Spice Culture — Restaurant in South Plainfield

Updated-

"Desi ghee-wala butter chicken with lachedaar parantha for dinner! Hi, guys! Another favorite of mine from Spice Culture in South Plainfield. The chicken is marinated overnight and grilled to perfection in a tandoor. The diced chicken is simmered in a spicy, and creamy tomato gravy with oodles of Desi ghee.

Time for a flavor check - Spicy, aromatic, nutty, and creamy! The Desi ghee adds another layer of richness, making it one of the most decadent version of butter chicken that you will find in New Jersey!

Piping hot American chopsuey to warm your soul on this cold winter evening! Hi guys, I'm at Spice Culture in South Plainfield, the mecca of Desi Chinese in New Jersey!

Chopsuey roughly translates to odds and ends or an assorted mix, and here at Spice Culture, they generously stir fry veggies and chicken chunks in a sweet and spicy sauce, finally topping it off with a half-fried egg!

Let's do a flavor check— load up a big bite! Irresistibly crunchy, tangy yet sweet, and spicy! The soulful sauce , the tender chicken chunks, and the perfectly crunchy noodles. Totally yum!

One of finest Indian restaurants in NJ that serves authentic Indian, mughlai , thai and chinese food. From kebabs to butter chicken to thai curry to hakka noodles, everything on the menu is just absolutely delicious.

As you wander around south plainfield area, this hidden gem is located in a busy shopping area that houses all big retail stores. Parking is easily available and the big hoardings ensure you can find Spice Culture. They are open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner.

It's an Indian fine dining restaurant that has an ambient cozy setup with a bar that has some nice flavorful cocktails. Their chicken, mutton and fish curries are absolutely to die for.

The staff is very attentive and warm and I would highly recommend reservations on weekends. Weekdays you can walk in.

They love live performances on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights. Bollywood songs and karaoke keeps this place alive and the food just adds to the atmosphere.

I've eaten here multiple times with friends and family and my absolute favorite is there green thai curry with fried rice. My next favorites are the chicken dishes, you can order any appetizers or entree and you wont go wrong. Tandoori platters and sizzlers are a crowd pleaser.

A Hidden Gem in South Plainfield – An Unforgettable Experience at Spice Culture!

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but after my recent experiences at Spice Culture, I just had to share. From dining at the restaurant to hosting my son’s 5th birthday party in their banquet hall, everything was simply outstanding.

The food is absolutely phenomenal – rich in flavor, fresh, and beautifully presented. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm smile by the front staff who are not only friendly but also incredibly attentive and supportive. The entire restaurant is neat, clean, and extremely well-maintained, which really enhances the overall dining atmosphere. Hats off to the management – their attention to detail and commitment to excellence are clearly reflected in every aspect of the service. They truly care about creating a memorable experience for their guests.

Banquet Hall Experience: We also booked their banquet hall to celebrate my son’s 5th birthday, and I couldn't have asked for a better venue. The service was above and beyond expectations. The management worked closely with us and went out of their way to ensure that everything was perfect. Their dedication to giving customers full value for their money is evident in how smoothly the event ran. The support staff was exceptional – courteous, professional, and highly efficient. The hall itself is spacious, beautifully decorated, nicely designed for parties and very well maintained, offering a perfect backdrop for any celebration.

Fast forward to June 23/2023.

Had a dinner with our friends here. As previously stated food here still taste great. Couple of issues though. SC has started charging credit card processing fees. Who does that In restaurant business. On top of that they charged mandatory 18% gratuities on party of four or more. Unless you are small mom and pop retail business, no one charged credit card processing fees. Whole word is conversing over to digital payment and the owner of the restaurant should know this unless he is oblivious to what goes around the world. Just for this reason I wouldn’t recommend this place. 2.99% credit card fees adds up pretty fast.

After eight months decided to go for indoor dining Restaurent at SpIce Culture the Indo-Chinese Restaurent who’s ownership has been changed and it used call NanKing. Same decor, menu has been changed to include more northern punjabi dishes. Went to check the place first to see how the seating arrangement were. Spice culture followed the CDC guideline and Restaurent only had 25% table capacity nicely arranged six feet away and in each corner. We ordered indo-Chinese and one punjabi dishes. From the taste of the food I can tell that kitchen staff were same with some addition and deletion. Regardless food was extremely tasty, same as when we used to visit the place pre covid. Chanchal was our host, quiet entertaining and was prepared to service the Restaurent patrons with smile and excellent reception. Initially we were hesitant to eat inside, but when we sat for dinner and during our two hours stay, we saw couple of folks came in for dinner but due to the setup of tables, we were all in our each corner which made me feel good. Great Restaurent with tasty food and good service. Would recommend dining here as long as you feel safe for you and...
