There wasn't a wait when we stepped into the restaurant so we got seated immediately. The servers were friendly and nice when taking our order. My friend was saying the naan was a bit undercooked when served but other than that the rest of the food was tasty and delicious. read more

Amazing restaurant!! Met the owner and she was so hospitable! Will definitely come visit again when I'm back in Boston!

For a Friday lunch I stopped by Mumbai Spice, having noticed their small section of Indo-Chinese food. The establishment was almost empty at noon. I ordered the lunch special, Chicken Manchurian ($18). It took 15 minutes to arrive, a bit longer than I expected, but otherwise inconsequential. The Chicken Manchurian came with chicken in a brown sauce (imagine a thick Chinese soy-sauce based pan sauce with some Indian herbs), vegetarian fried rice, one egg roll, and soup. The egg roll and fried rice were inoffensive. The soup seemed a touch earthy, reminiscent of middle eastern lentil soup, albeit saltier. The Chicken Manchurian could have used more Indian spices. The heat came through well, but the spices seemed muted. Overall, I think the lunch special offers a decent variety at the price point (these days). It doesn't satisfy my craving for Indo-Chinese as much as I would like, however. read more

Stopped by here before going to a concert at the BSO and it was a great place to grab dinner. We were seated within 5 min after getting there. They have tables for 1-2 people and a decent amount of space that can accommodate larger parties by combining tables together. When I went, it seemed the restaurant was a bit short-staffed, but we still had great service! We were able to place our order pretty quickly and while the food took a bit longer to come out than normal, the server was so kind in coming up to give us updates and re-fill our water. The ambiance is also great, so I didn't mind a bit of a wait with the beautiful decor and warm atmosphere! We tried the hakka noodles with vegetables and then had Tikka Masala with lamb. Both were fantastic and add in the potato naan and it was *chef's kiss.* Servings were sharable and we felt there was plenty of food for 2 people! read more

Great little restaurant right with both indoor and covered patio seating. They're running a promo right now for a free mango lassi if you show student ID. The chicken tikka masala and shrimp curry were both delicious and can be made not spicy. The vegetable samosas were crispy and came with 3 dipping sauces. The food takes a while to come out but the wait is worth it read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. My friend and I waited forever to be seated while the staff kept sitting other groups ahead of us -- all of them white. When we were finally seated, we had to ask for water even though every other table was being served right away. After waiting over an hour, our food never even arrived. Meanwhile, the white couple who came in after us got their food quickly, smiling and laughing with the same staff who ignored us. This place clearly doesn't care about people of color. The attitude, the disregard, the obvious favoritism -- it's disgusting. Do NOT waste your time or money at Mumbai Spice. There are plenty of restaurants that actually treat all customers with basic respect. read more

Been a few years since I have visited here. Was going to a concert at Symphony Hall and needed a bite to eat. We were sat promptly, told them server we needed to do done by 7:15. First shout out to the server, she was amazing. She was polite, helpful and made sure the meal moved along. We had pakora and naan for appetizers. Both very tasty. For entrees I had the chick peas and spinach and she had a lamb curry dish. Both were perfectly seasoned and the portions, large. The ambiance in the restaurant is very relaxed and efficient. As before if you are in the area, make a reservation and enjoy the food. read more

Been here a few times now sometimes with the hubs and sometimes in a bigger group of friends. Good experience every time! Ambiance is nice and they even have a cute outdoor seating in summer and even today when it's a balmy 50 degrees in December! Service is always friendly. I've ordered the pav bhaji multiple times and did so today. I've also had the chicken biryani which the hubs ordered today - it comes with a side of raita. We also ordered the tandoori chicken lollipops. Now these were amazing!!! Omg they were crispy on the outside perfectly juicy and tender on the inside. Really really great! The hubs and I just ate these one after the other and polished them off the plate in no time! Get these if you go for sure!!! They have a number of Indo-Chinese dishes have yet try those although the hubs tried the Hakka noodles before. I wish they'd have South Indian dishes like masala dosa, idli and vada sambar- hint hint restaurant!! Great location right near Symphony- we can walk here usually after gym at the Huntington Y across the street. Go here if you haven't already :) read more

Was not too busy when we went on a Saturday night so we got seated immediately! And the waitresses were all really patient and friendly The food took awhile to come but maybe it was just because I was really hungry Presentation of the food was very cool! Little metal pots which look small but are quite filling. And they keep your food warmer for longer :) I got the chicken korma and it was nice warm and savory, and very tender large chunks of chicken! The garlic naan though that we got I wish had been a bit more buttery, less dry, and more garlicky Overall solid meal though and left waaaay too full read more

I didn't feel the food was tasty and they came literally came so late to get the order, the person who took the order was nice but it's not her fault. Also the fried rice tasted so awful and I didn't like it at all and not coming back here! read more

We ordered chole bhature, chicken 65 dry, Hakka noodles, dhai poori chaat, and paneer biryani. The first four dishes were absolutely incredible. They were so flavorful and delicious. They had the perfect amount of spices and were amazing. Our only big issue was biryani. It was disgusting and sour for some reason. Was a lot more like pulao than biryani. The server was really nice about this though and offered to switch our dish for the dhai puri. Amazing service and handled the situation nicely. There was no one else in the restaurant. read more

Vague memory from eating there years ago - I thought the food was well-made, with really pointed flavors that worked well together, and good heat on the dishes. A more recent visit, had the Hakka stir-fry noodle which was less successful; the noodles were both too salty and too sweet ... it tasted like typical lo mein at local Chinese restaurant. Then the chicken tikka masala was more decent ... nice bits of chicken ensconced in a creamy tomato sauce. I would have liked more complexity of flavors in the dish but it was solid. Great accompanying chutneys including a mint ... the lunch special comes with some plain Naan which is hot and chewy. read more

Nice server. Clean restaurant. Sometimes Indian restaurants can be a little dodgy. Had Tandoori Tikka and a cucumber salad and buttered Naan. The cucumber salad was too spicy and I love spice. Tandoori was good. Good portion. read more

The food seems overpriced for the portion sizes, however they were not bad in taste. We ordered a variety of sauces to dip our naan into, but it didn't seem like anything we couldn't get at the grocery store. The restaurant space itself was mid-sized, and the staff were kind to us! read more

I'm torn between a 3 or 4 star review, but I'll give them the benefit of doubt and go with the higher one. We were really looking forward to some indo-chinese food and that's how we came across Mumbai Spice. They deliver via Uber Eats. Mumbai Spice was still open (around 7 pm). It took over an hour for the food to be delivered, but that's alright. We got the veggie fried rice, the vegetable manchurian gravy, and schezwan potatoes. When we opened the containers, we were very surprised by the potato dish. As you see in the image, it included curry leaves! I'm quite certain they sent us something like potato 65 (which is not even on their menu!) instead of schezwan. However, there was no note with the order that they substituted our dish, which was even more strange. Anyway, the dish lacked salt, so all you could taste was the chili powder, so we didn't really enjoy it. But the fried rice and the gravy from the vegetable manchurian really hit the spot, it was very similar to the tastes back home and what we were expecting. The veggie ball in the manchurian could have been better, but that's a small factor. Overall, I'd try them again when I'm wanting some indo-chinese cuisine. I wouldn't order the potatoes but maybe go for a different dish like chili paneer! read more

Superb, some of the best Indian food I've ever had for a fair price. We ordered the chicken biryani and tiki masala.

Simply amazing North Indian sweetish entrees, best starters from Mumbai. The bits of cuisine is from almost every part of India. Loved the suggestions and service was so pleasant with cozy and well light space. Just make sure to ask the servers, according to your palette - they will guide you the best. If you take my suggestion, I think you can rename some items as - Cozy hot chai Samosa yummy Chaat, Melty Tandoori pieces Sexy speciality Bhindi Rose fell in LOVE ice cream Can't wait to see you guys soon!!! read more

Mumbai Spice is a new favorite for me! I've been here twice now, the first time I got chicken biryani and the second time I got chicken tikka masala, butter naan, and samosas. The biryani was slightly had a lot of spices; the yogurt sauce helped cut through that taste and was a good combination. The bowl looked small at first but I had plenty of leftovers to last me another a meal. The tikka masala was even better. It wasn't spicy at all but had a nice creamy flavor, and was amazing with rice and warm butter naan. The samosas were so delicious! I'm craving them right now just remembering them. I also had leftovers from this meal too. My only complaints are that the meat is a little sparse in these dishes, and the restaurant charges an automatic gratuity on tables of 2 and above. These aren't dealbreakers though and I will definitely return to try more menu items. read more

The restaurant staff is nice, and the cauliflower dishes are not bad, but most other items are not worth the price. Yes the cost of their items is atrocious ... they charge 15 bucks for a few pieces of spiced cauliflower, and 12 bucks for one piece of vada paav!! If they were a Michelin star, that maybe ok. Importantly, do watch out for their bills, they add a tip even for a party of two. And the receipt mentions a list of tips with % so the customer will have no clue the tip has already been added and will add even more. They are able to get away with this kind of atrocity thanks to the poor student population in Boston that do not have better choices. read more

This is a tale of two restaurants. I went to eat with my daughter. The sign outside the door says their Indo - China food is the best so I tried the Manchurian. The flavor was very mediocre to bad. The waitress recommended lamb and it was very gristly. My daughter had chicken tikka masala and loved it. We both really enjoyed the paani poori. In fact I had to use the spicy tangy water from the paani poori to add flavor to the Manchurian. Also surprising is the dining fee. It's unclear whether it's a flat $7.95 or 10% of the bill, because it doesn't provide any details on your check. I asked about it and they said it was because they did not raise their prices since Covid. I think they should just increase the prices on their menu rather than stick on an extra, unexpected charge. Overall, I would give them three stars, but my daughter said five stars, so this review reflects a compromise and is four stars. read more

Good Indian and Indo-Asian food. Enjoyed the mix of dishes we ordered. Everything arrived hot and freshly made. Loved the Chicken Tikka and the spicy noodles. Recommended for a tasty and delivery! read more

I thought that Mumbai Spice was really good! I went in on a Saturday night and got seated right away. First of all, the waitress was SO SWEET. She was so happy to serve us and help us find drinks and dishes that we would like. Definitely the best service I've experienced in a while. For the price, you get a good amount of food, and my boyfriend and I left feeling happy and full. For drinks, we got the boozy mango lassi and tamarind martini. Both were delicious and I would recommend. As for food, we got the peshawary naan, which had a sweet component to it and was very very good. We also got the Andra Hariyali with chicken and Tikka Masala with chicken. Both were really good and had a ton of flavor to them. I personally loved the Andra Hariyali though. It came with rice which was very much appreciated. If you are in the symphony/northeastern area and like Indian food, I would urge you to go here as it's a really convenient place to get some solid Indian food!! read more

Came here with a friend one Tuesday around 6pm. It was pretty empty and quiet, so we got a seat as soon as we entered. They offer hand sanitizer and the place seemed pretty clean. I ordered the Chana Masala and my friend got the Chicken Tikka Masala. We split a Garlic Naan. They gave us one large serving of rice - personally, I would've preferred being given two separate rice bowls because it was a struggle to scoop rice onto our individual plates with our spoons. The garlic naan was great! The Chana Masala was flavorful and full of spices. The waiter there was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed during our meal. I enjoyed the attentive service here. They have Indo-Chinese food on their menu, which looked interesting so I might be back to try that one day! read more

1/10 - tasted like they might've used bad yogurt:bad onion. Did not finish platter (or what was on plates). Would not recommend dish or restaurant also ordered 2 entrees, which come with their own rice dishes but were only served with one rice. Upon asking was told that had two orders of rice, however it was not even enough rice for one person, we were clearly not given the right serving even upon asking. read more

Mumbai Spice was my first indoor dining experience since the COVID pandemic hit the world. With respect to food, not a bad place to move towards the new normal. For those of you driving into the Symphony area, the restaurant validates parking for a short time period in the nearby Whole Foods garage (may want to verify before you go). Water was brought to the table in pitchers for self-serve by guests. My friends and I ordered a few appetizers to share. All of the appetizers we tried (vegetable pakoras, samosas, and chicken kebabs) were on par with the other Indian restaurants I've tried in the Boston area. The chicken kebabs have a good citrus marinade. I ordered the chicken biryani for my entree. Note that the size of the bowl is deceiving - there is more biryani than you would expect. The dish was extremely tasty - the biryani had a nice default level of heat and had a lot of tender pieces of boneless chicken. The biryani is garnished with a hardboiled egg on top and is served with a size of raita. The staff got upset when we asked for separate checks at the end of the meal, so the best we could do was divide the bill evenly into 4 at the end of the meal. So remember to mention separate checks if you want to pay that way at the beginning of the meal. Service during the meal was pretty good though - not too long of a wait for the food and the server gave good recommendations for what to order. read more

Four of us dined at Mumbai spice the other night, and it was a fabulous meal. The food is beautifully prepared and very tasty and the quality of ingredients was great. The service was also terrific and one family member named Sri was just lovely, helpful, and provided fantastic service. My husband is a lover of Indian food and believes this is the best Indian food he has ever eaten and I would agree as well. I recommend this restaurant highly!!! read more

Normally I ignore negative reviews for being too critical but this time I should've listened. The food was very mediocre, and the gobi manchurian was truly one of the worst dishes I've ever had at an indian restaurant. On top of that, they charge a 7% fee for "dine in experience", which is crazy because it was 90 degrees outside and their AC was broken?! The only redeeming quality was their service, as the waitresses were nice and prompt. I definitely would recommend you take your business elsewhere. read more

I ordered via Uber eats last night and I am terribly disappointed with the order. I ordered chicken lollipop and chole bhatura. Firstly, I got four tandoori drumsticks instead of the "fried chicken wings". Why pass something else and fool a customer? Secondly, I didn't find chole in the order. It was quite unfortunate that I was stuck in an emergency till midnight that I couldn't dispute this over call. I'd appreciate honesty and have the order canceled instead of a disappointing meal. read more

We came in at 6pm. The staff assistant us in selecting stuff. We ordered the mango lassi, veggie Biryani, Chicken Chettinad and Papadum. The Mango tasted like a smoothie. It was delicious and sweet. The Veggie Biryani was packed with spices and seasoning. The Chicken Chettinad was so flavorful and spicy. We used naan bread to dip the sauce. The Papadum was okay with the two dips that was included. Definitely worth a shot read more

Quick, friendly service, nice ambience, and delicious Indian food! There aren't too many great Indian restaurants in Boston, but we were pleased to visit the Mumbai spice and found the food to be tasty. Favorite vegetarian dishes from the items we tried: Malai Kofta, Pani Poori, Indochinese Fried Rice Other items we had were hakka noodles, okra dish, Paneer skewers Drinks were also tasty! I especially enjoyed the tamarind martini, my husband enjoyed the lycheetini. read more

This was the first Indo-Chinese food place I went to in Boston. We got the chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma, a basket of naan and mango lassis. The garlic NAAN was AMAZING and the best part of that meal. The other food was good and substantial so I was full by the end of the dining experience. The outdoor dining setting is nice and should be utilized. However, the overall dining experience was significantly influenced by the staff. The staff was not friendly and the entire time we felt like we were being a bother simply for dining in and should leave ASAP. Overall, the food is good, the naan is great but do not expect it to be authentic. The staff does not and will not even try to pretend that they care about you. read more

TLDR: where else can you get Indo Chinese? Nice little Indian place along mass ave. Prices are fairly comparable to other Indian restaurants. Menu has all your favorites like garlic naan, but you also get slightly more hard to get favorites like chicken Manchurian and other Indo Chinese foods. Interior is nice and clean and I think everything is halal. read more

So this is one of the few good South Asian 'Halal' places in Boston area. Food taste is good and the place is very much accessible by public commute. Bus and T both works. The place is great for their Indo-Chinese cuisine. Me and my friends go there all the time when we want some non American 'Indo-Pak' Chinese style food. Chicken fried rice, chicken Manchurian and aloo papri chaat are great. The ambiance is good too. Service staff is very helpful and friendly. Must try it out! read more

Contemporary setting, friendly staff, a cricket match on the TV behind the bar all make for a pleasant start to your meal. First the negatives, portions were a bit small, food took a little while to come out (with not an overly crowded house) and the Samosas were a tad dry. However, the high food quality, freshness, flavorfulness, and deliciousness of everything else more than made up for the slight negatives. Could have been the best Masala sauce I've ever had (and I've had dozens and dozens). My wife's shrimp curry was completely on point with the perfect amount of heat, flavor that burst in her mouth and monster sized shrimp Naan and garlic naan were warm, crunchy and delicious Condiments and side sauces were distinct and exceptional- basmati rice was cooked perfectly They have a serious chef behind them - not your cookie cutter, stock, Indian food Really a 4.5 read more
