    Mango lassi
    Taehong A.

    I feel that this restaurant is good and serves a unique purpose for the community, but it is difficult to give a rating. The building is not in good shape, a bit of depressing lighting, and there is a big tv with the news on, which I found charming in its own way. The best part is the samosas, and the rest... I didn't find it offensive, but it wasn't good either. And I'm not sure I would even call it Indian food. The biryani just feels like rice with dry chicken. Curry and palak paneer is very watery. I think the best description I can attempt is that it doesn't taste like restaurant food, something that you really look forward to and makes you willing to pay to eat out. However, why I feel that it's not a 1 star atrocity is because of the price point they are hitting and the service they provide for the local community: Serving kinda real food (with good relative portion size) for less than fast food prices. The people deserve affordable, real food. And I really commend this restaurant for this. If you live nearby, I can see how it can be a convenient meal. Otherwise, it's not a place to make the drive for, personally.

    SAMOSA !!!! Yum!

    I love this mom&pop restaurant... they a great buffet lunch for $5.99 !!! YES and the best SAMOSA in town! l always come back...

    Veggie Samosas
    Michael A.

    This review is solely based on the experience of ordering Samosas to go. Tasted both the Chicken and Veggie ones, which were very delicious! Sizes of them are pretty big compared to other places. Haven't tried any of the other food items, though. Not really sure how busy this place gets or how popular it is since the location is kind of hidden on 355, near MVA Express and shopping center next to it. Didn't see a single person in there going on a Friday around 5:30pm.

    This place was amazing! Everything was fresh and aromatic. It felt like a tiny Indian grandmother cooked it. They have chaat and dishes here not commonly found.

    Veggie samosa
    Brandon A.

    This review is strictly for the samosas. Had them a lot but never actually gone and picked them up. It's very easy to miss this place so the photos on yelp actually helped. The samosas are the best I've had in moco and what my friends bring to every potluck. They are big, and loaded with potatoes and veggies. Just to note, but I was always used to them being $.50 per samosa and they are now $.60. Still great value but thought I'd share. Don't forgot to grab the chutneys as well to accompany them.

    New TV, no longer buffet to go

Sometimes, there is just so much to say that one is left agog -- and so it is for me with this place! I've been several times and to say I've never been disappointed with anything here at all would be an extreme understatement. I just don't quite know how to best sum it all up, so I have hesitated and put off writing this review. It is a place I know I can go to with much anticipation and have my high expectations upheld. The name is very fitting! Some places may say they are royal, and you could be left feeling ... less than that. This is not that kind of place. You will be made to feel like royalty here! The delicious dishes and their presentation is ... just wow! Nothing here is ordinary. Everything here is spectacular! I've tried so many things, I cannot remember them all -- but I do know that I love the Dal Makhani! It's one of my all-time faves, being so rich and creamy, mmm .... The Mango Lassi comes beautifully presented and literally dripping in dark orange goodness against the lighter milky-mango look of yoghurted-up blended mango ripeness! (Don't worry, the drips are all inside the glass!) The starter crunchy rice crips are very fun and tasty, as well. It's overall just really exquisite, what can I say? Very highly recommended -- a total, all-around Yay! :-D

Also, in roughly 9 months, prices have gone up nearly $2 for specific items that I had gotten previously, which isn't a good look. All in all, I still do believe that it's still up there for some of the best Indian food I've had in Maryland, but it's not worthy of the 5-star, as the 4-star fits it better. -- #issa.cheatday

I'd skip the chicken biryani here -- it's boneless, but the rice is just plain white instead of the flavorful fried style you get at India Palace. India Palace still wins for overall taste, though SpiceLife does have better appetizers. The onion padakoor and chili paneer were both really good! I tried the chicken tikka ($18), but the portion was small and had a noticeable tomato aftertaste. India Palace's version has a richer flavor. The Chicken 65 was okay -- small chunks for $16. The poori was fine, and the bhatura came as four smaller triangles instead of one big piece like at India Palace, but the breads here are cheaper. After trying a bunch of dishes, I'd say India Palace is still my top pick for Indian food, but SpiceLife comes in a solid second place.

I don't know!) and dessert. The idli and vada were both great and the sambar and chutneys were a wonderful accompaniment. I particularly liked the sambar - it was great with the idli. The biryani was great too, but way too hot for me. My friend liked it though. The chicken was juicy and tasty and the rice was deeply flavorful.

The restaurant has nice decor and a promising selection of menu items, but the execution of the traditional dishes fell short of my expectations. The Highlights: Timmur Chicken Wings: Absolutely amazing. The flavor profile was excellent and easily the best part of the meal.The Disappointments: Thukpa: I have very fond memories of this dish, but this version was highly disappointing. They altered standard ingredients and added fish oil, which is definitely not characteristic of traditional Nepali Thukpa. Momo: While the dumplings themselves were okay, they were let down by the sauce. What makes a Nepali momo superior is the specific, vibrant momo sauce (achar), but the sauce served here looked and tasted like a generic, store-bought version. Overall Verdict:While the menu features an appealing variety, the execution misses the mark on authentic Nepali cuisine. It has great potential, but they need to stick to their authentic basics.

Unfortunately, the dinner Combo noted at the top of the menu as an add-on was not available so we didn't get to taste the wider variety of foods we had hoped. Not sure why that was not available. It doesn't appear to be a lunch only option by the text on the menu. We ordered the Minerva Lamb Special, and the Chattinad Salmon Curry initially. A bit later we added the Paneer Masala Dosa. The food did not disappoint! The lamb was tender and the sauce flavors were not overwhelming but the perfect complement. I normally don't consider salmon to be a good curry protein but this dish was delish! The salmon was not overcooked and it didn't disappear in the sauce. Three cheers for daughter's choice! The dosa was huge with a scoop of paneer curry in the middle. We enjoyed breaking off crisp pieces to dip in the accompanying chutnryb& sandu. We obviously had leftovers and were provided with the perfect containers, including condiment cups for the chutneys and dips, to transport our dinner home for son to enjoy.

And I would say that even if I was not using coupon. We started with soups: mulligatawny and Sambar. Both were delicious. Then we shared an appetizer of Ginger Shrimp. The shrimp were lightly fried and coated with a delicious coating. Not "overly" gingered for me. The appetizer came with two sauces (one spicy and one sweeter) that were good, but I didn't think were needed because the shrimp were good on their own. For entrees, we got the Palak Paneer (mild) and Chicken Tikka Masala (medium spice). Again, both were delicious. The rice accompanying the entrees was well prepared. We ordered a Garlic Naan that was deliciously garlicky. The soups and appetizer mostly filled us up, so we took the entrees home and had them for lunch the next day. Everything microwaved well (including the rice) and the leftovers were outstanding. Service is overall good. So now I can recommend both for lunch buffet and for dinner.
