Spice Jar: A Tale of Two Worlds - Delicious Food, Bumpy Service My Spice Jar experience was a curious tale of two halves: foodie paradise on the plate, and a bit of convenience store chaos in the air. Let's delve into the delicious first. The Food: Oh, the food! It was a vibrant tapestry of pungent spices and aromatic flavors. The lamb vindaloo (7/10) wrestled with my taste buds, offering a great flavor profile but leaving me yearning for a more intense fire. The chicken tikka masala (8/10), however, hit the spice sweet spot perfectly. Rich tomato gravy hugged tender chicken cubes, each bite an explosion of comfort and warmth. The goat biryani (9/10) was a revelation. Fluffy rice studded with succulent goat, aromatic spices, and caramelized onions – it was a symphony of textures and tastes. And the samosas (10/10). They were golden titans, crisp and flaky on the outside, bursting with spiced-potato goodness within. A single bite transported me to bustling street markets, a testament to their authenticity. The chili garlic naan (10/10) deserves a standing ovation. Fluffy, chewy, and infused with the perfect blend of chilies and garlic, it was the ideal dipping companion. Every morsel begged to be scooped up in its warm embrace. The Service: Now, the service (6/10) was a bit of a bumpy ride. Tucked away in the convenience store side with the main restaurant closed, things got a tad hectic. Orders got mixed up, wait times stretched, and the overall ambiance lacked the charm I expected. I give the staff credit for handling the unexpected rush with relative grace, but it took a bit of the shine off the dining experience. The Verdict: Despite the slight service hiccup, Spice Jar's food shines brightly. The bold flavors, generous portions, and exquisite textures left me wanting more. If you're chasing a spice adventure, and don't mind a touch of quirky ambience, Spice Jar is worth a visit. Just be prepared for a potential convenience store detour!

The restaurant was empty when we went, everything was very clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. All the food was freshly prepared and so very tasty. For everything that we ordered the price was not bad and the portions were huge.

I order take out. The food is always fresh, tasty, and hot made to order. The man at the counter in the market is very kind. The ladies are very nice as well. The market has many Indian snacks, drinks, and spices. Love this place. I go every 3 weeks for take out Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Recommended dishes Rice Chicken Tikka Masala
Went for dinner on a Thursday. We got the 14.99 deal for a non vegetarian complete dinner (they have several dishes/options). In my opinion the food was not amazing but it was good. Good enough for the price and descent portions served. They also offer buffet until 3pm but we missed that. Apparently on Saturday’s they have champagne offers, they serve beer as well. I’m not an expert in this type of food, so at the same time I was just comparing it to Punjab Palace in riverside (Chicago avenue). Based on that, I give the food 4 stars instead of 5. I liked the place though, pretty clean and nice looking.
The food is simply incredible. I had the somosas, Tika masala chicken, a lamb dish (that unfortunately I can't remember the of) and garlic Naan bread. The Somosas crispy on the outside soft and flaky on the inside. They were delicious try them with some of the sauces they offer. The red sauce is sweet while the green is spicy the white one is made out of yogurt which is my favorite. The Tika masala we got was made from the oven chicken which was soft and tender. Wonderful flavor I do recommend it please be aware there are bones and sometimes nerves in it. But we were told before hand. The lamb which was the 4th lamb item on the list was tasty. When you think of lamb sometimes you can get a strong flavor this was very mild and it just fell apart and melted in your mouth. Now the service wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. They are great but if you want top notch service don't come they will annoy you. We didn't mind to sit for a minute and then have to ask for certain things. But if you feel you have to be catered to then just order to go because the food is still great.

Good food, very good flavor, loved their desserts, they do take a little long for your order, I guess because everything is made fresh, our order took 45 minutes to be ready, I'll recommend you to order ahead. Place was messy everything was everywhere, all this at the store side. Restaurant side is closed, only take out is available. Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20

Tasty food and friendly service. The tables may be on occasion a little untidy but let them know and they will clean it up right away. Great Punjabi style food. Stuffed tandoori Parantha are great. Have been regularly visiting this place for the past five+ years especially during pandemic. Never disappointed.
