Spice of India — Restaurant in Kitchener

A True Taste of India: Authentic and Affordable! 🌟 Buffet at $16 plus tax @ $17.5 Per person. 💝

I had the delightful experience of dining at this fabulous Indian restaurant today, and let me say, it was a feast of authentic Indian flavors! 🍛 The dinner buffet was a gastronomic journey, offering a variety of both non-vegetarian and vegetarian delicacies, all resonating with genuine Indian taste! 🤤

The non-veg section boasted five exquisite dishes including succulent Tandoori Chicken 🍗, creamy Butter Chicken, flavorful Goat Gravy, and a couple more chicken gravies, complemented by fluffy rice and soft, warm naan 🍚🍞.

Vegetarian offerings were equally impressive, with rich Paneer, spicy Aloo Masala 🥔, hearty Chana Masala, and comforting Dal. The range of salads 🥗, and dressings were diverse and the desserts, oh the desserts! Gulab Jamun, Kheer, Custard Apple 🍨, along with Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream 🍦, were a sweet ending to a delectable meal!

And the best part? All this culinary richness comes at an extremely affordable price of $16 per person! 😱 Drinks were an additional feature, with pops at $2, beer at $7 per pint 🍺, and single shots of a variety of spirits at $7 per shot 🥃. Though the bartenders, our loving Indian uncles and aunties, might need to up their mixing game, the warmth in their service and the excellence in the food and hospitality made up for it.

Pros:

Authentic and diverse Indian menu 🍲.

To all my fellow food lovers out there, if you crave a journey through the rich and diverse landscape of Indian cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit! 🎉 I highly recommend it and guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy the flavors, the ambiance, and the love poured into every dish!...

Pros : Economic Near to other shops such as no frills, dollar tree , shoppers and so on Nice variety of items They gave me masala chai instead of pop. That’s a great gesture and thank you. Nice ambience and lot of free space to sit. Not a congested one. Very near to bus stop and huge parking space. 7 days a week - all time buffet ( 11 to 9 I Guess ). Not many can do this. Rasamalai is fantastic. They will never urge you to go out after you finished eating. Pleasant in talking and smiling.

Cons : Taste is not that high. Sometimes in some dishes we can get some old oil smell. Some items are not available though it is promised over phone. In one time, there were no gulab jamun. I was very particular and the person said it will be there. But they were not there. I felt embarrassed to ask it and and after asking three times, they just provided one gulab jamun for each person. The whole concept of buffet is lost ( eat freely without asking and getting embarrassed ). It’s their rule. Nothing wrong. But just that other restaurant do not generally do that. My Son is just turned 3 and he barely ate 5% of what I ate. Still charged 50% of adult rate.

Conclusion : good to go if you don’t expect too much and want an economic Indian buffet and good family time and do grocery shopping...

worst Indian buffet, I ever had so far. for 15$, they had no item that was cooked properly. we wasted 45$ for 3 people and not even one person was liking even a single dish over there.

butter chicken was like sweet porridge - full of sugar no non-veg biryani only veg biryani was available and that also was same as white rice with no spice and even salt no fresh naan or bread offered - it was all laid out along with other dishes and it was not hot at all veg and non-veg dishes were all mixed up and was not kept separately water glasses were so dirty and looked like they had bought used ones all desserts were so horrible mutton curry was full of only bones - no flesh at all

on top of all these, the restaurant was busy with only packing the dishes for some online or skipthedishes orders and they gave 0 importance for customers who were dining there. They topped up some dish, and before even we take it, one guy was keeping on packing those fresh items for online orders

I will NEVER recommend this restaurant for anybody who knows real taste of Indian food. Wondering how people had given so much positive reviews. I suspect, these reviews to be fake ones posted by the people who work there.

I would expect complete compensation for cheating...
