I love Indian food—there is always so many complex flavors, interesting ingredients, and potential for unique dishes. Spice n Rice delivers on this with a great selection of menu items and a lunch buffet—good for meat-eaters and vegetarians. I first learned of them through Door...Dash and then came for their lunch buffet.
I would highly recommend Spice n Rice through a delivery service. The portions delivered were very hearty, traveled well, and arrive hot (granted, my work is about a 10-minute drive from the restaurant). Taking the delivery and lunch buffet together, everything I ate was delicious. My one of my two favorite dishes are the Vegetable Korma, a medley of fresh vegetables cooked in cream, onions, tomatoes, cashews, and almonds. I loved it so much, I skip on the rice so I can eat more of it and use the naan to sop up all the delicious sauce. The other dish I love is the Butter Chicken, a Tandoori boneless chicken served in a traditional tomato and onion sauce. The chicken pieces were tender and marinated well in the sauce; again, no rice, but use the naan to scoop up all that awesome sauce too. Their Vegetable Pakora, fried battered vegetables, tamarind, and mint chutney is also flavorful—well-cooked so it isn’t heavy on the fry. I like using it to scoop up the sauces too. And I love that places like this serve a Mango Lassi—the perfect digestif after what almost-always-is for me, a big lunch (it helps avoid a food coma at work).
I believe Indian food is one of those cuisines best served in a buffet because with so many novel and unique dishes, it makes it easy to try small samples of a lot of interesting choices and then figure out what you like and would pass on next time. So when you come to Spice n Rice, you won’t be disappointed ordering something off their menu, but I recommend coming to their buffet first, to try almost-all of what they have to offer. I want to rate them at a 3.5, but will round up on this one.More
