The food was incredible. Bold, spicy, and packed with rich flavor. Everything was perfectly cooked and clearly made with care. If it's your first time having Indian food, start with mild or medium. Though even medium brings real heat and will humble you in the best way. That's exactly how it's supposed to be! The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to. read more

Nice cozy place. Friendly service . We got bao bun, chilly fish and tandoori chicken. Fish was spicy and hot. Bao bun at an Indian place is a novel idea. Tandoori chicken was good read more

Went back with a friend to try a couple different dishes and we're not disappointed. Lamb chops were perfect and remember to put some mint chutney on them. Delhi butter chicken was perfect for those that are dipping their toe into Indian food or want a mild tomatoey chicken dish that kids will enjoy. The Desai goat curry was my favorite. Delicious curry but I wish some of the goat pieces were more tender. Can't wait to go back and try more items off the menu. read more

New Hope Spice Lover - Kerala Wings - Indian Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

Simple, no frills Indian restaurant in New Hope. I'm surprised to find an Indian restaurant here and it was overall really good. We had two curries with a sweet naan and mango lassi - they are tasty. Price is a bit high for what it is, but we enjoyed the dinner. We however did see some bugs close to the walls so that might be something the business can look into. Service was simple and brief, overall good read more

Authentic Indian food, spicy served steaming hot by a friendly server! Casual vibe. Great value. Vegetarian entrees! read more

New Hope Spice Lover - Tandoori chicken, Eggplant Bharta, raita, naan, mango lassi - Indian Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

New Hope Spice Lover on Bridge Street, New Hope, is a six table Indian restaurant that makes up for its small space with oversized flavor. Be prepared for intense curry, chili, turmeric and other south Asian spices, because when the chef asks how hot do you want it, he means it literally. There is no downgrade of the heat quotient for western tongues. You get the original intensity without American dilution. Our meal consisted of the following: * Appetizers: *Lasooni Gobi - Garlicy Chinese/Indian crisp cauliflower. Excellent * Kachori Chaat - Puffed pastry stuffed with "moong dai" and topped with mix of chutney, onion, tomato, yogurt and sev. Unusually flavorful. *Vegetarian: *Malai Kofta - veggie balls in mild cream sauce and cashews. Easy to like. * Non Veggie: Chicken Korma - mild creamy beautiful orange sauce. Delicious. * Lamb Chops - Tandoori grilled tiny on bone. Wonderful, but about two bites each. * Garlic Naan - Crispy baked in the tandoori with lots of minced garlic - perfect for wipe up duty of all the sauces. We enjoyed the entire meal, but probably would go easier on the cauliflower dish which was a bit of a challenge due to the heavy dose of heat. Service was pleasant and timely, especially given the table of 8 that came in right before us, and kept the servers extra busy, and were loud enough to keep everyone alert if not annoyed. read more

This is a brand new Indian restaurant located in New Hope just a few hundred feet from the bridge that takes you to Lambertville, NJ. They are not even open a month. I came here on a recommendation of a friend and a local business owner. First impression was very good. As we entered I was expecting this to just be a small take out place with a counter to eat at. The restaurant has seating for 26! 6 tables that hold 4 people and 1 that seats 2 people we were greeted nicely as we walked in. The restaurant was clean, very reasonable prices, the food was very good and the server was very polite. Like many restaurants in the area it's BYOB which is a great feature. They have a fairly extensive menu with about 7 starters, 3 soups, 4 sides, 10 veggie lover dishes, 9 dishes you can add chicken, lamb, goat, shrimp or fish. They also have 8 clay pot dishes. We started off with the Samosa which is a light pastry stuffed with potato and green peas. You get 2 pieces, we also had the Vindaloo with chicken, which is a coastal Indian dish. This was my favorite dish and you can select the spice level. I made mine mild which is actually closer to medium and it was just right. We also had the Tandorri chicken which was made a little different to what I am accustomed to. I usual find it's made with tensor chunks of chicken. This was a few legs and a thigh. It was mainly bones, so I would not order that dish again. It was tasty, although did not have enough meat. I am sure most of the dishes here will not disappoint. I made a recommendation to them about the Tandorri chicken as well. We also had the Nan bread. I would recommend New Hope Spice Lover overall and will come back to see how they are adapting as a new restaurant. read more

Ordered take out and it was fantastic. The paneer bao buns were incredible. So good I could have eaten 20 of them at least. The chicken won tons were a little too spicy for my taste, I'm not sure if this is the same as if you got the chicken bao buns. Also ordered the butter chicken which we opted for mild, they did give us the option for that. I really want to come in and eat everything because I'm sure it is even better dining in. I really want to try the paneer wonton and the chicken bao buns just to see the spice level if it is different so I can give a better review. The paneer bao buns were by far my favorite and the butter chicken was also very good. I do recommend highly and will certainly be back & next time I will take pics!! read more

Delicious food and great service! We got excellent recommendations and help from our server. Loved everything we ordered. Started with the Paneer wnton Taco - loved it! We shared and enjoyed the Veg Chettinad, Creamy Spinach with Tofu (our favorite), Dal Makhani and Eggplant Bhurta. I hope locals will support this restaurant! read more

The food is amazing!! I definitely recommend!! The hostess was super nice and accommodating The restaurant is small and causal. read more

I was in love with the Indian restaurant that was here before this place so my expectations were low... but the new place really is phenomenal! Ordered chicken saag, which was not even on the menu and they made it to order, without heavy cream or coconut. The garlic naan was sooooo very good. Fair prices. Good portion size. Service was fast, friendly, and accommodating. It has cleaned up nicely since the previous owners, there were some flies in this excruciatingly hot day though. I mean, it's a small place, local business, totally worth the trip. Food has personality. Will definitely visit again. read more

Had the Kale Chaat, Tandoori Chicken, and Samosas - Food was amazing and very friendly service, will be coming back!

It's a small little place tucked in a corner in New Hope. The food takes a little while to come as everything is prepared fresh. It's worth the wait. The dishes come piping hot and every dish is cooked to perfection. Their seafood in the tandoori section is outstanding . Not only is it fresh but also well marinated. Their biryani comes in a copper pot covered with a later of dough that you have to crack open as it cooks on its own steam. Every dish we ordered was delicious. Their curries are divine. A place where you get authentic Indian cuisine. read more

Our lamb chops was very salty and our tandoori paneer was burnt. The place has no heat so it was not a comfortable event. Their paneer chicken tikka masala is pretty good. read more

The food was top notch giving a burst of flavor and a good amount of spice. The staff was very friendly and they were very helpful if we ever needed anything. I highly recommend if you are in the new hope area read more

Truly phenomenal food. Possibly the best Indian food I've ever had. Try their Madras Curry!!

OMG. This food is beyond delicious! If I could give it a 10, I would. Honestly, the flavors are incredible, the quality is amazing and the tastes are as authentic as they are original. The Spicy Eggplant with Shrimp appetizer is worth a 10-star review in itself. I've never had anything like it anywhere else, and it is scrumptious. The Paneer Masala is also divine. I hate to talk down the competition, but Spice Lover is so much better than the other local Indian restaurant. The chef here is worthy of a kitchen somewhere in Times Square, NYC. We are blessed that New Hope is where they landed! Thank you for a fantastic dinner! We'll be back for sure! (Sorry - no pics. We dug in before we even thought of a photo!) read more

The food was incredible. Loved the bao bun appetizer. The breads were amazing. Definitely coming back!

Absolutely delicious food, cozy atmosphere and friendly staff!!! I would highly recommend!!!

We came here on a Monday evening for dinner. They had a good crowd. The place is small, the kitchen area tiny. It's amazing that such delicious food is served out of such a small kitchen. It works against my common sense to talk up this gem, because, for personal reasons, I want to keep it a secret. Our server was terrific. We tried two new items - the Lasooni Gobi which is a somewhat spicy crispy cauliflower dish. The serving was quite large. The most imaginative delicious dish if there ever was one. I didn't want it too spicy, and they tailored it to my liking. We also ordered the Bao bun chicken. It was a large serving of three buns. They were equally excellent with delicious (not sweet) buns and crispy chicken with a wonderful touch of slaw on top. I ordered the lamb Tikka Masala not too spicy. My husband ordered the tandori lamb chops. We also had the garlic naan. Both entrees were plentiful and delicious. The Tikka Masala sauce was delicious. My husband loved his chops. The prices were super low for the portion size. It's a BYOB to boot, saving even more money if you imbibe. We will be back. read more
