We had paranthas for breakfast and faced issues with all of them. Ghobi parantha was all scrambled and Aalo parantha did not have salt in it. When communicated the issue with the staff, they tried proving us wrong. This is not customer service when you try to prove the customer's opinion or problem baseless/wrong. Won't ever visit again!

Best butter chicken I’ve had. Melts in your mouth. Creamy and seasoned just right. I’ll give them another chance to redeem themselves for the burnt naan around the edges of a stuffed one I got (middle was good). That’s the only star loss. Samosas are tasty. I will be ordering again. Can’t comment on service as I had delivery.

Last 14 years , I already eat from several indian restaurants in bc ,but this time the food is no 1,perfect flavor, perfect spice,perfect quantity, perfect packed and very quick delivery through door dash, the tawa roti is better than homemade roti, thanks alot to chef and other staff members.

Its really hard to find authentic tasty food. I’m glad I dinned here. We ordered veg and non veg Thali. The quantity of food was wholesome and could barely completed it. Mango lassi was just as you would expect. Was blown away by Masala Chai ☕️, soooo good. Service was quick.

This is such a great find! The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for Indian food! The food is a perfect combination of being flavourful with aromatic spices without overpowering the dishes. We had samosas to start and the pastry was very light and flaky. Highly recommend this little gem!

I think the management changed here. The last time we ordered meals, my husband and I got really sick - food poisoning! It was really bad! I would stay clear of the place, they are not clean and their food is old. Weve ordered takeout from a lot of restaurants and this is the first time we got food poisoning. Food

I would avoid this place for a few more weeks as they figure things out. Many issues including initially losing my order, then quoting a 25-minute wait - but actually waiting close to 60-minutes. No apology. Lots of growing pains. Give them a few weeks/months hopefully they figure it out.

Great new spot for authentic Indian food. I did take out for an early dinner and the food was great. I ordered chaat, plain rice, garlic naans, palak paneer and shahi paneer. The naans were generously cooked with garlic, which I love and the paneer dishes were perfectly seasoned and not overly heavy with masala. The Shahi paneer I thought was a little sweeter than I m used to, but I understand some people prefer it that way, me not so much, but still good. Also, the paneer was not chewy! It was soft. Will definitely be our new go to when we re craving Indian food.

Ordered the Malai Kofta and Chicken Korma. Really excellent food for the price, good portion sizes, the garlic naan was great. The Malai Kofta was very hearty but fluffy at the same time and I really enjoyed them. The Chicken Korma.....wasnt. It was closer to butter chicken or chicken masala, had a tomato base, not yogurt and cashew, and none of the spicing I would expect in a korma. Korma was written on the receipt, so I hope it was an honest mistake as opposed to serving what they had on hand or assuming I would not know the difference.

1st time going to this place and I will definitely be going back. The prices are alot cheaper than surrounding Indian places in Ladner and Tsawwassen so I hope that doesnt change. Around 6 or 7 dollars cheaper. I was expecting smaller portions based off the price but that wasnt the case the chicken vindaloo was loaded with chicken and the side of rice was a huge side of rice.

We bought dinner for a Birthday and the food was so good. We are very picky with Indian food and The Spice Root beat our expectations for sure. We ordered 5 dishes + Tandoori chicken (so tender), Nann and rice. All meat and veggie dishes were excellent. The customer service was good too and they listened to our requests. We have family members that cant handle spice (raise my hand) so we asked for mild spice and we actually got a good mild spice, also they were right on time with our order, we asked to pick it up at 4:00pm and it was hot, packed and ready to go at 4:00pm. 100% will order again. Thanks for coming to town.

This is our newest go-to and we frequent it several times a week because the food is wonderful and they have the best garlic naan. Tried all the dishes and cant settle with a favorite but I can say they are all made with perfection. Had a goat vindaloo last night, wasnt on the menu but they were willing to sub it for lamb. Nice chunks of goat in a very tasty sauce. Great with rice. Also love the tikka masala chicken and the coconut chicken. Only thing I wish they would change is to not use basa fish. Highly recommend it. Best East Indian food in Ladner. Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie choices.

I ordered some biryani from these guys and I even asked them for the cutlery on the phone. I got my food and left. When I opened the package there was no spoon or fork and no napkins either. How am I supposed to eat? With my bare hands? I guess you guys should use some common sense that at least you can include one spoon or a fork and couple napkins. That is not gonna cost you millions. This is your job to check not the customer s job.

We have had take out from Spice Root four times now and the food has been excellent every time. I can recommend the chicken curry, tikka masala, chicken tikka and chicken korma.

First time ordering here, and we are impressed! We did the lunch special, which is really like a small Thali, or combo, I guess. For only $10 you get a veg sauce, dal, rice, raita, naan, and a gulab jamun. The price is great for the portion, but we were skeptical, so for 4 of us we added a lamb combo for only $12, same options. We wanted to try the different sauces, so we ordered Shahi Paneer for one, Kadai Paneer for another, and Aloo Gobhi for the last one ... we got Palak Paneer on all three. No big deal, it tasted great, but it was not what we ordered. A quick email or two, and the owner agreed to giving us the other 3 the next day. Went back expecting 3 small dishes, and we got 3 complete meals. Also ordered 4 samosas ... Ladner, are you looking for cheap good veggie samosas? Get them here! Excellent! Over all, the service, (once the error was fixed) was fantastic, the food was excellent, good value for the price. The atmosphere? Well, it is a small place, but there are a few tables, and it looked comfortable. Parking is a bit of a joke, but hey! Welcome to Ladner, we should have walked there LOL Parking: Almost no parking available near restaurant

You know its good when the spice aroma tickles your senses from across the road! The chicken is absolutely melt in the mouth tender! We ordered the medium heat, yes, there is hot, but medium hit our sweet spot! We enjoyed the spinache chicken, butter chicken, curry chicken. Plus, pilao rice, 2 orders garlic naan & raita. Perfect amount the 3 of us! The bill was very reasonable & quantity beyond expectations! The only area of improvement would be another table; But space is at a premium. Affordable, delectable Indian Spice Root will be on our regular rotation! We cant wait to try some of their other dishes & desserts! Just wish Id taken pics, but couldnt wait to partake! Next time, hopefully. Tip: look at the on line menu before you go! Lots to chose from for every budget! Open for lunch too, but take out is also an option! Vegetarian options: Loads of options
