The food was absolutely delicious. My chicken tikka masala was the best I've ever had. Everything I ordered was great. While this was my first visit, it won't be my last. We live nearly two hours away, but cannot wait to come back. The restaurant was comfortable, if a little snug, but we had plenty of room. I have a very low tolerance for extreme spiciness, but I may try the next step up the spice latter the next time. The service was unassuming and friendly, and we were greeting with genuine watch and kindness. Highly recommend! read more

Wow! The food was so flavorful. The restaurant was very clean and well decorated and the staff were so sweet. This is going to be our go to moving forward read more

My fiancée and I came here on a weeknight for a casual dinner. The service was decent, and the food itself was actually very good. However, when we got the bill, we were shocked to see that we had been charged nearly $20 just for soda. We both ordered Diet Cokes and each had two throughout the meal. Being charged per drink for soda to the point that four Diet Cokes totaled almost $20 is honestly ridiculous, especially considering we were never told refills were charged separately. Like 99% of restaurants, we assumed soda refills were free. Our order was very simple: a small appetizer, naan, two entrées, and four Diet Cokes (one each before the entrée with our appetizer and one each during the meal), yet the total came to $79 before tip. For what you're actually getting, the pricing feels extremely unreasonable. The food may be good, but it's not good enough to justify prices like that. Unfortunately, the overall value just isn't there, which is why I'm leaving a two-star review. read more

Me and my family had 4 different curries and 3 rice dishes everything was absolutely perfect and amazing I can tell hard work and attention were put into the curries they were not over spiced and I have nothing bad to say about them. The waitress was also the sweetest girl ever she had the star stickers on her face she made it an amazing experience too read more

Very hospitable, great service, and kind people. The food always smells great even outside the building and tastes just as good! They make sure you are satisfied and even go out their way just for the little things for you to enjoy your service. The waiter I had noticed the lights were just a bit too bright for me and went out his way to turn it down just to create a better calming vibe which I appreciated very much. read more

Stopped in here on a Friday night. Got Seated right away. Took the waitress a while to greet us and then after ordering a drink at the bar, waited for about 15 minutes for our beer. The food was excellent. I ordered the chicken Kadai with medium spice. The dish had good flavors and the sauce Was just the right spiciness. All the naan was good and paired well with the dish. There were 4 different types of bread included in the basket. It was nice to taste all of them, as you can order them a la carte. Overall was a good experience, just needs a little quicker service:) read more

We've been here four times since they opened. I've always started with the spicy gobi manchurian (which is absolutely delicious), but mixed my entree orders each time. Everything has been excellent. Good portions too. My wife is kind of a picky eater, she had Indian food maybe a time or two in the 25years we've been together. She now craves Indian Spice after one dinner with me. We've lived in Pickerington 15years but will be moving soon...its crazy but this restaurant ( I've been to four times ) is THE ONLY thing in town I will really miss once we move away. read more

First time in, we tried the buffet and the food was good but some dishes were cold. The server completely ruined my experience. Shoved in front of me in while I was in line to add more naan without an "excuse me", and then actually completely full force bodied me trying to pass by me between tables. Somehow messed up cashing us out too, had to run my card twice and was pretty rude through the whole interaction like I did something wrong. Bizarre vibe there but otherwise the food and restaurant itself were okay enough. read more

Newer to Pickerington, Indian Spice has established itself as one of the top places in town. Decent seating space. tiny booths so if you prefer a little wiggle room, I'd recommend a table. Our first go round, service was a bit slow as they quickly became overwhelmed with heavy crowds. Rightsizing the staff to meet demand is sure to help. Food is delicious. Fantastic naan, one of the best Tikka Masala's that I have had. The deal is the buffet. I have never personally been, but they offer a buffet on t he weekends. the beauty of this is that for one price you have the opportunity to try various dishes. read more

Cute little place but the service was an absolute miss. We waited at least 15 minutes to even be waited on (at the bar). I watched him pour the grey goose and it was just a bit over half a shot (former bartender I know my counts). The Tikka Masala was flavorful and really good. A bit on the sweet side but still good. The garlic Naan was yummy. Definitely not as good as Sargum in Reynoldsburg but still good. I still believe Sargum is the best Indian food in the city!! read more

Whether it's takeout or dine in I always have a great experience here! Food is some of the best Indian food I've had and I'm glad they are in town! My family and I will be back for sure! Service is always good and food is always fresh! Not to mention the inside is always clean read more

This is the best place to open in Pickerington in the last 5 years. We ordered take out- chicken tikamasala, lamb saag, and tandoori chicken breast. We got home And they forgot the lamb saag!! I called and let them know about it, and guess what... they were apologetic and quickly remade the entree AND delivered to my house!!!! Within about 30 minutes. They made a great first impression with price, taste, and personal customer care. My bowels are in trouble. read more

Excellent Indian Food. I've tried 2 different plates so far. Won't be disappointed!!

My kids went to Indian Spice a week ago and told me it was really good. They have a weekend buffet. I sampled just about everything. Goat curry, lamb kabobs, chicken curry, masala, and biryani. Delightful samosas, paneer, potato dishes, and a lovely selection of chutneys and sauces. The wait staff was attentive and sweet. Price point was under 20$ with tip. I'll be back read more

The food is wondetful! I've been here twice: once for the lunch buffet and once for dinner. Both times the food was tasty! With the dinner I was pleased that I could dial up the spice a little extra, the buffet spice level was a little tame for my liking. read more

Excellent restaurant! Customer service and excellent food quality, a must place to goto if in town. You will not be disappointed

Great food, sweet staff and superb customer service. The restaurant is a nice size and always clean.

I'm always on the lookout for good Indian food. and Indian Spice is a winner. There's been a boom in recent years of Indian food in the Reynoldsburg/Pickerington area, which I've been happy to take advantage of. I ordered Chicken Malabar and Lamb Biryani, with Kashmiri naan (which is basically dessert to me - stuffed with raisins and nuts, maybe coconut too?). All were excellent. One of my issues with many Indian restaurants' approach to biryani is a tendency to emphasize the volume of rice in proportion to the protein, but that wasn't a problem here. I like the looks of the rest of their menu, too (uncommon offerings like goat sukha) so I definitely need to make a repeat visit to do a deeper dive. read more

Service was great. Got a mango lhassi as well which was delicious. Oddly the chicken tikka masala (heat level 6) was nearly as sweet as the mango lhassi. I've never had a sweet tokka masala before. It was good (sort of), but I wouldn't order it again. read more

Indian Spice Restaurant and Bar - Basmati, garlic naan and chicken tikka masala - Indian Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

The food is outstanding--each dish bursts with bold, well-balanced flavors. The ingredients taste incredibly fresh, and the attention to detail in the preparation is evident. This restaurant is a must-visit and has made it to the top 5 places we eat. It stands out because it's not one of too many franchises, which are dumbed down. This restaurant promises a dining experience that is outstanding as it is delicious. Prepare to embark on a journey that connects every flavor to a story, a dream, a vibrant colorful journey. read more

Nice place, Authentic Indian food, individualised entry prep, not same gravy used in every prep like many restaurants, service is great , highly recommend! read more

I've been hearing a lot of great things about Indian Spice so I was very excited to get takeout for my parents and I to try. Needless to say we were not disappointed at all! We ordered the Chicken Kadai, Chicken Tikka Masala (my favorite), and the Lamb Vindaloo plus some naan bread. All the curries we ordered medium spice. I love a spicy and sour vindaloo so I may want to try it as spicy next time. Everything was so flavorful and we enjoyed every bite. Although I haven't dined in, the restaurant was very nice inside and lively with all the customers there for the lunch buffet. I'd be interested to dine in sometime and capture pictures of the curry in dishes! My parents and I are so happy that there is a great curry spot in Pickerington so that we don't have to drive far now! I look forward to telling everyone how amazing my first experience was :) read more

This is one of the best meals that we've had, not just in Columbus, but anywhere! We had heard that this place was around, but we weren't exactly sure where. We were bemused to find this restaurant in a location that has had many tenants over the years, but we were blown away at the quality of this place! When we entered, we were asked whether we wanted the buffet or main menu. We didn't even know that the buffet was an option. Not only that, they invited us to look over their buffet before we decided! How cool is that? We opted for the main menu just to get a good idea of what was available. We were very impressed at just the quality of the menu! The menu was very descriptive and easy to read! So many options to choose from too! We opted to try the samosas, bread basket, and a chicken curry and goat kadai. We ended up getting the carrot pudding for dessert. Every single item we had was absolutely PHENOMENAL! We have eaten at Chef Maneet Chauhan's restaurant, and this restaurant could have been run by one of her sous chefs! The staff here is attentive, kind, and warm! We even felt comfortable enough to ask them how to properly eat Indian cuisine! The restaurant is clean, and the professionalism by everyone was astounding! We were even quite pleased by the quality of the take home containers when we couldn't finish the amazing food! If there was one critique that I'd give, is that the music was a bit loud for my liking, and it somewhat adds a bit of unnecessary noise to the ambiance here. We will definitely be back here, and we hope that this restaurant is here to stay! What a revelation this place was! If you want to experience Indian food the way that it is meant to be experienced, and use all of your senses while doing it, you simply must come here! read more

First time ordering from Indian Spice. Everything was delicious! I will be back. I am so glad to learn that there is a great indian restaurant near me!!!! read more

This is such an excellent restaurant! We're been there many times and it has always been good! The staff is very attentive. Food is wonderful! The decor is pleasant, though large AI generated posters cover the walls, I'll forgive them that! Great place for a celebration, a casual dinner, or for carryout. read more

Tried out this new restaurant for lunch. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious Indian food. Had samosa, garlic naan, chicken palak and chicken chettinad. The server had a little trouble taking our order on the device she was using, but it's a new place so they're probably still working out the kinks. We will be back! read more

I usually like to come here bc I thought the food was pretty good until today where I experienced unnecessary attitude and hateful behavior from the customer I should have know it was going to be a problem when the employee was just sighing on the phone why I placed my to go order I asked for two orders and naan the order was repeated I assumed things were in order I go to pick up my order and was bombarded with awkward stares not sure being black was a issue bc it wasn't before I check my order realized what I asked for wasn't there and the kicker I was cha for it bc it was a price difference when I asked for the extra item (which wasn't a issue I was prepared to pay for it) but the way she thru her little machine at me as if I was a issue pmo i thought fine I just won't come back no it's was the entitled white woman who thought she had room to comment on the situation that had nothing to do with her and things got worse from there I've been a customer there multiple times thru DoorDash Ive even bee in person to patron the bar but today will be the VERY last time I ever spend money at an establishment that can't show basic human decency to ALL customers not just the ones they want to be adjacent to and will never will be read more

Indian Spice is a newly opened restaurant in Pickerington and the first dedicated Indian spot in the area, unlike the many Nepali places that serve Indian dishes. We visited during a weekday lunch, and it wasn't busy. The vibe was pleasant, and the host was friendly. Food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, and while the taste was good, it wasn't amazing--but we'll definitely return to explore more of the menu. Portion sizes felt more like a high-end restaurant, which worked for us since we're not big eaters. The bar looked great, though we opted for a table. The interior design and decor were impressive, adding to the experience. This seems like a must-try spot, and we're curious to see how it holds up on a second visit. Based on the three items we tried, the flavors leaned a bit mild, but we'll see! read more

The food here is great. I order every time I'm in the area. The only thing I fe is missing from the menu is aloo matar.

Service was fast and friendly. Good food. I ordered the curry chicken heat 1 for hubby and 4 for me. They tasted the same.

First time trying Indian food-it was excellent!! Great experience! Great service. Can't wait to come back

I'm very picky with my Indian food and absolutely love Tiki Masala and was amazing. Reminded me of and Indian restaurant back home in Florida that's amazing. Highly recommend, friendly staff! read more

I ordered the chicken tikki Marsala and it was very flavorful and packed full with tender cubes of chicken breast. I ordered on DoorDash so that's an even better experience. We can't wait to try the restaurant. read more

What a great way to try something new. Absolutely friendly staff!!! Fantastic food!!! Tried new things and found some favorites

Absolutely amazing!! The food, spices, heat levels.. everything was perfect and authentic. I can not remember the last restaurant that left me completely satisfied and yearning to return. We got there just as they were closing from lunch (didn't notuce the hours posted on the door) but they welcomed us in and were very attentive. Atmosphere is quiet, beautifully decorated and cozy. This will definitely be a go to when we're in the area. read more

What a gem! Great food and service. Have been there twice now and can't wait to go again. Dishes are authentic and flavorful!

The food was absolutely amazing and authentic. As I have traveled to India this brought back memories. Highly recommends

We tried this new Indian restaurant today and it was delicious! The atmosphere is beautiful! Brand new, super clean, lovely decor. Very posh looking environment! Top notch service. We ordered the medium spiced Chicken Tikka Masala , medium spiced Dal Makhani, and the mild spiced Chicken Korma. All fabulous! The Chicken Tiki Masala was a tomato based creamy sauce with an amazing combination of spices and creaminess. This was sweet and savory. Amazing . Medium spice was perfect for me, it had a small kick but was not too spicy at all. This was very similar to butter chicken/ chicken Makhani at other places . The Chicken Korma was an onion based sauce with cashews and raisins. This was creamy and lots of aromatic spice. This was very savory and not as creamy as the tikka masala, but still delicious. It was a stronger aromatic flavor. The Dal Makhani had a wonderful flavor. It was not as creamy as I imagined because it's a makhani sauce. It was more brownish and not orange, but was still delicious and full of flavor. The chili garlic naan bread was delicious, fresh, crispy on the edges, soft in the middle. Perfect. Onion Bhajis were great. Like crispy little onion pedals with a few sauces to dip them in. Great flavors. I highly recommend this new restaurant. I feel this is the best Indian restaurant in our area if not Columbus altogether! We are super pleased and can't wait to return. This will definitely be our go to place . Well done Indian Spice!! We highly recommend!! read more
