The waiter started with an apology for not being able to seat us outside. No worries for us! We ordered Malai Kofta and Garlic Naan. The food came quick and soooo delicious. I did find it a bit overpriced, compared to other Indian restaurants. But I would definitely go back. read more

Came here as I was invited by my daughter to have lunch with her. I don't usually go for Indian food but wanted to experience this cuisine so actually was excited to come. The restaurant is located in the Westfield downtown area. There are side street parking and public parking available. The restaurant was aesthetically modern and clean, with a touch of black and silver decor. Ambience was cool, chic. The receptionist was very welcoming and pleasant. We were given the chance to choose the table of our choice. For drinks, we ordered the mango lassi and the minty passion fruit cooler- both are excellent choices! For our appetizers, we ordered the crispy spinach cheese sticks with a mildly spiced dipping sauce and dahi puri- a crispy crusty pastry filled with cool yogurt and spices- both are absolutely delicious! For the entree, we ordered the traditional butter chicken and the goat curry. We requested mils as I can't tolerate super spicy food. Served with basmati rice and the garlic naan. Another super delicious dish I would truly recommend. For desserts, we had the Gulab Jamun Truffle and Rasmalai cake. They also served us spiced chai tea with milk. after the meal. Overall, the meal exceeded expectations from the drinks to the dessert. Totally recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. Already planning to come back again! read more

Went here for lunch one weekday and at 1:25p we were the only ones dining (there were not even any pickups during the entire time we ate). Started off with a flat soda, but luckily they had some indian sodas in bottles to replace with. The two of us decided to share two apps, and one entree, beginning with the Lasooni Gobi. The description said crispy but this was absolutely not the case. Flavor was good and presentation was amazing with julienned peppers on top. Pulled mushroom kebab was next and while the concept was unique, the execution was lacking. This needed some chutneys desperately. Paneer Tikka Masala on deck next- and when I asked the kind waiter if the paneer was really chargrilled like the description- he said it was in fact not. Okay, odd but thanks for the honesty. This dish has potential and was okay but never would be worth $28 esp with the appetizer serving size. We asked if the place was usually this empty and were told yes for lunches. We also learned the place was under new management. The ambience was nice, staff kind, food okay but the prices about 2x what they should be for the quality of food, serving sizes and location (come on this is the burbs not the city!) Our bill was $100 for a lassi, soda, 9 pieces of cauliflower, 3 silver dollar kebabs and 8 smaller- sized paneer. Nope. Advice: Offer much more reasonably prices lunch specials. More generous serving sizes and continue to improve food quality (there is potential) read more

Always a great place to eat. Went recently and got the naan pie (chicken tikki) and it was delicious. It was a tad small but the appetizers and food from other family members were filling. I will say it took an hour for our food to get to our table when it wasn't at all busy but other than that I love going when I can! read more

The food was 10/10 . It wasn't busy so we basically had the restaurant to ourselves. The garlic cheese naan (not on the menu) but let me tell you, that cheese pull was great! Chicken Tikka Masala was on the sweet side, so for me 7/10 but if you ask my husband it was 11/10 . Let me rave about this Shahi Korma, nutty taste and just the right amount of spice that builds with every bite paired with the Arabic Naan was 10/10. This might be my new favorite Indian spot. read more

Visited this eatery after a couple of years as we were visiting friends in the neighborhood and we were pleasantly surprised by the upgrade -- seems like this has been taken over by new management and certainly by a new chef. The menu is revamped and there was a certain freshness and modernness in each of the new dishes. The ambience is bistro-like and the service was alert and attentive; and notwithstanding a full house, and a demanding table, they stayed on top of things all through the night. The recommendations were sincere and well informed and amongst them was the mushroom shami/galouti kebab - impressive in its execution! Couple of other apps that stood out was a deliciously tender and moist chicken tikka and well marinated and perfectly cooked lamb chops. And if you love subtle flavors and not overpowering Indian spices the salmon tikkas were fantastic! The kale chaat now commonly available at seemingly every Indian restaurant was elevated by some freshly fried kale and uniquely flavorful chutneys. For dinner what stood out was the goat curry that had some great pieces of goat in a well-balanced spicy sauce and the eggplant in a salad. But, in general the naans, dal and everything else that gets ordered at an Indian restaurant were above par. And, if you need additional context, a notch above the Edison staples like Moghul and Bombay blue. BYOB and we will be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Had a feast @spicebazaarnj and I highly recommend it! Their menu features a wide variety of Indian classics and specials, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The dishes are modern, but the flavors are still authentic. We ordered the: Masala Dosa Croquettes: These croquettes were filled with a delicious masala filling and served with coconut chutney. They were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. Shakarkandi Sweet Potato Chaat: This chaat was packed with flavor, and the sweet potatoes were a great addition. Ten Spice Chicken Sheekh Kebab: These kebabs were juicy and flavorful, and the spices were perfectly balanced. Yellow Tadka Lentils/Daal Tadka: The daal was delicious and creamy, and they paired perfectly with the kebabs and Lacha paratha (layered flatbread). The paratha was served hot and crispy. Definitely would order this again. Tandoori Achari Cottage Cheese (paneer) Tikka: This was the best dish on the menu! The paneer was perfectly cooked, and the flavors of tikka masala and pickles were amazing. I'll definitely be back to try more of their modern Indian dishes. We were sitting outside this time, so we didn't get to experience their interactive dining experience, but we'll be back for that too! read more

I was excited to give this modern Indian restaurant a try. When I arrived I found parking not too far. I walked in and was greeted. Akil, our server, walked my friend and I to our seats. The restaurant was so nicely decorated! It is BYOB fyi. Akil was super kind, and he started us with appetizers. I got the stuffed tikka chicken bao bun, and my friends got the crispy cauliflower. Both were absolutely delicious! The bao was super soft. We also had octopus, and it was delicious! Next were our meals, I got the shrimp alleppay and my friend got the salmon. The plates looked delicious when it came out. They both were excellent, and the flavors were on point! For dessert, we got the chef's choice of two dishes, and both were very tasty! We absolutely had an incredible experience and I would definitely return! read more

Spice Bazaar is not just dinner, it's an experience. They take classic dishes from traditional Indian cuisine and twist them to be more modern, with some less-traditional ingredients and gorgeous plating techniques. The ambience is a bit dark and very sexy, a great date-night destination. The service was friendly, and they made accommodations for us on a certain menu item. We also mentioned on our reservation on Open Table that we were coming to celebrate our friend's birthday and they surprised us with Gulab Jamun and a sparkler candle. It wasn't cheesy with a song and dance, thankfully, and my friend who loves all things instagram worthy was thrilled with the surprise and the beautiful candle. read more

On a recent visit to New Jersey, several family members told us to try this restaurant and we drove for over 30 minutes (which in NJ could only be 4 miles) for lunch on a Sunday. Parking is street only but easy to find and the restaurant wasn't crowded when we arrived. Very friendly staff and chefs. Nice décor We ordered the spinach chat for appetizer which was delicious. For main course we really wanted the mutton curry, tadka dal, lacha and naan and soft drinks. Food was very good and would highly recommend. read more

I really like this place! I came for a business dinner and had a fantastic experience. We were able to snag a last minute reservation during the week and the atmosphere is very nice. Dim lighting (feels appropriate for a date but also casual enough for a family). Wow, the food is sensational! Everything was amazing: gluten free naan, cauliflower, chickpea masala, chicken tikka masala, and butter chicken were all flavorful (and you can determine your spice level)! So good, I even went back the next day. It is a bit of a higher price, but it's completely worth it! read more

Unfortunately, this was the worst Indian I've ever had. No flavor, too much oil. Please try Mejwaani in Edison instead. Or if you're up for the drive, Karma Kafe in Hoboken. I ordered butter chicken, tikka masala and garlic naan. Why was it $88 before tip? Everything lacked flavor, I was really disappointed. I really wanted to like this, it looks beautiful inside. read more

We used to love it here, but it's unfortunately gone down hill the last couple of months. I suspect that it's under new ownership, but the new menu (besides being more expensive) is not nearly as good as it used to be. The rice is just plain white rice now and the food has gotten more greasy and is less flavorful. Very disappointed they have changed so much and not for the better. read more

We've enjoyed the food from Spice Bazaar in the past but our basic 'go to' delivery order is now $90! Not sure if the new ownership raised prices drastically but $90 is crazy for take-out for 2 people. We won't get it again. read more

Excellent Indian food and impeccable service. I tried the fig naan and eggplant dip which I had heard great things about, but I was somewhat disappointed. The fig naan was not soft, and it was cold. However, the eggplant dip was delicious - it was spicy and overall worth it even if the naan accompaniment wasn't the best. We also ordered the malai kofta in saffron sauce and paneer makhani - both were delicious but I preferred the malai kofta entree more. It had a slight hint of saffron with spice and tasted very authentic. The paneer makhani had more of a tomato bisque soup flavor. I do recommend making reservations here on weekends, because it gets packed and it's difficult to find a table. read more

I loved the ambiance and décor! The service was great, albeit it wasn't busy when I went. I also liked that it was BYOB. The food was good, overall (more details below). But, as previous reviews have mentioned, the price tags for the food weren't justifiable. To be fair, the restaurant sells itself as modern and upscale with an innovative play on Indian cuisine. So I understand the prices will be higher than a typical Indian restaurant, however, in my opinion, the food wasn't "innovative" enough nor was the quality bloody superb to be worth the price. Hotel Buhari's Famous Chicken 65 ($18): What really completed this dish was their curry leaf aioli. Without it, I don't think the dish would have been that special. Stuffed Chicken Tikka Bao Buns ($18): Mine and my fiancé's top favorite dish. Absolutely delicious! Shrimp Alleppey ($32): This was our least favorite dish. The sauce/gravy was too thin. Traditional Butter Chicken - Tangri ($33): We asked for it to be boneless, which they were able to accommodate. We did like this dish, but it also tasted like any typical butter chicken. There was no innovative spin on this dish so why it's $33, boggles me. You can get great-tasting, authentic butter chicken elsewhere in Jersey for way less. Biggest Garlic Naan ($14): It was good but somewhat disappointing - the bottom was fairly burnt. On a better note, the size portion was great. read more

Today me and my family went over to this place to celebrate my sisters birthdays. Upon arrival I felt we were rushed from the get go. He stated we can't order apps and entree separate, and must be together. He was telling us not to try certain items on the menu because its no good. Then the waiter starts speaking Urdu when I do not. After our foods came we saw our two apps dishes were small and two piece per plate. We each passed a taco around taking a bite. It would have been nice to be communicated on portion size, considering we ordering two apps and there are 8 of us. After dinner we wanted to cut a cake but before we can even cut a slice, they are telling us another party is waiting and we need to wrap it up. Two minutes later our waiter said we have to go because other people waiting. Most unprofessional and disrespectful hospitality ever shown. I don't recommend this place one bit. and last but not least please look at the " kofta " they recommended, visually looks like they went down to a subway station and captured three rats and cooked it in curry. It looked appalled visually and tasted even worse. Finally I just wanted to say at least one of my sister if not both will get Married soon and this probably was our last birthday as just fam, but instead of heart warming memories we are bringing back with us a rude experience And rodent cuisine. Truly upsetting read more

On a relatively busy summer Friday evening, our family 4 adults, 2 kids, decided to go to this place for dinner. It was quite busy at around 7:30 pm, and without reservations, we got seated within 15 minutes. The overall setup of the restaurant is good with comfortable seating, and average noise levels. It's a BYOB place, so we were carrying our own beers, and only requested for glasses which took a while to get. They were however kind enough to provide us with an ice bucket upon request. Food menu is slightly on the expensive side and our order consisted of Crispy Cauliflower ($15) and Truffle and Mushroom Naan Flatbread with Goat Cheese ($12) as appetizers, the mushroom flatbread being the best one! For entrees, I got the Jackfruit Dumpling with Spinach Sauce ($24) and others got the Lamb Lal Mas on Lacha Bread ($25) along with some extra rice. While portion size is decent, $24 for an entree is a bit much to my liking! Service was slightly disappointing in terms of getting our order. Our waiter did not have a pen/paper in his hand, was completely distracted and we were confident he'd either forget our order or mess it up. We were glad it was the former, and not surprisingly he did come back again in 5 minutes to placing our order to confirm the order which was incorrect. Food arrived within 25 minutes of ordering, and overall food quality is definitely very good. read more

Such distinct and fresh flavors. My wife had the chicken Chettinad which she said was delicious. I had the Lamb Lao Mas entree which was fantastic. Beautifully seasoned and so flavorful. Meat was cooked to perfection. We shared a garlic Naan which was huge and perfect so dipping in the sauces. Definitely coming back to explore more menu options. Service was excellent.

I burst out laughing when I got the bill. Literally. Twice - that's two times the amount I pay elsewhere. Twice the amount of money for the same items and with one I specify, more money for less food. Thankfully no one heard my bitter guffaw as it was drowned out by the near continual screaming and gargling noises of someone's out of control spawn for 45 minutes. I nearly walked it. I joked to one of the waiters that didn't get the hint he should have told the inconsiderate diners to silence Nightmare Soundtot. To add to the sonic cacophony, the entitled couple next to me shared what were apparently videos of some event at some other place they apparently had much more fun at. Ah but I found it hard to share their enthusiasm as they kept their volume on blast. Three feet from me. Like I didn't exist. I'm Getting to the age where inconsiderate people are going to get verbally confronted with their rudeness. Was the food good? Yes. At that price, was it worth it? Not to me. One guy, one stomach nearly $70? This isn't a Springsteen gouge the old fans' 401K booty event. Example: chicken samosas were the tiny size you get six to a box at a grocery store. $9. No. 1/2 the size and twice the price. Now perhaps the restaurant thinks it cannot demand parents stifle the strangulation noises and shrieking of their urchin for well over 45 minutes. Think again. And as for the prices, ease up. There's a rescission on. Do you really need to charge that much? read more

Service is extremely poor here. Not once was my water refilled. Food took half hour to come. Also for the price the quantity is very small. Food was ok. The best thing was the lamb sliders otherwise everything was just fine. The bathrooms are cleaned maybe once a week, if that. For the location in prime downtown Westfield which is a relatively affluent area and prices that they are charge should at the very least afford me a clean bathroom. The toilet was equivalent to that of a highway gas station. Such a gross ending to a very sub par meal. read more

This is a beautiful place with a very interesting menu. They boast modern twists of some of the classic-iest Indian dishes. Great spot for date nights and Sunday brunches, but good any day of the week/meal. Only thing is I'd've liked the food to be spicier (personal preference), so I'll make the request next time. Also? The staff were super awesome-- nice, attentive, humorous. Definite worth going back every so often, especially since the menu is seasonal! read more
