Spice Indian is a nice little spot for authentic Indian food. I came for lunch and had a very good…read moreexperience. Here's the deal: Ambiance is fine. A smaller restaurant with approximately 15 booths/ tables, able to accommodate parties up to 12. The restaurant is a more casual setting feeling like a cafe had it not been for the Indian music and a large TV with music videos playing. The restaurant was very clean and otherwise comfortable. Service was very good. My server was attentive and accommodating, the food was served quickly. The food is the star here at Spice. I had chicken tikka masala and the lunch portion was more than enough. Served with chunks of green peppers and onions which is to my preference and something I look for in this dish. The sauce was less creamy than some but I thought balanced without too much of a tomato forward flavor. The amount of chicken was just right. I ordered mine American hot and it was more on the mild side. I would suggest ordering a step up from what you might typically order. Overall a great dish and recommended. The lunch specials come with a samosa appetizer and small desert which rounds out the lunch really well. I ordered garlic naan in addition to this. The naan was actually a bit below par compared to the rest of the meal but not bad. For those of you who want a bit more than soda or tea, the restaurant offers beers, wines and wells. Overall Spice Indian provides a great dining experience and a place I would certainly recommend. See you there sometime. Cheers!

This place isn't in the nice historic part of Richmond, and so seems to do a lot of takeout. But it…read morewas a classy and clean enough place to dine in. Parking is a little dicey in the surrounding neighborhood, but they have their own lot, which I didn't know beforehand. The menu is broad. While tofu is not a core Indian foodstuff, it goes great with all sorts of classic sauces, and I tried a South Indian curry that gave a rich spice hit, even at medium hot. My bhindi masala was excellent, preserving the crispness of the vegetables and carrying a warm flavor with hints of cinnamon. The samosa chaat was on the smaller side, but flavorwise was excellent, including some pomegranate arils. They gave me a free dessert, which is fine enough. I spend a lot of time craving Indian food and virtually none of it thinking about the desserts, which seems to be a widespread preference among Americans. As to the main course, however, they had abundant options for all dietary needs, and the flavors were on point.

This place seems to do a lot of takeout, and I can see why. The food was wonderfully savory and duly affordable. The service was quick and prompt. We were seated within seconds of arriving. Our server gave us time to peruse the menu without pestering us for our order. We settled on chicken, ordering the coconut konkani, and my partner got something savory. I like the sweet and spicy, so I went with level 3. We tried the samosas for an appetizer, also delicious. I can wholeheartedly recommend Bajra Indian Bistro, a true hidden gem. Bring your friends and be ready to taste something amazing.

The restaurant seemed very understaffed with only three servers, which led to slow service. The appetizers from the Valentine's menu were half the size compared to the normal menu, and our naan didn't arrive until we were almost finished with our meal. At $55/person, we didn't feel that it was worth it. We've had much better experiences at Tulsi in Carytown and would recommend that as a local alternative.

You have to set expectations here. There are a lot of nice Indian restaurants with innovative cuisine or high-end ambiance, and this is really not that. It's cafeteria style food. But it's priced accordingly, and no one's forcing any religion on you. So if what you want is a modest bite, this place has something to offer. My thali delivered a robust variety of flavors for a very reasonable price, served by a single person dressed as a monk; there didn't seem to be anyone else there. I scarfed it down pretty quickly, and I felt good about doing so.

It was quiet when we had dinner there. Got the lamb shank qabuli which was very tender and served with Qabuli rice and side salad. Lamb kabob was also bursting with flavor but we thought the serving size was small. The falafel plate was very good. Everything was so flavorful and we really enjoyed the food. The owner was very nice. Since we shared the food, we would have appreciated if we were also given an extra plate; nevertheless, we were starving so it was alright. Would definitely come back!

Spiced perfectly and the right portion size for 1 person, every bite of the freshly made naan and kabob was perfection.
