    Chicken Biryani
    Ramesh A.

    I wanted to try this place as they opened near my place! Ordered one chicken dum biryani . Definitely stale and no flavor at all. Chicken is not seasoned and basic flavors are missing. The quantity of the biryani and meat pieces were adequate with one full egg, but focus on the taste !! Will try again some appetizers and Gravy and review!!!

    Plain Naan - very delicious you get two pieces.
    Sarah L.

    I wanted to give this place 5 stars just because of the service but my shrimp were over cooked so I couldn't enjoy them. However, the naan saved the day. I ordered the plain one and it was very light and soft. You could easily eat this all day and still have a meal. I would give this place another try because the flavors are there I just need my food to be cooked properly and some rice would have been nice.

I also got to pick up from their TooGoodToGo "competition" , Malgudi, but Kaanchi wins for me!

I am guessing this is/was a special as I had never had this before and I liked it a lot. 12/2: This TooGoodToGo I have only seen one more time since the original date of this review.

To abate the problem, utilize integrated pest management through creating an environment inhospitable to cockroaches: Increase deep cleaning frequency behind and under large equipment to remove any food debris/grease and spills/leaks; Continue to declutter the facility by removing any unused products or equipment to eliminate pest hiding places; Continue to seal cracks/holes throughout the facility around cove basing, electrical outlets, doorways/walls, under counters, etc. with caulk or foam; Continue to utilize glue traps around the facility (in non-food contact/storage areas) to monitor for activity and areas of concern to target for cleaning, etc.; Continue to keep all cardboard out of the facility; Continue to utilize shop vacuum to remove any cockroaches and dispose of them in outside waste receptacle (do not discard in indoor trash cans); Continue to utilize licensed pest control service on a weekly basis to maintenance the facility and provide detailed pest reports.

Their prices are very reasonable and the food is absolutely delicious, ESPECIALLY their goat roast biryani. It was incredible! Rice was perfectly cooked, wonderfully spiced, and the portion of goat meat was generous and the meat was tender, fresh and flavorful. Their masala chai is also excellent. Great balance of a full flavored black tea that was very creamy and well spiced. We also tried the bitter chicken and the goat curry. Both were amazing. The butter chicken was rich, thick, and flavorful. The goat curry was perfect! Meat was tender, again great portion size of meat, and the curry itself was wonderfully spiced. You have the option of choosing your spice level - we chose spicy, and it was a good spice level for us since we do like spicy food. The dining area is bright and cheery and they have Tamil and Telegu movies playing on the screens. The girls at the front are just so kind. We were greeted right away and they chatted with us while we waited for our order. They really were so sweet and were able to give us recommendations on what to order and knew their menu so well. There is a spacious parking lot and plenty of handicap accessible spaces right near the restaurant which was helpful. Overall we had an excellent experience at Southern Spice. Great food, very fair prices, cooked well and authentic flavors. And I really cannot say enough about the hostess and waitress. Honestly some of the best service I have ever had. Will absolutely be back!

It was nice to find this place open on a Monday when many other places are closed in the start of the week. The menu is pretty extensive if you look on line with some odd fusion options that you don't see on the dine in menu. The food here is very good and while I like spicy food, I would definitely order my items mild again as some of the dishes packed some real heat. We are a sharing crew and split the butter chicken, the chicken 65 biriyani and a goat curry. We all would order these again. They came with plenty of white basmati rice on the side and extra was offered if we wanted more. We also ordered some naan and also puri (which is deep fried and rarely do we see it on the menu at the various Indian restaurants in the area). The breads are good, but I have had better. We ordered Lassis, mango and salt and were dissappointed that the $7 mango lassi was not freshly prepared as it came in a sealed bottle like a Wawa ice tea (their own brand) and a straw. Lesson learned on that one. Raita that usually accompanies the biriyani in most places was an extra - several dollars for less than 4 oz. Service was very pleasant and accommodating. Decor is modern with the dining room boldly colored in fire-engine red and black. Menus are on iPads so you have to keep swiping pages for each subsection as the menu is quite comprehensive. On this visit, there was Bollywood-style dancing continuously playing on the three large screens in the dining room with accompanying soundtrack. While a bit loud, some of the imagery was definitely not G rated, so if you are bringing younger children, one should be aware of it. Takeout is also available as is some groceries. Food is good. Decor is trendy.

My wife, acting as both navigator and oracle, found Norbu after I asked for something within walking distance of our hotel. Four Himalayan restaurants, all within a short stroll, which felt statistically suspicious in the heart of Amish country. We chose Norbu because it had the best reviews and, more importantly, because it offered Nepalese and Bhutanese dishes, which none of us had ever tried. We are a family that tries to make it a point to say yes to the unknown. Finding it is part of the adventure. Norbu is tucked along North Christian Street, though calling it a street feels optimistic at best. It is more of a very committed alley. The restaurant sits inside an office building with a few brave parking spaces placed carefully on postage stamp sized lot out front. Had we been driving, I am certain we would have missed it and continued on, poorer for the experience. Fortunately, we were on foot and arrived intact. Inside, the place was alive at 7 PM. There were low tables with stools that suggested a more traditional way of dining, and a couple of unoccupied standard tables for those of us still learning. We took one of the latter and were seated quickly. We began with momo, a dish that seems like could quietly solve many of the world's problems if placed on the right tables. Soft, hand folded dumplings, steamed and served with a savory chutney. We ordered the "Mix It All" option, which gave us vegetable, beef, and chicken. Each had its own personality, its own quiet argument for why it should be your favorite. My older son ordered the Sweet N Sticky Tofu, which was the most familiar thing we ate all night. It tasted like a thoughtful conversation between General Tso and sesame tofu. Very good, very well executed, just less novel. I had the Pak Sha Datsi, the national dish of Bhutan, which I did not know until I read it on the menu and our server filled in the missing information with patience and enthusiasm. Norbu itself, we learned, is rooted in Himalayan traditions and a desire to share the food and culture of Nepal and Bhutan with a wider audience, which feels like a noble use of time. The dish arrived as a gently spiced stew with pork and a blend of aged and smoked cheeses. It was creamy, delicate, and somehow grew more interesting with every bite. It did not resemble anything I had eaten before, which is a rare and welcome thing as I grow ever older. My wife and younger son both ordered the Nepali Thali, a kind of edible symphony made up of curry, lentils, vegetables, chutneys, pickles, and a dessert pudding. My wife chose the fish curry, which was tender and lightly flavored. My son chose the chicken curry, which quietly became the star of the table. It had a familiar warmth, something like Indian curry, but with its own distinct voice. The accompanying mustard greens, curried potatoes, and a simple mix of green beans, corn, and carrots, were so flavorful that we found ourselves marveling at them like tourists at a natural wonder. Service was excellent. Our waitress guided us through the menu, made thoughtful suggestions, and shared a bit of the restaurant's story. By the end of the meal, we felt not just fed, but informed. Our only failure was not saving room for dessert. There was a chai flavored cashew cheesecake that sounded like it might change a person's outlook on life. We will have to return to test this theory. Norbu is the kind of place you hope to find and rarely do. It is hidden, a little hard to reach, and entirely worth the effort. Five stars, because sometimes you find something amazing and new, and that reminds you that the world is still full of good surprises.
