The food at Spice Street is amazing with so much variety, and I can highly recommend their service as well. We were able to snag a table for Valentine's Day evening on their website and they did NOT overbook - we were seated within 5 mins. of arriving. Service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. The cocktails were innovative and delicious; we loved the jalapeño passion fruit cocktail (spicy!) and the ginger mojito. We were very hungry but decided on 4 smaller plates, which was exactly the right amount of food. Highly recommend their Crab Kathi Roll appetizer, the Crispy Spinach with Dates, the Chicken Cafreal and the Eggplant Fritters - although the mild spicing and flavor of the eggplant was outshone by the other robustly flavored items; still tasty though. Service was friendly and crisp and the pricing was very economical especially considering the variety and quality of the food and beverage. A 5-Star keeper!! read more

The service and the Brussels sprouts were the best part of the meal. The servers were very attentive and kind. The Brussels sprouts chat was so good! Roasted to perfection and paired well with the chutneys. I also ordered the lamb vindaloo and it was lack luster to me. The lamb chunks were good, but the sauce lacked spice even though I asked for spicy. My friend got the garlic naan and I tasted it. I wasn't a fan of the taste or texture. The restaurant itself is cute and cozy! read more

Sometimes, accidental dinner plans work out so well. Orginially, we intended to visit another local restaurant; however, there was some confusion with that restaurant, so we ended up at Spice Street. Overall, our group had a very wonderful time. The restaurant, as well as the staff, was very warm and inviting. For me, the atmosphere was one of a snazzy restaurant with a low-key lounge vibe. Overall, I thought the menu prices were pretty fair in comparison to other Indian restaurants in the area. Ok, so a few of the dishes might be a bit up there in price, but these prices were not anything unreasonable. For my dining pleasure, I went with the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was absolutely amazing. The dish came with a large portion for food. Also, I thought the chicken was well-seasoned and cooked long and low to perfection. The dish was so good that I'm not sure if I will be able to try other dishes upon my next visit. ;) Although I cannot directly speak for the other folks at my table, I'm pretty sure that they were happy with their dishes. All in all, Spice Street definitely is a spot to check out. read more

Lunch date with my daughter (Tues., 12/29/25). STILL nothing but praise for this restaurant. (I'm a repeat customer for good reason.) Excellent service, delicious food (their garlic naan is my fav, hands down) and such a warm, cute lil cozy place. Looking forward to hearing YOUR review/opinion. read more

This one has been on my list for a few years now and I'm glad we finally tried it. The location in downtown silver spring near the movie theater makes it a solid choice for some Indian food before going taking in a movie. Here were our hits and misses: Spicy passion fruit: definitely spicy. More spicy from the jalapeno than the sour/sweet from the passion fruit. A hit if you like drinks with a kick! Dalchini: "good" (Highest level of praise from my husband) Samosa chaat: proportions of chutneys and chickpeas all perfect just needed some onions/tomatoes diced on top for texture and it would have been perfect. Lamb korma: thick delicious gravy and they Didn't skimp on lamb. Definitely a hit with my carnivore husband. Tofu chana masala: tastes just like Chole. Can't even taste the tofu as it isn't crisped up or anything it's just in there all soft and paneer-like. I actually wasn't sure about that but I tried it and it was lovely!! A hit for me and for anybody looking for a vegetarian friendly protein forward option . Something to note: There is construction going on so be sure to factor that in when trying to find parking as there are road closures/detours. We were seated pretty quickly and it was a busy Saturday evening for them. The portions are appropriate -- not too little and not too much; you really feel satisfied and it's just awesome they have some dishes with tofu. There's lots of other stuff to try on the menu for future visits and since we are often in the area to catch a movie I have no doubt we will be back. read more

A warm and inviting Indian restaurant in DTSS; waitstaff were just as warm and hospitable. The menu is vast, with mostly northern region dishes. They different vegan and vegetarian items, as well as food that contains nuts. We shared a fish pakora appetizer. It was fried tilapia strips floured and seasoned with many spices. The exterior was crispy and interior was tender and flaky. It came with a green cilantro based chutney. I had the basil infused salmon. 2 pieces of marinated salmon cooked in a tandoor oven and rolled in basil and parsley came out, accompanied by cilantro chutney, shredded red cabbage, cucumber slices and basmati rice. The fish was cooked to perfection, with basil flavor complementing the protein. My companion liked his fish curry. It was a mild bit flavorful gravy with slices of tilapia. The drinks (mango lassi and Pinot Grigio) were also very good with the meal. read more

The establishment is clean and comfortable. The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. We came here because we were in silver spring for the day and someone on reddit recommended it. What a great spot. All the food was phenomenal - delicious, and flavorful. We got the butter chicken, lamb korma, and chicken tikka masala. My favorite and what the waiter recommended was the lamb korma! The butter chicken is a classic you can never go wrong with. And the chicken Tikka masala has a nice tomato flavor. The samosas were very delicious! We also got the cucumber drink and the tamarind margarita. Both were absolutely delicious, but might i say they tasted like there was not much alcohol in them. i still enjoyed both drinks regardless. Refreshing and flavorful. I would recommend this spot to anyone! read more

DO NOT patronize this place. They are HOMOPHOBIC and RACIST. I went in to eat and they said it would be a 40 minute wait. I said ok. The host walked away towards the bar and I then saw the bartender smirk at me as if the host was making fun of me. So I went inside to the bar to ask if something was funny and noticed there were only 3 tables with white people taken and they were not busy at all. So that got me to thinking they didn't want me there because I'm black and gay. I then ask why 40 minutes when the restaurant is basically empty and they said oh because there was only one server. This was not true because I saw two servers in there and one was behind the bar. Do not support these racist discriminatory people! read more

Very clean great service nice ambiance. Good food large portions but a little spicier than we expected when we ordered low heat level.

This place is fantastic. I've ordered delivery from here before but it's better in person. It's a cozy, quiet, and beautiful atmosphere with good service. The chicken tikka masala is Delicious. Garlic naan is also great. Chicken korma and butter chicken are good, but the tikka masala was a standout (so much so that I forgot to take a picture!) read more

Very good meal. Got the samosa chaat, the crab Kati roll, and the lamb curry. All very flavorful. FWIW I thought the spicy here was equivalent to a medium at some other places, so I'm glad I ordered spicy. read more

Great Indian thalis (lunch only, but every day). They rotate the thali choices daily. It's a generous portion of food and includes three curries (choose from five), naan, rice, and dessert. Good drinks as well (chai, mocktails, cocktails, draft beer, and bottled Indian beer). Nice / upscale atmosphere and good service --despite being a bit thin on staff. Prices overall very reasonable. read more

Who remembers catching up with friends, family and colleagues over Indian cuisine at lunch? Especially at a buffet? Vegan, vegetarian, can't decide, in a hurry, got hours to stuff your face? Finally found a go-to buffet spot! So why will this review not be about a buffet? They have three menus so I'm coming back on a Monday or Wednesday, when they have rice pudding. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays have a second menu. Sundays and Fridays have the third. Also, the menus clearly designate what is gluten-free. And it's most of the menu. Woohoo! Everything reviewed here is gluten-free. Chai was good and they offered to dialed back on the milk. TYSM! I was so pleased and excited to have palak chaat, which I affectionately call fried salad. This version had a lot of chopped dates and a little tamarind chutney. Delicious with no fuss. I like some yogurt and diced tomatoes and onions (AKA fuss) on mine so I hooked up the leftovers at home. Lamb was the choice that day. The grilled lamb chops were so succulent and well seasoned that I still think of the flavors. Aloo palak was fine. To me the spinach was a softer purée than usual, the potatoes leaned firm and the salt level was a tad high. Did I eat it? Yep! The lamb korma was pretty tasty. Less distinctive cashew flavor and some lamb was less tender. And other pieces were much softer. The basmati rice was delicious. I was offered more to take home. Please and thank you! I wanted to eat and drink more but I got full too fast. Won't make that mistake again when I go back for the "pick 3" buffet!!! read more

We went on a Monday evening. We secured a parking spot in front of the restaurant. Parking could be an issue on a busy night but it was practically empty. Probably 2 other tables had patrons. The service was nonetheless superb. We were seated as soon as we sat down. The waiter was very friendly and honest about the menu. I ordered the cardamom gin cocktail and it was good. Fair amount of alcohol and not too sweet. I tried the vegetable soup. It was piping hot and ok. The vegetables were too thin for my liking. My friend did not love the soup or his extra spicy vindaloo. My chicken tikka was delish and the nan was fresh and tasty. I am so glad I stumbled upon this spot. read more

The vegetable pakoras, local specialty lamb curry, eggplant curry, and date naan all blew us away. Tamarind margarita was also excellent. Great atmosphere and delicious food. Pani puri a bit stale, wouldn't get again. read more

The food was excellent and the service very timely. Veer in particular was very attentive.

Always amazing service, serene environment (especially during lunch on a non-Holiday) yet still not empty, and delicious. Each dish is stand-alone dynamic. The lunch special is an open invitation to try less known go to's. Yes let's tiptoe past butter chicken and tikki masala...or at least try two outside of your norm. Each desert is delectable as well...especially the Moong Daal Halwa. read more

Spice Street - Fish Curry, Butter Chicken, & Masoor Daal - Indian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Ordered delivery w/ Grub Hub. Delivery was on time, and the food was barely warm. The naan was soaked in ghee (?), and was tasteless. The raita was good; the okra was mushy as was the eggplant. Similar dishes at Masala Art and Malabar , are much better. Good Indian food is vibrant, spicy, and full of flavor . Unfortunately. The Spice street food lacked the hallmark of Indian cuisine. read more

Small restaurant that is well decorated with incredibly attentive staff who replaced our plates for every dish. The food is affordable, delicious, and well-seasoned. We ordered the Palaak Chat, Pani Puri, Lamb Curry, Garlic Naan, and Chicken Tikka Masala, as well as the Falooda for dessert. The sauce for the Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious and while everything was well-seasoned, nothing was overly spicy, which I appreciated. Generally, I really appreciated the ambiance of the restaurant. It's a lovely place to dine when in Silver Spring. read more

Ate here last night with a group of 9 adults and 1 toddler. They did such a lovely job of balancing everyone's needs and helping with the toddler by bringing bread right away. The toddler also had food allergies and they went out of their way to show us what she could eat. The food was delicious and plentiful and Veer did a great job of handling a big group quickly and helpfully. read more

Wanting a comforting and warm/welcoming dinner after a day of some productivity and moving into the area, and having walked past Spice Street the night before, we decided on an early dinner given original plans. Things shifted around after our meal, which is irrelevant, but we really enjoyed our dinner. The cocktails were super tasty and the Samosa Chaat was very good. I'd have preferred the sauces to be on the side, but that's a nitpick.It was super flavorful. The crab Kathi roll was new to us (we love Indian food) and was very tasty; it was easily a highlight. the naan and out other bread were very good. We were only given one bowl of rice for our mains: The veggie Korma and Chicken Makhani, but that makes sense and it was a good portion. Both mains were super flavorful and exactly what we wanted. Ambiance was lovely; service was friendly and efficient, although our server was a smidge soft-spoken. 4.5 out of 5 stars. we'll be back! read more

As soon as we walked in the scent of incense hit the ambiance was wonderful and the decorations where amazing.

They even followed us outside to give back a hair tie that we had left there! Would definitely recommend! read more

Goodness gracious! My first takeout meal of the year. So good! I was craving some good Indian food and instantly thought about this restaurant but didn't feel like driving soooo I used DoorDash, haha. I ordered the chicken makhani (butter chicken), lamb curry and samosa chaat. The chicken and lamb comes with rice. Really good portion size, tender chicken and lamb, great flavors and very filling. I've been to the restaurant before and can say that the food is consistently good. I took photos but it doesn't show how good the food was. I definitely recommend checking Spice Street out. read more

Came here on a Saturday for lunch w a couple of friends. With the exception of a couple other tables, we essentially had the whole place to ourselves. The food was decent. My favorite part of the meal was the garlic cheese naan. I had a lamb dish, while my friends had the chicken masala and the paneer. Everything was good but not great? What really put me off though was they had just mopped before opening so not only did I almost wipe out on the slippery floor but it also reeked of bleach. read more

This is a pleasant little place with friendly service. We had heard raves about the thali lunch specials and were eager to try: one of us loves sampler platters! The thali consists of 3 choices of the 6 on offer - these vary depending on the day of the week. Between the two of us we were able to sample all 6 of the Sunday possibilities. Also included is your choice of bread and a small dessert. The consensus: at $16, the thali is good value for money. We ate our fill and still had leftovers to take home. We didn't ooh and aah over the food, but also had no complaints. It's a nice neighborhood option but nothing to cross town for. read more

Great restaurant. I was really impressed by the service. Our server was Veer. He took time to listen to dietary preferences and made excellent suggestions. The food was very good. Great flavor and nice portions. The ambiance was lovely. It's nice enough to be a date night restaurant but casual enough for a weekday dinner too . And don't let construction on Georgia Avenue deter you from there was parking around the block. Highly recommend this place. read more

Very quick and efficient delivery. I ordered the chicken tikka masala which was excellent. As was the naan. We also ordered the lentil soup, which I'm sorry to say was only fair. It had a large menu with lots to choose from. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

I am a big fan of Spuce Street! I've been here twice now with family and we have really enjoyed ourselves. Ambiance and service are great! The star is the chicken vinadloo. It has a far more complex flavor then all the other versions I've tried in my many years. I prefer it to the lamb vindaloo, I felt that the chicken was more tender (in my visits at least). The shrimp Tikka was devoured quickly and the chicken makni was also very good. The samosa chaat with chickpeas (not sure if this is the name) was delicious. The mango chaat was also very good. The normal samosas are quite tasty and the fluffy garlic naan is always a must order. My only minor gripe is that the chicken Tikka masala had lots of green bell peppers in it, which changed the flavor profile. Not sure if that's how they normally make it, but it was a little odd, although still polished off in record time. This is my favorite Indian restaurant in DTSS by far! read more

I came her for Happy Hour and Dinner and had a delectable experience. I had the tamarind margarita which had a fresh, aromatic taste and a sugar rim and it was so good. There was a perfect balance of delicious taste and expected strength from an alcoholic beverage. For an appetizer, I had the wings which were hot and delicious out the oven with a smokey taste. Then I got garlic naan with the chicken tiki masala and it was well seasoned and so flavorful. Your taste buds will be happy. I enjoyed the customer service and thought they were kind and attentive. I recommend coming to eat here and I can see myself coming back here. read more

I have to admit that I'm a little worried about this place. The food is amazing, the location is great, the prices are totally reasonable and yet during a weekday lunch there were only three tables filled. Come on people! I had the Tandoori Murg which is basically a half tandoori chicken and it was literally flawless. The cook, the flavor, the texture...all of it. This isn't one of those places that fakes their tandoori...they've got the oven in the back and they're not afraid to use it! The naan is just the way I like it. Not crunchy but with a little char on it - it tears apart but isn't chewy. Yum! The lunch special which my friend had was a steal. Three dishes, an order of naan and a dessert (Kheer...YUMMO!!!). This is the perfect midday lunch for the working Joe (or Josephine). The service and people were super nice and the decor is relaxing. I just don't get why this place isn't packed all-the-time! Please check this place out and spread the gospel about their excellence. I would hate to see them disappear. read more

Finally a good Indian restaurant in Silver Spring. It's quality food that can appeal to both desi and non desi folks which is a huge win. The interior is fantastic and does an amazing use of space with 2 levels for seating. Gives a fancy vibe so atypical for this area. This place doesn't do buffets (thankfully) but has a lunch thali on its offering. The selection is nice and they rotate it often. On the day I went, there was fish, chicken makhani and palak paneer. The portions were decent and I'm full. Chicken was tender. Fish was fresh. Palak was flavorful. Lunch Thali is available on weekdays as well as weekends. One important note. The spice level is not too high. But that's not a negative here at all. Parking garage is a couple of blocks away. Restrooms are clean. Final word. Definitely checkout. read more

The ambiance and service was very good. The food was mediocre at best and I do not recommend. We tried two appetizers (which the server said were the most popular) and a few entrees to share. It was all bland and uninteresting. The prices are high given the quality. The appetizers were cold. Will not return, and I am baffled by the positive reviews. read more

On my way out with my order, Shyam and I held a little conversation about my newfound love for Indian food. Exiting the building, I turned around and expressed that because of our exchange, I bet the food is really good because it feels like you all care about the customers and that it feels like the food is made with love. Well, I think I can claim the great folks at Spice Street as my cousins. I had no idea I'd end up at Spice Street this evening but, I knew I needed something meatless, great in taste and enough to satisfy me. I rolled the dice on two of those. My first time at Spice Street was tonight and I'm glad about it. Happy, even. I didn't know how the food would taste or how much I'd get but, I was super pleased with my entire order...from the initial phone call when I placed my order, right up until the composing of this review! Though I'm new to the world of great Indian food, I have to say that this simple marriage of chickpeas and basmati rice was SUPER good. Keep in mind, our taste buds are all different but, I bet you can't call this nasty or tasteless! So much flavor. Tender. Mad as hell I don't have any left for lunch tomorrow, lol!! Lastly but just as important, THE SPOT IS CLEAN!! You feel the energy and you feel the coziness. I'd say invite someone you like to a good time and enjoy yourselves. My new cousins have it covered! CHANNA MASALA Happy dining! read more
