Worst service , on Monday evening with few customers, servers were running like headless chickens , don't know what to do ..had to call them multiple times to get spoons, water, plate ...I requested a side of salad which I never received but they forcefully charged an 18% tip by default... Dal makhani seems like cooked by college student ( undercooked) ... Spoiled our event ..not coming back and not recommend for others ..stay away read more

horrible business! we had LUNCH reservations for a Sunday in the summer - aka NOT BUSY - and one of our guests had to go to the hospital so we could not cancel, well guess what that doesnt matter! they still charged us 240.00 for not showing up, despite the personal issues and it probably being DEAD inside. horrible ethics and values. read more

Stopped by on the eve of Father's Day, fantastic ambiance, myself and my wife sat at the bar, bartender Jayme(aaime) was wonderful, he quickly picked on we were from out of out of town and friendly banter made our visit memorable. In fact it got so late we decided to stay in Jersey. Please try the tawa fish it was awesome. I did see that folks posted about prices and service. We spend more in restaurants, when it comes to Indian food. Service needs to be exemplary and authentic taste but priced as low as street food. I think it is an unreasonable ask. The owner stopped by and checked on us as well. Overall it was a fantastic experience and worth every penny. Btw this a bar and lounge and not a restaurant, we should rate it as such. read more

With a lot of hesitation I decided to go to a restaurant with my family. It was the best decision. Check-in process was smooth they checked our temperatures and then led us to a comfortable seating location. The restaurant has an amazing ambience and a great service. It was my wife's birthday and they made our day. Food was simply awesome, presented with a lot of style and a timely manner. I was impressed by the quality and quantity for every item. This is amazing place to experience fine dining in Edison where we have a lot of restaurants but only a few offer high quality food and high quality dining experience at the same time. Certainly a place to visit, if you have not done so. read more

Nice ambience and good food presentation. That's it! For the rest, there is not much to like about. The service is too slow and inaccurate. It took them 20 minutes to pour a drink from the bottle into a glass and over 30-45 minutes to get the food (taste and quality of which was average at best). The order processing had some inaccuracies, which can be understood given the management must be getting their feet wet yet (its a New Restaurant). Took us about 3 hours for the overall dinner I would not prefer to visit again. However, would recommend to anyone who wants to get some pics for their "Instagram Posts". Just order some fancy food (recommend the Angaara Paneer, typically they bring it on Fire), wait "some" time for it to come over, take some pictures/videos, pay the check and LEAVE! read more

Deccan Spice - Edison - Angaara Paneer (Paneer Tikka On Fire) - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

A very hyped Indian restaurant. Prices are very high for each dish. They have lavishly spend on the decors and gizmos. Have a robot to deliver your food to your table. Could have focus more on the quality of food and price. In the most competitive Oak tree road this is a high priced Indian food store. read more

The first time I visited this restaurant I had raving reviews but my second experience was so polar opposite that I had to share. While the quality of the food is good, the service was poor and very disappointing. The waiters were slightly rude and not very helpful. We ordered our apps and main courses within 15 minutes of sitting down. We waited an hour for our ONE appetizer(which was like warm and under pleasing) and then another 40 minutes for the 2 main course items. We had to ask the staff multiple times about our order and even getting a bottle of water was a 25 minute wait. The manager, who was quite friendly the first time was honestly not considerate of the long waits and proceeded to make excuses about some staff not showing up for their shift. Food quality is their one saving grace - the butter chicken is the one of the best chicken dishes I've had. It's got a homemade feel that's rich in flavor. Overall, it seems the quality of this restaurant dipped drastically from my first experience a couple weeks ago til now. I no longer would recommend this to others. read more

Authentic northern Indian food in an upscale setting. This is the kind of place to go on date, or in my case an upscale dinner and drinks after work. Lots of options, only thing was our entrees were a little too spicy which I'm sure can be tailored to taste when ordering. Drinks were strong and delicious, loved the presentation. read more

Food was amazing! Service was meh. Waiter didn't know the menu and had to leave mid-order 2X to consult the chef on everything. Water was $16 ($8 per Voss bottles; tap was not an option) Tip for two adults and 1 child was already charged on the bill @ 18% since our family of 3 for some reason classified as a "large party". We typically leave 18-20% tip, but we would at least like the option. Reminds me of the Icarus & Daedalus myth- this place is flying way too close to the sun. $200+ for 2 adults +1 child definitely feels like a bad sun burn. Nice day at the beach with some pain that stings for a bit. read more

Food was ok. $125 for 3 people with 2 beers. Served us only bottled water without asking for $8 each. Naan's were $8 and $12. Rip off! Have a fancy robot only to get food from the kitchen to your table, once the robot comes to your table it just stands there not knowing what to do. we picked up the stuff and then the server comes telling us to hold on, so that he can put food on the table. Ridiculous! Looked like we were paying for the robot to get food from kitchen .... Probably, Will never go there ! read more

Let's start with the good. The restaurant space is beautiful and modern which is a nice surprise compared to other Indian restaurants. The music is great and a fun vibe for a night out. We came on a Saturday night and were there before the rest of our party. I asked twice if we could be seated at the table and the hostess refused to seat us until the entire party was there. The restaurant wasn't crowded and it was strange that she wanted to seat us in the 'lounge area.' We waited 15 minutes in the lounge area until they brought us a drink menu and I asked again if we could sit at our table and she said we had to wait for our party. I was pretty annoyed at this point because they wouldn't seat us even though I told her our party is still coming. When our party arrived we were finally seated. Our server seemed new. He shook our hands when we arrived which I thought was so strange and gross since germs are transported via hands and we are about to eat. He over explained everything he was doing ie he told us he was checking with the bartender about a drink and told us he can share what he noticed were the most popular dishes. When we had questions about the menu he had no clue about actual menu details. We asked if they had a home style curry and he had no idea what we were talking about and said all the meat was halal. We had to spell out to him to go check with the chef and ask which of the curries is a home style curry. He also disappeared for a while so we had to wait a long time to order our food and receive our food. The last time we came the server served our food but this time he didn't. We asked for spoons multiple times and our server never brought them so we had to flag someone else down. They ran out of many of the desserts which was a bummer. The food itself is good. The chicken tikka was strange because it was the cut of a chicken tender so it was very large. I'm used to getting it in a cubed shape so it can be skewered. The paneer appetizers were tasty. For entrees we had the railway curry which was the best dish of the night, yellow daal, pepper subzi and saag paneer which was watery. At the end of the night they kind of force you to scan a QR code to leave a review which is so tacky. The overall vibe of the staff is just strange and gimmicky. They have enough people working but they don't seem to know what they are doing and they over perform and under deliver. read more

I visited this restaurant for the first time and I must say it was very good. They are very hospitable and the food was great. I enjoyed the drinks and the ambiance of the place. I will definitely be back. read more

Visited for lunch. New interior and good ambiance. They seemed to have a good wine and scotch collection. Didn't try. Menu is varied and interesting. Ordered chicken biryani, it was very tasty, certainly not the best I've had but no complaints. Chicken pieces were red, almost as if they were cooked for Chicken Tikka Masala. Taste was good for all items. Staff is very polite and professional. I would suggest they be trained on the menu some more. Not an issue for me but definitely will be with some clients not so familiar with the cuisine. We got some left over curry and biryani to go. They put the biryani flat and curry box vertical, resulting in spillage in the car. Lack of attention to detail and small errors mess up the entire experience. Pricing: I found all items over priced by 30%. Bottled water, $8? No alternatives available. I wish the establishment all the best. Would love to visit again, not for the same pricing though. read more

Well well well, a upscale fine dining with low value to customer service. Visit this restaurant if you want to experience your money fly and your stomach empty... we tried their chicken lollypop; just stay away from it if you have tooth problems. Then their butter chicken was good but unfortunately their service is too slow that the 2nd Naan arrived when our butter chicken was absolute cold. I don't know why they have a fancy robot when someone has to walk with the robot to serve you. Utter waste of resources. Never to forget they won't allow you to carry water or serve water inside, you have to buy a VOSS for 8$ no matter what... If you know what I mean, stay away and spend your hard earned money at much better restaurants in town... read more

The one star is for the atmosphere and entertainment of the robot waiters for my daughter. This is a restaurant in Edison, NJ trying to pass for NYC. Lunch was $175 for 4 entrees with no appetizers or alcoholic beverages. That is ridiculous. The food was ok, there was minimal chicken in the curries which was disappointing. Also, no tap water offered?! I would only recommend if you want to go out to eat, but are worried about COVID and want to dine in an empty restaurant. read more

We visited Deccan Spice over the extended holidays. The food was very good and the service was quick and attentive. Our only regret was that because we didn't understand our waiter fully, we over-ordered Garlic Naans for 4 people. They were very large and cost $10 or so each. $40 in Naan was not what we needed and wound up wasting 2. Overall we were glad for the laid back ambiance and tasty food. read more

Ridiculously over priced. A small cup of mango lassis costs 8.50$. yes $8.50 . Highway robbery and a complete rip-off read more

Deccan Spice - Edison - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

We had an excellent dinner in a Saturday night. We ate only vegetarian options. The ambience was great, waiters very attentive, and food excellent. The overall experience was great. The menu had some interesting options that aren't available in typical Indian restaurants. For example we had vegetarian momos which were excellent. Similarly there were other interesting appetizers and main course dishes. The prices are significantly higher than comparable restaurants in the area for which I reduce 1 star. read more

Asked for a lamb biriyani. They gave biriyani rice and one lamb piece top of the biriyani rice. Any biriyani you ask i think they will give the same rice. Ordered andhra chicken curry. They have curry and put chicken in it and gave it. Further salt was little too much. Doubt if the chef even tastes the food. For the price we thought the food is gonna be kosher but the restaurant is a disgrace to oak tree road. read more

I discovered Deccan Spice 3 months agao. I have cited many times now. I am thoroughly impressed by the authentic flavors and delicious dishes on the menu. The atmosphere is like a high end NYC restaurant and very inviting, and the service was attentive and friendly. Theyhave robots and digital menus - a nice touch One of the standout dishes for me was the butter chicken, which was cooked to perfection with a rich and creamy sauce that was packed with flavor. The garlic naan was also a highlight, as it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Overall, I highly recommend this Indian restaurant. It not the usual north Indian spices so check it out . It's the perfect spot for a date night or a special occasion, and I can't wait to visit again read more

My first visit here and the 4/5 is becoz they are newbee in town... having said that, this is not out pf generosity, they earned it every bit... The ambience and suttle warm interiors make you feel in place... food was very tasty and not disappointing for a new business... good luck... read more

My husband and I went to Deccan spice To celebrate my birthday. We ordered pahadi chicken appetizer and old Delhi style butter chicken which was the best butter chicken we have had in the US. The saag paneer was delicious. The serving sizes are large. A little on the pricey side for naans and paranthas. Definitely a must try especially for the old Delhi style butter chicken. read more

I just had my birthday here and they really stressed out my whole family. Reshma, the manager, fought a lot with my parents who were just trying to give me a good experience. She up charged for so many things, and for the amount and quality of the food, charged us like it was a regal palace of some sort. I am not sure that they've figured out the importance of customer service and quality of service. We used to eat here literally all the time and now they've love +16 customers in my party by being rude and up charging like crazy. Very disappointed. This was not how I imagined they'd plan a birthday dinner. read more

Awesome ambience for an Indian restaurant. They have robots for service. Yes this is true. Their food tasted awesome. Try LIVE on FIRE on the menu. We tasted angaare Panner, biryani and chicken 65. Service was great . Will visit again read more

Great atmosphere, delicious food and the wait staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. We'll visit again!

there is no zero star review option, else I would have given 0 star. I ordered for chicken dynamite, chicken 555, dum chicken, dum mutton and Deccan spice biryani , not even one item tastes good, everything is like shit. Dont ever, like ever go to this restaurant. read more

Rude. Didn't give me a fork. Probably blew their budget on the dumb robot. Maybe they had a bad day. But I won't be going again. The roadkill chicken was terrible. read more

If you are one of those fortunate people for whom money is not a factor in your life or on an expense account then this place may be for you - on a week day when you might get the service you deserve and will pay for. I had seen the menu of this place a while ago and had decided that it was not for me based on their overpriced food, e.g. "Hing and Jeera Aloo" (Potatoes with cumin and asafetida) for $18 (served without rice) . However, I went as a guest and had the disgusting experience of a total lack of service costing you 18% even after they admit that they are permanently short staffed and even crassly offered a job to a customer paying through her nose for average food and nonexistent service. Then there is the matter of the VOSS water - already mentioned in another review by Dhara P. - and I also concur that the water is most likely tap water. If not, then VOSS is definitely not worth the reputation and price. It did not taste like the even cheapest bottled water and to add insult to the injury it was served warm not even room temp, and it is not just $8, It is $8 + 6.6% sales tax + 18% service charge. So, even if you don't drink their $9 (+ 6.6% sales tax + 18% service charge) beers to keep the tab down, you will still have the sensations of paying through the nose for your thirst. The VOSS bottle label indicates that it is recyclable but we don't think they intended it this way. How can McD afford to serve a nice cup of iced water - for free - to anyone at anytime for the asking, even if you don't buy anything is beyond our imagination. Another reviewer has aptly mentioned that this place is more like a regular N. Indian restaurants, with their $5+ Naans. There is nothing complementary like onions, papad or pickles here too. But, that should not be a surprise when you are made to drink water poured from VOSS bottles at $8 + 6.7% + 18%. Why does spicy S. Indian food even needs to be paired with VOSS water from Norway? BTW, we kept the empty VOSS bottles just to take them out of the "recycling" and left! May be some lucky folks may get to drink genuine VOSS water. Long story short, our waiter seemed to be serving a birthday party in another room and was not providing even 2% worth of service while we were paying 18% for it. As for an upscale restaurant, my place setting was between two tables over the uneven joint. We had less than 1 waiter for serving 11 people. Is this upscale? We had to wait 45 minutes and ask 4 times to get soft drinks and hard drinks, even had to return the bottle of wine because they did not have glasses and we did not intend to have wine for dessert and for a while the appetizer plates served as dinner plates. The food was delivered by a robotic cart (big deal, they use it serve mail in many offices) and served by a server who said this is your "Kooree". Did the owner feel like reducing the non-service charge or offer anything on the house to compensate for the poor excuse of service? Definitely not. You can pretend or aspire to be the Gordon Ramsay of Oak Tree Road with high prices and forcing imported water on unwilling customers but you can not and will never be one when you spell Amuse-bouche as Amus Bush and have no idea of what customer service in a restaurant is. Amuse-bouche should not even be on the menu - read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amuse-bouche. read more

Worst experience ever... Chicken Tandoori was boiled chicken with only Red color and no flavour or spice, we returned the whole thing just after one bite but they didn't do anything to fix it 8$ for 2 bottles of water which were pre opened Gratuity of 20% for a poor service for party of 2 adults and 2 kids Please avoid and don't get fooled by the ambience or robot server If there was a negative star I would have given negative 5 stars read more

This is not at all close to a upscale restaurant, the table was not clean, the spoons had stains and had to exchange it twice for a clean one. The price vs quality is a rip off. I was charged for bottle water but was served tap water, I was told I was served bottled VoSS but did not see the bottle on my table. I asked for lemon wedge and was later hit with a charge for that as well The soda served to me was flat without fizz, don't know how long it was sitting there There was no soap in the restroom, which is a public health code violation read more

I recently visited Deccan Spice and I do recommend it. Food is v good. They should consider alternative for $8 water.

Very very bad experience this restaurant should definitely be reviewed bad , very bad service the lady at the front is very irresponsible about her job they asked us for an occasion we mentioned it and the cake they gave us so bad and for that silly hard frozen cake they charged us about 16 $ apart from the bad service Please do not waste your money on this restaurant they are all about show off no quality read more

Ok, This may be just me, who the fuck is forced to pay for 'Water". at $8 per bottle may be just ridiculous. No tap water is served. Food is mediocre at best, you pay inflated prices which does not make any sense. Ambiance is ok. If you don't know how to spend your ungainful money this is the place to go. read more

Horrible service and you have to pay for water. Food is also mediocre. Don't go here!

I have been here a couple of times - the staff are really nice, place is clean, new & modern while my kids had fun seeing Robotcart deliver food. The standard dishes ( Dum Briyani, goat Sukka, naan, chicken appetizers) are all good; the chef still needs to improve on a few dishes on the menu. It is a little pricey. read more
