    Lamb over rice
    Dale S.

    Not sure why we have never tried this place before last week, but I can confidently say that if you are looking for good flavor and value, Rice & Spice is worth a shot. Like many other reviewers, I recommend ordering ahead so your food is ready when you arrive. The business is like a grocery/deli and the staff has always been nice. They did leave the cheese off of a cheeseburger that was ordered which was a bummer, however when we asked for no jalapenos on something, they remembered that. In the last week we have tried a few of their burgers and a lamb over rice plate and although the portion size and presentation could use improvement, the flavor and value was good. We will be coming back more often, I am sure.

    L to R: Chicken Over Rice (~$8) and Lamb Over Rice (~$8).

    Rice & Spice doesn't look like much when you pass by, but they do have a decent selection of food here. I stopped by with a friend for lunch one day around 3pm. After checking out the menu, we decided to split the Chicken Over Rice (~$8) and Lamb Over Rice (~$8). Both dishes come with rice, salad, and a can of soda. It's also served with white sauce on the side. It took about 10 minutes to prepare our food, which wasn't too bad. It is A LOT of food for ~$8. I think this ended up lasting me 2-3 meals, so it is well worth the cost. The yellow rice is fragrant and the meats were well-seasoned. I enjoyed the salad and white sauce too which really brought the whole meal together. If you're in the Lodi area looking to grab a quick, cheap meal, Rice & Spice is a solid option!

    Chicken gyro
    Leanne S.

    Chicken gyro was so SPICY I licked my fingers when I unwrapped it and my lips and top of mouth instantly started burning. When I called and asked why it was so spicy they said "We put chili sauce on it ". Menu doesn't state that. Only tzatziki sauce. When I mentioned that they state it's spicy and they said "why?"Biggest waste of $10 with a tip. I have been leery of going and should have stayed away.

    Naan Kabob- such good flavor
    Del S.

    So- I can't believe it took me so long to try this place out- If you're looking for a good quality - low cost satisfying burger- look no further. I had seen pictures that others had posted and knew I wanted to try it. Recommendation- it would be better to call in your order before picking up- everything is freshly prepared- and that way you don't have to wait. If you're looking for Middle-Eastern, Indian or Asian food- seasoning or spices, come here. Super friendly workers that gave me suggestions on making some of the more traditional meals i.e. Seekh Kabob and Butter Chicken- (takes practice) Anyway, when I got home- hubby and I split all of the items so I could get a taste of everything- delicious delicious and I will definitely come back. (My favorite? The Jalapeño Burger combo comes with a soda and yummy fries) looking forward to trying all of the other things Be back soon

    Ok so Michael and I went to this store in Lodi to get a bite to eat and some pizza for tonight's party! First off we ate the loaded fries I had spicy chicken Michael had the philly cheesesteak I can not recommend them enough and I'm so full! Second the pizzas look and smell amazing and the prices were awesome! Third..... THIS IS A FULL BLOWN INDIAN INGREDIENTS STORE!!!!! Everything India I could ever want and things I didn't even know I was missing in my life was there. I will be spending a full paycheck there when I go back to work!!!

    Beef Strip Burger
    Tiffany K.

    The food here is consistent and satisfying. The burgers are my go-to's; I highly recommend the avocado burger and my friend is a big fan of the beef strip (beef bacon) burger. As for the wings, they're not the best wings I've ever had, but they are definitely the best halal wings I've ever had! The BBQ sauce on the wings are the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The wings are also big, which is a plus. Rice & Spice has definitely expanded their menu since I first started coming here and I have yet to try all the new items. Also, I suggest ordering your food over the phone ~20-25 minutes ahead of time. Enjoy!

    Two stars for being a "health food" super market in a town that isn't all that enlightened…read moreregarding the subject. I grew up in San Diego and got to witness Sprouts from the beginning. First it was Boney's, when things were on wire shelves like an old school co-op, then it became Henry's, and eventually Sprouts like it is today. Except back in the 90s, they made their own hummus in house, as well as a number of other items. Btw their hummus was the best, and I've had it all over the world. Fast forward to the mid 2000s and I lived in LA, where there was a Sprouts, a Trader Joe's, and a World Foods all within a short distance from one another. Sprouts had changed, but I could still get most of what I needed there. I only went to the other places for specific things, but Sprouts was my go-to. However they stopped making a lot of things in house, their deli sandwich were pitiful and expensive, and some of my old fav items were no longer there. Fast forward another however many years, and it's the only health food place in town. I don't know what changed, but it's different. The prices are a lot higher compared to what they were vs. mainstream and other health food stores. Probably the "Lodi Tax". They don't seem to have as much variety. And the ready made, microwave at home dishes are paired down to a limited variety, and are super expensive. Now there's the deli. They have this butternut squash dish. But they cook it with onions, garlic, and peppers. Not at all the flavor profile that goes with that squash. I couldn't eat it. Had to throw it out. Even my less picky friend spat it out. Why no cinnamon and nutmeg? Everyone likes that, and expects it. Then there's the deli meat. I have sometimes been able to find real sliced roasted turkey breast. Not the slimy stuff that you get pre packaged that is basically all the garbage parts of the bird blended up and poured into a mold with added water and sodium like pretty much all lunch meat. I mean real turkey breast. I know they have it. But depending on who is behind the counter, you either get someone who knows the difference (not hard to tell, just look!) and will happily help you out. Or you get someone who is clearly not happy to be there and doesn't want to put in the effort to just look, and will rather argue with you and pretend to not know what you are talking about. Which leads me to the whole processed lunch meat thing. If you look in the deli window at what claims to be 100% turkey breast, and is in the shape, and is as big as an actual turkey (or maybe a large chicken), and you slice it, and it is slimy and has tiny bubbles and no muscle grain in it, it is not an actual turkey breast. The turkey would have to be the size of an ostrich to have a breast that big and uniform, and you would have to be a very unobservant, or very lazy person to not know the difference when asked for real roasted turkey breast deli meat, despite what the manufacturer labels it as. So because of the shrinkage in items and the ongoing battle with the deli counter, and the skyrocketing prices, I kinda just stopped going here. Honestly, for a single bag of groceries here, I can get three at TJ's if I take the journey to Stockton. Yeah they don't even have a deli. So I guess sandwiches are out for me. But I'm saving money and getting better food items by avoiding this place. Sad to say it, but they gotta do better, and they need better people working there.

I couldn't get out to shop due to my caregiver responsibilities and my helper called in sick. I ordered online from Safeway and my order was delivered within hours. I was especially delighted that the Tri Tip roast (the star of my dinner) selected by my shopper was an excellent choice. Best ever, according to my son-in-law. I also needed some ingredients for the sweet and sour red cabbage soup and the sticky toffee pudding, which were also selected perfectly. Thank you, Safeway!

Wednesday through Thursday. It did state while supplies last but to run out after 3 days is unacceptable. When asking if they had more they just said that some of their other stores ran out yesterday. If it had been Wednesday I would have understood as they have to project for the whole ad. Both items have long shelf life. It's the #1 turkey day of the year. Anything not sold could be sold for Christmas, New Years or even Super Bowl. I do have to compliment the cashier up front. She was very nice and but did share that many people were mad. I ended up at Food 4 Less to do my shopping.
