Food is great! Service is great. We ordered Indian chinese - paneer chilli and paneer manchurian and chicken lollipop were great. Nisar was the manager who made sure we enjoyed our food and the occasion.

My roommate and I went here for dinner after a long week and it was the perfect place to end our Friday night with. The food was amazing, the service was even better. The owner made sure to talk to us on our way out and all the staff was excellent. Nisar specifically made sure that our entire time was well spent, he recommended dishes to us and it did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this place. It almost felt like we were in India and experiencing their hospitality forgot this is nyc for a second.

The staff were courteous and attentive. We visited earlier in the evening, before the rush hour, and had the place almost to ourselves. The food was mostly delicious, with the chili paneer standing out. However, the Palak Paneer was a bit dry, the Veg Manchurian was chewy, and the garlic naan could have been fresher and softer. Despite the restaurant being relatively empty, the food arrived quickly, but unfortunately, the quality didn't quite match our expectations. Overall, a pleasant experience with room for improvement.

Tonight I dined at the Spice Symphony on E 50th St for the first time, and it was a great experience. The manager, Nisar, was our server, and he was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us choose items from the menu. The staff was very attentive, constantly refilling our water and checking in. The food was all very good. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice as well! Highly recommend!

This was ok restaurant, nothing outstanding. We ordered Delhi chat, Palak chat and mushroom starter out of that Delhi chat was not good, other two were pretty good. For main course we ordered Delhi chicken tikka, kofta(too sweet) , makhana curry, bhindi. Everything was ok. I loved the Chinese Hakka noodles. Mango and rose kulfi was two sweet. Malai kulfi was good. Masala soda was very good. Overall ok experience. Did not stand out jackfruit biryani for me. Food is very expensive as compared to taste.
