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 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

Subpar Indian food but if you need something that is open later than most places, this is a good option Food: I thought the food was not that great! The mon chow soup was filled with something that upset my stomach. The garlic naan was tasty but small. The butter chicken- literally had a piece of butter in it. Price: reasonably priced - and they provide a good quantity of food Ambience: nice seating area Service: a bit aggressive and not attentive. We were the only other party in the restaurant and constantly needed to ask for water read more

We were at Mt. Airy Casino Resort for the July 4th weekend. One of the nights, we decided to order food from this restaurant as we were craving Indian food. The food here is very spicy, so be aware before you order. We ordered the following: - Bhel: this was very dry and not flavorful. - Malai Kofta: this was decent. My hubby got Butter Chicken, and it was really spicy. I could see oil floating on a red curry. Usually, butter chicken is not spicy. But this curry was very spicy. Overall, the food was ok. read more

Hold up there is a new Indian place in town! Even more exciting is the fact that they service Indo-Chinese and Indo-Thai dishes along with traditional Indian offerings. If fusion Indian food is new to you, think of it as a hybrid of Indian food and Chinese or Thai. This style of cooking is very famous in India but is hard to come by in most place in the US. Hence it was a nice surprise learning about Spice Route. We walked in and were told there was a 40 min wait, which we utilized by the doing some grocery shopping at the nearby Giant. We were seated in about 30 mins. First thing we noticed was the modern and simple decor. Additionally the table was clean and water was delivered promptly. As part of our grocery excursion one of our group members picked up a bottle of wine which the server graciously uncorked for us. The menu is detailed and provides a description for all items. Our group ended up ordering a variety of dishes and loved them all. The restaurant owner stopped by to chat and was very friendly and encouraged trying new dishes. Portions are large and most come with a side of rice which is nice (unlike another restaurant in the area). Our food took awhile to come but there was a note in the menu about everything being cooked to order and that takes time. The restaurant was also packed which was a great sign of how popular they are. When it is time to pay your bill, the server comes straight to your table with a Cc machine which makes it fast and easy. We are already excited about our next visit. Things to know: -highly recommend making a reservation (which we will do next time) -WiFi available -ask about spice levels, the guidance given to us by the server was spot on -rice is served with all dishes with the exception of noodle and rice dishes -options for different dietary restrictions -don't be shy in asking for help ordering -clean bathrooms read more

This place was great, the service was great, the food was great. We went in for dinner and ordered the below food: Manchow soup - 4.5/5, Vegetable Manchurian - 4/5 Chilli Garlic Noodles - 4.5/5 Chilli Paneer - 5/5 Pad Thai Noodles Chicken - 3/5 Rasmalai - 4.5/5 (3 small pieces in one plate) Gulab Jamun - 3.5/5 (3 small pieces in one plate) The food here was closest to Indian fusion (and the best that I have tasted in the USA) and reasonably priced. I would definitely visit again. Staff was kind and nice to talk to. We were all very happy after this meal. Highly Recommended. read more

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

Very disappointed in the meal. I'm Indian and the food was not appetizing at all. We got the most basic things like chicken tikka, paneer chilli and garlic chilli naan. The naan however was editable but the rest of the meal was horrible. The curry tasted straight up like rotten tomatoes and chili paneer smelled and was sour. I would not recommend this place at all read more

Once again an absolutely incredible meal. This time had shrimp pad Thai. Staff on point, food delicious.

Absolutely disgusting. Placed an order via yelp. They claim they didn't cancel it, but they did. Blamed me. Said to wait an hour. Ridiculous. read more

My husband and I were staying at a hotel nearby for a wedding and ordered for delivery. The food was amazing, which I say as a fan of Indian cuisine who lives in Queens, NY. I got the palak paneer and aloo gobi with jasmine rice. I was so glad our hotel had a mini fridge and microwave because the leftovers were just as good for lunch the next day! Would definitely eat here again. read more

This is my second review for this place. First one was pre-covid at their old location. Since then they have moved to this new location. The restuarant has a great vibe, beautiful decor, and light music. The food was yummy & flavorful. The owner and the staff are friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place. read more

There's better Indian food in the area. Did not try their other Asian food options. Went for lunch and did not call in for my take out order. The order took 45 minutes and only 2 people came in to pick up food in that time. The staff was very nice. read more

Excellent food! We stayed at Camelback Resort 6 months ago and found this restaurant. This time, we stayed at Kalahari and brought our 21 and 22 year old kids. Again, Spice Route exceeded our expectations. The staff is friendly and clearly takes great pride in sharing their food. The service was great and each dish we ordered was delicious. Don't miss the mango lassi. They make the best we've ever tasted. read more

Was so excited to hear there was an indian place in the poconos because i loveee indian food so i was sad when my vindaloo did not taste the way i thought it should/used to. Got the chicken mourgh vindaloo which should be spicy and they tell you its spicy. It was a little but nothing as bad as what i've had in nyc and the sauce honestly tasted like a mix of something with buffalo sauce. My family tasted that as well so i was shocked and questioning if they really make it that way or just don't think i'd know the difference. Who knows?! Quite disappointed though. Thankfully my mom's chicken with spinach sauce was good another one of my favorites. Saving dis right there. My brother ordered the chicken tikka masala because we basic and gotta get the original. He said it was fine, i had a bit tasted fine nothing special that's why i usually don't order it. Came with a mix of white/basmati rice which i love. Ordered garlic naan which was pretty crunchy and thin. Tried the avocado fritters which were fried pretty well and not that oily but the outside fry was not like breadcrumbs. My dad ordered the duck with lychee and plum sauce which was interesting. Personally not into sweet food for dinner but he enjoyed it since he liked that this place was all types of asian cuisine. Not the places fault but a really loud, obnoxious group was there when the rest of the restaurant is nice and quiet and even looks a bit more date like upscale in the back half. It made it hard to enjoy the meal. Also our service was ok they guy who came out with our dishes was the friendliest. We asked what tandori is since my dad has never had it and i didn't know how to properly describe it but the guy did not really give us a helpful answer besides that it is cooked in an oven. Like if there's a sauce what does it taste like i'm not sure lol. Took them a while to get our check and did not say a thing once we paid/left not a big deal but we noticed. read more

The food is amazing!! A lot of good options from a mixed menu. East Indian, Chinese and Thai choices. They make everything fresh to order so on their busy nights there is a wait but it is worth it. I do like that they bring the food out as they make it so I recommend ordering appetizers and then a couple main dishes to share. It was a cool vibe and the staff was very friendly. read more

We ordered food for our college reunion this weekend. Spice Route delivered 100 out of 100. Food was excellent. Their garlic naan was the best I have ever had and their tandoori chicken can beat any Michelin Indian chef out of the park. I have eaten at top Indian restaurants in NYC and the food at Spice Route can beat any of those places. We might just visit Poconos to eat here again! The service was excellent too. read more

We loved the chili garlic fried rice, chicken manchurian, garlic naan and chicken tandoori. Halal meat verified verbally and signage in front. Did not see any alcohol. Service was attentive. Great spot for halal food in the Poconos area. read more

The food was really good . And the waiter good service I was surprised my kids like a lot . Thank you so much for the recommendation

Burnt tandoori vegetables, soggy steamed shrimp dumplings, over spiced meal even though I requested mild spicing. I guess the guy that cooks the menufy orders can't read English. The guy at the door kept me waiting for 5 minutes while my order was sitting in a bag. I guess I'll have to go to the other Indian take out to get decent Indian food. read more

This place had an extensive menu; Indian, Chinese, and Thai. I took it as a good sign that there were several Indian families eating there. Service was good and prices reasonable considering portion size. Hubby had chicken tikka masala and I hade chicken corma. Both were delicious. The tikka was a bit too spicy for my husband, but he loved the corma. read more

It's been a week since I visited Spice Route and I am still thinking about how good their food was! I live in NYC and occasionally make trips to the Poconos area to visit family. I would say about every 3 to 4 months. Every time I go I make it a point to try something different to eat since we don't have to pay for our stay at our relatives' house in Tobyhanna. We had the Garlic Naan and Avocado fritters for appetizers. For entrees we had the Chicken Pad Thai and the Chicken Tikka Masala ... and it was the best Pad Thai and Tikka Masala i had ever had!!! If we weren't traveling so far I would have ordered an extra order to go to bring home with me! It's a definite must have and we are definitely going back to Spice Route when we visit the Poconos again in October!! read more

Very few restaurants can pull off high quality Indian and Thai under the same roof. And keep it going over years, even after Covid and even after a major change of location and downsizing. Spice Route makes it seem easy. The owner mentioned how tough it has been trying to keep up despite inflation and the supply chain shortage, but you wouldn't be able to tell while slurping down the menu. Can't go wrong. Check it out. One word of caution, the kadai paneer was really spicy (it's in the restaurant name, duh) so ask for mild if you are not feeling adventurous. read more

I didn't take any photos this time however, I had the Hakka noodles and they were outstanding and also the onion kulcha which was terrific. Service was a little bit slower tonight, but the food is always outstanding, and we will always come back. read more

Well, things have gone downhill at Spice Route (which is now Spice Kitchen) in East Stroudsburg. Used to think very highly of the restaurant, but the last time I used them, I had ordered out. I ordered a chicken dish. When I got home what I had in front of me was not chicken, but rather a seasoned bread dumpling of some kind. I live more than 45 minutes away, so I chose not to head back. My thought is that if they DIDN'T have any more chicken in the kitchen, they should have told me to choose a different item. Instead, I feel that they've lost a previously loyal customer. Sadly, posting this as I have gone there for a few years. read more
