The Spices Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Sheboygan

My wife was excited. She had discovered a new restaurant she wanted to take me to. So a 30 mile trip to the south side of Sheboygan was in store. We entered a very spacious, light and tidy dining area and were immediately seated. Wait person was friendly and efficient, our service was excellent throughout our experience here. We were given bottled water, which I found a bit odd... but okay. We ordered veggie samosas, vegetable momos, cheese naan and shrimp korma. While we waited for our food we watched the two televisions above the bar. Best as I can describe they were playing Indian music videos. Very entertaining...lavish costumes and grand productions. Young men and women earnestly singing to each other. Hugging, but never kissing. Then the food started coming. The samosas first....oh man, were they good! Then the naan and momos. I love a good naan. So I loved the naan here. Both sauces were perfect. Mint and tamarin I believe. So far it had been a stellar experience. Then came our main dish. The flavors were complex and delicious. Had never seen rice quite like we got; but I need more of it. Along with the shrimp korma made for a great main course. All in all, an excellent meal. In retrospect two appetizers would have been plenty. Having three and sharing a main course was more than sufficient. Usually I'll quit when I'm full; but here the flavors kept me nibbling away until I was stuffed Vegetarian friendly with plenty of choices for all diets. If you are looking for an Indian food fix, it would behoove you to patronize this fine...

I know this is a relatively new restaurant and there are always kinks to work out before running smoothly. With that being said, we went there tonight based on reviews we heard about the food. The food was decent. I had mushroom chicken and my wife had curry chicken. Both were flavorful and good. The friends we were with had lamb stir fry and some fish dish. The lamb in the stir fry was done to the point of bordering on charcoal briquettes, and I'm pretty sure the fish was Van de Kamps frozen fillets. (Understandable, as they are not an American cuisine restaurant). The part that was disappointing was the amount of time it took for us to get our food. We waited just shy of an hour before even getting our appetizers. It took about another 45 minutes to get our main course. Again, I understand the whole being relatively new, but our server never once stopped at our table to inform us of the delays or issues causing the delays. Stuff happens, I get it... my wife has been a server in restaurants for many years. Always keep your customers informed... it saves a lot of grief in the long run. I'm not sure we'll be going back...

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Spices Bar and Restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and warm, but what truly made the evening exceptional was the outstanding service.

The service staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. In particular, our server deserves the highest praise – not only was he extremely attentive and professional, but he also showcased incredible creativity by preparing a special Screwdriver cocktail that was unique and refreshing. His genuine hospitality, attention to detail, and friendly demeanor elevated the entire dining experience.

The food was equally impressive – each dish was flavorful, authentic, and beautifully presented. The combination of excellent cuisine and extraordinary service made the visit truly memorable.

I highly recommend Spices Bar and Restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Indian dining experience with top-notch service. A special thank you to the server who truly made the evening special – his professionalism and warm personality are a big reason I’ll be...
