We ordered online and went to pick up, but the place was super packed and we had to wait an extra 10 minutes -- honestly, I was a bit frustrated at first. But wow... the food made it all worth it. The chicken tikka masala was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The fried rice was full of taste and not greasy at all. And the naan? Soft, warm, and just the right amount of char. I was actually sad this spot is far from where I live -- if it were closer, I'd be a regular for sure. Great food, just be prepared to wait if it's busy! read more

Found this gem today and can't recommend it enough. Umesh our server was great. He was very attentive and prompt. The food was amazing and the ambience was relaxing but fun. We will definitely be coming back. read more

My husband wanted a five star dinner to close out our trip to Great Wolf and our family of 4 were blown away! I am so sad we are not closer as this Indian food is some of the top we have ever eaten. Butter naan out of the gates had the perfect softness with a touch of crisp on the bottom, slight shimmery sheen of butter (ordered 2 servings and could have eaten a 3rd). Mango chutney is a must for me - could have been a slightly bigger portion but delish, along with the tamarind and coconut chutneys that are part of the meal. We ordered Asian chili calamari and it was perfectly crisp and batter was egg free (another household allergy). Butter chicken was a winner for my younger one - contender for our favorite place in Jersey. If you have a nut allergy, note that they may use nuts in some of their spice blends and will let you know that up front. That said, my allergic child ordered chicken tandoori and she also said it earned top Tandoori status. My husband ordered chicken Chettinand and had no hesitation eating leftovers the next day (even as a vegetarian, the reheat even smelled amazing!). My favorite Navratan korma of all time is served here - other restaurants load up on tons of cream or have a bad ratio of veg to sauce. The hint of fresh cardamom in the spices and perfect balance of cream in the sauce (not too much) - plus the right veg mixture just made this a favorite Indian dish of all time. I think I had 3 spoonfuls left and insisted on putting it in a to-go box. Super super food and so glad we found this gem (and it's fresh ambiance!) during our travels. Ps - don't forget the mango lassi! read more

Delicious food, Naan was superb,and goat masala was very flavorful. Vegetable Samosas and Lamb Rogan Josh were full of flavor and just the right amount of spice. My wife loved the Thai iced tea. The service was prompt, attentive and welcoming. I totally recommend dinner here. read more

Very enjoyable evening. It's an interesting place, one side seems to be darker and more intimate while the other side is brightly lit and banquet-hall like. We were met by the waitress very quickly and offered ice water, which was cold and refreshing. My wife had a Thai Iced Tea, which she enjoyed, and I stuck with the water. I ordered a bowl of Tom Yum soup to start and found it to be just a tad salty for my liking and I could not finish it. They took it off the bill and were very accommodating. For our entrees, we both had the Butter Chicken and Naan. It was very good! Not a thick/creamy as I have had at other establishments but VERY flavorful and the spice level was perfect. The naan was very good as well and perfectly accompanied the meal. We very much appreciated the attentive nature of the staff and will definitely return in the future! read more

Food is exceptional, every time me and my friends come here we are extremely satisfied. Our only gripe is that feel feel it's a bit pricey for a family dinner. read more

Tried it for the first time. Had Chicken Tika Masala and Chicken Korma. Very tasty but forgot to get Nann. Maybe next time.

Very bad service l. We ordered via uber eats and the rice was missing. They refused to send the rice or refund. 16$ service fee + delivery fee and such bad service. I don't recommend ordering from them read more

Spice Route - missed the rice delivery and refuse to send it again or refund. Very bad service after paying 16$ + tips via uber eats to get food - Indian Near Me - Bartonsville, Pennsylvania

Really amazing and super flavorful food. Honestly I was shocked since it's in the middle of nowhere but man does this place hit nicely. Ate all leftovers cold and still loved it. Perfect heat for cold weather. read more

We had a disappointing experience. Our waiter seemed less than interested in taking our order. Our food arrived and he never checked up on us. We had to ask someone else for our check. Food was good but not great. My husband didn't like his Pad Thai. My Palak Paneer was good. As far as ambiance, a large TV screen played Fox News, not enjoyable as we ate dinner. I think we will look for another place next time. read more

Fast service and delicious food, what more do you need. Great quiet atmosphere was the bonus.

Had a wonderful birthday dinner with the wife at Spice Route. The entrees were great and I think it is one of the more upscale dining atmospheres here in the Poconos. read more

Highly Recommended: 4 1/2- 5 Stars. We've enjoyed Spice Route for several years. Every one of the Indian & Pan-Asian dishes we have tried have been beautifully prepared and delicious. Service is friendly, informative and helpful. The level of heat in each dish can almost always be tailored to your taste while the rich flavors are nicely maintained. Slice Route is one of the best restaurants in Northeast PA and anywhere. You will not be disappointed. read more

The reviews brought me here! I started with the Lemongrass soup which was flavorful and spicy. I had the Lamb Tikka Masala for my main course with the butter naan. The lamb was cooked just right and the meat was nice and tender. The butter naan didn't stand a chance lol! Loved it all and left full! read more

Avoid this place like the plague! Sincere incompetence has been shown, and I will never make the mistake of ordering here again. They lost my order. They told my husband that they had never received my order and they then had two very similar orders and confused them. The food was awful. For context, this was my first order since we were here on vacation. The buttered roti was completely bland- I mean normally you can taste a bit of salt but no. This was bland and rubbery. The pad Thai was not legitimate pad Thai. Too sweet and just gross. The "medium" curry was absolutely disgusting. I mean I love spicy, but something listed as medium should not blow my tastebuds out of their taste detecting ability. The rice was just too gross I mean our dogs wouldn't even eat it. I wasted $48 here, I just hope no one else does. read more

Went to this restaurant with curiosity and left with disappointment. Food: - The food was under-seasoned but very spicy. The Goat Curry had spice but not much curry. The fried rice was ordered with specific requirements but was served with none of the requested modifications. A dessert was ordered but never provided. - Some of the meat was cooked well. - The rice was cooked well. Service: - The servers were dismissive and did not listen to orders. Quality: - The ambiance was fine but much of the decor felt cheap - There were several instances of filth on utensils and drink cans. - They served drinks in cans instead of pouring them into cups. Overall: - The recipes are not authentic and taste nothing like they should. - This was a tacky experience. read more

The chicken was dry as dirt, the vindaloo was not spicy at all. The waiter was very nice but had to keep leaving to work the store across the parking lot. The cook kept ringing the bell but nobody was there to serve it. The place is clean. They need to hire some help. read more

Superb Indian food - frankly did not expect this quality somewhere near the poconos The decor /ambience is good to begin with Their Kababs were the best - all the family and friends enjoyed them thoroughly We tried the Malay and tandoori Kababs We also tried the Butter Naan and butter chicken /chicken vindaloo All the dishes were well made Lamb chops were expensive but well done Recommend if you are in the area .. read more

So my first review from here was a takeout order and while it was quite good, it lacked a lot of the experience because I couldn't dine in (covid) and it was also a hefty price for one person to eat takeout. Now the prices have not changed, but the addition of the atmosphere and a "night out" makes them feel much more in line with what I'm comfortable spending. The Honey Sesame Chicken appetizer was excellent. Similar to a Sesame Chicken dish from a Chinese takeout spot but significantly better. Much more depth to this, not just sweet on sweet. The chicken was battered and fried perfectly. When we were done, I wanted more. The Butter Chicken was pretty standard as far as most Indian spots go, but standard is good. It's a flavor you expect to get, and it delivered. The Chicken with Broccoli was another Chinese style dish we got (my girlfriend is not super adventurous and she loves this from the Chinese place) that met the requirements of what we were looking for. Very good flavor and the meat and broccoli was cooked perfectly. The broccoli wasn't mush but wasn't too hard and the chicken was velvety and tasty. The Lamb Biryani tasted exactly as I remember it from my takeout meal, which was quite good. I will order this dish from here any day of the week and be happy about it. Now with their even nicer location in Bartonsville, dining in here is a night out that we enjoy. Chinese, Thai, Indian...you can get any of these 3 here, and they're all quite good.

We ate here on a Saturday night after spending the day skiing at Camelbak. We were immediately seated which I appreciated given I was aching from the slopes. I had the chili paneer. It was very sweet. Paneer was dense and had a nice texture. There was enough of the dish to accompany a couple bowls of rice and some garlic naan. Portions were deceivingly large. Service was pretty quick too. Lots of servers walking around so it was easy to get water topped off or make a request. Two single occupancy restrooms. The one I used was handicap accessible. read more

Food very good very good service and staff was very knowledgeable on the menu it's a yes! It's a BYOB ambience is wonderful It won't disappoint. read more

We absolutely loved the friendly service and the on-point gobi manchurian and Hakka noodles. The chicken tikka and naan were good, but the indo-Chinese food is what was particularly exceptional, with authentic flavors similar to India! We will be back again. Kids have the noodles and gobi Manchurian 5 stars read more

The service was terrible. Took my family including my mom. 1st ordered drinks for my kids. $3.50 for 1 12 oz can of soda. Bought 4 (2 later on). Smh about the price. Server stood around talking to some coworkers as we received our appetizers. I had to ask another person who was a kitchen employee for my kids drinks as the server continued chatting with his buddies. A little later all of our food arrived except my mom's. After waiting about 8 minutes, I asked the same kitchen helper as our server was no where to be found if they could bring my mom her food. They had to check to see if we ordered it. (Which the server had confirmed everything we ordered when we 1st placed it). They finally brought her food. We then asked for 2 more drinks from the only kitchen helper. He brought them out. Later another lady came by and we waved her down for boxes and the check. They added their own gratuity, we couldn't even change it. They couldn't give us a receipt for my mom at first, gave my husband a receipt and then we had to ask again for my mom's receipt. They brought it back 5 minutes later. My mom was very upset and not impressed. We won't be back. The food was nothing special and the service was terrible. read more

We are visiting from Kalahari. This is the second time we have been at spice route. The food is absolutely delicious. It is nice to have variety of Indian, Thai, Chinese options. Our favorite is absolutely the Indian. The staff was friendly and extremely attentive! Every time we visit this area, we will make sure to return and tell our friends. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the music was entertaining. read more

Bought lunch for 2 for $60. Had the balls to charge us $1 for a small plate of Tamarind sauce. Talk about being petty. I will not go back. read more

Unexpectedly AMAZING!!! Didn't know what to expect... but took a shot! Super Clean! Nicely setup...Great service, Umesh was fabulous!!! Food was really spectacular... so good that I will make the hour and half drive for it... every single item we ordered was on the SPOT!!! Highly recommend!!! I am definitely going back and can't wait to explore other menu items. I used to go to Mings Palace in Edison for Pan Asian... but this was way better!!! If at the pocono outlets or in the area for Kalahari or Camelback... make sure to check it out!!! read more

The food was wonderful and the waiter was so nice and attentive. But when they tell you something is spicy, it IS SPICY. Luckily I enjoyed the Kadai Chicken like that : ) read more

We were in PA, and this was near our hotel. The food was amazing! The chicken tikka masala and the chili garlic fried rice was so yum! Definitely recommend and it's halal! read more

The food and Ambiance is the best in the NJ philly area! Their pan asian and Indian curried are some of the best we have had in the US and takes us back home. Everytime we visit poconos for water park we have to make apetite and time for Spice route! Its always part of out itinerary!! please open another location close to Royersford!! read more

I wanted to really try this restaurant and got the chance. This spot is byob. I went into the very nice restaurant and ordered. I ordered the vegetable samosas and the fried red snapper and rice. It took about 20 minutes or so for it to come out. When I dug in the samosas were very good and I liked the sweet sauce. The red snapper was good but the sauce was like a tomato paste so wasn't too fond of that but everything else was good. All in all it was a good experience. read more

We came here for lunch, it's a really good choice for Indian food up in Poconos Mountains! Tandoori items were great especially Lamb Seekh Kebab. Mr. Umesh was a nice server and suggested Goat Biryani which the perfect choice! The biryani was flavorful and tasty. Spice level is Indian level spice, so make sure you're ordering carefully :) read more

I ordered through Uber eats, I believe they are closed for indoor dining. I placed a small order and after tasting the food I instantly regretted it. I ordered garlic naan and onion naan. I honestly didn't care for the onion naan because I'm not a fan of onions so I'm not Sure why I ordered it lol. The garlic naan was so good! It had amazing flavor and I truly wish I had ordered more. I also orders the cauliflower. It was extremely spicy so if you're not a fan of spicy then you can skip this dish or just ask for a side of yogurt. The food was amazing so I will definitely order some food again! Next time I'll make sure to get a large order so I can get a taste of their big menu! read more

We chose Spice Route in part because the Yelp photographs portrayed a pleasant atmosphere with a large bar. Beware, those photographs ARE NOT FROM THIS RESTAURANT. The interior of the restaurant is nothing like the photographs including the fact that there is no bar. Does Yelp do anything about this misleading practice? read more

We had tandoori chicken , tandoori vegetables and tikka chicken... all were scrumptious. The chicken was so soft and tender! Among the best I've ever had. The service was divine and the staff were eager to please and so friendly. Cheerful ambiance to be enjoyed by all. read more

Delicious palak paneer and malai kofta!! The food always tastes great and I enjoy exploring the menu.

We order takeout from here when we go to Great Wolf Lodge. We enjoy the Hakka noodles and spicy fried rice.

I took out my son last Friday for dinner, indian food here is amazing, I want to visit again next time I'm at East Strougburg, PA.

If you are in the poconos and craving for Indian food, this is a good option. Tried lentil soup, salt lassi, noodles and chicken curry. All well prepared. Chicken curry was tasty, but oily. read more
