    Amazing authentic Indian restaurant in mid town east side. Delicious flavors that will blow your mind. Michelin chef! The service was top of the line and the owner greeted us warmly. We actually closed the restaurant down because we could not stop eating. The chicken vindaloo was perfectly cooked with an awesome spice. Will definitely make this my go to spot when I'm in town.

    Garlic Spinach &  Bhuna Goat
    Don K.

    The Spice Symphony in Times Square was outstanding. Figured this location would be an equal. Not so. I dined alone and ordered the goat with sides of garlic naan and creamed spinach. While I waited, I admired the decor and cleanliness of the restaurant. The staff was professional and attentive but not hovering. A Cabernet pour was not overpriced and would've complemented the entree had I been able to chew it. The goat was hard and chewy. Not just a couple of pieces but well over half of the dish. The spinach was puréed- with little texture. Creamed to the extreme. The server promptly summoned the manager and he quickly offered half off the meal and a complimentary dessert. He apologized and went back to the kitchen presumably to talk with the kitchen staff. I would go back and likely order the butter chicken.

    This was our first visit to this Spice Symphony location, though we've tried the other two and already trust their food. As expected, the space is clean, the ambiance is pleasant, and the flavors stay close to what you'd find in India. They started us off with a complimentary mini Aloo Chaat -- a small portion, but really tasty with the sweet and spicy chutney. A nice touch. We tried their Indo-Chinese dishes for the first time: Manchow Soup and Triple Szechwan Noodles. Both were decent and gave that familiar Indo-Chinese feel but nothing extraordinary. Also, even though we asked for mild spice, the noodles came out much spicier than expected -- so it's worth being very firm about your spice level when ordering. For mains, we went with Masalewali Bhindi, Kadai Paneer, and Yellow Tadka Dal (which comes with rice). All three were flavorful and well-made. Our mix of breads -- butter roti, plain roti, and chilli garlic naan -- were perfectly cooked. Service was top-notch, and like every Spice Symphony location, the overall experience was consistent. A dependable spot we enjoy returning to -- you really can't go wrong here.

    Garlic Naan
    Irene C.

    The food is pretty good here, we ordered a mango lassi, chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh and garlic naan! Mango lassi was more yogurt than mango tasting and a bit tangy which i wasn't a fan but my friend was. Chicken biryani was very flavorful, the chicken tikka masala was good and had a nice tomato taste, a little similar to the lamb rogan josh but this dish was my fave. The lamb was so tender and the curry had a nice kick to it so definitely recommend!! Garlic naan is a must have for the table and theirs is a little crispier than it is doughy.

    Came here to try and introduce my coworkers to the magic of Indo-Chinese food. I particularly wanted to share what some of my favorite food to eat growing up in Mumbai was- chili paneer and Gobi Manchurian. Good news- the food here rocks and my coworkers loved it! I ordered family style for the group and everyone got to try gobi Manchurian, chili paneer, chaat, bhel, and then I got two familiar mains in the biryani and tikka masala. Everything was great and tasty. I usually like a more red/orange colored gobi Manchurian whereas this one was definitely more dark brown- indicating less chili. It had more of a mild spice with a sweet and sour taste, but it was still delicious due to the perfect crunchy texture. The paneer was perfect and dense and bitey, and the rest of the dishes were all exactly as you'd expect (creamy tikka masala, spicy biryani, etc). Vibe wise, the space is small but has a good amount of seating. Table cloth and settings are all very nice and feel more on the fancy side. This feeling emphasized by the wine and cocktail menu. There is a big mirror on the wall inside which makes the place feel a lot bigger than it is. When we came in there weren't a lot of other tables seated, so service was super fast. The mains did take longer to arrive than we expected, but perhaps that's just because we ordered so many appetizers. Overall, this is a great spot to get delicious indo-Chinese or just Indian food as well as drinks. Come with a group and order family style!

    Gobi Manchurian Dry

    Spice Symphony is a great name for this spot - delicious, spiced Indian cuisine in a very harmonic atmosphere that makes for a great dinner out. The quality and flavors here really stand out in the NYC Indian scene. Even more impressive was their quality vegan and vegetarian menus (separate mind you!), which used ingredients that I normally don't find at a lot of Indian restaurants. I started off with their Gobi Manchurian, a classic Indo-Chinese dish and these did not disappoint. Baked cauliflower doused in a tangy sweet-sour sauce while still being mostly crispy is a huge win. For my main, I had their Soya Kheema Mutter ($20) and it was absolutely divine. The creamy tomato base had amazing spices and the ground soya pieces were a wonderful touch to add plant-based protein into my meal. Order it spicy because it was just what I needed. I enjoyed these with a side of roti. The service here was great and they continued to check in on us throughout the night. We closed out the restaurant yet did not feel rushed or pushed to leave, which we appreciated (and of course we left soon after closing). Very impressed with our experience and would be happy to return one day.

    Been there to this place on Saturday evening. It was not very crowded and we were easily seated. Food is good but portions are very less and it's pricey . Ambience is dark and gloomy and music was not going with the decor. They could have better lighting and increase the portion size. Taste of food was good

    Tandoori Chicken
    Ting Z.

    Food was a mixture of okay and very good. We started off with the New Delhi chaat, which was alright but I've had better elsewhere. The chutney sampler was also just okay, would skip. However their Tandoori chicken and lamb chops were both really tender and flavorful, not dry at all. Service is also great; staff were really friendly and attentive.

    Vegetable Manchurian
    Dimpie S.

    Restaurant is beautiful and great decor for date night vibes. Service 5/5. They gave us free appetizer kebabs to try. The servers were attentive to the minor details and served water frequently. The food was disappointing Chinese bhel: 1/5. Super sour and spicy. The papad made it edible but absolutely disgusting Vegetable Manchurian: 2/5. No taste whatsoever and bland Hakka noodles: 2/5. Vegetables even lost taste The saving grace for this restaurant was its service but would not return due to disappointing food for south Asians

    Gobi Manchurian Dry, Malai Paneer Ke Tikke, Hakka Noodles with Egg
    Annie L.

    I came here for the first time on a Friday evening with three friends who have been to another Spice Symphony and highly recommended it! The restaurant was also very homey and ever so slightly moody. The front door leads to an intimate lower level that is the restaurant and most of the light comes from the front desk and the bar. As you go further towards the back, where we sat, most of the illumination comes from the candles on the table. Only thing is that this can cause for minor messes, as we had a spill from a server refilling our water glasses and a candle that was knocked over during table cleanup. Regardless, everyone was incredibly friendly. The servers were very kind and accommodating of us, especially when we were first figuring out what to order since some of us at the table could handle spice and some of us couldn't. The food here was absolutely delicious, with just the right amount of spice. Among the four of us, we ordered the Gobi Manchurian, Malai Paneer Ke Tikke, and Hakka Noodles with egg. The Gobi Manchurian was so good that we ordered another round of it, along with an order of the Paneer Chili Dry. Definitely need to come back to try more dishes!

    Chi Restaurant offers an extensive, authentic menu that's divided out by type of food - chicken,…read morebeef, pork, vegetable, etc. Everything is also labeled for dietary restrictions. Service is very fast and they kept the water flowing (spicy dishes really are spicy!), and the portions are huge. Though you have to pay extra for white rice ($3 a bowl), the overall value was reasonable for the main dishes. The restaurant is dark and elegant inside, with a large tv over the bar that was showing sports when we were there. It had a nice ambience.

    We got grilled pork spare ribs, scallion pancake, half of a Peking duck, pork xiao long bao, mapo…read moretofu, la zi ji (spicy crispy chicken), and general tsos chicken. The grilled pork spare ribs was good, but it was too little meat for the price. The scallion pancake was bland. The Peking duck was ok. The pork xiao long bao was bad. The skin broke easily with the included forceps and with chopsticks. It was hard even transferring it to my plate. The mapo tofu was bland. The la zi ji (spicy crispy chicken) was too spicy to eat. I have good spice tolerance, and I always eat la zi ji, but it was just too spicy. This was the only meat dish that was barely touched at the end of the dinner. The best dish was the cumin lamb. It was seasoned well and the lamb was tender. I wish they gave us more lamb though. The meat pieces were small. I've had much better Chinese food in dallas. I would not recommend this Chinese restaurant to anyone.
