Spice Symphony Times Square — Restaurant in New York

FANTASTIC DINING EXPERIENCE

We recently visited Spice Symphony at Times Square and it was such a fantastic experience.

Right from the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by their Manager, Rakesh. He got us comfortably seated and gave a brief overview of the resturant. The restaurant has a vast selection of wines & spirits and we were spoilt for choice. The restaurant has a very warm & inviting decor and we got really good tables to soak it all in.

We started off with the Cocktails which had funky Indian names and lived up to their hype. The food arrived soon enough and we dig into the Daahi Kebab which was better than the one I've had in India. The Chilly Chicken was scrumptious.

For the main course, we ordered the Butter Chicken with Garlic Naan and the Malvani Chicken. The Butter Chicken was perfectly cooked and the garlic naan pairing was heavenly. The Malvani Chicken had a real punch to it and was perfectly paired with the Basmati rice.

Our server, Fedora, insisted that we try their signature Creme Caramel Dessert which was so good that we wanted to take one home.

This has been one of our best experiences in New York. A big shout out to the entire team of Spice Symphony, specially Chef Roldao and the kitchen team for churning out one delicious dish after another. They have curated an amazing menu with the highest quality and taste.

I can't wait to visit the restaurant again and try more dishes. It's a Must Visit when you are...

I tried the Spice Symphony in LES a few times; I was pleasantly surprised to see a new one open near me. It was nice and lively in there; worth stopping by if you want a drink, but the food is so good I recommend grabbing something while you're there!

When it comes to Indian places, I use naan as my litmus test since I noticed places that tend to put a lot of effort into this staple tend to put the same effort into everything else. They passed with flying colors, in particular their garlic naan. That stood out on its own but paired with the Chicken Korma, it felt like that scene from Ratatouille, haha.

One of my favorite things at the other Spice Symphony was their Indian-Chinese section on the menu, which I'm glad to see carried over to this location. The unanimous favorite among the guys was the chicken lollipops!! They went too quickly to grab a photo, but hands down, it is probably my favorite from this restaurant.

Someone in the group ordered daal, a vegetarian option for anyone interested. I had a bit and it was equally impressive. My girlfriend ordered the chicken tikka masala, one of her favorite dishes, and she said it's some of the best in the city. You usually have high expectations for restaurants in this part of the city, and this place lives up to all of them. Definitely recommend it to anyone reading this; you won't be...

TL;DR: Indo-Chinese done the right way. Low on MSG but hits the absolute perfect spot. The ambiance/setup is also very cozy.

Went here for my birthday lunch and the place wasn't busy which is exactly what I wanted. What was also a pleasant surprise to me was that most of their staff were speaking in Marathi - my native language! That is not influencing this review at all, because the food is absolutely amazing!

Specific shoutout to Omkar, Vicky, and Rakesh for their excellent service and hospitality. Also to executive Chef Ashok Baswal for adding tremendous flavor to how Indo-Chinese food should really be! Of course, not surprised given they are all fellow Mumbaikars!

We kept our order short and simple; mango lassi for our little one, hot & sour soup, sweet corn soup, and chicken manchow soup for appetizers; paneer schezwan gravy, hakka noodles, and the very popular Mumbai Indo-Chinese triple schezwan - all of which were vegetarian.

On our recent visit, we also tried their Chinese Bhel which was delicious.

Food arrives within 20 minutes of ordering. Soups are absolutely flavor punched and so were the entrees. Undeniably - one of the best Indo-Chinese places in Manhattan. Overall - a very positive experience and this will be our to-go restaurant for...
