Indian Spice Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Violet Township

EXTRAORDINARY. This was not just a meal, it was a culinary adventure. We came here for lunch on a Friday, and ordered onion kulcha, roasted eggplant bharta (extra spicy), salmon tikka masala (mild), and palak paneer (medium).

The service was charming and impeccable from everyone on the staff and the manager. Our hostess was enchanting and our servers friendly and eager to accommodate. We were treated with such courtesy and hospitality, it was like we were eating a fancy dinner at a friend's house.

EVERYTHING came out quickly (they told us 20, but it was more like maybe 10 minutes), and EVERYTHING was expertly cooked to the exact spice level we ordered. Everything was deeply flavorful and piping hot, the quality of the ingredients and care with preparation was immediately evident. The bread was soooo fresh, soft, and obviously house made - beyond satisfying. The flavors are just so rich and pure, I don't even know how to explain it. These are people who respect and love food as much as their customers.

Even better: there is a buffet on the weekends (Sat-Sun only), so we will be coming back to try as many incredible dishes as possible.

I predict that within the next year, once Pickerington has discovered this jewel, we may have to start making reservations or coming at off-hours. EXCELLENT experience from beginning to end. WE...

Wow! I can't say enough good things about Indian spice. I went there with my fiancé a few weeks back and tried so much food. We had 3 appetizers, both got entrees, and finished with dessert. Everything was insanely delicious. Fresh ingredients, beautifully plated, I thought to myself " I think this restaurant deserves a Michelin star"

So, after weeks of dreaming about the food, I ordered myself some to pick up while my fiancé was out snow plowing. Shortly after ordering it, I realized my fiancé had my car keys and I would not be able to go pick it up. I called to cancel my order, and they stated it was already made. I was prepared to eat the cost of my own mistake, but the staff at Indian Spice offered to deliver my food to me, at no extra cost. Talk about custom service. The guy who delivered my order would not even take the tip I offered.

I would like to say, delivery is not a service that they offer, and I don't want anyone to get upset if they do not offer it to them, as the guy who helped me stated this was a one-time solution and I would never expect it again. I just wanted to celebrate a restaurant that has top tier food, paired with the best customer service I have seen in...

For starters, I love the menu here from top to bottom. They have all the essentials plus some less common dishes you don't find at many local Indian restaurants. I've had their chicken chily and smoked eggplant bharta (both medium heat), and both were amazing. Flavors and textures were on point and I wouldn't change a thing! That was probably the best chili chicken I've ever had. I could definitely tolerate hotter, but medium was a good amount of heat without overwhelming the dishes. Their bhatura was also excellent. My friend thought very highly of their chicken tikka masala and butternut squash soup, so nothing but praise for every dish we ordered. This place is top-notch! The restaurant has a pretty decent vibe, a full bar, and cozy seating. I did takeout, as most customers seem to do, but I wouldn't mind dining in some day. Based on my first visit, this place beats out any Indian restaurant I've been to in or near Columbus! They'll be seeing more of me!

(The phone number on their website went straight to voicemail every time I called, but they were answering the phone regularly for takeout orders when I went into the restaurant. Maybe the number on the...
