This is literally the best Indian food I have ever had. Just moved to Germantown​ from Bethesda, and this is better than anything I had down there. The goat curry was to die for, perfectly cooked and tender. The chicken Tika was fantastic as well. Very affordable all you can eat buffet for lunch. Dinner menu equally delectable. read more

Maria and her husband are the nicest and hardest working owners in the business. The new location is intimate and is allows them personal service. The food is just great and it's consistent as they've maintained the same staff for many years. Treat yourself to great flavors and friendly service read more

Went here for the lunch buffet, which I've had before. Food was pretty good as usual! Unlike some other Indian buffet places, the naan is brought out to you by a waiter instead of being with the other foods. The goat curry is delicious - meat falls off the bone and isn't gamey at all. The saag was also good, and I enjoyed the paneer curry. The butter chicken is quite dry/overcooked though. The potato and peas dish is very heavily flavored with ginger, so if you don't like that, definitely stay away. Gulab jamun was very sweet and soft, but the kheer (rice pudding) was bland in comparison. The most shocking to me though was the price - they must have recently upped it to $12 for weekdays, which is typical of other buffets in the area, but most previous reviews seemed to agree that it was around $10. read more

STILL the best tandoori in the area. How can a tandoori be as soft as butter and spices engrained so deep inside? If I'd known that I'd open up a restaurant myself XD Five stars! read more

I've tried their $9.99 lunch buffet and the food choices were not as many as other Indian lunch buffet places in Germantown. There were three vegetarian hot dishes, one salad, one lamb dish, one white rice, one rice with chicken, one butter chicken and one tandoori chicken. Unfortunately only one dissert - rice pudding was there and the wife owner told me they were making another dissert in the kitchen which I did not get to see during my dining. Food: 3 stars, average taste. However I particularly like their naan and tandoori chicken. The naan is more flavorful and crisp than what other Indian buffets offer. Tandoori chicken were made medium spicy which was another difference from other places. Service: 5 stars. The wife owner was attentive as I was the only diner the whole time. She was very personable and asked about how did I learn their restaurant and my honest opinion about their food. We also chatted about politics and the other businesses in the plaza too. This agreeable conversation made this experience more personal. Lastly the lady told me they are going to roll out a combo platter at the price of $5.99 which includes four pieces of tandoori chicken, white rice and your choice of vegetable dish. read more

The food at Spice Grill is delicious. I highly recommend this place. Restaurant is clean and staff is very friendly. They have a buffet from 11-3 seven days a week. All of their foods are good... I've come to this place 3 times in one week. Great variety and great quality of foods. Amazing read more

Best buffet! Food is delicious. Great variety and well made dishes in a beautiful setting. Had a party there and I wish the staff was a little more responsive and attentive but overall ok. Highly recommend! read more

Very good food. We had the Boneless Tikka kabob, Noorani Kabob, Grilled Salmon, and some curry that I forget but it was good nonetheless. Eveb the raita was goos. Only reason I had to take a star away is because they seemed understaffed. There should be someone designated for the outside area. There were times when we needed something but there wasn't anyone to help us. Other than that, I recommend this place. Will be back.. read more

I started with them with a catering order. Despite the rain, they were on time with the food. Yes, I was worried a little! Therefore, I was very happy to see the owner with the food right on time, but I was happier when my guests liked the food and started asking me about the caterer. Since then, I have stopped by many times to eat there. Excellent food! If you're familiar with authentic Bangladeshi and/or East Indian food, you must visit them. What I like the most is the owners' sense of customer service. Peter and Maria, the husband and wife team has nailed it when it comes to customer service. As soon as you step inside, you will be greeted with a warm smile! And truly, it's a very rare gesture you would see in the restaurants from the Indian subcontinent. Honestly, I like the food, but I like their customer service better! If you don't want to cook, but feel like eating at home, go to Spice Grill! Peter and Maria will make sure that you're at home eating delicious food! I guarantee it! read more

Was thrilled to find this place. The owner is originally from my hometown - Bangladesh. Ask them to make you our famous Bangladeshi 'Mughlai paratha,' or 'Bangladeshi-style biriyani (Wayyyyy better than spicy Indian biriyani - ours should be a creamy texture and the meat should be so tender it'd be falling off the bones..no spices other than nutmeg, mace, and some saffron - although of course Indo-Pak food is equally delicious!!) read more

Horrible customer service by a lady there. I walked in and waited at the counter for 3-5 minutes while she was doing paperwork at a table, and a man walked and she immediately took his order and went back to her paperwork I had to say "HELLO" for the second time before she finally came and took my order. She told me 10-15 mins ok fine. I run to the dollar general and come back and she tells me "everything is ready we're only waiting on the garlic naan". Fine. During this time other people are waiting for their orders getting them and people who ordered over the phone are picking up orders and it's just me left. We're now coming up on 40 mins and I asked her how long is it going to be because I have to go. She says we're waiting on rice so now it's going to be another 10 mins. Needless to say I waited 40 mins and went home empty handed. My first and last time there. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Read the first 5 reviews on Yelp. I'm always a little skeptical of the first set of reviews especially if they're all 5 stars. But, I love trying new places and this Spice Grill is really close to my house. Ordered the "Happy Dinner for Two" for takeout. It came out to ~$37. I always want to try everything at a restaurant and this is a great introduction to what they have: Happy Dinner for Two: Appetizer Platter & Soup of the Day, Tandoori chicken, Chicken Tikka, Tandoori Shrimp, Noorani Kabab, Lamb Curry, Naan, Mixed Vegetable, Dal, Pulao Rice, Mango Chutney, Cucumber Raita and Rice Pudding. -The Soup of the Day was good. I don't know exactly what it was but tasted like a chicken stock with curry base with lentils. -The appetizer platter was okay. It was battered and fried vegetables, so it doesn't translate well for takeout, I'm sure it would have been fantastic if we ate there. -It's not listed, but there was also a salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette. That was just okay. Salad was run of the mill, Vinaigrette tasted very fresh. -The Tandoori Chicken was phenomenal! Absolutely amazing. It was so fresh and fragrant. -The Chicken Tikka and Noorani Kabab were very good. -Tandoori Shrimp was also amazing. -I love Lamb Curry . This one was good. I wished it was spicier, but the lamb was super tender and the curry itself tasted great otherwise. -He showed me the Naan before packing it up and it looked amazing coming out of the oven. It's just the right consistency and was fantastic. -Mixed Vegetable curry was really well done. Right amount of spiciness. -Dal was good. -Pulao Rice was great!!! Fantastic spice on it. Overall, I had a great experience with takeout from them. I always want to support great small businesses and I hope Spice Grill sticks around. If you have an opportunity, go check them out. It's just an unassuming small place inside a strip mall but well worth it. I chatted up Peter, the owner, while waiting for the food. He was super nice and was really enthusiastic about putting out quality food. read more

Your search can end here, this is the best Indian food in Germantown. Actually, the best I've found in any of the surrounding counties. Buffet is always fresh and the owners are just absolutely delightful. Don't hesitate to go here, you won't be disappointed PS Try the Chana Masala my personal favorite and the paneer is top notch as well read more

The best place for Indian food around. I personally prefer their dinner menu than buffet. The happy dinner for two is the best. If you are a Bengali, they have some off-menu items to die for. Ask in Bengali and you'll be amazed. Moglai Paratha, Dal puri, and so many others. read more

Great food and service! Consistent quality been going here since they were in Rockville.

Food is just decent but service from the owner is just awful, you would think cause the owner is attending his business he would take care of his customers you're wrong he's an awful mean person, he's definitely in the wrong kind of business read more

We are here twice in a row. This place is really amazing and the food is cooked fresh. The curries and chicken dishes are very good. The breads are fresh and served hot. The rice has a wonderful flavor with saffron and clove spices. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. The service was quick. Enjoy... read more

Fantastic food! The lunch buffet is VERY reasonably priced and taste fresh ever time. Best Indian food in the area!

Great food! Friendly staff too. They do not serve pork for those who want a better idea of their menu. Definitely coming back when I can!

I haven't had Indian food since I've went to India and I can genuinely say this place is the real deal. The food is authentic and very affordable. If you haven't gone, please go! I highly recommend it! read more

If you love Indian food - YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS PLACE! By far the best tandoori and butter chicken we have ever had and my husband and I are huge foodies! Peter and his wife take every measure to make sure you are completely satisfied before you leave. Even the dressing on the side salad will leave you drooling for more! read more

I ordered takeout and was a bit disappointed. The samosas were spiced well but were mushy and greasy. The Chicken Tikka Masala had no cream whatsoever, was just a tomato sauce. The seasoning was ok. The Butter Chicken was too sweet and cinnamon-y, quite strange. The chicken in both was a bit tough. The rice was wonderful as was the green chutney. read more

Exceptional buffet. Everything has been very delicious each time I've been here; owner takes great pride and joy in cooking and delighting his customers with Very good food. read more

Great tasting food without having to pay more for a decorative atmosphere. The owner and hostesses are very attentive and friendly and provide excellent service. This restaurant would easily be $15 more expensive if it was closer to DC. read more

Good food, good prices, nice people. Only issue I had was the buffet was not kept warm otherwise delicious!

The people that work here are very welcoming and nice. Their subs are pretty good too. It's hidden in the shopping center full of business so easily missed by locals. Nonetheless good subs for a good price! read more

Was really hopeful after reading all the reviews but food was not fresh. Chicken in the butter chicken tasted stale and microwaved. Found hair in another dish (although they did take it off the cheque) lamb was ok. Mango lassi wasn't great like India Palace's. Chicken tandoori was good but overall, unimpressed. read more

Small lunch buffet but the food is fresh and flavorful! Better than Curry Place. Give it a try!

This it the best Indian buffet in the area. I have been here 4 times and will definately come again. The butter chicken an palak peneer (spinach) are really really good. If you are craving Indian food. This is the place to go. read more

Went for the lunch buffet and the food was really good! Service was also very good and they kept drinks full and removed dirty plates quickly. Cost was $9.99 so very reasonable. They are located near the Dutch market so parking lot was very busy but almost nobody inside the restaurant on a Thursday afternoon. The food tasted very good and fresh....was expecting a little more spicy but great flavor. Selection was limited but I'd rather have a few things done right than lots of things that taste bad. The naan was great. Would probably go back, but was hoping for some more spicy dishes. The dessert was great also. This was a good find. Nice atmosphere, good service and good price. read more

Very good!! I m not a big fan of indian food but i really enjoy this place.. My boyfriend loves indian food and after reading good reviews on yelp, we decided to give it a shot and not disappointed.. We always did carry out, mostly Fridays. Food tastes very light and spice is just right. Owners are very nice and polite, food is always on time.. The way food tastes i can tell they use fine ingredients and quality oils. I tried all chicken dishes and all of them are great.. Highly recommend! read more

It was soooo good! I've catered from here many times and will continue to! Love this place! LOVE, LOVE IT

Spice Garden is owned by the former owner's of the India Garden restaurant in Rockville. The new location is smaller but the food is still excellent and the owners continue to treat all of their customers like old friends. The menu items are a blend of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi, reflecting the owner's backgrounds and some of their favorite home cooking. Unlike some of the other reviews, I didn't find the service to be slow at all-it took about the time I expected for a carefully prepared meal. read more

First visit and not even done with my kabab yet! Tons of flavor and a good sweat going, they live up to their name!

The absolute BEST Indian / Bangladeshi food in Montgomery County, Maryland. It's a hidden gem, honestly. The best Tandoori salmon I've ever had. You absolutely must try their goat and also the Butter Chicken. The food is always fresh and organic ingredients. I've never had food that tastes old like at the other buffets nearby. The owners are also some of the nicest people you will ever meet! GREAT service always read more

Hands down the best place in the Germantown/Gaithersburg area for Indian food. My usual order is the Goan Fish Curry, very tasty and perfectly spiced. The Chicken Tikka is also fantastic. All around a great restaurant whether you're doing take out or dining in. read more

This place is a fantastic find! We had the Butter Chicken as well as the Lamb Korma and the flavor was spot on, as well as the spice level. The naan and paratha were cooked perfectly and the gulab jamun was warm, decadent and delicious! This is hands down the best Indian cuisine in the Germantown area. read more

Food is delicious, flavors are spectacular, prices are reasonable. Wish I lived closer!

We were very pleased with service, food quality and price. In particular the lintel dishes and sauces were very flavorful. We recommend the "Happy dinner for two" which we enjoyed very much. The waiting staff is very attentive. We look forward to go back. read more

I love the butter chicken with the jasmine rice. It is very tasteful and we always experience great service every time my husband and I walk in. The only thing I would change is the chicken; I wish it were shredded. Sometimes the chunks are a little tough for my liking. read more
