We tried the Bengali buffet at this place. The food is quite good and tasty. I would love to visit this place again. The dishes hit a nostalgia that I was craving for.

One of the best Indian Dishes I have ever. I ordered chicken chattinad and Daal Makhani and Garlic naan & (Lamb chop, they just introduced new in menu) all taste great. Great ambience and great customer service..will back with fiends soon . Thanks for such a great meal .

The mango lasse was excellent

This place I stumbled upon and read a review. I went in to try it at a time few were in the restaurant. The staff was very helpful and I took a recommendation for the main dish and a few add-ons. The garlic naan was amazing and his recommendation for Jasmine rice was spot on. The lamb dish didn't look as I thought it would be. But it was excellent and perfect paired with the naan and rice. Flavors are fresh and perfect for the dish. Not too spicy and full of flavor. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to try or already loves indian cuisine.

I've reviewed a lot of places on Yelp over the years and there are a lot of excellent places I've given five stars...but it's not often I wish I could give SIX stars. Wifey and I decided that we'd get dinner at Spice Route while were staying next door at the Hyatt House during some home renovations. Spice Route offers primarily Indian and Thai meals with a bit of additional Asian fusion with some of the meals. We love Thai and this place really looked interesting (I'm not a huge fan of Indian food, but there are definitely some meals I really enjoy). First off Spice Route offers 15% off for online pickup orders so a built in bonus for us. With that said, we wanted to order extra so I had some meals to bring to work the following week. We started with Shrimp dumplings and Sweet corn soup - Cream of sweet corn, cabbage, and carrots garnished with leaks. We also ordered: Hong Kong chicken - diced chicken with cashews, bell peppers, dry red chilies, and onions in teriyaki sauce Chili garlic fried rice - basmati fried rice with garlic and chili paste, tomato ketchup, and scallions Pad Thai - Medium flat rice noodles with onions, chives and tamarind sauce pad Thai has broccoli tofu carrots and baby corn The Hong Kong Chicken meal was one of the best take out orders I've ever had. Liked it so much I've ordered it 4-5 more times in subsequent visits. The first couple times we went here the service was slow...very slow...but it was at the height of COVID and they turned it around. I highly recommend Spice Route to anyone in the area. My only regret is I never took photos of the food.

I've seen the posts, read the reviews, reviewed the menu and finally paid my first visit to Spice Route melange for some take out. Spice Route ( https://www.spicerouteus.com/online-ordering ) located at 353 Smith Road offers ample parking making it just another great spot to grab lunch or dinner whether you are dinning in or taking out. Their menu offers a great variety of both Indian and Indo-Chinese fusions. For those not familiar with fusion foods, I Iike to describe it as taking two great foods cooking styles that are different, and merging food and cooking techniques into totally new menu items that are rather unique. A good comparison is for those who love chocolate and for those who love peanut butter, a peanut butter cup is a fusion of the two creating a unique and tasty snack. While I opted from the Indo-Chinese menu, there were many other items that also seemed really intriguing from the Indian menu as well. Will also say there is definitely some Thai influence as well, which is always a win in my book. For those not familiar with Indian food, the online menu offers a pretty good idea of what you may be ordering rather than just guessing what you may be getting. For lunch, I ordered the Tom Yum Soup (Thai hot 'n sour soup, fresh vegetables, and lemon grass) as well as the Basil Ginger Chicken (Sliced chicken with bell pepper, onion, ginger & basil in house special basil sauce.) Both items were super tasty and I had more than enough for another meal. We ordered online which added a 15% off coupon which is always a win to save some money. The order was ready as promised and pickup was a breeze. Finding another great restaurant only makes ordering future meals difficult in that deciding where to go is only that much more difficult. While I did not scope out the lunch buffet, they did advertise on a lunch buffet which may very well be a future review. With that a huge thanks to Spice Route for a great lunch. If you are looking for something different this weekend, this is something worse considering.

Chinese dishes were great... I was not quite sure about why there is a word Melange in the restaurant name and asked the manager. As per him "In 2017, the owners of Spice Route, a popular Indian restaurant in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, took over the restaurant formerly known as Melange in Parsippany so the addition of "by Spice Route" to the restaurant's name." We were there on holiday week with a few colleagues. It was quite empty, hardly 2-3 tables occupied by patrons. The ambiance was fair. We got the table and settled in, the server was courteous and she took care of us very well. Coming to food, In appetizers, they had Pakora, Baby corn, Samosa in ve option, and in Non-veg - Chicken chili & Tandoori chicken Entrees- ( apart from Bread and Rice) Veg - Kadai paneer, Some Thai dish, Dal makhani Non-veg - Chicken tikka, lamb curry, and some Thai chicken dish Gulab Jamun, Rice pudding, and chocolate moose was in deserts. I liked the samosa and chicken chilly. It was really great. Rest Dishes- not lagging with their counterparts. the buffet was only for $12+tax so its win-win ;)

Cauliflower Manchurian

I have had Indochinese food from Melange twice. The first was in person a few years ago, and the second was yesterday using UberEats delivery. On first impression, the restaurant is elegant with ample seating and parking. On a Friday at 7 PM there was not a single soul in sight, but they seemed to have many delivery orders coming in. I imagine it gets packed closer to 8 or 9 PM (especially considering that most Indians eat very late). Food was packed very well. Order came with sauces, as well as napkins/fork/spoon/knife. Entrees were piping hot and fresh. All the dishes I ordered were fantastic - cauliflower manchurian, Hakka noodles veg, and chicken 65. It was actually much better tasting than what I remember. During my first dine in experience, I considered the food to be sort of average for the area. Yesterday's food was very delicious, however, and I believe it is a solid spot for Indochinese in the Parsippany area. This restaurant is right on my way back home from work, so I imagine I will be placing many more to go orders in the future. :)

Saag Chicken
Marcelle M.

Stopped by 6pm on a Saturday the restaurant was empty but during our visit 2 tables were filled and a few delivery app pickups. Food was ok - ordered the naan, roti, saag Chicken and Hakka noodles. Service was fine but seemed a bit understaffed the host was also the only waiter in the restaurant, but service was quick.

Who knew that you could pay $32.99 a person for amazing sushi, sashimi, deluxe signature rolls…read moreamong other classics like Shrimp Tempura, an incredible Spicy Crab & Seaweed Salad along with all of dumplings, teriyaki dishes etc etc. BYOB saves a ton and the place takes reservations! The staff is fast and attentive and the theme / atmosphere is clean and authentic. Last table we had was Osaka inspired. We used to go to our local sushi place which was good. But each specialty roll cost between $17.00 and $19.99. 4 rolls and an app costs more than Miga - where you get everything you would want and more. The desert is also included with a few great options including my favorite- green tea ice cream. Highly recommend. Make reservations as it gets really packed. Enjoy!

Tried takeout and ordered a house salad, edamame, shrimp tempura roll, and the Denville King roll…read more The salad was fresh and enjoyable, but the edamame was a bit underwhelming and could've used more salt for flavor. The shrimp tempura roll wasn't as warm as expected, which took away from it a bit. I placed an online order and arrived a few minutes after they opened doors. They must have made in early in advance. On the positive side, the Denville King roll was definitely the standout! Really delicious and worth ordering again. Overall, a solid experience. I'd come back and try the all-you-can-eat menu next time to see how it compares!

And boy were we wrong. The staff and service were perfect they were very attentive. We ordered the chicken and shrimp hibachi. From other spots I've been to they usually give the clear soup and the salad with the wonderful carrot ginger dressing but for whatever reason this spot only gives soup. As for the hibachi chef he was very dull. Did not keep the table lively at all. Usually we get food thrown in our mouths or a sake stream to keep up with but none of that happened. I will say it was me and my partner and a man and his younger daughter so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since it was not exactly appropriate for the child. But otherwise it was just someone cooking in front of us. No show. As for the food it was quite bland. As you can see in the picture the noodles and rice barely have any color. I was expecting some "fry" to my fried rice and noodles. Maybe I am just spoiled by my regular spots.
