Food: we had the samosa chaat, chicken biryani, paneer tikka and tandoori chicken. Tandoori chicken and samosa chat were both delicious, I highly recommend them.

We found the Spice Connexion while we were staying at the Tru Hotel. It's a small Indian restaurant…read morethat doesn't have the best visibility from the road or the parking lot of the strip mall in which it's located. We were greeted warmly by one of the staff and told to choose our seating. After a few minutes she returned for drinks and appetizer orders. My wife order a mango lassi, and we decided on the fresh palak chaat. I tasted her mango lassi and agreed with her assessment that it was delicious--very creamy and thick. Our chaat consisted of a lightly battered and fried spinach, which we found addicting. It was light and crunchy with a small dollop or two of a seasoned, sweetened yogurt. We liked the dish, but longed for a bit more yogurt to temper its natural dryness. For our entrées, my wife decided on the Baingan Masala and I opted for the vegetable biryani. It's nice that Spice offers a mild, medium or hot spice level. Indian cuisine is all about the spices and they are explained in detail on a wall poster above the buffet unit. Pretty cool. Mt wife ordered mild heat for her dish (stewed eggplant with onions, tomatoes, and spices), and I chose medium. The spiciness was right on. Both dishes were tasty, but nothing we would order again. The portion of my biryani was "gut busting", and the raita was pleasant. Spice was a nice find, and within walking distance from our hotel.

I rarely visit a place twice (because there's so many good food places out there) but I ended up eating here twice in one day on our trip because of all the glowing reviews. I had not and still have not heard one negative thing about their food, including the reviews and the friendly faces eating around us; seems like the only way to go wrong is if you don't eat here! At 12:20pm we got: - Raw Roots & Greens Wrap - BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich w/ side of Baked Mac 'n Cheese - Side of Colorado Green Chili At 5:50pm we got: - Dark Horse Burger (with Ben's recommendation) w/ side of Side Salad with Fresh Blackberries - Cheezy Buffalo Cauliflower Dip & Chips Every time my boyfriend ate one of the items he would go "Mmm" and just keep nodding his head in approval which was hilarious to me because on the way up he seemed to There's a portapotty in the back, and Ben said he keeps a tight ship!

Pro: big parking lot, clean environment, online ordering. Con: none…read more I came to know about this restaurant through a flier that came in the mail about all the different combinations of pizza offer here so I became interested. I order the promotion of a Large 2 topping pizza that came with 2 Somosa, a masala fries, and a 2L soda online. Also, order the Alfredo pasta twist, and cheesy garlic bread. The parking lot is big so no issue finding a space. Upon entering the restaurant the environment was clean and organized. Greet by a nice front staff member and waiting for my food to be finish. My wait was over the estimated ready time but you know the saying that " you can't rush perfection". Started with the pasta and the taste was decent but nothing special but kind of sad at the portion size for a 12 dollar order. Prefer domino pasta dish over here. Next, I tried the somasa and again it was ok but didn't blow me away. Thirdly, tried the masala fries and it had a tangy taste that was interesting. Lastly, for apps was the cheesy garlic bread and again it was ok since some piece I couldn't taste the cheese while other piece had the taste. Moving on to the main pizza we had a topping of Canadian bacon, pepperoni, and Sausage. The pizza topping tasted good but the bread crust/bottom was very bland. All in all, it was a mix bag of emotion eating everything and I'm happy for giving this place a try but I don't see myself ordering from here in the future.

I popped in here while I was passing through Somerset on a road trip…read more While I trust that the ingredients are probably pretty good, there was zero flavor to the mermaid bowl, other than the sweetness of the strawberries (and they give you three different kinds of fruit on top). I eat A LOT of smoothie bowls. I think it could be tweaked with a coconut base or more tropical flavor of some kind. It just didn't do it for me. I also walked away with 3 shots. Those were pretty good and decently priced. Aside from that, the non-greeting when walking into the shop just left a sour taste in my mouth. I mean, this is a small town juice shop. Isn't that supposed to be a given? Overall, this was just a mediocre experience.

Another great find in Woodbridge. We'll be back.

I also noticed they carry a nice selection of vegan snacks, which is a great bonus. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area, I'll be back to try more!

Bloomfield area of Pittsburgh was not one I explored much when I lived there many years ago. But…read morethere was one place I went to there that I had to return to when I returned for a visit. Apteka. This was perfect for my wife, who is vegan. An all vegan Eastern-European eatery. Great weather added to the ambience. Plenty of plants in the background. We had a foursome with my friend and his husband. Apteka offers a service where you place your orders at the bar, and they come bring the food to you when it's ready. We started off with Hungarian fried bread (Langos) and then followed it with Salatka ziemniaczana. Potato salad with greens. Entree we had the pierogis. I mean, we Had to, back in Pittsburgh. Only thing missing was the cookie table but the dessert was great as well. Everything was comforting and filling. Plenty for us two. They had a special collab beer with 2 Frays, a brewery that is really solid. Was just starting off when I was leaving Pittsburgh 5 years ago and now has been pretty popular in Bloomfield. Overall, Apteka offers fine dining, inspired dishes with a vegan twist, and is a must. Reservations are a must as dining is limited to the weekend.

Food was super tasty, but that's about the only good thing about this restaurant…read more You order at the bar, get a number, and your food comes out to your table. This resulted in a chaotic atmosphere at the two places where you could order food and constantly having to get up from your table every time you needed something. The staff essentially became food runners and they were not very pleasant. We were told that we could not have an appetizer followed by our main course as "food comes out as it's ready." With the bar being backed up, this meant we received some apparently pre-made food even before our drinks arrived. Again, it felt chaotic. The final proverbial "straw" was that they sat strangers right next to us at the same table which was extremely awkward and uncomfortable. All in all, it was hands-down one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. :(

It just doesn't have quite a similar flavor and it's not as satisfying, with most of the food having some artificial flavor to it. I got to try their breakfast sandwich ("no egg" bagel), ranch, and peaches n cream egg roll. The egg just tasted strange. It was somewhat greasy and very artificial. The bagel itself was fine but just very standard. An okay price for the portion. The ranch it was served with was also watery and just didn't hit the spot. I will say though, I added a hashbrown and the hashbrown was very good. The egg roll was a bit better, but still had some artificial flavor to it. Portion was fine and the peaches tasted reasonably fresh for something like this. Not bad. All in all, it's an okay spot. The food looked better on the photos. The presentation is almost always good but the flavor is not so much.
