live in a rural area and we haven't heard of any Indian restaurants in this region. So of course I searched for one on Yelp and I came across this place. It's a convenience store with a restaurant outdoor setting on the left. We were greeted by a friendly woman and said we could sit anywhere we liked. We used to live near Little India in Southern California, so we've had our fair share of authentic Indian cuisine. I have to say that I was impressed by their food! We ordered the butter chicken, chicken biryani and of course, garlic naan. The biryani was good but the butter chicken was so full of flavor. One word that best describes it would be "intense." It really satisfied my Indian food cravings. The garlic naan was fluffy and had a good amount of garlic, just the right amount. If you've never had Indian cuisine, I highly recommend you give it this place a try. Spice Kitchen is legit Indian food. read more

My daughter is home for a month and LOVES Indian food! Last night we went to the Spice Kitchen and it was awesome! Outdoor seating only, but we were fine with that. We were the only guests on the patio. It took a little time but was well worth the wait. We had garlic jalapeño Nan, butter chicken, and vegetable kofta. Everything was fresh and delicious! I've never really been an Indian food guy, but I will be back!!! read more

A Delightful Surprise- Nestled in the great of California Gold Country, this former convenience/video store is now the best Indian food I've had. We had the butter chicken, chicken biryani and garlic naan. The biryani is perfectly spicy and the butter chicken was rich and garlicky. Speaking of garlic, the naan bread was covered in it and it was just the right amount. I shocked to find quaint outdoor seating but we had our sights set on having a winery picnic. read more

Do not go here. Microwaved Indian food made by people who don't speak English. Ignore the low standards of the other reviewers. Support local business instead. read more

Amazing food at an unassuming location. Super friendly family run business, I try to get take out here at least once a month. The tikka masala, saag paneer, and samosas are all very good. Good food is hard to come by in this area, glad this place is a short drive away. read more

big fan of the indian food here. wish it was closer but its the closest to me and its very good.

Great food and friendly service. We found this place by accident and sure are happy we did! Wonderful Indian food at reasonable prices!!

This is an A and J review. A had garlic naan and eggplant curry which was fantastic and I finished it all. J had the butter chicken which was delicious. The portions were huge, service was on point and food was definitely on point. What a gem! Looking forward to going back again. read more

Exceptionally good Indian food! We have tried several dishes and they were all delicious. The naan is so good! Highly recommend. Located in a small market and we've only gotten food to go, so not sure about restaurant atmosphere. read more

This family owned business welcomes you right when you come in. They make excellent Indian food. Our favorite is the butter chicken. It's spicy and full of flavor. I add garlic naan also. read more

My husband and I went camping and of course we forgot a few things. We found Cold Springs and we're so pleased! The store is pretty big, well lit and has all the best items. Proper craft beer, good snacks, and little grocery section. We were welcomed in and found new goodies. read more

Great Indian Food!!! We are so lucky to have this in our area! I wish they could grow bigger and open up an actual restaurant!

Spice Kitchen - part of the Food Mart. Spice Kitchen was recommended to us, we finally made it there, and we're very glad we did. The Butter Chicken Curry and the Chicken Coconut Curry were both excellent. Paired with the included rice and an order of Garlic Naan we had a fantastic dinner. The service was both personable and efficient. We highly recommend Spice Kitchen at the Food Mart. read more

I can't remember the last time I had to write such a poor review for a restaurant, but unfortunately in this case, I feel it is necessary to alert the Yelp community because there are currently only four reviews - and how could they all be five stars??? When considering ordering the Indian food from this corner store, please remember that this is a *corner store* - it is not a restaurant. While this may be a fine place to grab items you forgot at the grocery store, it should be your last resort for takeout. Let's go item by item through the dishes that we ordered, as I can only attest to the dishes we have tried: The Chicken Tikka Masala ($15) : Normally our favorite Indian dish, but this evening it was our biggest disappointment. Let's be honest with the Yelpers reading this review - that neon red sauce in this Tikka Masala comes from a generous amount of food dye, not the heavy spices and tomato paste that should cause the orange-red color. In addition to the lack of flavor (probably missing ginger / tomato paste), our two orders of Tikka Masala were each about half the size of most Indian restaurants. I actually believe they may not have had enough left over and may have split one order to make enough for two! There may have been 4-5 very small pieces of chicken per order. A shame. The Saag Paneer ($12) : Now, this is where things got a bit scary. Something tasted off with this Saag Paneer. Not in the way that it was bland or doused with a commercial food dye - more in the way that it tasted rancid. After taking one uncomfortable bite of this I tried one more small bite to be sure, and I am legitimately worried that the spinach may have gone bad... Luckily we didn't eat very much of it. The Garlic Naan ($3) : The three dollars is for one small flat of naan bread that may have been previously frozen. Not our worst naan ever, but definitely can't be the best either. So there you have it - my unfortunately critical review. Unless this place has recently taken a turn for the worse, I cannot imagine anything keeping the "restaurant" side of their business open aside from the fact that they are the only option for Indian food for miles. My recommendation: learn to make your own Indian food. Cheers read more

My new favorite stop while visiting Coloma. Needed some eggs late at night and was ready to drive the long route to find a grocery. Passed by while they were closing and they were so very nice and let us get what we needed even after door was being locked up. Thank you! Super friendly and just what we needed. Will definitely return to try their food. Looks delicious! read more

Very nice family and all smiles when you walk in the front door. Food is excellent and homemade. The butter chicken will bring great joy in your life and will start to make choices in your household. read more

Excellent food and amazingly kind and courteous hosts. Have not eaten such a great malai kofta in a while. Malai Kofta and Garlic Naan are a must try!!! Thank you Komal and Raja! read more

I love Indian food and tried two of their "Spice Kitchen" offerings today for lunch. It was my first visit here but won't be the last. Their butter chicken was the BEST I have ever had (and I've tried many in California and in England). The flavors were just exquisite. The chicken had a subtle tandoori flavor, and the sauce was the smoothest and creamiest I have yet encountered. Not overly spicy but just enough. This place is a hidden gem and I can't wait to try more from their varied menu. The employees were very pleasant and the environment tidy and clean, too. read more

Love this place & so glad it's opened up under new management! It's got everything you would need in a local food mart - Fresh Coffee & donuts in the morning, as well as amazing Samosas...It's a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

So pleased to have an Indian spot nearby! A family run business with good food. I love the samosas covered in lentil curry.

Super friendly staff, convenient location, and amazing Indian cuisine homemade on the weekends!! Highly recommend!!!

Excellent food, great customer service, and family owned. What we needed around here! So happy to have quality Indian food in our area.

I don't think you could find a kinder family! The food is incredible. It's just a fantastic store filled with wonderful people. This is just what the community needs. read more

Stopped by to grab some beer and Indian food. The samosas was really delicious and they have them every day of the week. I also got the lamb, chickpeas, and spinach paneer. All of them were great but the spicy lamb was my favorite read more
