We went back for dinner for New Year's Eve, this time was a much better experience. We arrived at 6pm, before the crowd hit. Customer service was much better. Our dishes were delicious as usual, however because of the better customer service we received this time it made the experience enjoyable. We definitely will be back.

While the food was pretty good, our service was very very slow. The music was too loud so we could not hear each other talk. They brought a dessert cake to us but the dish was so hot one member of our party burned his hand. Overall, I would not recommend this place or go back.

This is hands down one of the best Indian restaurant in OC and perhaps in the State of California. The restaurant is modern, clean and very spacious and I love the open kitchen concept here. Regarding the food we loved the Lamb Chops which are so tasty, the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Samosa's. Their different option of Naan bread is also nice and it blends well with the food. Service here is top notch and I can't wait to come back. Enjoy and Bon Appetit.

SOYA CHAAP

Food is amazing and quick service . I did a uber eat order and soya chaap was amazing . Super soft and the gravy on top was great. Would love to visit once to check out other dishes

DHABHA CHICKEN CURRY with Raina and Chili Garlic Naan
Boris M.

We visited Spice Social on a Friday evening. There is ample parking on the side streets. The ambiance of the place is inviting, offering lots of private booths that can also accommodate bigger parties. We went for the Spice Mule (Indian spices, ginger beer, vodka), Dhabha chicken curry, raita, chilli garlic naan, and their kesar kulfi. We requested extra spicy. Unfortunately, even though the main was spicy, it was mainly due to extra chili powder that was not roasted, so the resulting curry did not have the expected pleasant cohesiveness. The raita and the kulfi were good; the naan did not come from a tandoori oven. Service was slow despite the restaurant being not very busy. Fullerton and the surrounding areas have a number of outstanding Indian restaurants, so rather than coming back to Spice Social, we will probably explore one of those the next time we crave Indian food.

MIX TANDOORI PLATTER
Anusha B.

Came in on a busy Saturday night. Service can be a bit on the slower side which can be frustrating at first, but the food is so amazing, you forget all about it! I think they happened to be short staffed at the time of our visit. The restaurant has moderate parking in the back and is well decorated. It's a little bit of a smaller space with an open kitchen, so without open doors can get a bit stuffy. Got the mix tandoori platter and was so surprised at how tender every piece of meat was! The portions are really big too and can feed at least 5 people! Cannot wait to come back to try more of their tandoori items!

Pros: Clean, open, modern space. Lively atmosphere. Very friendly accommodating staff. Delicious food. Several big screen TVs. Small patio in the back. Spacious, pristine restrooms. Cons: none We were looking to try a new place in downtown Fullerton, we stumbled across Spice Social. And we're very happy that we did. Not only was the chicken tikka masala full of spice and the chili garlic naan fluffy yumminess, but we really enjoyed watching the music videos that were Bollywood/American pop music mashups (lots of Justin Bieber). The best part of our lunch experience was that the restaurant owner, Mr. Singh, dropped by our table to thank us for coming to his restaurant and to make sure we were 100% happy. Very nice personal touch. We're looking forward to coming to Spice Social again!

My wife loves Indian food and it has become tradition that I take her to get Indian food for her birthday. Without fail this time birthday came around and I got a great recommendation from coworker and we tried this place. Was pleasantly surprised place is big and clean very neat accommodates both small and large parties. Service was great and friendly games were showing music was going vibe was cool. The food was great my wife ordered several dishes I enjoyed them all the shrimp and samosas were my favorite. There's street parking as well as parking in the back. Good location good food great service.

SAMOSA
Randi B.

I have been twice now, and the lesson i've learned is this is not a good spot for lunch if you have any sort of time constraint. The first time I came with my husband, we were the only ones there, his food came out, mine never did. I had to get back to work for a meeting, so after 40 minutes I asked them to box my food to go, which seemed to confuse them. They finally figured out that I was in a hurry, and I think they hastily cooked my meal right then. I got back to work and tried the food, the sauce was so bland and the texture of my chicken dish was so off, I threw it away. Luckily my husband had brought half of his Butter Chicken Poutine with him, so I ate that for lunch, and it was delicious. It's now been at least 6 months since that experience, and I decided to come back with a friend. I was still on my lunch "hour" but this time I wouldn't miss anything if I came back late. That was a good thing. Same experience as before, there is zero sense of urgency at this place. There are at least 10 people just standing around and one person cooking, apparently they can only do one thing at a time. For the first 30 minutes of our lunch, we were the only ones there, so it's not like they were super slammed. Long story short, we arrived at 12:00 and didn't leave until 1:10. The people that work here are not the friendliest, and they don't care to check and see how things are going, if you need refills on drinks, to go boxes, or if you are ready to pay. We split an order of samosas that had good flavor, but were way too dry for me. My friend had their Mulligatawny Soup, which was FANTASTIC. Best part of the meal, so bright and light, sort of citrusy, just amazing. We each got a different bread, for me Spice Chili Cheese Naan, which is stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeños, we both really enjoyed this. She had Ambarsariya Kulcha, which the menu says is stuffed with potatoes, paneer, and spices. All we tasted was mint and parsley, neither of us cared for this. The last item we split was the Malai Kofta, four small potato balls that reminded me of hash browns, drowning in a bowl of creamy sauce that sort of tasted like a muted curry. It was good, but not mind blowing. Lunch was $66 for those items (we had plenty of leftovers), plus two iced teas, that we had to ask for multiple times and never received refills on. I'd give them a 4 for the food, but the service is just so awful. I eat out often for lunch, at restaurants in Fullerton, Buena Park, and Anaheim. I NEVER have issues ordering, eating, paying, and commuting back to the office within an hour. The only way I could see myself eating here again would be if I called it in ahead of time and picked it up to take home.

NAAN BASKET CHOOZA MAKHANI (butter chicken) VINDALOO(CHICKEN)
Ashley S.

My husband and I have been looking for a good Indian spot in Fullerton & wanted to check this place out for a while. Finally had the opportunity and it didn't disappoint. For a Friday night around 6:50 PM, we didn't need to wait as there were plenty of open seats. We ordered the Butter Chicken (Chooza Makhani), Chicken Vindaloo, Biryani w lamb & the Naan platter. To drink we also got a beer & a mango lassi. All the food was good! I did think the biryani was a little salty at times & the butter chicken was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall everything was yummy. It was my first time trying mango lassi and it's my newest obsession.

I came across this restaurant as I was doing delivery driving, and it stood out to me. It feels like an upscale trendy bar that serves real comfort food. It wasn't busy, so I felt comfortable dining in. All of the employees were super kind and generous. I ordered the goat curry with chili garlic naan, and mango lassi. It was mouthwatering and scrumptious, and it was worth every penny. I'd go back in a heartbeat. This was an upgrade from the previous Indian restaurant I went to. I even was able to split this into 3 different meals, as it is very filling. Don't let the portions fool you because it's very hearty. Their menu boasts so many options that you'll want to try everything, unlike other places. The seating at the bar is a little inconvenient just because there's no back support on the chairs, and it wiggles a little. But, I intend to try some of their alcoholic drinks next time. Great flavoral eats for sure!

Watermelon cooler and Aam Panna

Great food - we tried Vada pav, pav bhaji and keema pav. Keema pav comes with a fried egg I asked mine to be well done. I would like more chutney and chutney on the side. We tried the water melon cooler and aam panna. It was very refreshing on a hot day like today !

Really great Indian food, an Indian law professor told me about this for local Indian food that you don't have to travel to Artesia for.

SUPER YUMMY! Everything was super well-seasoned, I can't even describe how delicious it was. Came…read moreon a Wednesday night around 8:30pm and food was still HOT and fresh. We got Black Pepper Chicken, Chicken Curry, and Chicken Tikka Masala. If I had to rank my favorites in order (pretty difficult because they bring something different), I would say: 1. Black Pepper Chicken 2. Chicken Tikka Masala 3. Chicken Curry I didn't expect the Black Pepper Chicken to taste creamy but spicy. Chicken Tikka Masala was pretty standard. Chicken Curry is good if you want salty and less cream. All of the chicken in the dishes was tender and not dry at all! Mango Lassi is premade, in their fridge. Very delicious and fresh. I would 100% come back again.

This is a review I never thought I'd have to write. I've…read morebeen coming to Orange Curry regularly for the last couple of years since they first opened, and up until last night, I had never had a bad experience. In fact, I've recommended this place to friends and family and have always enjoyed the food. That's why this review is especially disappointing for me to leave. Last night, I stopped by to grab takeout for my girlfriend and myself. I ordered an Aloo Gobi bowl for her, and for myself, I ordered the chili chicken. Anyone who frequents Orange Curry knows that their chili chicken on Fridays and Saturdays is usually one of the most popular items on the menu. When I arrived, I was told they had run out and needed to make another batch, which would take about 15 minutes. No problem at all--I waited patiently in my car, picked up my order, and headed home. The food tasted fine, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary while I was eating. However, less than an hour later, I started feeling extremely sick. The nausea hit first, followed by sweating, stomach pain, and repeated trips to the bathroom. I couldn't keep anything down for the rest of the night. I became so pale that my girlfriend was genuinely concerned, and I spent hours trying to recover. I didn't start feeling remotely normal again until around 4:30 or 5:00 the next morning. To be clear, I can't say with certainty what caused it, but I can say that this was my experience after eating the meal I purchased that evening. Given how severe the symptoms were and how quickly they came on, I felt it was important to share what happened. It genuinely pains me to leave a one-star review because this has been one of my go-to spots for years. I've had many positive experiences here, which makes this situation even more surprising. My hope is that management takes this feedback seriously and looks into whether there may have been an issue with that particular batch of food. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but I would feel guilty staying silent after an experience like this. I sincerely hope no one else has to go through what I went through that night.
