Spice Corner Indian Restaurant Kadikoy — Restaurant in Kadıköy

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the newly opened Indian restaurant in Kadikoy, and I must say, it's undoubtedly one of the best in Asian side. (can even be the best). Our group of 10 people had a delightful culinary journey, sampling an array of dishes that left us quite impressed.

To start, we indulged in Masala Papad, Pani Puri, and Onion Bhaji, which set the tone for an authentic Indian experience. The flavors were vibrant, and the ingredients fresh. I liked the Onion Bhaji very much. Very crispy outside and juicy inside. The sauce with it balances the flavors.

The main courses were equally impressive. The Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Vindaloo, and the Spice Corner Special Biryani were highlights of the meal. The chicken, marinated overnight, was incredibly tender, and the spice balance was on point. I particularly appreciated the option to choose the spice level, making it suitable for all palates. I personally liked the Chicken Tikka Masala the most. Biryani was also very delicious but I should have ordered a milder spicy option. But for spice fans, it’s a must try!

Accompanying our dishes, we enjoyed a refreshing Mango Lassi and perfectly baked Garlic Naan. As a delightful gesture of hospitality, the owner treated us to complimentary Masala Tea, which was a heartwarming touch.

The service was outstanding - fast, friendly, and professional. The personnel exuded cheerfulness, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant's cleanliness was commendable, and the seating on the second floor was perfect for our large group, providing a sense of privacy and comfort.

For this good quality the prices are very reasonable. The portions could be slightly bigger, especially the chicken dishes. Biryani comes with a bigger plate. Appetizers are very affordable, I’d even better say cheap. You can have a feast for 350TL-400TL tops.

For those who enjoy the spicier side of Indian cuisine, this restaurant is a haven. However, I'd recommend going for a milder spice level or opting for the vegetable raita to balance the heat, especially with the Biryani dishes that come with a side of rice.

The restaurant exhibits great potential, considering how new it is to the scene, and traditional and original it is when it comes to showcase Authentic Indian Cuisine. The quality of the food, the presentation, and the exceptional service all contribute to a memorable dining experience. I'm confident this establishment will soon become a culinary sensation in Kadikoy.

Overall score 4.5/5 for an...

NOW I love Indian and Pakistani cuisine!

This is a brand new “must try” Indian restaurant in our area. Very nice, helpful staff giving you a chance to choose your “spice level” out of 6. (We eat very hot and spicy and ordered a “4” and it was perfect!) We will be regulars for sure. Thank you for opening such a wonderful place in Kadıköy. UPDATE: We are regulars of this wonderful restaurant now. We’ve tried almost every meal on the menu. We usually start off with papadoms or panipuris (great starters while waiting for your order) When Indian Cuisine was new to me, I’d go for plain steamed Basmati rice, now my favourite is the Vegetable Mix Basmati one 😋 Another “MUST order is the Black + buttered lentil food: the famous “Dahl” ❤️ I would also recommend the lamb meal 🥘 Yummy They bith go great with the veg. rice. Enjooooy the experience. PS: I’ve also tried spice level 5, it was too hot for me (even though I still enjoyed it) and yet I really llloovve spicy food (Remember: spice level 5 out of 6 might be too hot...

Traveling from 🇨🇦 & after eating Turkish food for one week straight, I decided to try our first Indian Restaurant on the Asian Side (Kadikoy). It's located right near the Ferry Station (walking distance)

I ordered Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala & Paneer Butter Masala with 2x different types of Naans (Garlic & Sesame Seed Naans) and let me tell you the taste was 100% authentic Indian Paneer/Pakistani Lahori Biryani. Taste just like Punjab. They use proper seasoning and just the right amount of salt and spices. We couldn't stop eating even after we were full.

The drinks in the bar fridge were not cold. So I recommend asking for some ice if you are going to be ordering drinks.

The atmosphere is 4/5. They should decorate it more, in my opinion. Maybe put up some Bollywood instrumental songs, etc.

Service was super fast. Very friendly staff. Greeted us very well. Fair prices as well!

The washroom was very clean as well. 5 stars...
