Food was excellent and servers were attentive, but not intrusive. This is the real deal.

I don't eat Indian food that much, more the fact that i don't know what to order but I stopped by and Sucha the server got me squared away, super friendly and the food was deliciou, thank you for being patient with me Sucha see you again soon brother read more

Staff was very nice. Ordering on Toast was easy, and there were four spice level choices. The Aloo Gobi was excellent, and had more cauliflower than potatoes (just how we like it). The Chicken Tikka Masala and Mattar-E-Mushroom were flavorful and wonderful. The side of mango chutney was sweet, flavorful, and not hot. Both the Garlic Naan and Onion Naan were tasty and first rate. We look forward to trying other dishes, and zooming in on which will be our regular favorites. read more

I ordered a to go Vegetable Biriyani. The taste was awful. Absolutely no taste at all and no flavors. Will definitely not visit this place.

Oct 2025 Update: We've had food from here several times now. When they first opened we tried them in those first couple weeks for dine-in. Notably the butter chicken was rich, flavorful, and easily the best in Redding. The other items we tried (samosa, onion bhaji, lamb, naan, chai etc) were amazing too. After that time, we did take out a few times & recommended to friends in town. A month ago our online order didn't go through and we ended up waiting 40+ minutes for our food as despite talking to them immediately when we got there, they did not realize our order hadn't gone through until 20 mins into us waiting. We tried to just cancel the order, and the owner not only canceled, but apologized, gave us a full refund and gave us the meal on the house. We got tikka that time and although at that point was disappointed in the overall experience, couldn't deny that it was delicious. Tonight we decided to give them another chance as I was craving a good butter chicken. We did take out and when my husband got home with it, as soon as I opened the lid I knew it smelt different. The best way to describe is it smelt like hot water mixed with hot sauce. We tasted and it was watery and lacked the flavors of before, which was disappointing. We called and let them know and took it back for a new one, and they gave us the same thing and said that was their butter chicken. Having had it before, while I'm sure it was a genuine error as everyone makes mistakes, or has a bad day, it for sure was not their normal standard of taste. I'd say it was a 4/10, not horrible but not good. And in the past was 10/10. After I shared that feedback on here, the owner reached out immediately and offered to make it right. He personally delivered a freshly made meal! Which was above and beyond. This time the butter chicken was good. But we did get far too many late night and early morning texts/calls about it. Oct 2025: Decided to give them another chance today. I have had their butter chicken a couple times and it was rich and delicious. This one didn't taste anything like butter chicken- theirs from the past, or in general. My husband called and told them we got the wrong thing and went back for a new order- but we got the same thing again! We showed them it, and they said it was their butter chicken. I am Indian, have had tons of butter chicken all my life, and have had theirs before too. What we got today was watery, and barely any flavor. Consistency, color, flavor and smell were all off. I'm genuinely sad as this was the first good Indian food I had tasted in Redding, outside of home-cooked. As a side note, the naan was good. Sept 2025: Will definitely give them another try. But please consider suggestions! Firstly, I would love to see this restaurant succeed. Redding and its surrounding areas are in need of a place like this, and the person who seems like either an owner or co-owner struck me as a genuinely good person. We ordered online around 1:30pm. Got there after our pick up time for a simple order. When we asked about it, the front desk said he'll check if it's ready- then never came back. Fifteen minutes later, we asked a 2nd time, he said there'd been a glitch and they never got our order. Feedback: Efficiency will be a game-changer if you want to stay popular beyond just the local indian community. A few suggestions 1. Staffing. Have two front desk hosts on busy hours. Have enough people for packaging food, taking calls, managing front desk. Don't overthink on ethnicity being authentic for those roles- they just need to be friendly and efficient. Hire for personality, and train them in efficiency. 2. Overstaff on public holidays. It's better to send people home early than risk chaos. Or if you don't have the staffing, close and enjoy the holiday. It's ok to close sometimes and better to close and keep your reputation & lose out on the sales for that day. 3. Temperature. The restaurant too warm in there to be convinced that food prep and storage meets safety regulations. Figure out how to keep it much cooler than it is, both for customer comfort and food safety. 4. Seating for waiting guests. Have bar stools inside or benches outside where they can sit. Get them out of the way of incoming customers. 5. Have a clearly marked shelf next to the desk for pick up orders. 6. Balance dine-in and take-out. 5-6 parties were seated and began to be served before our issue was even caught, even though we asked right as we entered. 7. My biggest recommendation: Operations. Research restaurant-specific operations and how to improve efficiency. Sometimes with the exact same people, time, and resources, things can run 10x more smoothly with the right operations plan. A consultant, a good book or two, or classes on this could transform things. Take a research trip even, to top similar places in Sacramento- see how they do things, ask good questions. As for the food- it was good, and this place is worth succeeding! We wish you the best. read more

If you are a fan of Indian food, and especially if you have discerning taste buds and palette, you will be so happy to eat here! Spice Garden and the staff (which I assume is a family) are a delight. The butter chicken is not your average butter chicken, it is filled with dynamics instead of one note flavor. They have chutneys and refreshing kachumber and their naan is thinner than some, but tasty! They deserve community support to make sure this little gem makes it! read more

The Chicken Tikka Masala here is delicious and pairs amazingly with their rice and garlic naan. Amazing Indian food and it came out quickly. Will definitely be back read more

Their very spicy goat curry is delicious. Take out was quick and the service was great. Will be back!

We moved to Redding from southern Oregon three years ago, and have loved being here--except there were no restaurants that served Indian cuisine of the quality we had experienced for many decades in Oregon.... Until now! We stumbled on "Spice Garden Fine Indian Cuisine" in the same location as the old Taj Mahal restaurant, located right next door to Boheme (my wife's hair salon) on Hilltop Drive (the same mall as Goodwill and Sportsman's Warehouse). After she bought her hair products, we thought we would try out the new (it opened only 5 days ago!) Indian restaurant. WOW! It's been very tastefully remodeled, the service was quick, professional, and welcoming. Their menu is extensive (don't be fooled by the small number of dishes displayed in the Yelp! app), and prices are very reasonable--especially for soups, salads, and desserts--which are generally priced $3-to-$5 each. BUT--what about flavor?? Their Mango Lassi was very rich, with among the best mango flavor we've ever had. Their Saag Shorba soup was rich, creamy, and flavorful, at only $4.99 for a serving size closer to a bowl (vs. a cup) at most restaurants. My Tandoori Shrimp was moist and flavorful, served sizzling on a very hot metal platter. My son loved his Malai Kofta, and my wife thought the same about her Chicken Coconut Kurma. The plain Naan was less soft and chewy, and more browned and crusty than we are used to, but the flavor was great! And after eating our extra order of Peshawari Naan (Naan stuffed with a mix of coconut, raisins, and cashews)--we didn't have any room to order separate desserts, which started with homemade mango and homemade pistachio ice creams, rice pudding, and Gulab Jamun pastries soaked in rose sugar syrup. We are definitely coming back soon, looking to treat our extended family members to some of the best Indian food we've! read more

I visited Spice Garden for the second time since they opened today for lunch and I have to say, the food is fantastic. Today, for three of us we had Lamb Saag, Butter Chicken, Shrimp Curry, and an order each of Garlic & Cheese Naan. Everything was very fresh and flavors were outstanding. Prices are very fair (Approximately $15ea for the entrees) our entire tab was around $60 and we were all stuffed and still had enough left over to take home another meal. The owners and staff moved here from Utah due to purchasing the business. They are very nice and trying hard. They have no association to the previous owners of Taj Mahal so it's completely new. New staff, new menu, new food, & better prices. The only thing that's the same is the building/decor. They are currently waiting on their alcohol license to be approved and working out a few kinks which is expected for being so new. They do also have plans to bring the lunch buffet back in a few weeks, per my conversation with a gentleman whom I believe was the owner. Go try them out. You'll be glad you did. Unfortunately no pics of our lunch today, but I'll come back to update with pics after my next visit. read more
