The restaurant is in bad repair and was filthy! I would normally not stayed and ordered but it was the only place open. The young man that I ordered from only brought me 1 of the 3 items I ordered correctly. The butter chicken was actually surprisingly good. Not a place I would ever go back to! 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

Came here on Saturday, 10/2 around 7:30 pm and what a disaster. I should've known by the look of the unhappy patrons this was not going to be a good vibe experience. They had 1 waiter available for the entire restaurant and once in a while someone would come out of the kitchen (possibly the cook) to deliver food to disgruntled, waiting guests. We ordered 4 different items from the menu and although the food tasted ok, the wait in-between each item served was about 20 minutes. So, we received 1 item first, 20 minutes later, the 2nd item was served, another 20 minutes, 3rd item was served and so on and so forth. The family next to us got up and left because the wait was ridiculous. Another patron had to get up to go to the person working the register and ask them where was his food because he was waiting over 1 hour!! Overall, I would never come back simply for the poor service received in wait time. read more

We visited in the middle of the afternoon on Father's Day. We had been there once a year for the last 7 years and we were never disappointed. But this meal was exceptional. We had the chicken curry homestyle, tika massala, aloo gobi and garlic nan. All the dishes were rich and savory and the spice did not overwhelm the flavors. The chicken in the curry was tender and moist. The massala was the best we ever had. The ambiance of the room was very plain but who cares! The service was very friendly. It is an hour from our home but we will make every effort to return. read more

I used to come here all the time because the food is good, but they have poor hygiene, don't practice covid safety, and frankly don't care. When I saw the cook wasn't wearing a mask and talking over the food, I asked to please have my food remade by someone who is wearing one. The guy at the front was huffing and puffing, threw the bagged food to the side (because I didn't see this until I approached at the end) and told them to put a mask on. I said forget it and just wanted my money back. After handing me my card he said "we're all vaccinated"... Well you obviously aren't if you waited until then to say something. Still, you work with food during a pandemic. I'm so disappointed and hope they fix the staff issues soon. read more

Spice House is one of my new favorite restaurants. Craving good Indian food we first went to a nearby place on 27 that turned out to be takeout only. I'm glad I happened upon Spice House. Its located at the former location of Spice Zone but it's Indian Chinese fusion. Sometimes when I see the word fusion, especially in the setting of a strip mall in NJ, I think of sushi rolls and bad Thai food. However there exists true og Asian fusion before it became a thing. Asian countries have their own take on their neighboring countries' food and have done so for a long time apparently. Coincidentally, nearby to Spice House is a Korean Chinese fusion restaurant which is also delicious. Spice Zone is even better. Chicken angare was delicious. Spicy grilled boneless chicken with grilled onions. Awesome flavor and tender from marination and seasoning. The garlic and tomato flavor was superb. Vegetarian momo dumplings were pretty good. Spicy with chewy skin but not greasy or stale. Paneer makhani was the highlight of the meal. Delicious buttery tomato curry with pieces of equally delicious Indian cheese. It could be related to factors such as how hungry I was, what I hadn't had in awhile and what I was craving, but this was the best dish I've had in a long time eating out. Dipping with their excellent Naan bread or eating the curry with rice both worked great for this dish. Speaking of the Naan bread, what a great deal for super deliciousness. A nice sized order of garlic naan is only 2.95. Chili cheese naan is 3.95. Take note Papa Rich with your overpriced roti bread! The samosas were also awesome. Fresh and tasty and big. They were also an excellent value at only $5 for 2. Reminded me of piping hot samosas I would get from little shops in Manhattan after a long night of hanging out. So far, having moved to the part of Central NJ I'm at, I'm still searching for good pizza but Indian food has been a big hit. read more

My family and I had a lovely, lovely dinner on a Tuesday night. We we're celebrating. The place is also BYOB which is always a huge plus in my book! We tried the momos, both veggie and chicken, cauliflower Manchurian, noodles, eggplant, and naan. We also had a complimentary Raj kachori chaat. Everything was delicious. A lot of great flavors. It's Asian and indian fusion with some Nepali as well. The owners and managers are very nice and the space itself is bright with a lovely atmosphere. This is a great new edition to the central Jersey scene. You don't have to go to Oaktree for the flavors! read more

Come for a quick lunch. We ordered the chicken vindaloo, chicken curry home style, chicken angare, naan and roti. I asked for the vindaloo and curry more spicy and it was really delicious. Definitely coming back again! read more

You'd never know it from the outside, but this place has amazing food, with low prices. Loved it.

I had been going to this location for a few years now but recently their quality of food has gone down a lot. Last time i got methi malai mutter and it was gross with undercooked peas that i threw it away. Prior to that i got a super salty paneer makhani that i also threw away without eating. This time i got a very salty paneer makhani again and i decided to call them. A lady picked up the phone and said im sorry, next time ask for low salt, thank you for the feedback. "Sometimes it may happen " and was rushing me off the phone. This place is always empty so seems more like a takeout place. Well, I will no longer be getting take out from here as I'm not about to pay $20 in this economy for food that I'm gonna throw away when i get home. read more

Food was really Good and the staff is very friendly Highly recommended The owner said come anytime for private parties also the house chef will cook anything we prefer read more

I was craving for Biryani and looking for good restaurants since all other restaurants doesn't have the same quality anymore. And then I came across this new Spice House restaurant and wanted to give it a try. So, I orderd Methi Malai Mattar & Garlic Naan which was good. I also, ordered Goat Biryani and I was amazed with the quality. It was great, well marinated, enough meat and lots of flavor. I really liked the food; great quality and quantity. When I picked up the order, they can me Gulab Jamun as complimentary. It was very fresh and delicious. Thank you! I would definitely order again from Spice House! read more

Great Indian food and superior service. If there's something you want that's not on the menu, they can most likely make it happen, and make it happen really well. I'm not one to take advantage of a buffet, but theirs is top notch. The place is also really clean, including the bathrooms. Props to Sam for always making me feel at home when visiting for a meal. Give this place a shot, you won't be let down! read more

Really good food here. The chicken vindaloo was complex and spicy. The tandoori chicken was the best I ever had. Samosas also had many levels for spice. The place is appropriately named. Even the naan was top notch fresh and cooked perfectly. Resturant is immaculate. Sever was super nice. Will come back here from Bergen county. read more

WORST FOOD AND SERVICES EVER. After reading all these reviews, i went there today this is worst buffet place so far ive ever been. The food was way to cold, like completely cold, they had pao bhaji and chicken tandoori on stater, pao was like tosted in the morning and left it like that and tandoori was dead cold, when i checked, there was no burner under the food containers, when i informed the server he was like, sir actually there was only one burner under there now we put two. For the price of 15 all u get is one stater which is cold tandoori chicken and main course will be mutton rogan josh and tawa chicken. Biryani, paneer and daal. All the food was way too cold, except the naan Plz dont waste ur $15 per person meal here. Food Service Ambience BEFORE YOU START EATING ANYWHERE CHECK THE FOOD. read more

I ordered for pick up from GrubHub and the food was ready as soon as I walked in. I drove pass this place for a while and decided to finally give it a shot. Glad, I tried them out because I can finally hit the spot for my spicy craving. I did learn The restaurant is called SPICE house for a reason! The items that I had ordered: The Drums of Heaven: a bit oily but out of everything I ate this was the winner! There was an explosion of flavor in every bite! highly recommend this if you can handle the heat Chinese Bhel: great crunch and flavor. Towards the end it had more cabbage than I expected but that's me just nitpicking (still ate all of it ) Def got my craving in for indo-Chinese Noodles ! Gobi Manchurian: amazing taste on ginger and green onions. Not too spicy towards the heat but great on flavor. (Vegetarian) Samosas: 3 samosas in a serving ; they were on the small side however they are savory and dense! read more

This review is purely based on service as we did not get a chance to eat here after what happened. Last night Sept 7th 2019,we were on the neighborhood and found this place on yelp.We reached the place at around 9.30-9.40pm and waited for 5 min near the entrance hoping for someone to seat us or atleast greet us and let us know of there is any wait time or so.We could see a few empty tables.After no greeting whatsoever my husband went to the cashier and asked about the seating situation.While the cashier was trying to help us the most rude server ever came and told him that he will take care of us and we need to wait as there are a couple of large groups ahead of us.We were ok with the few min wait.Then a girl asked us to sit in the only 2 seat table available amidst of other full tables.Makes sense because they cannot seat the large groups in that table.The rude guy comes back again and says we cannot sit and dismisses the girl.She apologized for his behavior and asked us to give a couple of minutes.We were waiting and the rude guy comes back and asks us to sit at the table the girl suggested.When we were about to sit ,he says it will take atleast 30mins to take our order as he will seat the other large parties ,take their order and then only can take our order.This is the point where we lost it.I thought they take orders in the order of whoever is ready to order.He meant we had to sit idle till the large parties were seated and finalise what they want .We couldn't believe what happened and just got up and left the place.Never ever going back again and telling all our friends not to go there.Most rude service ever.Don't bother wasting your time going to this place.There are many other similar places which have better service and people who know what they are doing read more

I visited Spice House this afternoon with a friend from New York City who was shopping at the nearby Costco. The restaurant is conveniently located on Route 27, just less than a mile from I-287. The staff greeted us warmly and seated us immediately. We each ordered chicken tikka masala and naan. The tikka masala was served in private urns and arrived with sides of fluffy rice. The food was well prepared and delicious. The seating was comfortable and the room quite spacious. My friend and I chatted over our meals for nearly an hour. The manager dropped by our table and thanked us for our visit. I would recommend the place and hope to visit again soon. read more

Great spot with amazing food! Employees and location are of no complaint! Close to many convenient spots as well. I loved the Garlic Naan and Chicken Tikka Masala. The service was so-so but for the price and quality of food, I suggest you give this place a try! read more

Food was excellent - got the manchow soup, hot & sour soup, lamb seekh kabab, and chilli shrimp. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. Service was really good - our water glasses were constantly filled and the timing of the food being brought out was perfect. We got our soups, then our appetizers and finally the main course. It was made to our specifications as well - we wanted spicy and it was made just right. Flavorful as well as HOT! Will definitely be back :) read more

Looks to be under new ownership. The new owner is friendly and the service is good. The food was also very good. We enjoyed the Manchow soup and Butter chicken dish. read more

Slow and indifferent service during Saturday lunch. Cheesy inside. Food acceptable.

Found this on yelp when I searched for info Chinese. Not sure about other dishes, but I do Chinese is not upto mark. Seems like they cook fried rice in sane oil. My chicken fried rice had fish taste... Manchow soup was also not upto mark read more

I went there for a weekday lunch buffet. The foods are fresh and flavorful. I am not a vegetarian, but Veg Nigiri is amazingly good which has floral aroma. Meats in Lamb curry and Tandoori chicken are very tender. Other foods include Aloo Tikka Chana, Jeera rice, Daal Makahni, Noodle singapore, Chicken Hong Kong. Options are limited comparing to other buffets in Iselin area. The waiter is very friendly who showed how to make Aloo Tikka more flavorful. The restaurant is well setup, clean, and welcoming. read more

As someone who is a long time foodie and customer of Spice House. I have been extremely patient with this place because the food always made it worthwhile. Tonight however was the last straw for me. I have ordered from this place on multiple occasions but the last few times I have been put on hold for more than 10 minutes with no answer. One time I was even hung up on. I figured since the phone customer service wasn't great I tried to order online wellllllll that didn't work either due to some error that kept popping up. The food isn't always the thing that keeps me coming back, great customer service is also a big part of it, it's really a shame because the food isn't bad that's why I'm giving it 3 stars but I do not appreciate being disrespected as a paying customer if you're busy and can't take orders hire someone just for that even the busiest restaurants never put you on hold for that amount of time... trust me I know..even a place near by that is by farrrr more busy never puts me on hold but unfortunately they are closed on Tuesdays this place is no longer worth my time there are better far more superior Indian restaurants in this area who treat their customers much better Won't be coming back or ordering for that matter again THANK YOU......NEXT! read more

Wow. I love when you can stumble on something spectacular in an unassuming strip mall. I can only speak to the buffet but imagine the Indian dishes off the menu are equally as delicious. Nice assortment of veg and meat options. Standouts were the pani puri, veg jalfrezi, paneer makhani, biryani, mango pickle, and the desserts. Most yummy gajar halwa (grated carrot) and kheer. I recently purchased a VW at a dealer next door. Won't mind coming in from NY for service appointments. ;) read more

Food was delicious! I highly recommend eating at this restaurant if you are a Indo-Chinese/ Thai lover like myself. I ordered drums of heaven, chicken haka noodles, and chili chicken, basil chicken, and naan! Both chili chicken, and basil chicken came with a side rice as well. The portion size was large enough to share with 2 people. Everything came out warm and full of flavor. The staff was very attentive and the atmosphere was welcoming. Come try them out! read more

For starters this is the biggest samosa I've ever seen in life, literally!! I appreciate how flaky the crust was, although I found it to be a tad bit dry myself, BUT my wife loved it, so I won't knock the samosas. Next the chicken biryani was delicious, and even though we only got a medium spice level, it definitely packed a nice punch! I tried their tandoori chicken also, and it was banging. I'm a lil confused by how they cut up/ chopped the chicken, being that I ordered a half but received like 4 small pieces in the pan. So either this was a super small chicken or they left out the wing and shorted me on the breast maybe? No clue, but luckily the quality of taste and flavor made up for the lack of quantity. As for the garlic naan, by the time I got home it was cold, unlike the rest of the food. So this kind of sucked but it wasn't THAT bad being that it still had good flavor. Ultimately I will be returning and would most definitely suggest this to others. read more

Oh my gosh LOVE this place! The lunch buffet (we came during a weekday) is SO worth it! My husband says you can tell the quality of an Indian food place by the quality of their naan and... The garlic naan was fresh from the oven and absolutely perfect. Yum! Can find nothing bad to say about this place, other than the buffet selection doesn't have that many things (it's a small place) but you can order off the menu if there's something else that you want! read more

Staff and food was good. We went there for a quick bites and were fully satisfied with indo Chinese cuisine but momos very bad. we couldn't able to finish one plate of it and left all of it. We told them about it hoping they won't charge for it or as a courtesy offer us a complimentary drink but nothing. We don't think we will go there again. read more

Recently discovered this place. This is my second time here. Tried dishes both times from the North Indian side of menu. Absolutely delicious and amazing service. All the staff checked up on us multiple times to check on our experience. I'm more soft-spoken so they lowered the music volume and raised the temperature for us. Favorite dishes: Lamb Shahi Korma and Garlic Naan Unfortunately it was so good that I forgot to take pictures XD read more

I was craving Indian food and I saw that Spice House has great reviews, so I thought it was worth stopping by. I ordered takeout on their website because there's no outdoor seating here. After waiting an hour for food, standing outside, none of the staff came out to assist me, but have my food sitting on the counter behind a locked door for 20 minutes after my pickup time. I think they should be more aware about who is outside, instead of locking their doors, making it look like it's closed. I ordered the lamb biryani and I thought that it was dry all around, where both the lamb and the rice were dry. It was one note in flavor, where there was not enough spice and had a predominantly cumin flavor. The chicken tandoori was also dry, but it had a subtle hint of spice, which worked as a good accompaniment for the rice. Luckily, the two accompanying sauces brought the much needed moisture and flavor to my meal. I also ordered the bread basket, which gives three types of bread, but I was only given a ton of garlic naan. Maybe they were having an off day, but I've experienced better Indian food and I wouldn't come back. read more

This was without question some of the best Indian food I've had. I'm not talking about nyc east village, central kitchen Indian food. Have had some of the most interesting and flavorful in GeorgeTown Panang Malaysia . This place with its Naponise influences is just spot on in flavors and presentation. Cooked , prepared, and presented in such an inviting way. The staff are friendly and ready to explain and recommend their variety of flavorful dishes. Sam , our server was such a joy. We will be back very soon , as there are many more dishes to try. Highly recommended and certainly not to be missed. read more
