I had been keeping an eye on the opening of this location and I was incredibly excited when it the day came that it finally opened. We ordered delivery from Spicelife and each of our orders came precisely as we had requested. My husband likes to be in physical pain when he eats and the spice level was exactly as he desired but it also allowed him to taste and enjoy his meal (so many restaurants just add burning heat and the other flavors are lost entirely). The second time we dined, we visited for lunch with our infant (who stole most of my heavenly garlic naan) - our food was impeccable. Consistency is key and this places does it right! Wonderful variety of choices for your standard lunch/dinner items. Our most recent meal was this evening, we had noticed the unique bowl offering which I can describe most closely relates to a bowl at CAVA (for my DCMV peeps) or a rice bowl at a place like Chipotle....just 1,000,000 times better. It's an Indian Buffet in a bowl! You have the option to add rice, all sorts of curries (chicken, lamb, lentil, chickpea...you name it), as well as sauces and vegetables. To top it all off, two slices of toasty warm naan are included in your meal for $10.95. You won't find a better tasting or better priced meal anywhere else. We've tried so many Indian restaurants in the area over the last year and Spicelife is head and shoulders above the rest. If you're doing deliver, eating in, or picking up for takeaway - you will always have a delicious meal.

I learned about this place through Yelp and it was on my list, so when the opportunity came up, I was excited to try this place, but also slightly skeptical. This is a make-your-own-bowl kinda Indian place, and I have tried a similar style Indian food in the past with disappointing results. As soon as you enter the restaurant, the cleanliness and amount of space stood out to me. This place can accommodate many small and big parties of people. The food is North Indian, so if you are even slightly familiar with Indian food, then I am sure you will be comfortable creating your own bowl. I chose to create my own vegetarian bowl and got a piece of naan on the side. You can also ask for raita (yogurt dip), fresh cilantro chutney and pickles (Indian vegetable pickles) on the side. Again, I was slightly skeptical, but all the ingredients came together very well and I was very impressed! It was a delicious bowl of the food I loved and ate till my food baby tummy was visible. The quality, quantity and taste of the food justifies the price of the bowl. Check out this place ASAP.

I ordered carryout. I would've ordered ahead online, but I wanted to scope the place out in person. My first impression was that it looked a little Chipotle like, with hot food in steam pans behind a sneeze guard, but that's for people ordering bowls. I ordered off the regular menu: Samosas, Aloo Gobi, Chicken Tika Masala and Butter Naan. The food took about 20 minutes to be ready, and 10 minutes later it was still hot when I got home. The rice was so fragrant. All the dishes were really tasty and the samosas were huge. I will definitely be ordering from here again. Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow.

I HAVE EATEN HERE RETURNED ATLEAST 20+ TIMES, AND BROUGHT WITH ME 10 FRIENDS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE STAFF WELCOME ME WITH A SMILE AND ASK ME HOW IVE BEEN EVEY SINGLE TIME, AND DIFFERENT STAFF TOO! THIS IS MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN GAITHERSBURG AREA. THE BOWL IS UNBEATABLE. I LOVE THE BUTTER CHICKEN, THE GARLIC NAAN, BIRIYANI. THE BOWL IS AMAZING, SO MUCH FOOD, BUT THE REST OF THE MENU IS ALSO SO AUTHENTIC. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SPICE LIFE. HIDDEN GEM. THEY NEED TO START AN INSTAGRAM. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED COMING HERE. (This bowl is about 2x as heavy as a chipotle bowl)

We went here to get Dosas. We tried the rava onion masala dosa and vindaloo dosa. Vindaloo dosa was spicy and savory. Comes with Masala. Spicyness was perfect. Comes with 2 sauces and a curry. Rava onion masala dosa has cashew and onion. It was good too. Not the best dosas we have tasted. But did the job.
