Try it out. The ambiance is okay, the service is friendly and the food is pretty good. Regarding the menu I'd lean to the to the Indian side first, then Indo-Chinese, and then Thai side of the menu. Our Pad Thai was a bit saucy, and the noddles were a bit undercooked, but to be fair rice noodles get mushy quickly so it's forgivable. The Hakka noodles and gobi Manchuria were great. The steamed dumplings also were remarkable. read more

We took my dad here to celebrate his 84th birthday. The food was delicious and the ambiance of the restaurant is inviting. We ordered a whole chocolate cake - OMG (melt in your mouth! Thank you for making this a wonderful celebration! read more

I didn't take any photos this time however, I had the Hakka noodles and they were outstanding and also the onion kulcha which was terrific. Service was a little bit slower tonight, but the food is always outstanding, and we will always come back. read more

I'll start by saying It's hard to judge fairly as all I ordered was the hot and Sour soup to go. This was by far the worst soup I have ever had. It was like spicy beef broth and soy sauce with a few shriveled up pieces of tofu and some shredded carrots that was it. If they didn't have the soup made they should have told me I would have went next door to the Chinese buffet and got it to go and probably at half the price. I'm honestly scared to go back which is a shame as I love Indian cuisine. I would have given it one star but I didn't try anything else so I threw the extra one in. But it was EXTREMELY distasteful. And to others - Please read the reviews for a restaurant that are not accepted as they are helpful! (I think that's cheating Yelp) read more

We were looking for Chinese food, but once inside Indian food was all they served. The food was ok but very spicy. The restaurant was set up beautifully and we ate in the train car which was nice. The service was good. The only problem was that it advertised as Chinese and Indian but did not have anything on the menu as far as Chinese food. read more

I really enjoy Indian restaurants. This one seems like a pretty good place. I have only tried their food once but it was very tasty.

Enjoy their food always fresh yumm I found them about a year ago, usually order chiken Tika masala it never fails read more

Exceptional food, pretty decor. I had the chicken korma, spicing was complex and it was fully satisfying. my husband had he lamb vindaloo and he was happy with the heat and complexity of the dish. I would 100% come here again. Loved the servers too! read more

The brokees that work the front register are rude. Zero courtesy or thanks. This is why they're in a strip mall and failing. Won't be back.

The restaurant was clean and presentable, service was very slow, and definitely not exactly friendly. Beware, this place will nickel and dime you. They do charge additionally for the rice that should come with meal. This is not for extra rice, this is for the side order that is supposed to accompany any of their saucy dishes. It makes absolutely no sense seeing that all meals cost of about $15. I decided that today I will not be nickel and dimed. I will not be back. read more

We dined here while on vacation. I was hoping to have a good experience, but I'm sorry to say we didn't. I appreciated that we were seated within a few minutes of arriving. However, despite placing our order and having it repeated back, the order was not accurate. Nothing is worse than having another person in your group's food order forgotten. By the time it came out, we were ready to leave. The taste of the food needs improvement. Aside from the pineapple fried rice and chicken fried rice, everything else was less than satisfactory. Perhaps they should consider reducing the items on the menu and focusing on good, quality dishes. My shrimp pad Thai was brought to me without shrimp. I notified the waitstaff. It was returned to me with more sauce and tasted sweet. This was the last straw. All in all, I was such a disappointing meal. I feel it to be one of the worst. I suggest that other potential diners go elsewhere. It spoiled my appetite to say the least. I would not recommend Spice Route to others. Go another route! read more

After reading reviews online I was excited to give this place a shot. The food was awesome I whole heartedly recommend the calamari as it blew me away. The staff were all beyond friendly and had a wonderful sense of humor. The restaurant itself is a nice quiet spot with wonderful music and colorful decor. I went on a rainy day and I cannot emphasize how electric the vibes were. read more

I loved this place. Diverse menu. Great prices. Fast delivery. I have ordered from them several times.

This is the best authentic Indian food I've had in a very long time. Who knew that a restaurant like this existed in the Poconos! I only tried 4 of the Indian dishes but they were probably the best I've had in years. This place is a must! Be prepared for your mouth to be on but in a good way. Highly rexo read more

Spice Route Indian Cuisine/BYOB - Garlic naan, peppery chicken appetizer, chicken rolls masala and a mostly eaten samosa. SOOOO GOOD! - Indian Near Me - Bartonsville, Pennsylvania

Best Indian food I've ever eaten. I've probably eaten at at least 30 establishments over the last 30 years and lots of them have been fantastic, but this one stands out in my mind as the best. I keep thinking about the meal. We stopped at this plaza, to charge our vehicle on our way to upstate New York. What a pleasant surprise. read more

Friends from out of stated my wife and I loved this place. During covid only 4 tables were occupied. Food was terrific. Staff VERY helpful and accommodating Have had take out 5 - 6 times since eat in. Never disappointed. Price a little on high side but well worth it read more

Love the fried rice here. They are generous and kind. They really know how to please their customers. Staff is also attentive and friendly.

Excellent Indian cuisine with outstanding wait service. Regardless of what Indian dishes I purchase, the food is always fresh and delicious, and their sauces are amazing. I have had the pleasure of eating at fine Indian restaurants in New York that do not compare to Spice Route. Finally, the portions are tremendous and the prices are wonderful. To say Spice Route gets everything right is an understatement. read more

Food here is great and I love the spice. Everything comes out nice and hot. Naan bread is fresh and nice. This place keeps me filled up and bringing home leftovers. read more

Absolutely amazing Indian food. As an Indian from NYC, I find it very hard to find good quality Indian food and Spice Route knocks it out of the water. Favorites were Achari Paneer, Malai chicken, goat curry, and Hakka noodles. You can't go wrong with anything. Umesh was a great server! read more

Very friendly staff, excellent food. I had the chicken tikka masala which was so flavorful and the right amount of heat. My dining companion had the butter chicken, again excellent. And for dessert, we had the moong daal halwa. What a surprise. Creamy sweet lentils with a touch of cardamom and a little crunch from pistachio. I haven't seen that on a menu anywhere else. I wish I lived closer so I could get more often. read more

Food is delicious every time. Not one time have I ordered the food & it was wrong or not tasty. Every-time I go in to eat I have to chat with the people next to me on how good it is. Will be ordering next week as I order once a week or try to prices are also amazing & affordable. read more

Very good service and food. A nice gem in the poconos....highly recommend for Indian food

Fantastic service Fantastic food Fantastic ambience As an Indian, I was so pleased to be comforted with authentic cooking after a long day out in Poconos We tried the hakka noodles, lotus root stem, palak paneer, dal tadka, bhindi masala and all of these dishes felt like we were eating them in India! Some of the best Indian food I've had in the states Hope to be back soon read more

My family and I were on vacation and were searching for "quality Asian" food. Well we found all of the above: Indian, Chinese and Thai wrapped into one. I am writing to give this restaurant a 5 star rating across several categories: cuisine, service, and ambience. We began with appetizers: Manchurian Cauliflower, Veggie Samosas, Lentil soup and Veggie dumplings. Next, we feasted on Chicken Vindaloo, Lamb Rojash, and Curried Goat. We completed our soiree with deserts: Mango Ice Cream, and Mango Cheesecake. We were greeted and attended to by one of the owners and served by two courteous gentlemen. We not only enjoyed the variety, the presentation, and taste of the food; the ambience too was colorful, well lit, and the artwork was much appreciated. We were pleased to have discovered this Pocono treasure and encourage others to try it as well. read more

Vey good ambiance and excellent food. The service was great, Umesh was really good. A bit pricey but overall good quality and quantity of food. read more

This place has the best food around. The other Indian places pale in comparison Everything is always fresh and delicious There are no wrong choices so whatever you're feeling like go for it. read more

I love the food! Best Biriyani. Umesh was great and respectful to my family's needs. Will go back.

Excellent food and service Owner was kind enough to offer delivery to location which was bit farther. Food was awesome. read more

Used to love Spit Route when it was in its previous location across from the theater. I thought they went downhill, but the original owner told me that they'd moved to Stroudsburg PA and that someone ELSE bought the old location. Well, that would explain the drop in quality. The name was similar, but the quality was different. ANYWAY, I made a choice to visit the new location in Stroudsburg (BARTONSVILLE to be accurate). Wife & I ordered LAMB dishes. It was take-out. Brought it home. Guess what? They were both made with BEEF! %&@×! I called politely and mentioned the issue. Guy who answered, knew my order. He insisted that they used lamb. I said no, this wasn't lamb. *He insisted otherwise. I wasn't interested in arguing. There's a distinct difference between lamb and beef. Maybe they were OUT of LAMB?? Still, IF that was true, I would have accepted BEEF as a substitute. It's a great good mood with food when you're told TRUTH about BEEF vs. LAMB. STILL, I would go back. Think we'll stop in just perhaps for 2 LAMB appetizers. This time to STAY, not TAKE-out. That way, if they try to slip us BEEF instead, it'll get sent B-A-A-A-A-ck. Baa-Ram-Ewe! What would you do? I've always known lamb to taste like lamb, and beef to taste like beef. I've never eaten beef and found that it tasted like lamb. {In addition: This might help people when they find that typical lamb "flavor" is missing!} "What Causes The Gamey Taste? The gamey taste in lamb is caused by a compound called geosmin, produced by bacteria living in the soil. The compound is more likely to be present in lamb raised on pasture, as the lamb is more likely to consume soil and plants that contain the bacteria." read more

This place has the closest Indian taste , I have had in upstate New York. The butter chicken is authentic to a T. Recommended dishes : Cauliflower Manchurian, Chicken Pepper Fry for starters. Butter Chicken and malai Kofta for the main course and you can finish with a scrumptious Ras malai. read more

Food is ok. Watch out for your bill, they use a hand held device to take orders and for you to pay for your bill. they have an 18% gratuity already added in. when they scan your card they hold device for your to confirm the charge and buttons suggest you add a tip. If you do you are adding a tip on top of the bill with the 18% already added. Not ethical read more

Amazing food.Great service!!! We were at party of 28 and the food was delivered to our location very prompltly.The taste was superbb!!! Highly recommend Chicken Tikka and kadhai paneer.. read more

Inside of a strip mall, this place actually is very nice on the inside. Large parking lot but busy, was seated quickly, server was kind of quiet but helpful in explaining certain dishes we were not as familiar with. Food was made quickly and was very good! We are relatively new to Indian cuisine but compared to the handful of other places we have tried, this place is very good in our opinion. Priced more like a restaurant, portions are slightly smaller than anticipated but tasted overall good. read more

Amazing menu, pretty much anything you may want but with a unique twist that's absolutely worth trying and going back too Had the chana masala, great blend of flavor and spices that you should try. Tandoori chicken was right on the mark, gobi Manchurian was not too spicy and incredible in flavor. And don't skip out on the garlic naan ! read more

Spice Route Indian Cuisine/BYOB - Indian Near Me - Bartonsville, Pennsylvania

A solid 4-stars! My partner and I were celebrating his birthday with a house in the Poconos. We stopped at Spice Route for lunch. We wanted a light meal, probably impossible with Indian food because we both love it so much. We ordered three appetizers The wings gobi Manchurian samosa chaat The gobi Manchurian was amazing. I would highly recommend this dish. The flavors and crunchiness is excellent. The samosa chat waas also really tasty. I wish they'd put some extra yogurt and tamarind sauce on top. It's all mixed in. The wings were awesome, but a little overboard with the batter. You realize you're only eating batter at some points. Fresh hot chicken wings were yummy. Overall, a gem in the area. I'd go for it! read more

If you say indian. This is the spot. Zero regrets. Everything is authentic all the way from Appetizers Entree deserts juices breads everything read more

Spice Route in my opinion is the best Indian restaurant in the area. The food is always fresh, and the service can't be beat. There are so many amazing things to order from the menu, and I'm never unhappy with my meal. The food is a flavor explosion, and the chefs will adjust the spice level to your preference. The restaurant can get pretty busy with locals and tourists on the weekends so take out is a great option, and if you use the Spice Route app you can save on your order. read more
