Solid 4/5 stars for Gaamthi in Parsippany. If you're craving an authentic, rustic Gujarati spread, their Kathiyawadi Thali delivers genuine, village-style comfort that feels straight out of Saurashtra. The thali is robust, hearty, and uncompromising on traditional regional spices: - Breads & Grains: The freshly made bajra rotla served with a generous dollop of white butter (makhan) and jaggery (gor) was the absolute highlight--dense, warm, and comforting. The kadhi and khichdi pairing also hit all the right soothing, nostalgic notes. - Sabzis & Curries: The shaak preparations captured that distinct Kathiyawadi profile--bold garlic, mustard, and warming red chili heat without being drowned in excess oil. The sev tameta shaak offered that perfect balance of tangy and spicy, while the stuffed vegetable dishes had authentic homestyle depth. - Accompaniments: The garlic chutney, fried chilies, papad, and fresh buttermilk (chaas) pulled the whole feast together, providing the necessary sharp tang and heat to cut through the richness. The only reason it's a 4 instead of a full 5 comes down to consistency during peak weekend rush. The dining area fills up fast, meaning hot bread refills and extra servings occasionally took longer than ideal to arrive, and a couple of the mild sides could have packed a slightly fresher punch. Overall, it's a deeply satisfying, homestyle feast that avoids the overly sweet Gujarati clichés in favor of bold, rustic spice. Well worth a visit for anyone looking for authentic regional comfort food. read more

Gaamthi - Indian Near Me - Parsippany, New Jersey

Spice Grill was renamed to Gaamthi. I think starting Jan 1 2026 it's going to be Vegetarian food only. BYOB

Absolutely loved our first time here! I went for lunch with my mom on a weekday. Food was delicious and very fresh. Service was excellent! I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a good vegetarian Thali. This is so much better than the overrated Gordhan thal n Kathiyawadi Thali on Oak tree rd. Food had so much flavor n was so light n non oily. read more

Well I used to love the food here and have been going for years. Went to order and was told they are out of meat- I said for the day or permanently - he says we are vegetarian now. Well- could have led with that, how disappointing. read more

The food is good and the spice levels are as perfect just as we ask. The kababs were delicious ! We had the chicken and mutton biryani and it was great. The indoor seating is very fresh and nice ! read more

The food is, for us, the best tasting Indian in the area. We love the Samosas. Paneer Makhni, and Malai Kabobs. Absolutely delicious. 4 instead of 5 stars for take out - we've had some issues with long delivery, wrong food. And tonight we barely got any rice with our dinner. Small sacrifice for the tastiness. Tandoori chicken very good too. read more

This review is more for "Kathiawadi by spice grill" although we ordered all kinds of food when we were there. We were a party of 9 people where we had teenagers, young adults, middle aged adults and a senior (80 year old) in our party and this is one family friendly place with nice decor, very good service and more than that fresh hot tasty authentic food served with love. Some people in our party ordered traditional "kathiawadi Thali" and we loved the variety in thali. The bajri rollas, wheat rotalis, Undhiu, sev tomato, methi gota was server hot and was very tasty. We got second and third helpings of these. Some people in our party ordered bullet naan, cheese butter masala, daal makhani etc and they loved what they ordered also. The place is not noisy at all so you can still hold conversation, the decor is very nice and they serve North Indian food, Chaat food as well as gujarati Thali under one roof making it a perfect place for family dinner. I highly recommend this place. read more

This was the first indian restaurant I ever visited, and it is by far the best I've had yet. The heat level is always on point, and the tikka masala, and vindaloo are always consistently incredible. The vindaloo has a beautiful red color without too much oil / grease, and the chicken is tender and flavorful. I have had biryani, korma, saag, tikka masala, and vindaloo from here, and it never disappoints. read more

Our absolute favorite for both buffet and a la carte! The best naan in the area! Love the green chicken and samosas! Love the okra and all the chicken dishes! My husband loved the mixed grilled! Hands down our favorite for many years! read more

"Average Indian food..!! Got kabab platter, whatever rest over from lunch buffet..." Yes, I heard about it a lot and my visit was not that satisfactory. first, they gave us corner seats and I can see a lot of tables were quite empty. The server was not that enthusiastic to serve us. and one big tall messy bulky guy was serving people like serving in Marriage 'BHOJ'. we ordered Kabab platter in appetizers and I had been to their lunch buffet and I can tell you, it is nothing different from that(Might be left over from Lunch buffet). not much option in chicken entrees, ordered chicken black pepper and it was full of black pepper, even after reminding them, they did not bother to change it (typical Indian rest attitude) The manager was courteous enough to ask us to pack the rest over food. The food was not bad, but yeah it was not that good. So average..!! read more

Went with 6 people. We all enjoyed our food but felt the dishes that said they were to be spicy were not. Dishes were balanced though and much more than I'm used to when eating Indian. Very mellow flavors so good for spice shy people. Took off a star because the service was spotty (soft drinks came at same time as lunch), garlic naan wasn't served immediately with meal and portions were tiny, especially for the price. They gave us one small dish of rice for 6 people. I left hungry. read more

Pure and flavorful Indian food including their new Kathiawadi section in a gleaming ambiance accompanied by caring service reminiscent of true Indian hospitality. We will definitely be returning and bringing family and friends. read more

The food at spice grill is wonderully and deliciously prepared, but it was the owner last night that won us over. After a minor mix up where we were served and began to eat food meant for another table, I felt so bad for the waitress that I offered to simply eat the meals we were served , which were new and different, and take home my originally meals to eat tomorrow. I fully expected to pay, but was given the meals by the owner for our inconvenience, which was no inconvenience at all. Must have the dry chili chicken, the eggplant with yogurt (Dahli Baingan), and the Hariyali chicken! All excellent! read more

The food is good in all but the delivery driver was so rude, he was angry because he didn't know where to go and I wanted my change and he still took 1 dollar from me, after my mom called him and asked why he took the tip and he just got angry and said you calling on my store and he abruptly hung up on her. read more

Such home-like food served fresh, tasty, and in good time! Service staff was very friendly and owner engaged in conversation with each table. Ambiance was traditional and inviting. Will be coming back!! read more

Not seasoned enough. Better than the last INDIAN place we tried. Naan is on point. Portions are chintzy. Shrimp was meh. Prolly not returning. read more

April 24, 2021 : this just happened. We ordered Bhindi masala, aloo gobi, veg biryani, palak paneer and naan. The bhindi was undercooked, tbe gobi of aloo gobi was undercooked and the peas in veg biryani were still frozen. And veg biryani had the stale masala smell. I havent even got to best part yet. I called restaurant to ask him what happened. He listens to me and then says - Call me after 1 hour, we are very busy right now and HANGS UP!!!! He hangs up. Wow Spice Grill - you dropped from a TEN to ZERO today. Food and customer service. Ace example of how we treat our own community the worst. So disappointed. Never ever again. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner and the service was spot on! I will definitely be back with the family.

Disappointing return trip. They are very friendly And they still have vegetarian choices. But instead of the delicious eggplant and okra we had last time, it was an almost exclusively legume forward ( and super carb-y) set of veggie choices, that were mostly ok rather than scrumptious. Dal, cabbage and chickpeas, peas and potatoes, corn and spinach. There was also a Karahi paneer, But it was not very interesting. There was one super leaden samosa as the only appetizer. I would've liked a soup too. The best dish was the corn and spinach, and the rice pudding (which was the only dessert choice) Was tasty too. I also liked the onion chutney. But there are too many other Indian options in this area for me to try here again. read more

Maybe my standards are too high, maybe this is best north jersey has to offer. But regardless, this was quite DISAPPOINTING. Service, decor, etc was fine. Complaints but no highlights either. $12 Indian Buffet: Cons: - small selection (tikka masala and tandoori were the only meats, several veggie dishes, dosa, salad etc. WHERE'S THE VINDALOO???? - flavors were the biggest dispppointment. pretty much all the curries and sauces lacked complexity. The flavors fell flat in pretty much every dish. The tandoori chicken looked like tandoori chicken, but it was not only dry, it also lacked tandoor smokingness and was quite bland. The same can be said of the tikka. Pros: - the naan was pretty good. they bring it to ur table fresh. - the chicken in the tikka masala was actually the second most tender chicken in curry i've had. TOO BAD the sauce was bland, not only in terms of spiciness but indian flavors in general. Overall: I would not come here again, but maybe this is the best in the area. That made me sad to think about for the locals new jersians. read more

Spice Grill is my go-to Indian restaurant hands down. The servers are very attentive and the owner is very kind and involved. Before the COVID-19 pandemic I used to come at least once a month for their lunch buffets where you get a large variety of options to choose from to satisfy your palate. Dinner is also good there too with a large menu selection and everything is always so delicious! During the pandemic, I've been ordering takeout from here all the time! My favorites are the lamb biryani, the chicken palak, and of course their chicken tikka masala. I definitely recommend that you check this place out. Considering that there are so many Indian restaurants in Parsippany, it is hard to pick a favorite but Spice Grill has easily topped my list! read more

This is by far the best Indian restaurant in the area (if not all of Jersey). The food was extraordinary and the owner is super friendly! Ambiance is warm and inviting. We ordered a bit of everything and loved it all (especially the eggplant and lamb). Plus, the private dining room in the back worked out perfectly for our party. If you're at all a fan of Indian food, you must check this place out! Highly recommend! read more

I'm upset that this place has went downhill. I used to eat here all the time a few years ago and used to drive from far away to get their Chicken tikka masala and always used to order a tray of it for the holidays. The last two times we ate here in the last few months the food is not the same! Taste is different now: not in a good way and the spice level is overpowering that you can't enjoy the flavor. Did they get a new chef or change ownership? I don't like the changes. Plus the service was very spotty, they didn't keep up restocking the Buffett very well. We were almost finished our meal by the time we finally got a small measly basket of naan. Had to go ask for water. Seemed their focus was more on take out orders instead of customers right in front of them. Prolly will look else where next time. read more

My wife and I took in their lunch buffet one weekday and honestly, I was very disappointed. We love us some Indian food and there's quite a few choices around my neck of the woods, so we gave this one a try because our go-to was closed on this day. I wished I just had just ordered Wonton Soup from my local Chinese take out and saved $30. Con's: - Too expensive for a lunch buffet. The variety of food that was offered was no way close to what they charged for a lunch. Overpriced big time. - Variety... As just mentioned, not much of a variety offered. - Restaurant is in need of a good cleaning. Walls are very dirty and the restaurant could use a good deep cleaning. Pro's: - Food was good for what they served, so at least what you ate was edible. Bottom line, you'll spend over $35 with tip for 2 for lunch. There's many a better Indian restaurant to choose from. Honestly, I'm not sure how they have 4 stars, but to each is own. I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

Really good food here. Since they have buffet on the weekends, their take out food is pretty much ready to go once ordered. I really liked the chicken tikka masala. I would continue to come here. I really like this place. read more

I've been told about this place from a friend and finally got around to visiting it. Since that initial visit, been back at least 6 times. It's a 45 minute drive for me and it is worth it. The food is always great, and service matches the food. Now a days, you either get good food or good service, but rarely do you get both, but nonin the case of Spice Grill. I love the lamb chops, Afghani chicken, and other tandoor items. The Butter Chicken is rich and creamy as it should be. Haven't been disappointed with anything we ordered. read more

Went for dinner on friday night with my boyfriend. It was pretty full by 7:00 and people kept coming in after we were seated. Its a pretty small restaurant but i could tell its clean even though the lighting is pretty dark. We were greeted by a super friendly manager/owner and then a less zealous waiter (who was still nice enough don't get me wrong) who brought us some papaad? Its a tissue paper thin "bread" that is a little salty for my taste and a duo of sauces. One was a green limey sauce which i loved and then the other was a non-sweet barbecue sauce. To be honest I was put off by this thin bread. I was expecting naan. Don't worry guys I got my naan fix. I ordered the lamb stuffed naan. The menu describes it to be stuffed with lamb but its more like it was smeared with lamb. It was a red color meat which was super intriguing to me and i assumed it would be very spicy but upon tasting it, i discovered that it was not spicy at all. In fact it just had a very very mild flavor. It didn't really taste like anything to be honest but i love the texture of naan anyway so i enjoyed it. For our entrees we got the chicken tikka masala and the chicken curry. Both dishes were sooo good but i will warn you that the portions are pretty small. The tikka masala was a tad sweeter than the others I have had. It was unexpected but it worked so there are no complaints here. Im not a huge fan of curry to begin with but i surprisingly enjoyed this curry even more than my tikka masala. It was pretty mild -spice wise- and the meat was very tender. Both of the entrees came with basmati rice. Overall I would recommend this restaurant to an Indian cuisine noob(probably why I enjoyed it so thoroughly) as the spices aren't to pungent and the menu has descriptions of each dish beneath it. Huge brownie points for that! read more

I was pretty surprised at this place, delicious tasting food was served at the buffet. Lots of non vegetarian options compared to vegetarians. I had paneer makhni,black daal, samosa chaat and vegetable rice (Chinese fusion) Out of those four I really enjoyed their paneer makhni dish. They severed soft fluffy naan also. Their service was prompt and friendly. I will definitely go back here again. read more

Do not order delivery from this restaurant unless your New Year Resolution to lose weight was to get food poisoning! We have been going to this restaurant for many years ,but, we will no longer give any business to this restaurant. We ordered food for delivery (we live 3 miles from the restaurant). The food had not arrived in over 90 min. We called and they stated food was picked up for delivery one hour ago. Food arrived after two hours and was cold. The restaurant owner offered nothing but sorry. Ruined our 10 year wedding anniversary dinner that we splurged on to treat ourselves. read more

(Don't read if squeamish) With an hour of leaving, I got extremely sick and vomited everything I ate. This has never happened to me before so I was quite shocked. I felt fine after all the food had left my body. The food tasted okay and the price was decent for it but I am questioning the quality. I will obviously never be back. read more

Great Indian food ! I love the saag paneer, chana masala, navatan korma, samosas, dahl makni, and the naan and paratha are delicious!! Always fresh and consistent! The restaraunt is attractive as well!!! read more

Just celebrated my husband's 50th Birthday at Spice Grill. The party hall was perfect for this occasion. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Though we were booked till 3pm, we didn't leave till 4 pm and they didn't even rush us to leave. Food was awesome and I received many praises from the guests about the appetizers and entrees. Only recommendation to the restaurant would be to upgrade their TV in the party room to a Wi-Fi TV making it easier for us to display any videos or presentations put together for the special occasion. Thank you Chauhan saab for making this day even more special! read more

One of the better Indian spots in the area. Located in the middle of a strip mall off Rt 46 in Parsippany. Fresh ingredients especially the veggies. Flavorful chicken, lamb and goat. Buffet offered on Sunday's. Can get quite busy. Unlimited Naan which is unheard of. $16 for several dishes. Chicken Tikka is fantastic. Veggie Korma is delicious (not available at buffet). Goat is flavorful as per the wife. The sauces are so good, plenty of dipping going on. Service is top notch. Not what you would expect from an Indian spot. BYOB so grab a nice bottle of your fave wine. Party space available next door. ENJOY! read more
