I called the Deccan spice Hotel to know if they have a good selection of biryani or vegetarian and Ram answered the call and he told us to come right over as they have a wide variety of choices to make and sure enough 20 minutes later we were there, in the restaurant and we were not disappointed. Ram invited us with a big smile and made us very comfortable and went through the menu and the dishes were awesome and the spice level was perfect, and we ordered a veggie biryani which is made in the Hyderabadi style, paneer tikka masala kadahi paneer & gralic naan and bread sweet dish that comes with scoop of vanilla ice cream. Everything was so nice and Service in this restaurant is 100 out of hundred and with a dedicated & passionate Employee like Ram at this restaurant, this place is going to win several awards and going to go places and this place is definitely one of the best Indian food places in Fort Lauderdale area so if you're here for any vacation or living in this area, Definitely visit the Restaurent and check out their biryani offerings or for lunch buffet which offers a wide variety of choices for the buffet menu. read more

Tried weekend lunch buffet and really love the various food options.. I've tried previously at this restaurant for lamb chops and biryani. I like chicken malai and tandoori also. Service and ambiance is good. Ate few times at this restaurant and will return for the buffet again. read more

My two friends joined me for lunch. I was hoping they had the buffet, but we were told that the buffet is only on weekends. The lunch menu is nice and I had the Korma Chicken. I asked for baby friendly but what I got was a level 1. It was too spicy. One of my friends got the Tandoori Lamb Chops and she said they were very good. It took a while for the food to arrive but when it did, we loved the beautiful presentation. read more

Wow! Talk about flavor! Deccan Spice definitely covers the gamut for filling tastebuds with lots and lots of flavor. Not a connoisseur of ordering Indian cuisine, I was grateful that Wally, the maître d' at Deccan Spice was willing and patient to explain multiple dinner choices. Even though I chose mild, I still found myself drinking lots of water, but the meal was excellent. While deciding on my order, I noticed multiple orders being picked up for delivery. Apparently, Deccan Spice is quite popular. I think the only drawback is its location in a shopping plaza, but once tasting the food and admiring the large interior, which is nicely decorated, shopping plaza or not, Deccan Spice is worth a visit. read more

So, me and my homeboy really love Indian food and did a lot of restaurant crawls on East 6th Street, Murray Hill & Jackson Heights in NYC, so we're very familiar with South Asian cuisine and pretty persnickety. Having said this, I must say our visit to Deccan Spice was a real pleasure! As soon as we walked in we saw that the place was jam packed with South Asian people enjoying their own cuisine - which is always a good sign! The staff is super friendly and accommodating, and the restaurant is very clean with a lovely interior. The buffet was robust with a plethora of offerings including dessert. The nan and biryani provided just the right base to catch all of the succulent sauces and tender bits of meat. The buffet is also regularly cleaned and replenished so you don't miss out on anything! The standouts for me were the garlic fish and the curried goat - but everything was delicious and the cooks clearly know what they're doing and love doing it. I'll DEFINITELY go back! read more

If you're craving Indiana and want something a little more upscale than usual then Deccan Spice is the spot for you. Perfect place for a date night or chill with your friends. The peach bliss was well blissful. The flavors fresh, the drink beautifully poured. I decided on the chicken vindaloo and fair warning it is EXTRA spicy and that's just how it comes. If you love spice then this is the dish for you but if you're curious if it's too spicy for you then I would advise you to try something different. The garlic naan and rice were delicious. The service was also very good. They were attentive but not intrusive. read more

When getting restaurant recommendations, I like to hear from people who grew up eating that type of food. So when an Indian man recommended Deccan Spice to me, I figured it would most likely be good. Deccan Spice is better than good. The food is so flavorful. I'm a sucker for some Samosas. And their Samosas are great. They have a Tamarind Sauce that I would pour on everything if I could, it's so good. You MUST try the Mango Lassi. It's so refreshing. My description wouldn't do it justice. I think the Shrimp Biryani is my favorite dish. But everything I've had there has been delicious. If you're not used to South Asian spicy food, be careful. I wouldn't recommend anything higher than medium spicy to the uninitiated. Indian spicy is no joke. I've been to Deccan Spice several times, dine in as well as take out and have never been disappointed. read more

If anyone knows me, Indian food is my jam. It is my go-to feel good food. It is probably in short is my favourite cuisine. Therefore, in a nutshell I am on a quest to sample all Indian food wheIever i go. So.... after a google search whilst in the area, it led me here. The service was friendly and fast. I ordered my go to - chicken tikka masala with a medium spice. I also ordered a peshwari styled naan (they called it something else here). The food came out piping hot. It hit the spot. What was interesting for me to notice was the curry was not as orangey red as other establishments. The food delivered in the flavour, I was not disappointed. I was told by my male server that they offer buffet, but sadly for me at the weekend. I would definitely come again. read more

Avoid if you value your time Absolute disrespect for drivers.This place has a massive issue with fulfilling orders on time. I have picked up from here multiple times, and every single time they are shockingly far behind, even when the restaurant is completely empty. Today, the order was supposed to be ready at 11:54 AM. First they told me 10 minutes. Then another 5. Then another 10. They just keep stringing you along because they do not care about delivery orders or respecting people's time. Absolute lack of professionalism. read more

AUTHENTIC. That's the main descriptive word I'd use. My husband is Indian and he was taken back by it being "real Indian food". We got the Rogan Josh with goat and chicken tikka masala. Even the chicken tikka tasted more true to au theatric Indian cuisine than most restaurants. (My husband said to try the butter chicken if you want something a little easier). We also got samosas as an app and a mango lassi to share after our meal. Both great! It was kind of an intense experience lol but I would definitely come back! The service was great - our waitress was very personal and the other workers were also attentive. And it's a great atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or a nice time with friends or family. read more

One of the best of Fort Lauderdale for sure. Great selection of dishes for all palates. Be careful if sensitive to heat. Medium here is hot everywhere else. Extra mild for those who can't tolerate heat. (My poor wife eating my medium dish, lol). Great service and a beautiful interior. We had some of the best naan ever as well as the plates I can't remember at the moment. Go here, you won't be disappointed. read more

Don't let the location and store front fool you. Deccan Spice is excellent, and I have to say it's the best Indian cuisine I've ever had! The food is amazing, the decor is trendy, and the service was in point. They had a very large party dining near us, but our service did not suffer because of it. We will definitely be visiting again! read more

Food was great,love the Ambience, excellent service good parking .....good price !!!!

Honestly, it is one thing to have somebody wait for a few minutes but I've been outright ignored for over 30 minutes now. I am standing here in the front for an order that was placed long before I got there, not to mention how their Christmas decorations were just on the ground. Honestly, that's the last time I do a Walmart run before picking up food from here, or at all for that matter. read more

Tonight we dined at Deccan Spice, and it was amazing--just like every time we enjoy Indian cuisine! I ordered the Andhra Lamb Curry, which was bursting with flavor. I'd recommend choosing mild to medium spice, as the medium was just a touch too hot for me. My husband went for the Chicken Goan Vindaloo, extra spicy, and he absolutely loved both the heat and the depth of flavor. Each dish was served with perfectly cooked basmati rice, and we started with garlic naan, which was fresh, fragrant, and delicious. A special mention to Sumanth, our server--he was not only attentive but also had a great sense of humor, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic and flavorful Indian food! read more

This is one of my fav Indian restaurants in the area. Buffet is okay but their dinner dishes are exceptional. I had tried their Apollo fish, Colombo shrimp, Goat biryani, lentil soup. Each dish was well marinated, had a punch of spice that made you coming for more. Their Afghani naan was very flavorful and Badam milk was rich. There aren't a lot of good Indian restaurants in FLL area so this was a welcome relief. The interior was well adorned with photographs many of them from the colonial past. Deccan spice is very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food they provide. Service was a bit slow even on a weeknight when the restaurant wasn't super occupied. Just some constructive feedback there but in no means a complaint. Really want this place to flourish because I love it. read more

We arrived in the middle of the lunch hour, the restaurant has about 75% full which normally is a good sign but maybe not so much for us since we didn't make a reservation. Luckily we got the table pretty quickly. Note to self, make reservation next time. The manager asked if we had been there before, our reply was no it's our first time, he continued to take us through the Buffet offerings and led us to the table. Good service, a little personal touch goes a long way. We chose the buffet @$24 which is a good deal for what was on the menu. They have a full bar and a big wine display, for folks that may want to indulge. Anyways the have a vegetarian side and a non vegetarian side of the buffet, plus self serve Pani Puri and made to order Dosa station. The have apps, a good selection of curries and Biryani. The food overall was pretty good. The reasons I dropped a star was the tight space between the buffet station and tables. Also food could have been a little better. Overall pretty good experience, I will be back. read more

Since we were in the neighborhood, we went to try their lunch buffet on October 20th, 2024. I must say if anyone hasn't tried Indian cuisine, this is the place to get a taste of India. The buffet includes right from the famous Indian Masala Chai, Pani Puri, Indian chat, various bhajias, and varied tandoori items to the various curries (Vegetaria, Chicken, Lamb, Shrimp) Biryanis, condiments, and desserts. They also spoil you with a complimentary mini dosa. You can't go wrong over here @ $23.00. It's seems popular as it was pretty busy when we went around 1pm My favorites were the tandoori items & Masala Chai, among others. I would also recommend the light beer (Rupee) The ambiance is welcoming and service prompt. This restaurant is definitely a must try if you are craving Indian food. Thanks for reading. read more

It was a delightful meal, with good food and excellent service here at Deccan Spice last night. I've always loved Indian food, and I can appreciate the time it takes and the varied ingredients required to authenticate a tremendous traditional dish. We arrived at a mostly empty restaurant at around 6:30, which was surprising since there was a crowd and a long line next door at the Japanese buffet. We were delighted to be seated quickly and immediately brought menus and water. We noticed the clean, open space with beautiful art and photos adorning the walls. The bar area is amazing, well stocked with some Indian beers too. Knowing we don't have big appetites, we wanted to share a main dish and get a few appetizers. The first appetizer was a serving of vegetarian Samosas. They were not too heavily breaded and filled with potatoes and peas. They were good, but I would have loved to see more vegetables inside. Also, I would have loved to have a choice between a veggie filling and a meat/chicken filling. Nonetheless, it was very satisfying. The sauces delivered with the dish were also delicious. For Dinner, we ordered a Shrimp Biryani. It was ample and delicious, but I would have preferred that the shrimp had not been deep-fried and that the tails had already been removed. Yet the flavors were so wonderful that my comments are merely suggestions. We also ordered Naan with cheese. This wasn't very pleasant since it appeared to be pita pockets sprinkled with cheese. It could have been better compared to the quality and flavor of the rest of the meal. We did eat it, and it was okay, but again, this is not what we expected. I gave this restaurant five stars because it's better than other Indian food restaurants in the area I had experienced; the prices per entree were fair and reasonable, and the flavors were sensational. My GF and I are already looking forward to our next visit. read more

All the food was delicious! We had the buffet, and there were a lot of vegetarian options, plus some fish options which I have not seen elsewhere on any other buffet. Fresh dosa was included! It has my new favorite dessert ever! read more

Deccan Spice - Delicious Indian buffer! - Indian Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

I love buffets so this one is one I have been eyeing for a while. Finally went in on a Saturday and the place was not too busy, but there were two large parties, one in the private room in the back and another one taking a large table in the main dining area. The service was really nice, the waiters and the people who help bus the tables were very attentive to cleaning up the empty plates. I have attached a bunch of pictures with some of the major items on the buffet...all of them have the written description on the photo. There were a lot of vegan items on the buffet, so anyone wanting to get vegetarian options, this is a good place for it. Most of the meat items were chicken and a few lamb dishes. The biryani had nice pieces of chicken (with bones) in it, and it was nicely spiced. The tandoori chicken was also very good, but my favorite was the Pepper Chicken, it was lightly fried with a nice medium spice level in it. The buffet was $26 and it included several dessert items as well. read more

The food here is delicious, authentic as ever and full of flavor. When I arrived to pick up my Uber Eats order, the restaurant was so packed. There were about 30 tables and they were all full.the place is spacious and well lit and delicious smells engulf the senses when you walk in. I timed my order carefully so it would be ready when i got to the area. When i got there however They told me my order wasn't ready yet, despite them marking it as prepared on the app. We waited about 20 extra minutes. When it finally came out and we were reviewing our order on the side before leaving, we decided to order more naan. They could have offered us this simple piece of bread as a gift since we waited so long but that's no biggie. It also took forever and then the staff was a little rude in handing it to us so i was a little irked which is why im not leaving the full 5 stars. But on to the food.. The butter chicken was so good, perfectly spicy with balanced flavors and thick sauce perfect for dipping our naan. The biryani was also amazing but they put the entire chicken drumstick in there, whereas normally it comes minced or at least pulled. The Dahl was really good too. Honestly the food is great and if you use Uber eats the biryanis are BOGO. maybe they were just a bit stressed with how busy the restaurant was. I didn't get any good food pics but everything on their menu is yummy. Cheers. read more

Set inside the Walmart shopping center, the Deccan Spice exterior is pretty nondescript; however the interior ambiance is a beautiful blend of contemporary design with old framed Indian photographs that look familial and historical. Pretty classy. Four of us went for the daily lunch buffet. The assortment is amazing, and you probably need 2 plate rounds if you want to try a bit of everything. My favorites were the chicken curry and the deep fried fish pieces. We were the only customers there for awhile so had to ask for naan to be made. They also took away the basmati rice for some reason. Indian buffet without basmati rice?! It's hard to find an Indian restaurant around here that offers midweek lunch buffet. We'd come back again. read more

Gorgeous ambience and amazing food! There were so many options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians! We went during the lunch rush and the waiter was very attentive! He told us that the buffet was the best bang for your buck vs choosing items A la carte, so decided to try the buffet! They buffet had great starts, main meals, and amazing dessert! I'm so glad we did! We went back for seconds or maybe even thirds! They had a blueberry mousse for dessert which was so unique and delicious! We will definitely be back! read more

Really cute place in the Walmart parking lot. Tasteful modern decor with a beautiful bar. Good service, although a bit lax and slow. Food was pretty darn good! Good flavor and combos. We asked for mild to accommodate my son's palette, and their mild was still kinda spicy for a child. Here is how the food stacked up: *Naan (we had regular and garlic) both delicious! *Chicken 65 - soooo good! Great flavor! *Vegetable fried rice - good flavor with mixed veggies and onions. *chicken tikka masala - good flavor with a good amount of the curry. Get extra naan to dip into the curry. *lamb hyderabadi korma - this I would skip, at least the lamb part. The curry itself was good, but the lamb had a ton of bones. Hard to eat. read more

Giving one star only for the good service. This is my first time getting food from here. I placed a take out order. The restaurant is in a huge shopping complex, so plenty of parking available. The ambiance looked really good! The staff was super nice and friendly. I ordered the Deccan special biryani, the biryani came with raita. Raita was decent but the biryani was so bad. I said spicy, but it was very bland. No spices or salt. Chicken wasn't cooked properly either. The rice was tasteless. Tasted stale as well. Won't go again. Wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I've been to many Indian restaurants and this place is on another level!

Highly recommend! read more
