Spice Village truly delivers one of the best Indian dining experiences in Minnesota. Every dish is packed with authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and just the right balance of spices. The biryanis are incredibly aromatic, the curries are rich and flavorful, and the South Indian specialties taste just like homemade food. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. read more

I think this might be the best Butter Chicken I've ever had. Overall, this place is fantastic. My actual rating would be 4.5 out of 5, but I couldn't justify taking away a full star, so I'm rounding up to five since Yelp still doesn't allow half stars. I'm not sure how we didn't find out about this place until almost a year after it opened. Apparently, they've been around since July 2025. The interior of the restaurant looks clean and nice. I already want to go back to dine-in sometime and I'm interested in their weekend buffet. We ordered takeout on a Tuesday for dinner and chose Medium spice for everything. I got the Butter Chicken, and I think it was the best Butter Chicken I've ever had. For the price, I was hoping the portion would be just slightly larger, but taste-wise, it was absolutely amazing. We also ordered the Wet Chicken 65 and really enjoyed that as well. The portion size was pretty decent for this. I would order it again, but I'm also very interested in trying the Chicken 555 next time. My wife got the Szechuan Noodles with Chicken and liked them. I tried some and liked them too. The noodles come in a great sized portion. My Butter Chicken came with rice, but I had to order Garlic Naan separately for an extra $4.50. The Garlic Naan was fantastic, but I was disappointed by how little came with the order for almost $5. Next time, I would be tempted to order two, but then the price starts increasing pretty dramatically. Basically, if you're ordering more than one curry style dish, you'll probably need multiple orders of Garlic Naan unless you're fine eating everything with rice or on its own. During the week, it seems like the restaurant doesn't open until 5 pm. I get it... it's probably slow between lunch hour and 5pm. But it was a little frustrating because we like to pick up takeout shortly after work. When I tried placing the order around 4:45, the earliest available pickup time wasn't until 5:30pm. I really wish they allowed customers to schedule online orders for pickup at 5pm or even 5:15. They do not charge a service fee, which is a big deal for restaurants in 2026. There was no credit card fee either. That also contributed to why I rounded the rating up to five stars. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying this place. It will likely become our new regular Indian unless we want to eat earlier and don't want to wait until 5:30. I wish the Garlic Naan portion was larger, and that the Butter Chicken came with a little more food for the price, but the food is still fantastic. read more

After eating here twice, I can confidently say you should get the Chicken biryani, it's good, but the portions are huge, it's like three meals. I enjoyed the flavors of the lemon coriander soup, and the garlic Naan is great. They just need to tone down the overhead fluorescent lights, especially since they have very nice chandeliers. read more

I'm not sure where I could start, you have to order on line at the Restaurant as if you placed an order on line to go! Seriously odd! Waited 15 minutes for the order ! $40/ for Butter Chicken, 2 Garlic Naan 4 Samosa Butter chicken and Naan a 3.5/ Samosas a 2... Won't be back! Service was confusing at best! It's Indian Food and Indian Staffed, Polite, but difficult to communicate with?! The Bathroom was Spotless, the Restaurant was extremely Clean ! 5 people seated at 5pm.. mostly Take out! Nothing I had warranted $40... maybe $28-30 Tops! read more

In my forever search for the best Indian takeout in Minnesota... And I FOUND IT! Located in a strip mall with lots of great finds, this spot is half grocery store, half restaurant! While there is technically plenty of parking, it was very busy on Friday night when I was swinging by to pick up my food. The restaurant is very simple, with a few booths for dining, which were mostly full, and there was a line of about 6 people waiting for takeout. It was exciting to see so much support for this space. The workers were fabulous: friendly and working diligently to maintain order and make sure everyone had what they needed! I ordered my basics, since it was my first time! Samosas, Garlic Naan, and Butter Chicken! The Samosas were crunchy on the outside, and filled with potatoes, peas, and spices! Perfectly dipped in the accompanying chutneys. Mint was bright and fresh, tamarind was sweet and tangy, just how I like it! Butter Chicken was quite a large serving, bursting with flavor and nuance, which is sometimes missing from takeout versions of this classic. Naan was a bit crisper than I usually like, but the perfect vehicle for the leftover butter chicken sauce. I'm already planning my next order! Check this place out for sure! read more

Spice Village - Butter Chicken, Samosa (2 pcs), Garlic Naan - Grocery Near Me - Apple Valley, Minnesota

Just went here recently with my husband's family and was amazed at the high quality food and the service. Sometimes as a south Asian it's hard to find good quality Indian / Pakistani food but at this restaurant, I felt like I was transported back to South Asia. Everything from the service to the way the food was served in little cooking trays was such a wonderful touch. We tried the popcorn chicken, cauliflower dish, butter chicken, garlic naan, and biryani. Everything was delicious and flavorful. I couldn't stop raving about the butter chicken and garlic naan. The servings are on the smaller side but despite this, we still had a lot of leftovers. My family doesn't eat much though so it was perfect for us. The decor in the place is also very nice. I loved how they have sinks on the outside of the bathrooms to wash your hands. The bathroom is very spacious too - however, it was kind of wet on the ground near the toilet. It could be kept a bit cleaner. Despite this, I had an overall great experience and will definitely recommend this place to everyone I know! read more

Spice Village is really spicing up Apple Valley! Each dish is packed with flavor and can be tailored to the midwestern palate for spice level. For a starter, I tried the vegetarian samosas. They were crispy and flaky and the sauces on the side added a flavorful kick. Our table also tried the chicken tikka masala, andhra chicken curry and butter chicken. They were all similar but had their own differences. The tikka masala and butter chicken were most similar but the butter chicken was creamier and sweeter. The portions sizes were generous and I had a whole meal to take home. Any of these curries I tried would be a great start for anyone trying this restaurant for the first time! They have a buffet option on the weekend which would be nice for trying other flavors! I will definitely be back to try that out. After finishing up at the restaurant I went across the entrance into the grocery store part. They have lots of spices, ingredients and snacks to try. Worth a browse if you're looking to add something new to your grocery list. This was a great first experience at Spice Village! I would definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

Spice Village is a newcomer to Apple Valley's food scene. We went for Saturday buffet and were impressed. The restaurant was clean and friendly. The food on the serving line was fresh, hot and delicious. $20 for the buffet also seems very reasonable. Spice Village is a very welcoming place well worth a visit. read more

We walked in and were greeted by a nice gentleman who told us we could sit anywhere. When you first walk inside, the grocery section is on the left and the restaurant is on the right. I've been to plenty of Indian restaurants over the years, and this was the first time I've seen one that didn't offer fish masala. So I went with the chicken tikka masala and my wife ordered the shrimp masala. A few minutes later the gentleman came back and let us know they didn't have shrimp either. At that point he asked if we wanted to order something else, but we politely declined and decided to leave. If you're out of something major like shrimp, there should really be a sign on the door or at least a heads-up before seating people, just so you don't waste anyone's time. We drove all the way from the Woodbury area hoping to have what we were craving, only to find out it wasn't available. Thankfully there was a restaurant a couple doors down that was open, so we ended up going there instead. read more

Best most authentic Indian cuisine I have had since I was in Asia. Cannot recommend this place enough. Service is spotty, but stay for the food. They only do a lunch buffet during daytime, so we usually order dinner. Again, this place is legit Indian cuisine. It's ruined all other Indian restaurants for me now. read more

We tried the samosas, butter chicken (mild), garlic naan, and Hyderabad Chicken Dum Biryani (spicy). We enjoyed every single one, but my favorite was the garlic naan and butter chicken. Food - Excellent Service - Excellent Ambiance - Excellent Love having this much flavor so close (in Apple Valley). My only complaint is that the lunch buffet is only available on weekends. read more

Trust me when I say, this is best Indian food you'll find! I've eaten at MANY Indian restaurants, this is the most authentic and diverse restaurant I've eaten at. Every dish has a unique flavor profile. No dish is spiced the same. You must try the buffet to truly understand what I'm getting at. I truly hate to disparage Kumars and Mantra bazaar, as I've gone there for many years, but they pale in comparison. read more

One of the best paneer butter masala I've ever had! So delicious.... Sweet corn soup reminded me of how I used to get it in India!! Great place of you are craving delicious Indian food. Definitely will be back. read more

Best Indian food I've ever eaten. The buffet is solid but the à la carte is off the charts good. Be sure to try the street style fried rice and the mutton curry. My two favorites. You won't be disappointed no matter what you order! read more

The veg pakora here is incredible! Everything was wonderfully spiced and delicious. The Peshawari naan is a crisp dream. The mutton is tender and the butter chicken is a delight. Staff wonderfully attentive and service was prompt. This was everything I could have hoped for in this new addition to Apple Valley. My first visit of what will be many. Comfortable and comforting in all the best ways. And the decor makes me smile. read more
