It was delicious! I got the mango drink which was delicious! I will defiantly come back!

Came in for a quick dinner. Okra (bhindi) was unexpected in preparation but satisfyingly dry-not goopy with sauce!- and the dhal was tasty and subtly flavored. Not fiery hot to cater to calmer palettes perhaps but good food in and around the Berklee/Symphony Hall area. read more

I visit Mumbai Spice last night for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised how clean and inviting the place was. I was greeted as soon as as I walk in by a very friendly lady. She helped me choose a dish since I was not quite sure what I want. I order the Chana Masala and Garlic Naan to go... I honestly thought that the bread (naan) is going to be soggy and wet by the time I get home, but no... It was the delicious I mean very delicious.... Soft garlicky bread and slightly spicy chickpeas sauté with garlic, ginger, tomato's and spices... I highly recommend this place. read more

Food not that great...Very poor customer service First, ordered Vada Pav, Garlic Noodles N Jalebi Rabdi...not worth it....Second, server was not at al connected wit d table n din even bother to refill d water or ask for water...another surprising element was Gratuity which they added in bill with out your consent as upfront tip...Big NO NO....they need to understand d meaning of Gratuity...its a voluntary thing where customer voluntarily adds d tip n u don't add it by ur own... read more

Mediocre restaurant at the best, and that is me being generous. Beware of the total bill including a tip. Food quality was ok, small portions, bland flavor. The Frozen Indian food you get at the Indian supermarkets have more flavor! I also found it very dishonest in how they "sneak" in the gratuity tip in the bill without pointing it out. If we hadn't confirmed with the waitress, we would have ended up paying an additional 15% tip for a very crappy service. I would avoid this place if i could, and do NOT recommend at all. read more

Bad experience from food to service. The Hakka noodles tasted like bad Chinese take out without any flavor, the paneer was disappointing and the pav bhaji was anything but authentic. Overall would not come back. To add insult to the bad service, they added automatic gratuity to our bill when our party was only 2 people. Never seen that. read more

Fabulous! The food was delicious and the service was great. A great addition to the Boston restaurant scene! Highly recommend!

Was excited to try this place, as Indo-Chinese was fairly new to me. Ordered a "Not a Mojito," described as lemonade with ginger and mint syrup. It was so overly-sweet I had to dilute it with water before I could drink it. We had the vada pav, at my companion's recommendation, and it was great! I wouldn't thought a fried potato patty in a bun would be enjoyable, but with the cilantro chutney, it was. My companion also suggested the onion kulcha, which was also really tasty. As an entree, we shared the butter chicken, which was very, very bland, and had very little chicken in it. My companion was stlll hungry afterwards, and so ordered the chicken malai kebab, and I wished we'd ordered that in the first place. It was very flavorful and tender. I am willing to give this place another try, because some of the items we ordered were winners, and they have some interesting menu items that we didn't try. read more

Best chicken tikka and curry in the area. And the cheese naan is great! I come here all the time and will continue to whenever I'm in back bay. read more

Probably the best indian food around this area, service was really attentive, server was informative. Went there almost at the end of lunch hour, probably thats why it was almost empty. Food came out really fast. Overall a great place to have authentic indian cuisines. read more

See all

This place is quite overpriced for the bad quality of food that it has. It really had a lack of taste in all of the food that we got.

The food and service here is incred. I thought there were no good Indian restaurants in Boston but Mumbai spice convinced me that they truly have delicious food. I am very picky, especially with Indian food. This place was truly top notch. The Mumbai 65 was phenomenal. Even people who aren't fans of Indian food would love this place. read more

We waited awhile for our food, they had NO beef and NO brown rice at all. One person in my party ordered beef and they didn't come back to tell us they were out until 10 minutes after putting our order in. When our waitress brought over our food one was completely wrong and they insisted it was right. So we asked for cashews to make it a little closer to what was actually ordered and the waitress brings them over AND SPRINKLES THEM ON OUR FOOD WITH HER FINGERS. Disgusting. The food that was correct was pretty good but honestly I'm a little repulsed read more

The food tastes great and fresh! We ordered a Paneer Makhani and a Matar Paneer, with an order of garlic naan and another of cheese naan, and they were delicious and tasty! Giving 4 stars because of the drinks; we ordered a Cucumber Martini and one that ended with the word Mule (don't remember the full name), they were ok, nothing special. Definitely coming back! read more

Ick overly salty food--and I like salt! Seemingly loaded w calories-fat, grease and salt. I had the Indian variety but can't imagine the Chinese is much better. It's also extremely spicy without flavor. The service was fine. read more

Amazing food and great staff! Definitely get the chicken manchurian and karahi achari lamb!

This is a relatively new eating joint and a great one at that. I tried out this place on a friend's recommendation and this is a worthwhile place. They have a lot going on in terms of food choices. I tried their prawn curry which was delicious and there was a generous quantity of prawns in it which is really appreciated! I would definitely go back to try out other stuff too! read more

I would have given it a zero if the app allowed. We drove there for dinner and at 9:20 on a Sunday they say that they are closed where as everywhere it says the restaurants open till 10. read more

Horrible food. Plz try the frozen food that you get in the Indian store or trader joes and that's million times better than here.

Great Indian food, eg tikka & Vindaloo. Service friendly but slow, though on Sunday night.

Excellent Indian street food and vegetarian options. The okra crisp, sweet corn soup, tomato soup, malai kofta, onion kulcha and chai were all tasty and well made. Recommend especially those missing Indian street food that usually you find in New York or SF. read more

It strikes me that anyone saying the Indian food here is "good", has quite literally no idea what the word "good" means. "Bland," "gooey," "cheap," are likely some of the words they were trying to use instead, but I can assure you that "good" does not make the cut by any stretch of the imagination. Bland, gooey and cheap are even a few of the nicer words that come to mind when describing the lonely Chicken Tikka Masala that arrived at my doorstep from this restaurant today. That's right: Chicken Tikka Masala, folks. The standard Indian food dish - maybe millions ordered around the world every single day. Yet this restaurant has somehow discovered how to take all of the life, flavor, joy, and soul right out of this thing. Maybe it's even impressive if you think about it that way - bland Indian food...It's probably as hard to picture as it was to eat. Bottom Line: To be painfully clear, if you can help it, stay away. Even if you can't help it - find help - be strong and stay away. This thing will devastate you like it devastated me. There are at least 2 places (P.Palace and I.Quality) that have much better Indian food for about the same dent in your pocket. read more

My first visit, but definitely not my last! Delicious lettuce wraps, followed by Chicken Manchurian: tender chicken chunks in a pleasantly spicy sauce over basmati rice. The portions were nicely sized, and service was attentive, though unobtrusive. Prices are fair. This is a great addition to the Symphony Hall area! read more

We had vegetable manchurian, chilly chicken, singapore noodles, honey chilly potatoes. Food was pretty average. Honey chilly potatoes were nice, chilly chicken was ok and so were the noodles. The vegetarian manchurian was uncooked, slimy and had excess of corn starch. The management was really poor, they don't look trained or experienced. There was mismanagement and while there were tables empty waiting to be cleaned and given to the next batch of people, it took time good 15-20 minutes to do so. Go here if you REALLY crave for indo-chinese food. Better go to a Sichuan Chinese restaurant if you want some nice spicy chinese food. Won't go again, won't recommend. read more

Had paneer malai tikka and Mumbai special schezuan fried rice, was amazing and those two really go well together!! It's an Indian take on Chinese food which is true to what we get back in India so if you're into indo Chinese this is definitely the place for you! read more

meh. That is basically my experience with this restaraunt. Besides the fact that is ridiculously overpriced, the food is something I have tried really hard to like. I'm Indian and I am from New Jersey, which has a very densely populated Indian community so I have eaten my share of Indian food and at Indian restaraunts and I was expecting more. The indo chinese food was not very flavorful, and if it did have it flavor it was masked in the taste of garlic or hot sauce. Everything pretty much ended up tasting the same and the Punjabi food tasted like every other restaraunt's Punjabi food, nothing really special about it. read more

Unless you're desperate, avoid. This is below average, and you could probably do better with frozen food from Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. The dishes have zero taste. Surprisingly bad.... and, I've eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants across the US. read more

The food at Mumbai spice was decent. We stuck with the indian dishes in the menu - gobi65, vada pav, koftas, saag paneer, chicken hariyali and an assortment of breads. The problem was with the service - our water glasses were not filled until well after we were seated and served the drinks we ordered, half of our drink orders came in later than the other, the food was slow to come through. Not sure if this was because they were very busy (restaurant was full) or because our table was tucked into a corner (out of sight, out of mind). Our waiter was courteous but needed to be more educated on the menu. read more

Ordered butter chicken and curry shrimp and garlic naab! really good and delicious! i will definitely go there again!

I live really close to this resturant called Mumbai Spice it has some of the best indo-chinese dishes like chicken manchurian, chili chicken...and their desserts are on point...the jelebi rabri and malia kulfi falooda. I gave 5 stars good food and amazing service read more

Food is overrated and beware of getting charged more than you pay! They included gratuity in the bill. I got overcharged and called them and despite letting them know, the extra charge wasn't reverted. read more

Big Mistake! Ordered takeout for family birthday: 5 minute walk from restaurant. Ordered saag (paneer & chicken), chicken tikka masala, malai kofta, pakoras & kulchas. asked for tamarind & mint chutneys. Brought food home - no chutneys! Saags were the the worst I've ever tasted (I recommend the Trader Joe's version in a microwave for a better dish). Chicken Tikka masala was mostly sauce w/ a few measly pieces of chicken. Malai kofta was the most unrefined of a potentially nice recipe that was left to unresplendent deep fried veggie balls in a sauce. And both the sauces of the m. kofta and masala were cold. (So we could have done take away from Trader Joes....) AVOID THIS PLACE - read more

You are a disgrace to biriyani. Colored white rice is what you're selling for 15 dollors. And don't get me started on the chicken which you most likely bolied in plain water before you added to your colred rice. The worst. How are you still in business? read more

Absolutely terrible customer service! I called for takeout and the staff said to come by in 20min. I arrived at the restaurant 25min later. I was told they were "quite busy" so I'd have to wait 10 more min. I agreed and waited another 15 -20 min. Then I got the same response, apparently they were still "quite busy" even though I could see empty tables. I canceled my order and went elsewhere. I've been to this place several times before but this is the worst experience ever! Will not come back any time soon. read more

The food is delicious! Indian food can't get any better in boston! Chicken fried rice and chicken chilly are out of this world!

I have been to Mumbai Spice a few times. I wouldn't say the food is bad but it's not the best. The service was the worst. We were simply told we could not eat there because we did not have a reservation. After requesting them and waiting for over 30 mins we were given a table. No one came to take our order for a long time. The food is okay. If you really want to eat their food order take out or delivery. 3 stars for food 0 for service. read more

We have been ordering from here since September and have spent close to $1000 in the past 4 months (we eat A LOT of Indian food). We asked for raw onions on the side as we always do at Indian restaurants and the guy handing us the food accused us of trying to get onions for free. We explained that there is no where on the app to place it the order and when we have put it in the comments section it has been ignored. We would GLADLY pay for some sliced onions, but there is NOWHERE on the app to do so. The man was rude, disrespectful, and condescending, so my husband said he was questioning the integrity of a US Service member and he said "I don't give a shit who you are". We said that he is going to lose our business and the guy said he did not care. Never in our lives would we image a restaurant accusing a customer of trying to rip them off over 25 cents worth of onions! Also worth noting, we have since gone to a new Indian restaurant and asked for sliced onions. We offered to pay and they said they don't charge for that. read more

Horrible. Went for a friends birthday. Saw that they had a student discount and was intrigued. Upon entering the decor was all over the place. Mason gars seemed quite out of place. The service was slow and impersonally, the serve not even introducing herself. We ordered and waited quiet a while for our food. It was mediocre at best. Later than night my friend and I felt sick. We ordered very basic meals with chicken. Long story short. I ended up puking all night long. Will never return. read more

Good Indian food for all the Indians out here and Americans if they want to try Indian food. 1 vegetable and 1 naan is enough for 2. Must try Cheers. Enjoy ;) read more

pathetic service. I work close by & went for a pick up . They told me 20 mins. but I needed up waiting for more than 50 mins. for my order. The reason the arrogant server gives me is that they are too busy serving the customers in the restaurant & that its not her hands for what he cook decided to cook first. I mean it was the most ridiculous thing they could say! The server showed so much of attitude while giving away my food that I'm never ever going there again. Food taste was ok & nothing great too. read more
