Very authentic experience! Great Indian music playing and the waiter was kind and the food came out quick. I got the goat curry which was phenomenal. A little annoying picking out the bones, but worth it read more

Our go-to Indian in Jackson! Always delicious and great for take out. The service is great and they always have our food ready when we stop by to pick it up. read more

Not bad. Probably the best Indian food for a long way. Spice avenue fills a culinary need hard to find. Generous portions and clean dining room complement the friendly atmosphere here. read more

The food here is amazing! This was my first experience here and I've enjoyed it. The atmosphere is welcoming as well, really nice people!

Ok basics bathroom was clean but keep in mind only 1! Wait persons nice but not informative. Food yuck. Nothing like any other Indian we had. When you say vegetables you don't expect potatoes. In our group we were dining with people that were proficient with Indian cooking. We were all sorely disappointed. read more

I've been in Jackson all my life and this is my first visit to Spice Avenue. As soon as I walked in, I felt this was going to be authentic Indian food based on the aromas coming from the buffet. Service for me was a slight miss. The wait staff did a phenomenal job with the other tables but I could tell those were "regulars". Maybe it was just me expecting full-fledge table service but it wasn't like that. But they didn't hover and kept the buffet stocked. The food was great! I tried several dishes from the plan basmati rice to the fish basmati rice to the stewed okra and butter chicken. Everything I ate today, minus the plain rice, was my first time trying and I was enjoyed everything. Even the rice pudding lol. Spice Avenue, despite it being a buffet during a pandemic, will become a part of my regular restaurant rotation. read more

Spice Avenue - Buffet plate - Indian Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

I came here for dinner service. The menu offers several Indian dishes that are familiar for anyone that has dined at an Indian restaurant. Great options for vegetarians in Jackson, MS. The onion bhaji was a nice appetizer; crispy with nice salty flavor. For a battered fried onion app, it was tasted light and filling at the same time. The malai kofta is a veggie ball that is served with a sweet creamy sauce. The server made sure to ask me my preferred spice level, I said medium but probably would've preferred spicy. Service was very attentive and friendly. Prices are set right. Signage mentions they have a buffet option at lunchtime. read more

I was so happy to find this restaurant in Jackson as I so love Indian food. Especially the Biryani dish. This place had quick and courteous service, and they gave large portions and the food was delicious. I ordered both the chicken and mutton Biryani dish with the yogurt drink and they give white yogurt and another side on the side. The prices are affordable and there was ample parking. I will definitely return. This was a gem! read more

They were so polite but the food wasn't good in my opinion. But My nephew liked it . It was our first time trying Indian food. Could be a required taste, maybe... I don't know. read more

Amazing food. A must visit. Service is fast and impressive. Ambiance is pleasant and welcoming.

Disappointed. We stop by for Lunch on our road trip. There was buffet but we ordered vegetable biriyani from the menu. The guy just mixed some basmati rice with the vegetable korma from the buffet section and served it as biryani. Come on!!! There an extent to being ridiculous and now you set the standard high..!! read more

I found Spice Avenue a couple of years ago through a Yelp search for Indian food. Each time I have made it back to the Jackson area I have tried to make an effort to eat here. You wouldn't believe what is inside the plain cinder block building you encounter when pulling into the parking lot. That parking lot could use some work. The neighboring area around the restaurant is also not quite inviting. But ignore the area, park carefully and enjoy a wonderful meal. Spice Avenue is decorated appropriately for an Indian restaurant. The booths were large and comfortable and there were tables as well. There was no bar. There is a buffet at lunch, but I have only ever come for the evening meal. So I can't speak to the flavors or temperature of a buffet. But who wants a buffet in a place like Spice Avenue that has a great menu? The waiters have all been very attentive and always eager to please. Never once have I had bad service. This evening I had a Taj Mahal beer. I like craft beers and specialties, never having been a big brewery fan. This was good. I was also served a water in a copper clad cup - no ice. But I'm told that that's pretty much traditional in India and when eating at an ethnic restaurant why not indulge in how it is traditionally served? People often forget that. An Indian cracker was served with three sauces: mint, sweet and sour tamarind, and a pepper sauce. The mint was good, and the pepper sauce will light your mouth on fire. I thoroughly enjoyed the sweet and sour tamarind sauce which was made with honey and very pleasing. I ordered the Aloo Tikki as an appetizer. I have never had a paneer (a small patty). This is a paneer made of aloo (potato) that has cottage cheese mixed in, and fried. The menu advertised a mint yogurt sauce. But, it came out with a stewed chick pea, cumin, onion and cilantro topping. The aloo paneer was great, the topping even better; so I wasn't really disappointed for not getting the mint yogurt sauce. The main course was goat Dal Gosht. Goat? You bet. Don't turn your nose up at it. Americans forget there are other meats than chicken, pork, beef and shrimp. What came to the table with a bowl of wonderful basmati rice was a delicious stew of goat, onions, coriander and drunken with lentils. It also came with a small accompaniment of chopped cabbage, peppers, peanuts and carrots that when placed on top of the stew gave it a wonderful texture. I love vindaloo but I think that this comes real close to replacing that as my go to dish. I saved room for dessert and ordered Ras Malai. This is a small paneer with coconut flavoring served in a milky, sweet cream sauce. It was superior. Definitely a have-to-get-again dish. With tip it was around $40. It was worth it. Other reviews of this restaurant have complained about the service - it was superior for me; the flavor - absolutely delicious and I have been to many Indian restaurants; the temperature of the food - it was hot and fresh; flavor - it was outstanding and perfectly Indian; or amount of food - I took some home. If you want American food, go to Applebee's. If you want a great Indian food experience, Spice Avenue is your place in Jackson. read more

This was a "try a new place for lunch" with the work crew stop. The atmosphere is VERY quiet (minus Bollywood music playing on TVs) and the restaurant is very clean. That said the food wasn't really to my preference. It appeared fresh, we visited early at lunch time, flavors just weren't my favorite. read more

We've tried several Indian restaurants in the area and this is the best! Don't let the outside fool you. The lamb curry is amazing, as is the chicken tikka masala. When we ordered, he gave us spice level options of: mild, medium, spicy, or Indian spicy. We went with spicy but may venture and get Indian spicy next time. It was a great level of heat without overpowering the taste. Make sure you get some naan; you'll want it to sop up the sauce! There weren't a lot of customers in the restaurant, but we did see several people picking up to-go food. The inside was very clean and all were wearing masks. Everyone was also super nice and helpful with questions we had. 10/10 will go back. read more

Spice Avenue - Chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, naan, basmati rice - Indian Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

My favorite Indian restaurant in Jackson! I've been eating here for some years now and I've never had a bad experience. One of my favorite meals is the Lamb Curry (Medium Hot), with Vegetable Samosas and Garlic Naan. The Mango Lassi drink is my all time favorite. Great customer service and food is already prepared quickly and fresh. Would definitely recommend! read more

Spice Avenue - a variety of food items on a table - Indian Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Went for a buffet on a weekday, was charged 36$ for two of us. Buffet spread included- veg- aloo curry, Dal, chana masala, jeera rice, nonveg- chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, tanduri chicken, chicken biryani, along with fruit salad, salad, naan breads and raita. The non veg curries tasted like canned tomato puree. Sweet in taste, would not recommend if you are looking for spicy food. read more

Travelling from Austin, stopped at this restaurant for a pick up. We ordered Tandoori platter, Chicken shahi korma and Tandoori roti and Aloo paratha Tandoori platter- Chicken and lamb overcooked. Fish undercooked.. Had to throw out 21.99 dollars. Chicken shahi korma 13.99 without rice. below par taste. Overall, overpriced at the level of quality/taste of food. I will not recommend Food here. read more

Super yummy!!! Definitely recommend Spice Avenue. The depth of flavor was so impressive and we really loved the tikka masala that we got. We ordered take out and it was ready by the time we got there, about 20 minutes. We will definitely be going back! read more

Delicious, authentic, and thoughtful, Spice Avenue hits the target every time! We've yet to try anything on the menu we wouldn't order again. As someone who has close ties to homemade Indian cuisine, I'm absolutely impressed by Spice Avenue! You must give them a try! read more

What a find in Jackson! This is legit Indian. Very reasonable lunch buffet, service is super friendly & fast. I am mostly vegetarian, and there were plenty of great options here. The cheese entrée in particular was tasty and sweet-hot. I tasted the butter chicken sauce, and it did not disappoint (Is there a bad butter chicken?). The vegetable samosas were just a little underwhelming, since there was only spinach inside. But then again, whoever heard of a bad samosa? I would guess that they get pretty crowded at dinner. But lunch on a Monday was really easy. Not too crowded, and the buffet is clean and fresh. Even if you live in Jackson, you might not have found this place yet. It is worth a visit. Instead of just going to whole foods like you usually do, try spice Avenue. And it would also be really great if you are passing through. It is on the frontage road right off the interstate, and could not be easier to access. read more

I've been wanting to come here for years and just made it today. My husband and I have been getting into Indian food lately so we were looking forward to trying the buffet. I was not disappointed! The food was really good and there were SO MANY vegetarian options! The cards above the food on the buffet also seemed to be accurate. Staff was really nice as well. My husband says it wasn't the best Indian food he ever had and said he prefers more spice. We would like to come back and order off the menu because I'm sure what they put on the buffet was more of the tamer, milder crowd pleasers. I was happy and I want to come back! I also noticed they were selling Indian earrings at the counter and I am all about that! read more

The food is excellent! Great value ! But they don't give their waiters their tip money! So go somewhere until they stop ripping off the hard workers! read more

Wonderful place. Have eaten here plenty of times. I love the food and the atmosphere. Kid friendly. Nothing but all positives!!!!

Hidden gem, right off the interstate, amazing service, magnificent ambiance, traditional and classic dishes.

Good service, okay-ish food, light ambiance It was a Saturday evening when my wife and I headed to Spice Avenue for snacks. They provided papad which was nice. Then, we ordered samosas and gobhi manchurian. The samosas were okay. But the gobhi manchurian was too sweet and loaded with it. That could definitely have been improved. Also, the items seemed too expensive for the area. I'd recommend better & cheaper places in Jackson for the same food. read more

This place has great food!! I loved my meal. I came here for dinner. I had cholley/bhatura as an appetizer and goat curry as my entree. Everything came out piping hot and fresh. Plenty of leftovers too. My only one hang up was having to order rice - it doesn't come with the curry! I wish they'd just include it with the entree's, even if that means bumping the price of the entree's up by a dollar or two. Service was excellent as well. Will definitely return! read more

Solid Indian food. Really great goat curry and vegetarian options. The lunch buffet is easy snd allows you to try a lot of options. Decor is simple but clean. Staff is friendly and attentive. read more

Holy strip mall! Don't let the location fool you- this place is legit! I went for lunch during the buffet and everything was scrumptious. I'm pretty picky with my Indian food and loved everything at the buffet and my mango lassi. If you love Indian food, this place is a must while you're in Jackson! read more

I've only gone during the lunch buffets but I love it every time. The food is amazing with the perfect amount of spice. Nice service and the naan is soooo amazing. They change up buffet options everyday too. The only thing I wish was that the labels were accurate above the correct foods because I don't know what I'm eating but I do know it's good. read more

First time eating here. The curry I ordered (chicken) was really good. I asked for spicy, and oh my! Lol..They definitely fulfilled my request. It was super spicy but soooo good. I couldn't stop eating it. I ended up getting a mango yogurt drink, which was also delicious, to cool the spice down lol. Our waiter was super nice as well. I want to go during lunchtime so that I can try a variety of different curries. read more

Spice Avenue - Indian Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

I was driving through Jackson and dropped by at this place for lunch buffet. I've visited plenty of Indian restaurants in big cities and this place doesn't disappoint. I saw some dishes from southern India, but they weren't as spicy as they should be. I asked the owner and he said they had to tone down a little for local people and I totally agree with that. Anyway, this place is great and totally you should check it out. read more

This place is heaven on earth. A scintillating mixture of spices that light up your taste buds and takes you to another place. Service never disappoints. Enjoy some Bollywood playing in the backround while you dive into your Indian food. A little pricey, runs in the 10-17 price range but they are the only decent Indian place in Jackson, so they have a monopoly. 10/10 would recommend read more

Spice Avenue - Chicken Tikki Masala, heat level (extreme spiciness) - Indian Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

I am a lover of Indian food. This place was delicious. I am vegan so I had the channa masala and vegetable pakora. Both dishes were extremely flavorful. My family members had the buffet which was $10.99 and they also enjoyed their food. After we finished our meal, the waiter was so kind to bring out small ramekins of rice pudding. My family enjoyed that. I'm from Florida, but the next time I'm here to visit, I will consider coming back!! read more

I can't believe I have not rated spice avenue yet. They have an excellent Lunch Buffet. There are a couple things keeping them from a five star review here: 1) Not really that spicy. I get it, it is a lunch buffet, they have to appeal to the masses and the masses can't handle it. It would be nice to have something that was more of a challenge. Try their dinner menu for a higher heat level. 2) Same dishes. Lunch is the same set dishes. They're excellent, no doubt, but they don't change. Two types of rice, paneer, chickpeas, lamb and chicken. Quality is excellent, flavors are so so good. Get the lunch buffet to sample, but try dinner for some spice. read more
