No fresh ingredients used in any of the preparations. Hakka noodles was oily. Chinese Chopsuey had stale veritable and chicken. Schzewan chicken had old chicken that was even difficult to cut with knife. Virgin Mojito had spoilt mint and full of ice.. Nothing hit even close to the basic price vs value expectation. Server was arrogant and did not make us feel comfortable. Felt they wanted to get rid of us. We will never come back. Seems the 4 stars given on the app are fake review generated by the restaurant folks itself. Not health, Not tasty, bad service read more

Has a nice green house glass seating area. The food was whatever. Was okay honestly. Staff was slow. Was really upset about the avocado fritters.not really a good experience read more

We are visiting Pocono mountains and we stopped by at spice route . There was a wait time!! But IT WAS WORTH IT. We ordered veggie Manchurian and it was absolutely amazing .. so flavorful ! Our sabji and naans were super fresh and very tasty ! I would highly recommend this restaurant! The owners are so kind . Even though the restaurant was busy, he still accommodated us and treated so well . All those coming here for weekend getaways must try this restaurant read more

One of the most amazing Indian food in the area ..awesome and so accommodating to our Group of 18 Indians who are foodies from Philadelphia ..surprised to find this gem in Bartonsville and now want him to deliver to Philly :) Awesome goat curry is a must and the appetizer pepper chicken is worth a main dish any day Will drive back from Philly just for dinner Don't think any more. Just go. read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for sometime but always found the look from the outside odd and the fact that they advertise Indian Chinese and Thai food seemed somewhat overzealous. However after entering, the restaurant is nice and has a green house on route 611 which had an airy feeling bad for all the traffic buzzing by. We ordered Thai food but being in the mood for some naan bread ordered that to have with a beer before the meal. The bread was burned and when I called the waiter over he argued with me that this is what it is supposed to look like and after some back-and-forth decided to take it back to the kitchen and bring me some more burned naan. Shortly after, another employee came to explain that this was the way this bread was served. I explained that I have had it many times over many years and was never served burned naan bread. Toasted yes burned no. Argued with, definitely not. I had lamb Penang curry. The meat was tough but incl nice cuts of lamb as opposed to the bone and grizzle served at the Indian restaurant in Tannersville. The curry was fair as unfortunately it was watered down flavor wise. They were nice vegetables included. The service was adequate and the price for two meals and the naan with no appetizer or dessert was $44. Had I not had two idiots telling me that naan is always served burned it might have been a better dining experience. Way too many restaurants to try before contemplating returning ever again read more

Best Indian am food ever tasted on the whole east coast!! Thai curries , soups and dumplings are awesome!! Service is excellent too!!

I have tried this restaurant for Indian food several times and it is not good. They use fatty chicken thighs and the food is in general way too spicy (even when ordered mild). The management is not friendly or helpful and the wait staff is very over worked so the service is slow. It is a shame because there are not that many Indian restaurants in the area but this is one we will not try again. Three strikes and you are out. read more

Absolutely delicious Indian food! This place is a must to try when in poconos or around it .We first came across this restaurant on our trip to poconos and now we drive 40mins most weekends to get takeaway :) Their Indian food is one of the best we have had in New Jersey .Must try the goat biryani ,it's delicious .Service is always warm and the ambience is great . read more

A surprising gem in a strip mall serving Indian, Chinese, and Thai cuisines! Highly recommended!!

We went here seeing all the good reviews.. But it tirned out to be a completely bad experience. We ordered hakka noodles which were just ok.. the schezwan chicken in which, the chicken was very bad quality. It was very chewy and bad. The server was also very rude and did not give us place in desired place.. he told it was full, while all the time we were there, it remained completely empty. We would never go there again and would never recommend anyone to come here. read more

I am a huge fan of the indo-chinese fusion in general and Spicy Route is the bees knees, which is why they have been my go too since I moved to PA 2 years ago. So it only makes sense why I ordered their party trays for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's 2020/21. I have to say, their food is outstanding as usual, their hospitality impeccable and reasonable prices. If you are thinking about it then look no further, I promise you that you can't go wrong with any dish at Spice Route. They definitely have a life long customer right here. I highly recommend this restaurant to any and everyone. Thank you guys for making my holidays one to remember. read more

We traveled to PA for family vacation and found this restaurant from yelp through good reviews. However, the service and the overall experience wasn't pleasant at all. The curry and Indian dishes don't come with rice (which in other restaurants Ive been to, it usually is part of the order) and if you don't add the rice w/ dish for one dollar when they asked, they will charge you 3 dollars for a separate order on rice later on. We requested service from our server and it always take forever or just straight up ignored. I also have never tasted water this horrible before, their tab water tastes so bad, and if you want to buy a bottle water it's an additional 6 dollars. Overall the whole dining experience was terrible and even though the food isn't too bad I didn't enjoy it. Just do take out if you really want to try the food here. read more

What a surprise in the Poconos. Authentic Indian, Chinese and Thai. I'm eating my way through the menu and haven't been disappointed. The diverse menu offers a array of the best pan-asian dishes on a single menu. The decor and service is another pleasant gesture. A must try, then come again experience. read more

Favorite Indian and Thai restaurant. The flavors in the foods are jaw-dropping. The service is always great. Definitely the best Thai and Indian food in all of Monroe county. Great vegetarian options as well. read more

The best Indian food I've had in the area for a long time! Very nice atmosphere. Seating is a bit cramped, but the food makes up for it. A bit pricey, but you the portions are very filling so it's very likely to be bringing food home. Definitely would recommend this place to everyone looking for Indian food in the area. read more

We were at Great Wolf Lodge, and I wanted to try this place for lunch. It was a 20-minute drive, and the lunch portion was a bit small. Not the best Indian food I've had, but decent. I had about 6 pieces of chicken in my chicken tikka masala entree, and 1 small Samosa as the lunch appetizer. The sauce was not as creamy as I've had in other restaurants, which is ok. I chose naan (1 piece) instead of rice. It also came with 2 sauces, (red and green) and a small container of sweet rice dessert. With the distance to get there, and price for the small amount of food, I will not order from here again. read more

I've been to Spice Route 3 or 4 times now while traveling to Stroudsburg and it has always been a good experience. Great flavors, customer service, and variety are the keys to their success and why people keep returning. COVID restrictions have contactless pickup as an option which is amazing. I usually go for the butter chicken, chili beef, and some nan of course. Can't wait to try more next time I'm in the area. read more

Great food and even greater service! The butter chicken was delicious and the mango lassi was incredible too!

I visited this resturant twice In NOVEMBER 2017, both times the staff barley spoke. Not really friendly. The food was good the first time but the waiter didn't ask me how I wanted the food cooked on the second visit. So the dish was cooked very mild, when I would have liked it spicy. Every other Indian restaurant I've been to always asked. So my advice is to remember to tell them how you like your dish cooked. And don't expect any conversation or smiles. read more

I have had some Thai and Indian food from them and no complaints. I think they do a good job and the flavors are really good. I loveee the chicken tiki Marsala I have ordered it a few times. read more

Malai kofta - *chef's kiss* that it, that's the review. But Yelp is asking for more words so ...We were in the area for a 4 day vacation- after 4 months of looking at the walls during this pandemic I decided to do a mini vaca. After 3 days I got a craving for India food and decided to try this place. Everything was good but the malai kofta was the best read more

This is a great spot for lunch: something interesting and delicious for everyone. I worried "Jack of all trades, master of mine," but that is not the case here. We got calamari, served with a nice shallot topping, shrimp dumplings , naan, sag paneer lunch special with hot/sour soup and pad Thai noodles. Pad Thai was delicious, naan was excellent, and calamari were perfect. Service was outstanding read more

We were staying at Kalahari Resort for a conference absolutely surrounded by overpriced, sub-par restaurants, at the resort and even in the area around it. After being so disappointed with food the first couple days, we drive a little further (only 15 minutes) and found this restaurant. HUGE menu, great service, big portions, spicy (if requested - we love it), and we loved every single thing we ordered (my husband eats meat and I'm a vegetarian and we both loved our appetizers and entrees). Don't bother going anywhere else in that whole touristy area. The only thing I wish I would've known ahead of time is that it's bring-your-own beer/wine. read more

Highly recommend for both dine in and catering. The restaurant has plenty of space for large parties. We had our sons birthday catered from spice route - ordering was easy, the food was hot and ready on time as promised, and we got several compliments from our guests. They were even able to make food for our friends with soy sauce allergies. Some of my favorite menu items are the drums of heaven and the Hakka chili noodles. So good! read more

Delicious food, especially while still in the pandemic. We placed a takeout order and got vegetable samosas, goan fish curry, palak paneer and garlic naan. The samosas were great and not greasy, with a bit of a kick. The Fish curry has a wonderful spicy sauce that was perfect for dipping the naan, and we used the leftover rice and curry sauce to make a side dish later in the weekend. The paneer dish was great too. Easy pickup and would definitely order again! read more

We gave a couple of chances to this place. Every time it was a disappointment. Not a good Indian food at all. Would not recommend going there. read more

Recommended by a friend who lives in Stroudsburg, was delighted to find Indian Chinese in the Poconos :-)

My boyfriend and I ate here this evening. We ordered a vegetarian Kathi roll as an appetizer. It was huge and served with the best mint chuntney I've ever tasted! We ordered Tandoori Paneer Tikka Masala and Chicken Chattinad along with Naan and Basmati Rice. We both enjoyed our meals and there was even enough left over for lunch tomorrow. The wait staff was friendly and attentive and honored my Groupon without any hassle. 2 small issues; Upon arrival, it took a few awkward minutes before we caught the attention of staff. At that time, we were told to seat ourselves. We didn't see any signs suggesting this. The outer diner room, although very nice, is cold and we had to eat with our jackets on. read more

What a great find in this area!!! We were visiting poconos just for a weekend get away and were craving Indian food!! Came across this restaurant and so glad that we made a stop for lunch. The menu was extensive with a lot of Indian, Chinese and Thai options. We ordered murgh tikka and chicken seekh kebabs from the grill section. Everything was so fresh and right off the grill! We ordered channa masala and butter chicken from the curry section and it was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the food thoroughly and took gajar ka halwa in a to go box for dessert. The service was excellent and the food was on point!! We will definitely be back next time we are visiting the poconos!! read more

Kailash was amazing! It was my first time ordering and he led me in the right direction. The food was absolutely delicious, aromatic, and filling. I'm extremely pleased and am excited there's finally great Indian food near me I had the lamb biryani, goat masala, and drums of heaven! No complaints on any of it -Free read more

Worst possible seating service in east coast. We were a party of 5 including a kid and aged parents. They had a lot of open seating. They made us wait 10 mins before anyone talked to us. They mentioned that the kitchen is backed up and food will be 30 minute wait. I can understand that. But they refuse to seat us and ask us to stand for 30 mins. We mentioned multiple times that we can sit and wait to be served. But they refused to offer us a seating. No apologies ever. read more

Very mediocre food and rude customer service. We were a group of 9 and ordered maybe 15 different dishes. Nothing stood out as particularly good, except the bhel puri and chili garlic noodles. The portions were pretty small per item. The servers and busboy made 0 effort to provide good customer service. Would not visit again and do not recommend to others. read more

The only reason I am giving them 3 stars is because their customer service sucks... The person who answered the phone and gave me my food was not very welcoming and he seemed annoyed to be working..... Besides the horrible customer service the food was ok, not amazing but not the worst either, not sure if I will go back read more

We previously ordered for takeout and last night enjoyed the warm ambience and excellent service indoors. The food is fantastic. We ordered Bhel Puri -a new one to us and a delightful combination of flavors and texture. For entrees we ordered Lamb Vindaloo, Chicken Chattinad and Palek Paneer. And, Onion Kulcha. While ordering. we asked for a small reduction of the "heat" level and they complied. Dessert was another new dish to us -- Moong Dal Halwa --amazing. Spice Route is now a weekly treat for us. We will work our way around the menu! read more

My wife and I have been in love with Indian food for over fifty years and have eaten it all over the world in places like New York City, Los Angeles, and even on trips to India. We were in the Stroudsberg area for a wedding and decided on having an Indian lunch before the evening reception. The moment we entered we appreciated the warm ambiance and the staff greeted us promptly and professionally. All of that aside a big shout out to the kitchen chefs and staff. We were immediately impressed with the extra buttery and flaky samosa crust with a perfectly spiced filling. Even the two chutneys were exceptional. The bread, onion Kulcha was served hot and cooked to perfection. My favorite, Malai Kofta was great and my wife's favorite Matter Paneer was the best we've ever had. The Sikh gentleman whose name I did not get was great and Umesh was a gem. Went out of the way to tell the staff that we gave the entire experience - ambiance, service and food a 10 out of 10 and will be sure to return if we are back in the area. read more

Very good restaurant, foods authentic and clean! However, the Dal is expensive and tastes not that good.

The food is absolutely delicious I go every payday for lunch. Next time I will post pics

An unexpected surprise in the Poconos! Came here for rest and relaxation and this was a phenomenal find thanks to Yelp. Had Mutton Handi which was divine! Also Thai Curry Shrimp...maybe could use 2 more shrimp; however flavor was on point. An all around great spot. A great mixture of Indian mixed with Thai. Your ethnic tastebuds will be thrilled! And the mangotini...SUPERB! Definitely will be back whenever in the area!! Thank you Spice Route!! read more

Great food and service-we went in as a party of 15 and they accommodated us right away and even made a special dish for our 9 month old baby ...highly recommend read more

I was here for my birthday lunch with my friends on Monday. I was craving Indo-Chinese food and one of our friends suggested this restaurant after looking up on the web. I had high hopes from the restaurant but was disappointed. The food was fine. Wouldn't recommend the seafood, it was stale. But this review is specifically regarding the wait staff. Our server was unimaginably rude to us. The moment we entered, we felt uninvited. He spoke to us very rudely, did not help us when we asked a question regarding an item on the menu and when we greeted him goodbye, he just grunted! He also kept staring at us, which made me feel very uncomfortable. This was the worst service I have ever received in any restaurant. Zero for the service and 3 for the food. read more
