Overall experience rating 3.5 (but I'm rounding down) I was excited to try the lamb roganjosh, but it fell a little short. While the lamb was tasty, it was also quite chewy and overly salty, which seemed to be what they used to achieve the "medium spice" I asked for. The portion of meat was large, but it was served with a surprisingly small amount of rice, making it a bit unbalanced. The real star of the meal, though, was the mango lassi. It was incredibly good and refreshing. The dining room is quite nice. Large enough for groups. And the waiter was quite friendly. read more

I'm visiting from out of town , (California Native) and this restaurant caught my eye . I didn't even look at the reviews (Which I normally do) But as soon as I walked in, I felt welcomed by not only what seemed to be the owners (a married Indian couple ) But also their children as well, It gave me a home feel, especially because I'm very far from home. what I have here, Is curry shrimp, Rice, and garlic bread. ALSO THE RESTAURANT IS VERY CLEAN!!!! Will be back thank you again! read more

Spice House - Curry shrimp , white rice , garlic bread - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I'm not in Edison very often, so I knew I had to take advantage of the moment and eat at one of the many amazing Indian restaurants in the area. We decided on Spice House, located right on Lincoln Highway in a small plaza. We walked in around 9pm on a Friday night and were seated immediately. The restaurant wasn't busy at all; there were only two other tables with guests. It's a small place with a casual, mom-and-pop type of feel. Nothing fancy and not too big on decor. It mostly has booth seating and some tables for larger groups. They advertise themselves as an Indian and Pan Asian restaurant, but their menu focuses primarily on Indian cuisine and a few Indo-Chinese fusion dishes. So you'll see paneer, momos, tandoori, fried rice, curry, noodles, etc. on the menu. They offer Halal, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian options. Prices were very reasonable; most entree items were between $14-$16. We ordered: *Garlic Naan $3.50 - Come on, you can't go wrong with ordering naan (leavened, oven-baked flatbread)! Although it was good, it didn't hit the spot for me. I wish it was more fluffy, soft, and buttery. I've just had better :/ *Chicken Biryani $14.95 - An aromatic and flavorful dish made with basmati rice, marinated chicken, and whole spices (cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, etc.)! Chicken pieces were tender and seasoned to perfection. The basmati rice was fluffy and verrrrrry fragrant. You can tell it absorbed all the flavors of the spices. Just a heads up y'all, the chef really lives up to the restaurant's name. I like to think I have a decent spice tolerance, but this was a little too spicy for me. Thank goodness they gave me a side of raita (yogurt sauce); it helped a lot with cooling down from the heat. *Delhi Butter Chicken $14.95 - DELICIOUS. The tandoori chicken was marinated in a mix of spices (red chili powder, turmeric, cumin, etc.), ginger, garlic, and yogurt, giving it that iconic smoky and spicy taste. But the gravy was the star of this dish!!! It's mostly made out of tomatoes, butter, cream, and a mix of spices. The tomatoes give it a very distinct tangy flavor, but it's balanced with some mild heat from the spices. The butter and cream gave the sauce a smooth and creamy texture. I would order this again! *Gulab Jamun $3.95 - This is my FAVORITE Indian dessert. It's milk pastry balls doused in a warm sugar syrup with rose water and cardamom. Almost similar to dunking a donut hole in syrup... but this is 1000x better. It is reallllllllllly sweet, but that's right up my alley! This was a satisfying meal! I'm happy with the affordable prices and portion sizes. I wish I lived a lot closer so I could try out more dishes. They also have a weekend buffet on Saturdays & Sundays from 12-3pm. If you're in the Edison area, definitely include Spice House on your list of Indian restaurants to try! read more

Went here for pickup, and all I can say is, they seem to be short staffed. One guy trying to handle in house orders as well as outside orders, and also picking up the phone solo is not a good look. It was very, very chaotic. The food is good, and the price is about the same as anywhere else. read more

Called for pick up and the food was ready within less than 15 mins, super fast. Inside is super clean. Pricing of the food is decent - we got two chicken tikka masala and a garlic naan for 35 dollars. The chicken tikka had a good flavored based with a good spicy kick after your bite. The chicken itself was moist and soft. The garlic naan was good, smaller sizes than usual. They also did not give a lot of rice for two portions they put it in one container for the two tikkas. read more

Very good kadai and somosa chatt!! They were very well seasoned and a little spicy and sweet respectfully. The prices are very reasonable as well! The chili dumplings are okay, very spicy in a not so good way that sort of clogs your throat. I think they do Indian/Pakistani food better than indochinese. read more

Spice House - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

1/2 -- 4.5/5 Stars Spice House - Edison, NJ We were so impressed with Spice House that we actually went back a second time just to dive deeper into their menu -- and they did not disappoint! From the start, the food quality was surprisingly good on our first visit, and I'm happy to report it held up perfectly on the second. Over the course of our two visits, we ordered a ton of dishes: Sweet Chicken Corn Soup, Sweet & Sour Soup, Steamed Chicken Momos, Mixed Grill, Garlic Hakka Noodles with Chicken & Shrimp, Garlic Shrimp, and Goan Shrimp. For dessert, we tried the Falooda, Gulab Jamun, and Carrot Halwa -- all delicious and satisfying finishes. The portions are generous, the service is friendly and attentive, and the flavors are spot-on. It's not a fancy restaurant by any means -- more of a casual sit-down spot with a big take-out crowd -- so don't make it your go-to date night location. But if you're craving really tasty food at nominal prices that won't hurt your wallet, it's definitely worth a visit. Overall, I really like this place a lot. Consistent food, great value, and solid service. My rating this go round, is a solid 4 out of 5 stars. Will happily return again! read more

I actually saw this restaurant from a yelp notification suggesting I check it out. The name sounded familiar but I didn't think I went before so it was worth a try. It wasn't very busy but it was a pleasant experience. It's not a high traffic area, the other shop space in the block were also empty businesses. The only workers I noticed were the owner and a waiter. They took our order, and if there were any other requests we had, they got it for us quickly. The food was good. The proportions look like they're small bowls but I consider it to be a really nice shareable size for maybe 2 and a half people. So it's enough to share between 2 people but it's plenty enough where neither would stay hungry. My group had 3 people so we ordered 2 entrees which both came with rice and a soup. It was enough where we had our fill and didn't take leftovers home. It's been a while since I haven't taken leftovers home from a restaurant. Some might think that it could be too little, but I found it to be the just right amount. Taste was flavorful and expected for what was ordered. I did order a falooda to go which I personally get excited for as I think it's such an indulgent combination. As expected it had noodles but it wasn't soft enough for me to thing it was that good. Most of the sugar came from the kulgi ice cream that was used so it wasn't aggressively sweet but a nice milky drink. I'd bring people to this restaurant again to show them what indian food is like. It's not crazy spicy but it is a comfortable kind of palette in their food read more

I went there for one dish, the panak paneer, and it was great. Nice amount of cheese, the dish had good heat, but not overwhelming. Did it as a takeout. Looking forward to going back and trying that dish again and sampling some of the others. One suggestion; please put the phone down when you have a customer in front of you. In an area where there are so many excellent Indian restaurants, these little touches go a long way. read more

I have never tried Indian chaat and a review from a Yelp friend got me tempted to give it a try. Unlike most of the restaurants on the Edison stretch of Rt 27, Spice House is on the northbound side. Signage is huge and professionally designed. Parking is plenty and easy. The interior is also well thought out with red and yellow ethnic theme. The menu contains Indian and Chinese dishes. I knew I was going to try one of the chaats so I asked the manager for his recommendation. As a result, I ordered Samosa Chana Chaat ($8.95). In the process, I learned that the manager isn't Indian but Bhutanese. That may explained the color theme? It took a bit longer to prepare despite no one else was waiting. I think that was because the samosa either had to be cooked to order or had to be reheated properly. The rest of the ingredients were cold and ready made and just have to be mixed/sprinkled in. Most if not all chaats are vegetarian, so I didn't expect to be wowed. But the taste was explosive! It was plethora of spices, temperatures, and textures. The samosa was hot and chunky, the yogurt was cold and creamy, the chutneys were sweat, the curry was spicy, and the nylon sev was crispy. It was fantastic! I am glad I had a positive initiation to Indian street food. I will definitely venture for more in the future! P.S. 5% off if paying with cash read more

The menu at Spice House consists primarily of Indian dishes, although there are some Chinese and Hakka options too. The food was decent, although in general way too much sauce. Started with the drums of heaven (basically hakka style fried chicken chicken lollipops). I've had this dish at a few restaurants and love it, but thought that the ones here were not great. Just like the other food, they applied way too much sauce. Now I do like strong flavors, but this was just like eating sauce. Also I could barely make out any Indian/ Chinese/ Hakka flavors. The Hakka noodles were also disappointing. This just tasted like regular Chinese food to me. Slightly like Singapore noodles (from HK cafes), except less strong. Disclaimer. I did enjoy the Cumin chicken, as I'm a big cumin fan. This was flavorful with a fairly generous portion. Again too much sauce though. 5% cash discount. Large parking lot. read more

Came in for a weekend buffet. It doesn't have an abundance of options which I kind of like because it can get overwhelming. They have a mix of indo chinese and Indian dishes. The noodles were one of my favorites. Samosas were also great. I really enjoyed the butter chicken and chicken biryani too. Asked for fresh naan and it was garlic naan! Freshly made was delicious with the fresh garlic and ghee on top. read more

I ate here a few weeks ago with a group of friends. We were not holding back on the spending. None of us are Indian but we all love Indian food so we ordered appetizers, multiple naan breads, and our main meal as well as mango lassis. To say we were excited to try an Indian restaurant none of us have been to before is an understatement. I say this because from the moment we walked into the door we felt rushed, and given it was empty at that time and we called ahead the day before to make a reservation, this feeling was totally unwarranted! The weird vibes aside, everyone enjoyed their food. We had samosas and pakora for appetizers, chicken tikka masala, Hakka noodles, chili paneer, malai kofta and dal for entrees and of course- lots of naan! They had a great variety of naan breads. We washed it all down with our mango lassis, and likely would have ordered dessert if it wasn't for feeling like we needed to leave asap. Honestly, we laughed about being rushed the whole time and it resulted in some hilarious inside jokes, but at the same time, it's really rude to make patrons feel this way especially when they have just sat down to order! Had the service been a bit friendlier, this would likely be a 5 Star review. read more

Ordered the paneer tikka lunch's special online - restaurant is directly across the street from my work so was able to just walk over and pick up which was nice. Reasonably priced and decent sized lunch portion. Tikka was flavorful and for the size I was surprised how many paneer cubes I got. Would definitely come back and try other dishes. I also got the gulab jamun dessert but forgot to get a photo....a little too saturated but perhaps they were sitting for a bit. read more

Spice House - Paneer Tikka lunch special - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Damn spice house was on point. I went here recently for lunch time. In fact I went for a late lunch so I was the only person dining in at that time. The reviews were excellent on yelp and so I ordered a dahi puri and an aloo papdi chaat. Both items were presented so well and In actual ceramic serving dishes rather than paper/plastic plates. The papdi chaat was excellent. Flavorful, savory and fulfilled my hunger pangs. The dahi puri was excellent too. I wanted to try other chaats but I was so full. In the end, I ordered 2 cups of masala tea which were very good. Loved the taste and flavor This is definitely a spot I plan on dining again. read more

Good food. If eat spicy do say spicy or medium. Over all food was amazing all was good I will go again

Indo-Chinese fusion is such a rarity cuisine and this place proves you why, with their amazing menu. We ran into this place when searched for Indian restaurants in Edison area. The reviews were mostly positive and we decided to drop my birthday dinner bet on this one. We entered an almost empty restaurant on a week day evening and were contemplating if we checked a different restaurant, online and if we made the right choice coming here. We were attended promptly and given a seat by one of the waiters. They have a plethora of options in the menu and it was delightful to see a lot of Manchurian options. We picked the Chinese bhel and Triple Fried rice based on some of the reviews that had mentioned them. We weren't sure of the quantity and went ahead and ordered a Steamed momo, cauliflower manchurian and cut mirchi bhajji. The food didn't take a lot of time to be served, except for the momos (the server gave a head up that it'd take at least 25 mins for it during the order). Now to the taste of the food - it was AMAZING and lip smacking-ly delicious. Everything was well cooked and had a soul to it. We enjoyed every dish as we worked our way through them. The portion was huge and that's something we weren't prepared for and we had to pack some of the food for the next day's lunch. The service was pleasant whenever the person who waited or the owner-look person who also served and checked on us whenever he was at the table. But the problem is, they weren't checking on us consistently and that was bit of a sour spot. Water was not refilled regularly and we had to wait until somebody came to us for serving food and again waited to get us checked out. It's understandable when you are having a busy day with staff shortage. But when it was quite the opposite, we only wished we were attended to, promptly. And the sofa seats were little bumpy with may be broken springs, inside. PS: Yelp check-in gets you a 5% discount for $30+ order. read more

First time at Spice House since my cousin wanted to get some good Indian Food. I wasn't sure what to order but we got the following: 1. Chicken MoMo -- everybody had said these were good but I didn't get the concept of it? They tasted like regular chicken dumplings but they weren't bad they were good actually. Just nothing really stands out for me to say THIS IS THE ONE. Idk i might be a picky dumpling eater. 2. Lamb chili masala -- the sauce was super rich and creamy. But the lamb could've have been more tender. The spice level was medium and it was cooked to perfection. 3. Goat Biryani -- The goat was superrrr tender in this. The rice was delicious as well but the goat was the star of this dish. 4. Garlic Naan: I love naans but the garlic added to this was *chefs kiss* I can eat 100 of these in one sitting. Not even being dramatic which is the bad part. Overall, food was good and I think I've found one of my go to spots for Indian food. Service was great and my food was made on time. I would def come here again to try the other dishes. I just wish we weren't so hungry and took pics of the food to post thought lol next time! read more

I sat down for the lunch buffet on Sunday, 11/10/24 at around 12:30 pm. The food as usual was good, the curry goat and chicken were succulent and tender. However, about 10-15 minutes into my meal, the waiter serves me an unsolicited and unordered plate of carbs (chaat) and said "I made you this plate." I answered "I can't finish this." He responded "I already mixed it together." I thought this was uncalled for and inappropriate because I never asked for nor ordered this plate of carbs and I thought the waiter intended to fill me up with unnecessary carbs. It was also dangerous because I could have had food allergies to the food that was served to me without my asking. The reason I got to buffets is that so I can help myself to the food that I want and need. The very definition of "buffet" is: "At buffet restaurants, customers pay one flat price and then help themselves to an array of different foods arranged on hot and cold food tables." (source: Toast.com). That was what I was expecting and paid for. I did not expect a plate of unsolicited food to be shoved in my face just to fill me up. It violated the principles of "buffet eat-all-you-can" when a waiter who is an agent or servant of the business tries to serve me food I didn't order or want just to fill me up so that I would eat less protein. If a buffet eat-all-you can restaurant wants to limit the food intake of customers by serving them unsolicited food, that place should stop advertising as buffet eat-all-you-can. read more

This was good. Definitely a "return to" and enjoy again. Sag, lentils, chickpeas were all great. As was the naan.

The best indo chinese food we've had in the US. We ordered 1. Hot and sour soup - perfect soup to go with the momos 2. Spice House Veg Momos - great flavor and filing 3. Crispy lotus root - these could have been made a little bit better as the lotus root was little hard 4. Chinese Bhel - amazingly good, definitely recommend it (I am a bit of a Chinese Bhel fan) 5. Hakka noodles - these were so good! Full of flavor and nicely made The quantity of the food is generous! We were so full that we had to take 30% of the food home to enjoy for later. Anyone looking for flavorful indo chinese in NJ should definitely visti Spice House read more

Spice House - Spice House Veg Momos Chinese Bhel Hot and Sour Soup Crispy Lotus - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Had momo cravings and decided to try a new place, since most places in Edison don't make anything close to what we know as momos. Was pleasantly surprised! Probably because this place has some Nepali staff and they really know how to make momos, since it is their native food. Was expecting the sauce to be authentic as well but that was a disappointment, especially since they gave ketchup. Ask for the spicy sauce if they don't serve it with the momos. 4.5 stars for the momos. We were informed of the 15+ min wait time beforehand. The momos were really big with a delicious minced chicken filling and $10.95 was totally worth it with 9 pieces. Feeling bold, we decided to order the Chicken Choila, another Nepali house special, since the manager seemed really passionate about it. Was BLOWN away. Juicy, super tender chicken, unlike any kebab you've had in Indian restaurants. Chicken grilled in a coal oven and later tossed with onions, mustard and fenugreek - this was a win for the evening. This place is popular for buffets and this was really a surprise find. Special thanks to the super friendly manager who came over to our table multiple times to chat with us and make sure we were satisfied. The wait time was 20+ mins but since they make this absolutely from scratch, we didn't mind. Next on the list is the sekuwa which is another specialty from Nepal. They also give free roasted papads with chutney, which was so delicious that we had to ask for another serving (and they so very graciously obliged)! Thank you Spice House for introducing me to amazing Nepali delicacies in New Jersey! read more

This is a kind of hidden gem we found while going through Yelp. We especially drove 40 minutes on a weekday evening to try their chicken momos and it was definitely worth it. The momos are fresh and the wait time can be around 15-20 minutes as they steam it as per order. One of the juiciest I have had in the US so far. We also tried drums of heaven and goat curry with few breads and they also tasted really good. a must try if you are in the area or I would recommend a drive will also be worth it. read more

Highly upsetting experience on Sunday 5/14/23. I live nearly 30 mins away from the restaurant but was in the area and really missed the food here. I decided to get food to go for me, my partner, and 2 kids. I get inside to pick up what I ordered online and get told it will be about 5 mins. Great, I take a seat with my son and wait: almost 30 mins later it comes out. Not upset about the wait, things happen. But my children ARE getting fussy so I take my order and we leave, I got home and opened the bag to realize half of the order is missing. I definitely should have checked prior to leaving, but with me waiting 30+ mins while they finished, I (stupidly) assumed they would have put everything in. I gave the restaurant a call and explained the situation and ask to be refunded for the missing items. Instead, I get told that I can just come back. I explain it's not possible as I am 30 mins away (1 hour round trip) and there's school in the morning; it's simply not realistic for me to come back. The man I was speaking to said "not tonight, another time". I'm VERY rarely in the area so there won't be a time for me to come back, Hopefully my bank is helpful in getting my money back, but I won't be coming back here at all. read more

I had come here expecting it to be a Chinese restaurant catered for Indians. Though it wasn't explicitly listed as a Nepalese restaurant, once I saw the momos on the menu, I knew I was in one. In the other Nepalese restaurants I've been to in Boston and the DC area, the what I assume is Nepalese staff looked like they were a mix between Indian and Chinese. The staff here though looked like they were from South Asia. In the other times that I've been to Nepalese restaurants, I ordered their thali and gotten familiar Indian dishes but the spices tasted different. This time I decided to order a Chinese dish, vegetable stir-fry, and gotten a similar experience. My dish had more cumin than what I was used to and did not taste greasy like the usual Chinese takeout. I was impressed. I also ordered fried momos for the first time. It was dry, again heavy on the cumin, and the sauces (mustard and some type of chutney) did not help. I liked it but I couldn't eat more than a couple. I'll stick with the steamed next time. read more

My best friend loves this restaurant, especially its Indo-Chinese dishes. I was craving it for a while and decided to order from Spice House. My friend mentioned their chili paneer is superb and so I ordered exactly that. All of the Indo-Chinese entrees are served with jasmine rice, which is perfect because the sauces stick perfectly with the item you order. As soon as I took my first bite, I just couldn't believe how tasty and flavorful it was. Indo-Chinese is easy to mess up, but very hard to perfect. But Spice House nailed it! The paneer is slightly fried because there's a crispy exterior. The dish also has diced pieces of onion and peppers. The three ingredients are stir-cooked in a schezwan sauce. I requested to make the sauce very spicy and hence the spice was kicking it with every bite. I loved my first attempt; can't wait to try other dishes soon. read more
