A very solid 4/5 stars for The Spice Room in Elmwood Park. If you appreciate authentic North Indian…read morecomfort food with standout vegetarian specialties and proper Indo-Chinese heat, this place hits the spot. Appetizers -Veg Manchurian Dry: Excellent and easily an early standout. It captures that authentic, street-style Indo-Chinese flavor profile straight out of India--crisp, well-seasoned vegetable dumplings tossed in a savory, garlic-ginger glaze with genuine wok char. - Gobi Chili: Good flavor with a balanced sweet-and-spicy chili coating. The florets had nice seasoning, making it an easy crowd-pleaser for the table. Mains & Breads - Paneer Bhurji: The undisputed MUST-GET of the night. Fluffy, richly spiced scrambled paneer cooked down with finely chopped onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and fragrant aromatics. The texture was spot-on, never dry, and loaded with homestyle depth. - Dal Tadka: Superb execution. A fragrant, earthy yellow lentil base finished with a sizzling tempering of cumin, garlic, and ghee that lifted the entire dish. Rich without being heavy. - Paneer Tikka Masala: A bit of an outlier--somewhat ordinary in overall presentation, but carried an intriguing, unique spice profile in the gravy that set it apart from standard versions elsewhere. - Butter Roti: Arrived warm, soft, and lightly brushed with butter, making the ideal vehicle for scooping up the bhurji and dal. A couple of minor pacing delays during the dinner rush kept it just shy of a 5, but the kitchen clearly knows what they're doing. Order the paneer bhurji and veg Manchurian dry, and you're guaranteed a fantastic meal.

We already knew it'd be good the second we stepped in and noticed: (1) nearly all of the tables…read morewere full, and (2) every other diner besides us was Indian. We went with our go-to Indian favorites - chicken tikka masala and chana masala. The pieces of chicken in the tikka masala were a little dry, but oh, that sauce. It was creamy and flavor-packed, so much that I let my spoon scrape unapologetically against the bottom in my attempts to get every last drop. The chana masala was decent, with a respectable spice heat. The best part of our order, surprisingly, was the malabar paratha. We randomly ordered it instead of our usual naan, and that turned out to be a meal-changing decision. It's as if naan and croissants mated and had this deliciously flaky bread baby. Eating it left shattered pieces of paratha all over our table, and damned if we weren't trying to eat the crumbs. The menu boasts lunch specials, but when we went on a Sunday, our server explained that the special of the day was a banana leaf platter with various soups, curries, and rice. We weren't daring enough to order it, but it must have been good because it was on everyone else's table. I also noticed the server came by to refill the curries, which signals a possible 'bottomless' dish. Service was friendly but a little distractive. It seemed like there were only two waitstaff serving the whole dining space (while also seating new and incoming customers), which meant our server's attention was pulled in lots of different directions as he took our order and answered a few questions we had. Communication was also a little choppy as it seemed we had a hard time understanding each other. That said, his overall demeanor seemed warm, and he was good about checking in on us throughout the meal. There's a small parking lot in the back, along with limited (free) street parking available along the road.

Another year of Ramadan called for another dinner gather served by the food from Zakir's. I went…read morearound 2pm on Saturday to buy a bunch of their Ramadan special items. There was a huge variety of items, over 30 of them. They had the special like haleem, jilapi, fried items like beguni, peyaju, and kababs like jali and shikh. The sitting area was used for putting the items on display. The restaurant itself is showing signs of age. It doesn't look very clean. I bought two full platters of items, and three biryani trays. The staff was really patient with me, as I was shopping over 20 minutes. Got a small discount for paying by cash. Among the food I tried, the goat and chicken biryani were excellent. Loved the keema kabab and aloo chop. Fried items were not good at all. Chotpoti and haleem were also not up to the standard. But jilapi and misti doi were very tasty. We were sort of disappointed with such mix quality of the food.

Food - Below average. you could make slightly better food using packet sauces, and that is what…read morebothers me. For example, the chicken was just tough and another chicken dish was full of bones. The daal was watery and the pakaoras were cold. This is not acceptable. Service - non-existent. Other than bringing out bottled water that they charged us for, never saw the server again. We just kept piling up the plates on the table and that was that. Cleanliness - not good. The tables and the floor were grimy and the bathroom was horrendous, which says a lot since we were there at lunch. How bad could've it have gotten in the 30 to 45 minutes that they had been open? That tells you they do not clean. But what got to me was their dishonesty in pricing. The guy at the register charged me more and when I questioned him, he said that the prices had changed. I paid whatever he asked because I knew I was never going to go back and a few dollars did not matter, but when you have someone running a business in such an unethical manner, that is not a place you want to recommend or ever visit again.
