this is in my TOP THREE Indian restaurants around the Tampa bay area!food: 4.5 starsservice: 5 starsThe food is excellent, providing great variation in their food and beautiful presentation. I ordered the chicken curry, garlic/cheese nan, and butter chicken. every single item was delicious, and the waitress was very helpful when choosing them! I did not get dessert as they have great portions and I was full.**I did wish more rice came with the dishes though! Hope to see that in the future**My waitress, Sasha, made my entire experience at this restaurant. She had me laughing all night, was VERY ATTENTIVE as i needed water every 5 minutes, and made us feel very valued as customers!I highly recommend this restaurant for a fine dining night out and a great experience.
Visited Spice Kitchen yesterday in a whim. My family usually stays away from Indian food because they can’t eat spicy food but the waiter was very helpful. We loved naan breads. Delicious best I’ve ever had. My mother wanted shrimp Masala instead of chicken and they custom made the dish for her. The most special part of Spice Kitchen is that owner’s make sure to approach each table and asks how the meal was. They then thank you for coming and invites you back. Super sweet. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to go back
Great food and drinks .. decent ambience .. Sasha is what makes the spice kitchen alive.. must go :) .. don't go by the review in Google in the past as the past manager was rude , driving people away
Used to LOVE this place it was our FAVORITE. best Indian ever. But came for Easter and the waitress ruined the whole meal. Rude, couldn’t even give us a menu, drink list, or anything that is a simple ask for ANY restaurant. We were so disappointed we had to leave for this special occasion. It was ruined we will never return. They need to work on the people they hire and their people skills. Gosh, what a shame. We are here every couple weeks.
I realize we were a big party, but they knew well ahead of time. That being said, food was good. Not the best. Definitely missing salt. But when I put salt in it, it was much better. The service was fantastic. Loved our waitress, who also doubled as the bartender. She was great.
I visited Spice Kitchen while in Tampa on a work trip. My peers who live in the area highly recommended. Best place around they said! I now understand why the Spice Kitchen is so popular. The food was awesome, so were the drinks & it was a great atmosphere. Excellent staff, very helpful and the owner was really cool too. I tried the Butter Chicken (best I’ve ever had), the Chicken Tikka and the Mango Lassi! All fantastic! Give Spice Kitchen a try - you will not be disappointed!
Best Indian food!!!! Amazing ambiance, great staff and best North Indian food in USA. Once you eat at spice kitchen you will not want to eat Indian food anywhere else in Florida. My guest traveled all the way from Wisconsin to eat at the best Indian food spot!!!
I ordered take out curry. I received 4 small pcs of meat in a tub of brown gravy. It was disgusting. The portions are tiny ( which in this case was not a problem as it went into the trash) someone else’s comment hit the spot , this restaurant us about wringing the customer out. Zero quality and zero service. I will not be back $23 for a tiny inedible curry containing four tiny pieces of meat is not on. A shop bought sauce is far superior to this garbage.
Sacha was so nice. She is very personable and gets your order fast. Its so fun to go a good Indian restaurant especially when you greeted with such friendly service. BTW the food is very authentic and made with good curry spices, I know because I get take out a lot. We like to dine in also because when I bring my wife, and if we are lucky enough to have Sacha serve us, she makes us laugh and we all have a great time.
My husband ate here last Saturday and I’m so glad we did! Our server Giselle was so amicable and gave us great recommendations. As an appetizer we ordered the vegetable samosas and they were perfect. I do like that you can order everything by spice level 1 to 5. Our entrees were perfect and were prepared so quickly. I also love that they were handing out flowers for Valentine’s Day to all of the women - such a sweet touch!My only wish is that the naan bread was bottomless bread - we ordered more to take home with us, it’s that good!
