Bijal R.

Great location to have this restaurant. Plenty of seating inside, friendly staff, food was served quickly. Inside was modern and moody which gave it an elevated vibe. Overall the dishes were decent. Everything was pretty standard. Good portion sizes. Presentation of dishes were pretty as well.

Did the three course tasting and it was delicious! Such a cute atmosphere with great service.

Food was amazing! I love the modern ambiance. Cocktail drinks were amazing. You can adjust food to your liking of intensity level of spice. Wait staff were patient with explaining food. On street parking.

Spice Bazaar had great service, I legitimately asked the guy questions for 5 minutes. He was very patient and helpful. The chef personally brought out his exceptional well crafted dishes. The food was amazing full of flavor full of spice and delicious. Definitely coming back for visits whenever im craving some Indian food and definitely recommended if your craving a delicious Indian cuisine yourself. Btw worth the travels.

Interior decor

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!

Mushroom kebab- needs chutney
Ritesh M.

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)

Biriyani
Reviewguru C.

Fine dining restaurant. We got biriyani and an appetizer. Biriyani had a nice visual appeal as it was sealed with bread. The appetizer was fresh. We were seated outside. Good service

Spice Bazaar is an absolute gem! The ambience is warm, vibrant, and beautifully decorated--perfect for a relaxed meal or a special night out. The moment you walk in, the aromas and atmosphere instantly make you feel welcomed. The staff is attentive, the service is quick, and every dish is full of rich, authentic flavor. From the presentation to the taste, everything was top-notch. I can't wait to come back! Highly recommend.

Crispy Cauliflower

Love is in the air at Spice Bazaar, one of my absolute favorites in NJ for a Cosy Date night. Let me take you behind the scenes for a romantic journey--obviously with food (my second love)-- into their Valentine's Day Menu! . No prizes for guessing my first love! Picture this - Charcoaled Salmon with Lemon Rice and Malvani Sauce. Indulge in the elegance of charred salmon, perfectly seasoned with Malvani masala sauce, coconut, kokum, black pepper corns, dry red chilies, and coriander. A symphony of flavors from the South Konkan region, crafted with love. Now, let's spice up your Valentine's Day with Guntur Shrimp Tacos! Fall in love with masala coleslaw and mustard aioli. These are not your average Tacos! The fried shrimp is soft and flavorful (it could be more spicy though) and the thepla base adds an extra layer of flavor! Time to heat up your romantic celebrations with the showstopper - Tandoori Chicken Tangri served with Khichdi. No child's play, this massive tandoori tangri, perfect for two, will ignite the flames of that Delhi wala tandoori chicken. Ask the chef to add that extra kick to your khichdi, and you'll get it just right to add that extra spark to your Valentine's Day dinner. Don't miss out on these Valentine's Day specials; they're an absolute must-try for you and your loved ones.

Lacha Paratha
Ankita N.

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!

Chicken Tikka Masala  Arabic Naan Cheesy Garlic Naan Shahi Korma
Nicole E.

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.

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!

Paneer (cottage cheese) Tikka Masala - wish there was a few more paneer, the sauce was on POINT with a little tang
Brittany M.

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.

Ask the Community - Spice Bazaar - Modern Indian Dining

The info says Dogs are allowed. Is it just service animals?

I am not sure the exact answer. But it's fairly dark with semi tight spaces. I wouldn't advise having a dog here as you wouldn't want them to get stepped on or kicked.

Do you serve halal meat?

Some of the dishes are halal. Ask your server.

Is this halal?

Yes!

Is it BYOB?

Yes

Is the business taking reservations for outdoor dining during NJ Stage 2 reopening?

No, we are doing first come first serve due to limited seating. However you can also order spice bazaar and sit outside at our lavash location and vice versa. Thanks!

Is the lunch special available on weekends?

Only weekdays

This is truly a hidden gem . Being in Edison, we are used to oak tree road restaurants, and this…read moreone is far off from the regular Indian streets and yet serves some good food . E had been to lions roar brewery and we're looking to find Indian restaurants around.. Google had two options, but we chose this to try. We were glad that the option we chose , did not disappoint us... parking could be tricky.. I was lucky to get a parking close by... not much of ambience inside.. they have very few chairs and table to sit in eat: .. this looked more like a to go restaurant.. service was so good.. The guy spoke well and it was almost like cooking at home... very friendly . Ordered chicken pakora . It was ok. Should've had it right there in the restaurant... made a mistake taking it home because the steam in the heat, made it too soggy and tough to eat.. The taste was good though... the hero product and the best dish was the goat curry.. I have to tell the truth that I've never had a goat curry this good anywhere in New Jersey.. naan was good too.! very soft and decently sized.. we also had chicken 65 and it was ok . Overall had a good experience .. 4 stars ..

Hello everyone, I…read morejust placed order for chicken curry on Uber Eats at Anjana kitchen. The curry was drenched in oil I had to literally pour the top layer of the oil on to a plate and sink. I did order couple of times from here and the oil is pretty bad. I am uploading this picture and review so that people when ordering food from this restaurant are aware of the quality they are getting. It's important to eat healthy food for the cost you pay. Also the person who answered the call when I was reporting about the food seemed careless as I was urging him to look into the quality of the food that was delivered. It would be worth the deal if customer service was good when I was complaining about the food. It was a disappointment upon disappointment. Please be aware of your health while ordering here. Thanks
