This is a casual Indo-Chinese restaurant with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, providing a nice view of the exterior. Orders are taken by a waiter, as normal, but the food is served with a robot server. The robot goes very slowly, so there's no reason to be scared of it. This place is great for families, friends, and large groups.
The food comes in huge portions for a good price, and is very tasty. The tempura ice cream is enough for two, and as our server mentioned, 2 entrees are about 25 oz, so enough for a family of three like us, especially with appetizers.
We ordered the drums of Heaven (chicken drumsticks), crispy chilli baby corn, stir fry beef, combo fried rice, Manchurian shrimp, and fried ice cream, which came out to $113 including the service charge. We ended up packing one entree and one appetizer, and were insanely full by the end, so you could definitely just order fewer dishes and have a bill closer to $70 for three people.
On the day we went, several of the dishes were unavailable, e.g. they were out of paneer. Since we came before the dinner rush and were the only people there, I felt this didn't reflect the best planning or inventory strategy. If a restaurant ends up out of a certain item, I'd expect it to be midway through dinner, not before dinner has even started.
Still, the menu is expansive, and the food (especially the baby corn and chicken drumsticks) was great, so I'd recommend a visit anyway.
One thing to note: I'd highly recommend bringing your own water bottles, as there's no tap water, only bottled water that you have to pay for. I didn't know this, as it was my first time, but we saw that most other families brought their own...
Read moreThere are a couple of great things about this place and (unfortunately) many bad things which will explain the rating. There are some legitimate must get items like the chicken lollipop and the burnt garlic chilli chicken fried rice. However, some of their other items can be borderline inedible. For example, we got the lamb sizzler today. The meat is cut up really tiny and it honestly tasted like it was nowhere close to fresh, if you catch my drift.
The real issue here, is the ridiculous wait times you can catch. We ordered pickup and the man on the phone indicated it would take "maximum 30 minutes". My husband arrives there 35 minutes later and they say that the order wasn't ready. So he ended up waiting another 20 minutes to receive our order. There were other people waiting for their food as well, so this indicative of a greater pattern. The kicker is, when we ate our food, none of it was super hot which it should have been if it was just cooked. If anything all of our food was lukewarm at best.
That really raises an eyebrow for me, as to why it took so long to get our food. I would be hesitant to get food here again unless I was seriously craving one of their better dishes.
I truly hope that the service and the quality of some food improves because I think that this is a great addition to the halal restaurant scene and their great dishes are truly...
Read moreHello Everyone! I hate to write this review on Spicewok ! Today without any plan I had to go to Spicewok and Ended up with bad experience, As it’s Valentines Day kids were asking to take to Spicewok and we decided to go after their Tennis class ., As we got to know that we are going to be late .. we checked with management upfront and asked them what time kitchen closes and when the last order will be taken .. we got confirmation saying that 9:15 dine-in after that not allowed.. we made it so sure by reaching and ordering by 9:15 .. However the food we got was delayed (main course) which is around 9:35 to 9:42 pm ., At 9:46 our desert was on the table and at the same time the guy came to us and started saying pls take the Togo boxes ., without we asking he got the Togo boxes at 9:48 along with the bill .. he rushed us so much to complete eating., we haven’t finished 30% of eating and the desert is already melting..None of us including kids had good dinner after spending 77$ ., it’s an unfortunate that we had to go through this on Valentine’s Day with this bad experience.. @Management if you cannot let the people eat peacefully after 9:45 , pls don’t even let anyone dine in after 9:00 and...
