Really good service, really good food, and a super polished interior. The lamb vindaloo was so good. I ordered it to be hot and it was definitely spicy!! All the flavors are super bold and our servers were super attentive through the night. I loved the crispy lentil thing they gave at the beginning of dinner. read more

What can I say? Spice Delight's dishes are simply delightful. The meals hit the right spot every single time - fresh and delicious. The prices are also unbeatable. Yes, you can still get quality food for affordable prices!!! read more

BEST CHANA MASALA!!!! great service and vibe too. Me and my boyfriend will definitely go again

Fantastic flavors, fast service and delicious food! Called in for takeout of chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. The food was hot and ready in 15 minutes! The naan was so good with lots of chunks of fresh garlic. The tikka masala was flavorful and the chicken was tender as well. It absolutely hit the spot with really nice portions. It included a huge container of rice for two entrees. Highly recommend and will be coming back! read more

Ordered the Tandoori chicken yesterday for take out. The service was excellent. My order was ready when they said it would be. There were a few customers eating in as well. Shared the meal at home as the food was enough for two people as usual. Came with basmati rice, chutney and Papris? Large thin crispy chips. I'll go back another time and try something different. read more

It's truly a delight dining at this Indian restaurant. The service is attentive, friendly & quick. The complimentary papadum is light & crisp. We ordered vegetarian samosa and Aloo Matar that's served with a generous portion of rice. They're masters at adjusting the requested spice level. Everything was delicious! Street parking is plentiful. read more

I just had the Peshwari naan and lamb kadhai from Spice Delight and...*chef's kiss* I cook Indian food often at home and was intrigued when I biked by Spice Delight. I placed a takeout order and biked over, since it's so close to home. The Pashwari naan is delicious! The naan itself is light and fluffy, and the sweetness was such a great complement to the spice of the lamb kadhai. I've often found at Boston-area Indian restaurants the spices tend to be muted--not the case here! I ordered the spicy version (not the very highest level, but the second highest spice level) and am over here sniffling a little bit. In a good way! It's quite a generous portion, and the lamb is lovely and tender. Each of the spices pops, yet all of them blend into a beautiful, flavorful melange. I. Will. Be. Coming. Back. Here! read more

My husband and loved this restaurant. The food was delicious. We loved everything we ordered...we'd never seen the Pashwari Naan with cashews and coconut - yum! The mango lassi was as smooth as silk. The lamb kurma and shrimp tikka masala with medium spiciness was perfect. The service and the ambiance was great too. read more

Ordered from here for the first time. To be honest, I didn't even realize the restaurant was there after having passed it many times. We got the chicken tikki massala and a bunch of other items and I have to say it was delicious. The food was fair priced and very easy to get in and out of even though there's only street parking. We took our food to go, but would definitely be willing to dine in restaurant. But the food was delicious and we will certainly be ordering food from here again. read more

Very high-quality food and their bread is delicious! My friends do take out a lot when we get together. I myself love heat and enjoy their shrimp vindaloo very much, although, their medium heat index is more than satisfying for me. read more

This place is awesome! Food quality, quantity and service is impeccable! All the servers and the owner are very nice people! The ambiance is also very nice and clean. We are Indian-Americans from San Jose, California. There are lots of Indian restaurants in the Bay Area. When we came to visit our daughter and granddaughter in Belmont, after we were completely Italian'ed out, we craved for some hot, spicy, delicious Indian food! And that is exactly what we got at Spice Delight. The owner was so nice, after we left, he came running after us to give our granddaughter Mango Lassi - on the house! read more

This is, hands down, the best Indian food you can get in or around the Boston area. And if you select spicy hot, they're not screwing around. HOT! I love this place read more

Great neighborhood indian restaurant. The chicken chilli is good, the chicken khadai is good, the chicken jalfrezi is good, the chicken pakoras are good and so is the garlic naan. I have not had anything else besides these things because I cant do dairy, dont like (whole) chick peas, dont like lentils and am a creature of habit in general. FYI sometimes on the weekend the kitchen is sloooow. Be prepared. They do a robust takeout business in addition to having a small dining room. read more

Highly recommended by friends so went here. Must say, they have good food! Vegetable Manchurian- ooh myy goddd!!!! Didn't expect this to be so good outside of India! Loved it! Perfect amount of gravy and sauces with the Manchurian! Loved it! Malai Kofta - again, yummmmyyyy!!! Awesome gravy, perfectly cooked, flavorful! They serve it with rice. Garlic naan- soft and nice! They also have good music playing on the TV! read more

Ordered takeout from here a couple of times and the Matar Paneer and Malai Kofta were delicious. The breads (roti and naan) could be better!

Delicious food. I got two meals out of what I wanted from our family order. Lots of tastes and textures. Great basmati rice.

Have been ordering almost exclusively from Spice Delight for Indian and it has been fairly consistent. Tonight the chicken tikka masala was too overly sweet and mataar paneer bland. Samosas we're still good. read more

I ordered chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and plain naan through DoorDash. I took the advice from Yelp reviews and only ordered medium spice level. The saag paneer tasted mild, but the chicken tikka masala was more spicy. The chicken tikka masala was rather sweet, so if I order from here again I will up the spice level to hot. read more

This is for delivery through Yelp. Ordered lentil soup and a curry. Both were nicely cooked. Warning: 'mild' still includes some spiciness, so don't be surprised. I'll order from them again! read more

Love this place! The food is ready fast, the people who work there are always friendly, and the food is delicious. They sprinkled some parsley on top for takeout which was a nice touch that made it look more like dining in. The saag paneer is rich yet still light (not at all gloppy). Super yummy and easy to stretch into a few meals if you're not ravenously hungry. read more

BY FAR, the BEST Indian food anywhere! Authentic and delicious. I've been coming to Spice Delight since it opened and have never been disappointed. The folks who serve are always pleasant, the service is quick and efficient, and the restaurant, though small, always feels like you're visiting someone at home, very friendly. Whether dining in or taking home, the food, quantities, and service are always exceptional! read more

Some of the absolute best Indian food around in my opinion. My family and I are Indian food connoisseurs, and we have been going back to this one again and again. Their coconut naan, chicken tikka masala are some of our absolutely favorites. read more

Delicious food and the nicest people work there. They have excellent customer service. We usually order Indian Food for birthdays and other celebrations where we have a large gathering and the owner or manager always throw in a delicious mango pudding or comp a lassi for the birthday girl. It's my favorite local Indian restaurant!! read more

I'm so glad to have found a delicious Indian place in the area! I recently ordered takeout from here and had the paneer kadhai, garlic naan, and samosa chaat. Ordering and pickup were very easy, and everything was so delicious. I ordered mild for both the paneer kadhai and samosa chat, but the samosa chat still had quite a kick so be warned! I look forward to ordering takeout again or to perhaps dine in next time. I can't recommend this place enough!! read more

Quite happy with the meals we had here. I had a veggie pakora (nice quantities, with a set of nice side sauces). Also went for the fish curry (the salmon meat was a bit tough for my standards, but the sauce was rich and delicious). The Spinach and Mushroom were excellent as well (think saag paneer, but with mushrooms instead of cheese). Finally had the lamb kadhai, which uses ground spices and onions and peppers. I'm not exactly sure which spices were used, but this combination of flavors were rather new to me, and I thought the meat was tender enough. I'm particularly impressed by the portions! The mild versions are quite mild, so if you like spicy, go for medium or above. read more

Absolutely excellent Indian restaurant. The tika is amazing, the paneer kadhai simply delicious and the garlic naan was served to us hot and fresh. The food here is served on the spicier side, so if you're not a fan of spice, let them know. But it was perfect for us. Service was friendly and the food came out quickly. I will be back! read more

We were in the area and decided to give Spice Delight a try based on the Yelp reviews and we are happy that we did! The place is bit small, maybe 20ppl max. So good for smaller groups. It was pretty empty for a Friday night(8.30pm), probably the crowd came in early. Food was good, tasty and in good quantity. We had the samosa chat(good) and lamb boti kabab(sizzler, tasty but bit hard to cut through)for appetizers. Malai kofta and garlic naan for main course was good too. If you can handle a bit spicy, I would recommend getting the Hot option, especially since this gravy has a creamy base. Overall a decent fare. Service could have been a bit better. We were one of the total 2 tables occupied, served by one guy. There were other staff looking after cleaning/billing etc. But our used plates and dishes were not being cleared. Even when we asked for new plates for the main course, he exchanged the plates, but did not clear any of the empty dishes from the table. (Almost felt like, it's not my job attitude). read more

I've ordered here before and I got extra-spicy thinking, like most restraunts, they would be mild anyways. But nope, I was horrifyingly surpised (and happy) at the quality and genuine spice level. This was about a year ago. However, my parnter and I ordered Uber Eats from here tonight and we were extemely disapointed. We ordered 'extra hot' vindaloo but got 'hot' (it even said only 'hot' on the receipt). We also only got one rice for our two orders... which is supposed to come with the vindaloo. The vindaloo also didn't taste like vindaloo, at all. It just tasted like allspice, it was really gross. I'm sorry to keep going but the naan was also really dry.... I'm not one to leave reviews but we were pretty sad about this, we don't order out often because it has gotten so expensive. So this was a pretty big let down. I can't recommend this place anymore and I don't think I'll order from here again. read more

Can't get enough of this place. Absolutely love it! Friendly and the food is flavorful, just be mindful of your spice tolerance. Recommend this place to anyone who ask me about trying something new or Indian food specifically. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect, but wow was I pleasantly surprised. As someone from a South Asian background, I have high expectations for Indian food and the explosions of flavor in all the food was a surprising delight for this restaurant being a late pick on a weeknight. I had the Lamb Tikka Masala. I forgot what I friend got but we shared garlic naan. I also got a mango Lassi. If you want to be constantly interrupted, this isn't the place for you. They leave you in peace and let you eat your food and are fairly easy to get their attention (in my opinion) when you do need something. There is ample seating, the atmosphere is relaxing and it's a family friendly establishment (though I do think if they don't have them they need high chairs). Overall would definitely recommend. read more

We decided to try Spice Delight for takeout because of a sponsored Instagram ad. I was craving something spicy and Indian so decided to give it a try. My review is based on takeout experience and food only. The first order (which was on a Friday night) was the chicken biriyani. We asked for it to be "spicy". The biriyani was served with raita and a tomato salad. The biriyani was rich, had a lot of cashews and dry fruit and tasted authentic. The chicken was not as tender as I would have liked but it was not bad. The biriyani was very spicy though. As someone who eats very spicy food, I will say that this was hot! So a pro-tip is to ask for mild or medium when you order. Overall it was good, but I took off a star for the spiciness and the tenderness of the chicken. The second order (on a Saturday) was vegetable samosa and chicken jalfrezi. This time I asked for it to be mild/medium. The jalfrezi was okay. Not the best in my opinion, but it was not bad. It was a little too sweet and the chicken was not tender enough. The samosa was very good. Overall, I will definitely try this place atleast once more, their biriyani is one of the better ones in the Boston area. read more

Got take out last night. Unfortunately I was expecting more out of the chicken tikka masala, sauce was very weak in flavor and had hardly any chicken in it. Maybe 8 cubes in a whole big container of what may as well have been a flat tomato soup. The aloo gobi was good. Paneer was in the middle, not super exciting. The naan was overdone and crispy in many parts I was hoping for a nice soft puffy bread. Seeing the rest of the reviews here makes it seem like my experience was not typical. I have left overs but I'm not sure if I'll bother with them. Oh well. read more

Best samosas this side of the Atlantic! Having tried most Indian restaurants in the Boston area I have recognized that they cut corners to produce volume at a competitive price. Just the nature of the business ; recommend they push more wine and beer to make up margin! But not Spice Delight... I had a takeout order for dozens of samosas that were very well received and passed my own high standards for samosas. Definitely will be back! read more

One of my favorite Indian restaurants and the only one in Belmont. The restaurant owners are very friendly, it seems to be family owned. Everything is good my favorite is the lamb khadai or chicken korma. That's beside the point everything here is amazing... Mango lassi is my favorite, as is the peshwari (coconut) naan. Inside the restaurant is very clean and the wait staff makes sure you are comfortable. It doesn't take too long for the food to be prepared- service is fairly fast. If you like Indian food I would definitely dine here. read more

Very nice straightforward Indian place. The menu has the usual fare you would expect, and a solid meat choice including vegetarian, chicken, lamb, and goat. Pricing is fair and portions generous, and all the while service was excellent. read more

Spice Delight is my favorite Indian restaurant in the Greater Boston Area. I've yet to be disappointed by one of their dishes. As their name indicates, dishes are on the spicier side. However, if your spice tolerance is on the lower side or if you prefer a more mild taste, Spice Delight allows customers the flexibility to adjust accordingly. If you're looking for Indian cuisine, it's 100% worth the trek. read more

Have been getting their spicy chicken tikka masala every time I am in the Belmont area. The quality and taste are consistent. Would recommend getting extra rice. read more

Had a great take out experience here. Ordered online and walked right up and the order was ready. Didn't have to go inside. We got the basics: vegetable samosa, naan, butter chicken, and chicken tikka masala. Everything had great flavor and the sauces that came with everything were very good too! read more

I really want to like this place. Friendly. Convenient. Airy seating. The papadam is best ever. However, the garlic naan was not edible. Thin, ragged with no flavor. We tossed. Tasted old. The chicken korma was flavorful, but it seemed it was pre-cooked then reheated. Not sure, but that is how it tasted. And as someone else notes, the "hot" is very very hot and the extra hot is probably reserved for the few who can stand it. Just needs a warning as most restaurants in greater Boston are mild when you order hot. Now I know! Will try restaurant again as they were super busy. read more

Great service on a night where they were clearly very swamped! Food was delicious, well-priced, and well-portioned. Recommend all of the apps, the lamb vindaloo, goat Kadhai, and mango lassi! Papri & vegetable samosas were super flavorful. We had plenty of leftovers. read more
