I got tikka masala, both the lamb and vegetable samosa, and naan. The masala is so flavorful and something I would absolutely get again.

Overall I loved this place! The flavors are well balanced and so savory!

Dined here with a couple of colleagues and ordered a variety of appetizers and mains. Standouts for me were the dahi vada and chicken tikka, thought the latter was a bit unusual in that it was a little saucier that I'm used to and came with random bits of vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, etc). A couple things I wouldn't reorder were the lamb rogan josh, which was too creamy for my taste, and the makki ki roti, which was smeared with a little too much ghee. The menu is extensive, and I'd be happy to return to try some of the other items.

Spice & Tonic located in an unassuming historic building downtown. Its decor isn't anything…read morespecial, but the space itself is cozy and rustic. They were understaffed on a Tuesday weeknight, with one server doing the hosting and all of the serving--there were only a couple of young bussers/runners to help him out. The poor server seemed quite stressed, but he managed to provide STELLAR customer service to every table. He anticipated every need and even offered to give us extra rice to-go. I wish I had gotten his name, because I was so impressed by how well he managed all these duties and directed the younger, less experienced employees. The food was excellent and reasonably priced! Spice & Tonic should be on anyone's list for Indian food in the area.

Restaurant is clean, service is great, plenty of parking since it's in a strip mall. I think they do a lot of take out orders. We went for lunch and ordered a dish (chicken tikka masala) from the $15 lunch special. They also have lunch specials of 2 curry or 3 curry options. But our favorite of lamb vindaloo wasn't a lunch option so we ordered that separately along with tandoori chicken. The tandoori chicken came with a chutney rack (dipping sauces) and the vindaloo came with a side of naan. Normally naan is ordered separately and doesn't come free with dishes, only certain ones. Everything was delicious. The tandoori chicken came sizzling hot and was tender and juicy. Both curries (ordered at medium spice) were so flavorful! Good amount of protein in each. We also ordered the pickle accompaniment and that was a miss for us. It's not our taste. Highly recommend this place .

I thought they would be more of a super crispy flat dish, but they have the substance of a real pancake, with savory flavors. Really wonderful. We ordered three entrées, including the jackfruit and the eggplant. The jackfruit was my absolute favorite, but that was not universal. I think it was very well well prepared, but not everyone likes jackfruit and not everyone loves those spices. But it made me so happy. The eggplant dish was pretty good, but the potato two eggplant ratio could be improved. A few too many potatoes and not enough eggplant. Otherwise excellent. The service was fine. The owner did come over and say hello to us afterwards and he was delightful. Another excellent immigrant owned business to support in Minneapolis.

Unlike SK, I'm not going to grade on a "Minneapolis Curve" here and am simply giving it 2* (which…read moremight be generous). I ordered the dal soup, the garden veg curry (with added chicken) and a chapati. The soup looked promising, being an ample portion and arriving in an attractive bowl, but was rather thin and, more problematically, was over-salted to the point of indelibleness. The curry wasn't terrible, but was also rather salty, and the "added chicken" I was charged $4 for amounted to a paltry three one-inch cubes of diced breast. Also, while I'd asked for my food to be mild, everything ended up being rather spicy. Very disappointing.

We loved almost everything we tried. They have a fairly extensive menu, with lots of apps, street foods, curries, and some surprise dishes that aren't so easily found at other Indian spots. We tried the dahi puri, paneer makhani, tandoori murg, makki roti with sarson ka saag, and several naan. The paneer was creamy with tons of flavor, and my husband said the roti with saag dish reminded him of home - big win! The dahi puri was cool and brightly flavored and crunchy and creamy, perfect starter on a hot day. The only thing I would maybe pass on is the tandoori chicken - while it came out sizzling with a great char, it had some strange flavors, almost like they mixed in chili Gobi or something with it? Not bad, just not what was expected, especially since everything else really hit it out of the park. The restaurant was empty when we arrived at an off time, but started to fill up quickly as we approached dinner time. Family friendly, as we brought our baby and felt comfortable with her both in a wagon and high chair, the service was kind and very accommodating. Can't wait to come back and try more the next time an Indian food craving hits!

The lamb was probably was favorite and was gone very quickly. The chicken was a close second and had a ton of flavor which the naan soaked up nicely. The galub jamun was a pleasant surprise as well. I got an order to go, it was syrupy and a perfect sweet treat to end a savory meal. I would go back! P.s. I ordered mild and the nice waitress politely insisted on medium.

I ordered what I believed was a vegetable platter appetizer, but when it arrived it turned out to be fried fritter-style items instead. Since I wasn't familiar with some of the menu terminology, I asked my server if there was an actual vegetable platter with a variety of fresh vegetables. He pointed to another item on the menu, so I asked what it was. Rather than explaining it, he mumbled something I couldn't understand and literally walked away while I was still trying to ask questions. As someone who isn't familiar with every Indian dish, I was simply trying to understand what I was ordering in terms I could recognize. The food may be good, but the service completely overshadowed the experience. I left feeling dismissed and unwelcome. Given the restaurant's reputation, I was genuinely surprised by how poor the customer service was during my visit. This version focuses on the service issue rather than insults, which tends to carry more weight on Yelp and Google.
