Loved the variety in the lunch buffet! There was pani puri, samosa, and hakka noodles in the fast food section. I made chaat out of pani puri as they had all the chutneys and veg raita as well--it was delicious. The hakka noodles were yummy too! I'm a vegetarian, and in the main course vegetarian options, I really enjoyed the daal tadka and paneer bhurji along with rice and naan. I also love their dum aloo (during A La Carte) --it's always great. The flavors are very authentic and everything tastes fresh and well prepared. There are plenty of vegetarian options, which I really appreciate. The overall spread is quite satisfying and nicely balanced. The place has a good vibe, and the service is friendly and attentive. Overall, the food is always great and never disappoints! read more

It's right next to UCF Started out with the vegetable Pokora the. I had the paneer makhani -- and the garlic naan. The makhani was a good serving but they really gave me alot of rice which was great . I requested the making to be Indian hot and boy they really did it. had to drink two mango lassiss The place is large, plenty of seating -- could be both casual and romantic. The service was real quick, even though there were so many people read more

Visiting for dinner. The ambiance is slightly more elegant as they dress up their tables with linen and add a touch of light. They offer an extensive menu with vegetarian options as well as fish, seafood, chicken and lamb. We ordered, as our appetizer, one of our favorites the vegetable samosas and they delivered! They are so good; packed with generous, flavorful filling. The dough is fried to perfection. My husband ordered the chicken korma- delicate sauce with tomato, spices, cream and almonds. I prefer the lamb korma. The perfect companion- perfectly cooked basmati rice. And we ordered garlic naan which comes out warm with just the perfect garlic amount. Every comes out promptly and all is served at the right temperature and desired heat/spice. The lamb is tender and the chicken is also very good, according to my husband. There is enough for lunch the next day. Service is friendly, and prompt. I will keep coming back! read more

Spice is ironically named. I went for the lunch buffet, and nothing was spicy. The biryani, which traditionally packs a punch, had zero kick to it. I was disappointed to be honest. Also most of the chicken dishes were saucy on the outside but dry on the inside. And the naan was dry and flavorless. If you're unsure about trying Indian, or don't like strong flavors, this might be a good way to dip your toe in the water. Maybe the buffet is bland compared to the regular menu. I'll never know. read more

Fantastic spices. The food was spectacular. Unfortunately my images disappeared due to my step daughter. Try this restaurant out. You will be amazed read more

Love this place. We ordered the butter chicken along with the Chicken Vindaloo and both were amazing. If you want a high spice level this place will give it to you, even medium was really spicy (this is a good thing for us). The Samosas weren't anything special but weren't bad. The mango lassis were great and so was the Naan. The service was great they even gave us extra rice for our leftovers. Can't wait to come back here. read more

This is our go to Indian takeout. Always good, always predictable. My only suggestion is the mild is sometimes too hot!

Ok so let me start by saying I prefer North Indian cuisine and that my fav spot is hard to beat in SoCal. That said this spot is a strong 3, naan is a 4 and Pilaf Rice is a 2 and Tikka Masala chicken is a 3ish. The Tikka Masala curry is more tomatoe-y than what I'm used to. The service is a 5++! Fantastic people and so so nice! Food came super fast at 6pm on a Friday night. Parking is easy as it's in a plaza. Very close to UCF and a better food option in the area. I'd come back if in the area for sure. read more

On a Sunday night the restaurant was nearly empty so we enjoyed quick service. To start, we received a complimentary appetizer something like fried/toasted rice and spices (much like a light and crispy rice chip) served with 3 delicious sauces. We also ordered a meat appetizer with chicken cooked various ways and it was simply okay. It tasted good but wasn't something I'd order again. Onto the mains, I ordered chicken vindaloo and my bf got lamb korma. My sauce felt very rich with a good amount of spice, and it came with a decent amount of chicken. Only complaint is some bits of chicken breast were pretty dry-- either smaller cubes or chicken thighs instead would've been even more delicious. As for the lamb korma-- I found myself wishing I'd ordered that dish! It was so creamy and flavorful and wonderfully nutty because of the cashews. The tender lamb also didn't taste gamey to me at all which is why I usually don't order it. Also, rice is unlimited. Some places charge for extra sides! Overall I enjoyed the visit and would like to come back and try the buffet at some point. read more

3rd time here. Man. I'm gonna be spending a ton of my money here. Same wonderful earthy smell coming in. Kind staff. Player 2 and I brought our daughter here and she fell in love with the butter chicken. Chicken vindaloo medium spice level and butter chicken mild spice level tonight with garlic naan bread. Oh! Vegetable samosa for appetizer. Hot dang this is good. Ok Vindaloo is more tomato ish. Some lemon maybe? Vinegar? Definitely more spice. The butter chicken...bruh. Rich, earthy, curry flavor. Smooth. Damn it was good. Garlic naan is over the top. On their online menu I saw something called chile naan where the naan has spicy green chilies in it. It isn't on the regular menu so I asked about it and they have it. . Now I have an excuse to come back. So happy with this place man. read more

A solid buffet with all the standard offerings you'd expect. Their specialty, and the best thing at the buffet, is their chili chicken which is sort of a spicy version of Chinese orange chicken. Deep fried chicken with chili and green peppers and onions. Great with rice and naan. Everything else is standard buffet quality. We've never been for dinner. The dining room is mostly booths. Nothing fancy. And the service is attentive. Definitely worth many visits to sate your Indian cravings! read more

Spice Indian Grill Orlando - Chili Chicken - Indian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Not a lot of great Inidan options in Orlando, but this one is a good value for the buffet. Nice variety of food - weekend is a little better than during the week - but all in all very tasty. Pakora (during the week) was a bit overcooked and a bit lacking in traditional spice, and the Tandoori chicken was also overcooked. The weekend samosas - no pakora - and Tandoori were excellent. I have not tried a la carte dining, but would go back for the buffet. read more

The people were nice. But honestly this place is the worst Indian food I've ever had. The lunch buffet tikka masala wasn't creamy at all. The naan was burnt. The chutneys were watered down. Go somewhere else local that isn't by the university. read more

Spice grill is fantastic. We all enjoyed everything (chicken tika butter chicken) we ordered. Service was speedy and I will be going back

Trekked all the way out to UCF to see my brother and I'm always surprised at how many new spots are popping up there now. But I didn't have time for naan of that drama, I needed Indian and I had a samosa good time... Ok I'll stop ;) First off, any place that serves fee papadum crackers when you sit.down deserves top marks. Then I got the samosa chat ($8), garlic naan ($4) and dum aloo ($14). Try Spice, it's nice ;) read more

I've dined in a while back but ordered takeout most recently. This last order included my staple favorite vegetarian dish, Malai Kofta. I generally gauge how much I like an Indian place by this dish. Unfortunately it fell short for me as the sauce was very bland and the order only included 2 mushy veggie balls. I also order butter chicken and cheese naan thankfully because those were tasty at least. I can't say I'd go out of my way to eat there again. read more

Some of the best Indian you can find near UCF. the food is amazing quality and they actually cater the spice level to the customer. This makes this Indian restaurant approachable to newcomers but still great to people more okay with spice. It's also super fun and homely inside the restaurant. I highly recommend this place! read more

Ordered takeout of their Saag Paneer, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan and Lachcha Paratha. The curries, both Saag Paneer and Butter Chicken, we're beyond impressive and some of the best I've had from an Indian Restaurant. Opted for "hot" on the spice levels of the curries and that hit the right spot with respect to the balance between spice and taste and enjoyability. The breads were as expected but I do believe they would've been better to be had at the restaurant in person. It's always a gamble ordering freshly prepared naan and paratha for takeout. The flavor was there but the freshness had depleted a bit by the time our food arrived home. So all benefit of the doubt given here. The food was great and would most definitely order from here again when we're craving Indian Curry next. read more

We love their buffet, especially on Christmas Day! Everything is fresh and perfectly spiced. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

(7/1/2023) got a recommendation for Spice Indian Grill for subcontinent cuisine from a southeast Asian coworker. The food at this place appears to be primarily Pakistani in preparation. I haven't seen a buffet since the COVID years, it was a welcome surprise to see one here, and super reasonable at $14.00 per person AUCE. It's not a very large buffet, but there are plenty of very tasty dishes. I stuck to my faves, Yellow Dal Fry (buttery, savory), Mattar Paneer, Vegetable Biryani, Hakka Noodles (more heat than expected), Tandoori Chicken, Chilli Chicken (sweet, tender). Desserts were a thin kheer (rice not quite tender), Gulab Jamon scented with rose water, and a hot, watery, chai. Service appears to be very nice, introverted family members, maybe the kids of a mom and pop shop. Clientele mostly SE Asian, families, and older couples, a good sign for authenticity. read more

The only Indian restaurant on the east side of the city. Tabla? Have you seen how ridiculous their prices are? Ahmed? Have you tasted their food? In an area starving for culinary attention, Spice carries more than its weight. I might be a little biased because they take good care of my special requests and always make sure I'm happy. Favorites are Kadai anything, Saag anything and Salmon Tikka. Lamb is always cooked very tender, a rare find in my travels. What little tandoor I've had has been unremarkable because it's not my thing, and Malai Salmon packs a punch of salt. Madras is good, but I prefer Kadai when I want savory rather than tomato-dairy. read more

Love the Chana Masala. Have only ever ordered to go, but have had smooth process and quick pick ups.

It's been a while since I've dined here and with Tandoori now closed, this is now the closest Indian restaurant to me. Sadly, this visit was disappointing. It was already late (7:30ish) and only a few tables in the restaurant were occupied. After being seated, the waiter took about 15 minutes before he came to take the order. He tried the "what would you like to drink?" trick but I just started ordering. To paraphrase another Yelp! friend, please don't try and impress me with not writing anything down. Especially when making Vegan adjustments to the dishes. With different spice levels in different dishes, he totally was lost and he did get some items completely wrong. Get a pad and paper and write it down, dude! (I'll let you guess what happened). They do have vegan options, but nothing is marked so you do have to ask about every dish. Vegetarian options are easier to figure out on your own. The Gobi Manchurian was crispy and delicious, but at $10, it was a very small order. They Yellow Dal Fry (lentil) was totally bland and had no spice to it at all, even though I said medium (waiter told me I ordered it mild but I totally did not). The Saag Paneer was spicy when it should have been mild. A complete reversal of how the dishes were ordered. And I have no confidence that any vegan adjustments were made. For a restaurant with 3-4 tables, service was absolutely terrible. It took about 10 minutes for a water refill. He didn't stop back to ask how anything was. It took forever to check out. Just terrible service from time to order, messing up the order, and getting the heck out of there. Also, although I'm not offended, they may want to rethink what movies they are playing on the television sets. Someone else may not find it appropriate for all diners. read more

Looking for a good Indian restaurant in East Orlando we found this one on Yelp. It's located in a strip mall. The interior has both booths and tables, and two tv screens that show Indian movies. The server who brought us water couldn't smile but our main server was kind and attentive. They were able to make a vegan dish by substituting the cream in the curry with coconut. The food came out nice and hot. The medium spicy wasn't very spicy so we asked for additional hot sauce. Food was enjoyable, good, not great. In my vegetable dish there were a few hard pieces and the pithy ends of the beans. read more

We order from Spice Grill regularly. This last time, however, some of the food was inedible. The onion bhaji was burnt to a crisp; the samosas were soaked in oil; we received no rice for two of our orders. Lamb biryani was fine. Food used to be excellent but has steadily gone down hill. We won't be ordering from here again, unfortunately read more

Food is good and the only indian food I have found in the county that warrants positive praise. Nice atmosphere. The menu has a bit of fusion between regions of Indian cuisine so a dish on the menu here may be different then you are used to having elsewhere but over all it is a welcome difference on the plates I have sampled read more

I didn't go into the restaurant so I cannot speak on the service or interior. Ordered spice Indian grill through Uber eats. Food took awhile to arrive for a distance of 3 miles, but that is not the restaurants fault. The items were well packaged and sealed in great packaging. Very pleased. I ordered the garlic Naan, keema samosa, molai kofta, and tandoori chicken. Everything was very good. The tandoori chicken lacked flavor but was cooked well. My favorite was the keema samosa which was cooked to perfection. Loved the sauces and the great attention to detail. I imagine one might have a different experience in the restaurant. The molai kofta was flavorful and creamy with just the right amount of heat. Rice was cooked well. Overall very good food. Would order again just not the chicken. read more

This place is AMAZING. I'm Indian and I totally approve :) I ordered the chicken tikka masala with medium spice and it wasn't overly spicy. It was perfect from the flavor, texture of the chicken, and portion size. My boyfriend ordered the tandoori platter with hot spice (I had to talk him down from extra hot cause Indians don't play with their spice) and he was glad I talked him down, lol. The platter came out sizzling and everything was absolutely perfect. I had to order the rasmalai cause that's one of my favorite Indian sweets and it was the best I've ever had. This is definitely the best local Indian food and I will definitely return. read more

Service was excellent. Pitcher of cold water always on table and refilled as needed. Ordered vegetable samosa and a shrimp dish for appetizers. Samosa crust thin and flaky and stuffed with tasty mix. Shrimp could have been bigger and more tender but the sauce was amazing. Main dish of chicken tika made in tandoori oven was best ever. The seasoning on the chicken fantastic and so tasty and the chicken cooked perfectly. We also had the chicken tiki marsala with great sauce and also perfectly cooked chicken. An onion naan was also tasty. Even though we didn't try it they now have an add menu with south India food. Will definitely try it next time. read more

I am by no means an expert on Indian cuisine. My 1st introduction was the Food Network. I have had the good pleasure of eating at a couple of Indian restaurants, the 1st was with a good Indian friend who walked me through some dishes, their flavors and spices. And I love it. This Dominican York, when craving comfort, aside for my usual, I crave chicken tikka masala, basmati rice, garlic nan & samosas. Yelp lead me to Spice Indian Grill, 17min from home. I did not call ahead because I wanted tp see the place before ordering. It is located inside a strip mall, anchored by Chop salad, 2 doors down from Sus Hi Eat Station. There is a sign outside indicating times for lunch & dinner buffet, not sure if it's operational, you know with covid and all. It is has a nicely sized place, hostess station to the right, cooking directly on front with a bar top. I ordered my afore mentioned faves, 22 min wait, tightly packaged food and I was on my way. Honestly while I was unpacking my food, my mouth watered. The aroma was that awesome. The mild chikken tikka masala is beautiful, the color, the flavor, creamy, delicious. The basmati was warm & fluffy. The vegetable samosa was the best I've ever had, huge, no skimping on the delicious filling, flavorful & sooo good. The garlic nan was the only thing that I have had better but only flavor wise, because it was big & fluffy, I just would have loved a more garlic flavor. Spice is a win in my book! read more

Hello humans- This time around, I ended up near Orlando, FL. After work, i went to visit a close friend who lives in orlando. Our plan was to go to Arcade Monsters (which was a pretty cool spot, look it up) but we decided to get dinner beforehand. Before I get to the food- the service was extremely slow here. There was only one other couple sitting down to eat, but for some reason, things were going very slow. I got one of the vegetarian dishes and it was OK. Nothing really special to it and it was supposed to come with a side of rice, but it never came. The flavor was mediocre. I also asked if they could substitute the potatoes for cauliflower, and he told me no because they are too busy. Maybe I was missing something, but there was literally just my friend and I, and then another couple sitting down. The naan bread was also just OK. I ordered the garlic naan and it barely had any garlic on it. My friend got the cheese naan and it only came with 3 pieces while mine came with 5. Not sure how that works. Anyway, I probably would not come back here. It was just convenient because it was close to Arcade Monsters. read more
