About

Since its beginnings, Spice of India has been a place of creation, from the inception of our restaurant concept down to the very meals our guests are able to make using the farm-fresh menu items of our salad, bar, dishes and buffet. Spice of India had a vision to create a healthy place to eat where possibilities were endless. We decided to open a restaurant full of options that used the freshest fruits and vegetables, plus soups and veggie goods made from Indian Authentic Spices, all following amazing recipes bursting with flavor.

Worst experience.. we are 5 members from Toronto planned to eat indian buffet. The chicken has been expired and inside it’s in black colour. Immediately we told the issue about the waiter instead of giving reasons he said us to try other dishes. They are spoiling the Indian name.

Good place for a quick, casual lunch or dinner on budget. Short list of options, butter chicken, curry chicken, goat, and tanduri chicken. And 4 other veggie options. The food was ok, 85% compared to high-end places. But given the price, it is reasonable. Service is friendly.

1. Absolutely fantastic! Spice of India offers an authentic taste of Indian cuisine, bursting with flavor in every dish. The Butter Chicken was the best I've ever had, and the Garlic Naan was perfect. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Indian food

I've been to the tasty place 4 times and each time the food tasted fantastic! The Chef does it perfect for a enjoyable experience of seasonings and spices. I can't praise the flavors enough. Great job 👏 I noticed even after I leave the food settled amazing. I'll be back many more times to this gem. Very relaxing atmosphere as well.The Goat meat and tandoori chkn and butter chkn are my favorite and recommend.

My spouse and I have been coming to this restaurant for years. We were so excited the first time we walked in to see that the owner was the former owner of Modern India, which we loved when he owned it. This is our go-to place when we want Indian food. The food is always consistent, and very much enjoyed. For the price of the buffet you can't go wrong. I have tried almost everything they have to offer, and loved it all. The decor is simple and clean, but I'm not there for the decor. We are always greeted in such a friendly manner any time we visit. We enjoy it so much, that we even had Christmas day dinner here last year. See you again soon...

Amazing for the price! Dinner buffet costs less than $20 and all the dishes were good to great. Tandoori chicken was the standout. Owner is super friendly and seems to truly care about the restaurant. Decor isn't fancy but has a classic Indian diner vibe. Truly some of the best value in KW.

I went there for dinner on a weekday hesitantly after seeing the mixed reviews. However, the food was actually good compared to the pricing. 4 types of meat offerings. except the dry chicken, I liked the other three which included a lamb item too. They had 3 appetizers, rice, naan, 6 veg options including daal and paneer. They also had pickles, salad, fruits, 3 types of desserts and ice cream. It was not very busy. It looked pretty clean and the person who was there was friendly and accommodating. They also have separate take out menu. You have to order drinks separately. Overall, definitely a good place to go back, also, if you have a tight budget but still want to try tasty 3 course meal with variety, no one can beat this place.

Food is okay here run of the mill Indian food I would say ....but they do have a cheap buffet and that's rare in town also the take out box isn't too bad as well I gave them an extra star for there prices being reasonable..... With the prices of everything going up...I'm glad a place is still trying to keep prices low....offering what most don't in town....I didn't try what was on the menu only buffet items go in the take out box

A nice quiet atmosphere with great service and wonderful food. The Naan is killer and lots of options at the buffet, regardless of what time you dine. Love great food for a good price and this place continues to check all the boxes year after year. You gotta eat here. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Tandoori Chicken are also some of the standouts. Parking: Ample parking and convenience. No driving around to find a spot. Park close for mobility, or do what we do and park further away to get more steps in to help all the food settle!

October 22, 2024

Pathetic service, stale food, never coming back again. Ordered vegetable pakoras n asked what kind of vegetables it would contain server replied vegetable pakora has vegetables obviously! Nobody is that dumb to not know the word vegetable i was asking tor specification. If this a way you talk to a customer then obviously nobody s gonna come there. N when i get there to pickup the food that arrogant girl came again. Just because u r saying have a great day at the end doesn t make it any good!! Improve the customer service first n serve fresh food!!

Receptionist is rude. I am replying ur answer here and editing review, first of all she is not my wife and u dont need to judge anyone s relation, and the second thing if it was violant please file a case and i will saw u in the camara along with the police that what was the actual seen over there, she politely took the food and thanked as well and wished her have a nice day , if its violant in ur POV than i think u guys need to see a doctor, and please if u want some suggestions, i know some of the best specialists.

The owner/manager here was incredibly rude. The food was average at best, with tandoori being the only highlight. After we paid, the owner actually told us not to come back if we planned to eat so much tandoori. It was a really disheartening experience. If they advertise an unlimited buffet, they should deliver without shaming customers. I ll never return to this place again really disappointed by both the food and the attitude.

The taste of food is not good, its like eating leftover from from 2 days back. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. And the people here are also not polite.

September 22, 2024

I called the restaurant on September 8 at 6:55 PM to inquire about the food options. Unfortunately, the lady staff member who answered did not listen to my query properly and abruptly hung up. When I called back to complete my inquiry, her response was unprofessional, and she again hung up, saying bye. While I cant speak for the food, the staffs behavior has left a negative impression. Professionalism is essential in the service industry, as it forms the first and most important impression something that was lacking in this experience. Based on this interaction, I would not prefer to visit.

I called at store to inquire about dishes they serve in buffet. A lady picked the call and told me that we just have cold and hot dishes. When I said can you explain me, she replied that come here and see, I am busy right now and she cut the call right away.

Me and my friend together we had dinner in there, sadly the food was nearly expiring or it was already expired, we got sick , especially the food was very oily and was not at all worth, costed us 25 cad for getting ourselves messed up.

May 22, 2024

They will tell you one price, and charge you another at check-out. The food wasnt worth the original price, let alone 4 dollars extra.

May 22, 2024

Starting with the thali - it doesn t come with raita, which is odd considering that it generally does come with it at other Indian restaurants. When we walked in, we asked if the meat is halal and they said it is. However, I didn t see a halal certification or sticker. The kheer did not taste good and their gulab jaman looked dry. To top it off, they do not pack leftovers. I get that if we went for the buffet option but we ordered thali s. Also, the washroom is very dirty. Overall, for the price we paid, it was not worth it - I wouldn t recommend this place to anyone to dine at.

★★
May 22, 2024

I used to love this place (and the owners previous establishment, Modern India) as it was the only cheap Indian buffet in the region. Theyve started discriminating against Canadian customers (non-veg) recently, and I cant support them anymore. All you can eat is all you can eat, not all you can eat veg or non-veg.

May 22, 2024

No hospitality and they doesnt talk to customer properly.

I wish there will be an option of no star rating. I would love to rate them with no rating. Their service is horrible there was a lady at the counter who is just so rudely. After visiting there i opened the review section and checked that she was rude with everyone not only with us.

I had buffet yesterday. We were 3 people . The food looked stale. Matar paneer didn t had any matar ( peas) and in taste , it was like sugar was put in . Daal makhni was really bad in taste . Curd was bitter . Aloo gobhi had vinegar taste ( I know there is a cauliflower recipe made of vinegar . But item was not cooked properly) Worst thing was, we were 3 people and stewards was insulting. We took some ( little) of everything to taste so we know what is good and take again but because everything was so bad that we had to leave that item just after one bite . And steward forced us to finish what we had and then only take new otherwise they will charge us more . Also anything we ask to bring new at buffet station which either due to its cold or empty , steward said it s 7:30 and last entry to new customer in restaurant by 8 so there is not going to any refill, even though we were there since 7 pm . And we all 3 of us got sick since we came from the place .

I called this restaurant to place an order. The woman who answered the phone greeted me by rudely asking: What do you want? No joke!!! Startled, I said: I want to place an order From that point on, until she hung up on me (literally!) she was the most unhelpful, scruff, rude and dismissive customer service rep Ive ever interacted with from a restaurant. Note to this restaurant: If you value your business at all, get someone else on the phone. This woman is loosing you business with every phone call you get. Note to customers: go someplace else! If the service is this bad, imagine the quality of the environment where this food is cooked. To anyone reading this: We only get one chance at making the right first impression!

Fantastic Indian buffet, friendly staff and nice atmosphere; I come here all the time because the price is right and the food is absolutely phenomenal. The yogurt kadhi pakoras and the butter chicken is a must try. The goat is also fantastic, and tender. Can t say enough about how delicious the food is, and I will certainly be returning time and time again, and recommend to my friends to come here. Don t listen to any of the negative reviews, come here and see for yourself; the best Indian food around, without a doubt. Vegetarian options: The Kadhi pakoras are amazing Parking: Huge variety of parking

Not sure why there are so many negative reviews but our experience was fantastic! We went on Friday evening and was immediately greeted by the woman. She was more on the quiet side but we prefer that anyways opposed to waiters constantly coming up to your table. She was courteous and polite! We chose our own seats and she promptly brought us our drinks. We then proceeded to to the buffet!! Food was hot, fresh and tasted amazing!!! The Samosas are sooooo good. I really enjoyed their paneer dish - its my new favorite. The saag was so delicious (usually most places dont serve saag at the buffet) and I loved their rice which had Cumin and saffron. The butter chicken and tandoori chicken was so juicy. The rest of the curries were also fantastic. I loved their dessert selection too! It is our favorite Indian restaurant now. Its also very reasonably priced!! We highly recommend this restaurant. Parking: Lots of spots available in the plaza

I would give no stars. Customer service is very horrible. That lady needs to improve Customer service skills or the owner needs to hire someone else in order to run the restaurant. I hope the owner understands because she is very pushy. I would actually give no stars rather than 1 star. I wont be visiting again in future but the only thing thats good is kari pakora. Thank you very much. From me its no stars for customer service skills.

I had the lunch buffet yesterday, and it was really awesome!! The meat was of really great quality, and I enjoyed the gravies and the bread. The dessert was great, but I am not a sweet toothed guy and didnt try a lot. But, I really enjoyed the gulab jamun. Next time, Ill try that white colored kheer and possibly every other sweet! Their policy of charging a fine of 10 dollars for wasting food, showed their respect for food (which wasnt a problem for me, because everything was delicious!!). I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Be careful, the all-you-can-eat here is not really all-you-can-eat. The owner was unhappy and blamed me for eating too much goat curry. He told me if I come next time, I will be charged an extra 20$. Lol..... If someone is vegetarian or eat less than an average person, will the owner refund him/her some money? If no, then why should someone pay more for all-you-can-eat buffet just because him/her eats more? This is a false advertisement, they should change it to all-you-can-eat-a-little-bite. I understand that they worry about the cost, but they can increase their price or publish more limitations after. They dont need to show a rude attitude and have this embarrassing conversation to make customers feel bad. If its all-you-can-eat, the price should be set equally for everyone without discrimination. Someone may eat more than average person, but the majority still eat less than their profitable limit, they can make money anyway.

He was very rude and asked me to bring bank statement.... I showed him my bank statement on my next visit... Then he said i will talk to my accountant and kept my bank statement paper with him.....and its almost a year no call from him.... I never followed up because i wad disgusted by his attitude... I was trying to be nice, i even said it must an error.... Humans can make error.... But no... His attitude was disgusting..... So disgusted.... I never looked back at that restaurant,.... Always tell my friends if you wanna go there beware how they charge you... Because owners attitude is disgusting......

Omg they serving stale food I tried dinner there which I am thinking wastage of money. I think the positive reviews are hired by them . Even I tried to tell the lady about yoghurt taste which was very citric and when I told she said are restaurant is here from 2018 . My motive only to tell the truth save your money & Health . Moreover there were some foreigners eating I am thinking what they gonna think about our Food. Please owner should look and try to eat . Stop making fool to your own people. Their reply after telling the cook was saying not a big deal. They have to appreciate their customer who was telling nicely but no their attitude was so bad .

December 22, 2023

Absolutely worst place I wanted to order food for party but first I thought try food but food was stale vegetables were citric don t recommend this restaurant. Even their behaviour with customers was they don t care if people don t like food. I don t know how these people making fool to their customers.

December 22, 2023

I would love to give them 0 star but it s not in the option. Really disappointing food. Chicken was 3-4 days old. Goat curry wasn t even cooked. I wasn t able to even bite or chew the goat. Now, about the behaviour of the staff, it was really rude. They don t know how to talk to the customers. We just had little bit food and I told them that everything was really bad but they still charged us the full price. I really recommend everyone not to come here at all. It s the worst place in KWC.

December 22, 2023

Disgusting place. This place should have been banned by the food departments. They are selling the stale food. Everything tastes so bad and sour like old. Nothing is fresh at all. Their behaviour is really disgusting. Garbage staff. Don t have manners at all to talk to the customers. I just 1-2 fritters and two bites of naan with gravy and after sometime i got the stomachache. Don t go to this place ever. Waster of money and danger to your health.

December 22, 2023

Not even worth a single star. Worst food experience ever in my entire history of Indo-Canadian food. Lets start with the food, stale meat products and still being served and promoted saying hot fresh food. The worst kitchen staff and customer service. These people have the audacity of telling us that we are fault when literally their food is having foul smell. They didn t even care how we felt as customers and didn t show concern regarding our health and argued saying that it takes 72hrs to experience the change.

A True Taste of India: Authentic and Affordable! Buffet at $16 plus tax @ $17.5 Per person. I had the delightful experience of dining at this fabulous Indian restaurant today, and let me say, it was a feast of authentic Indian flavors! The dinner buffet was a gastronomic journey, offering a variety of both non-vegetarian and vegetarian delicacies, all resonating with genuine Indian taste! The non-veg section boasted five exquisite dishes including succulent Tandoori Chicken , creamy Butter Chicken, flavorful Goat Gravy, and a couple more chicken gravies, complemented by fluffy rice and soft, warm naan . Vegetarian offerings were equally impressive, with rich Paneer, spicy Aloo Masala , hearty Chana Masala, and comforting Dal. The range of salads , and dressings were diverse and the desserts, oh the desserts! Gulab Jamun, Kheer, Custard Apple , along with Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream , were a sweet ending to a delectable meal! And the best part? All this culinary richness comes at an extremely affordable price of $16 per person! Drinks were an additional feature, with pops at $2, beer at $7 per pint , and single shots of a variety of spirits at $7 per shot . Though the bartenders, our loving Indian uncles and aunties, might need to up their mixing game, the warmth in their service and the excellence in the food and hospitality made up for it. Pros: Authentic and diverse Indian menu . Exceptional value for money . Clean, spacious, and uncrowded ambiance . Free drinking water and ample parking . Efficient and warm hospitality . Cons: Limited time for new guests; service stops at 9 pm . Bartending could be more professional . Do note, they stop allowing new guests post 8:30 pm and start wrapping up by 9 pm, closing doors by 10 pm. To all my fellow food lovers out there, if you crave a journey through the rich and diverse landscape of Indian cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit! I highly recommend it and guarantee you won t be disappointed. Enjoy the flavors, the ambiance, and the love poured into every dish! Happy Eating! Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are a delight, with dishes like rich Paneer and hearty Chana Masala bringing the essence of authentic Indian flavors, offering a harmonious blend of spices and textures that cater to every palate. The diverse range of satisfying vegetarian dishes, including spicy Aloo Masala and comforting Dal, ensures that every vegetarian diner finds something to their liking! Parking: The ample parking ensures a hassle-free experience from start to finish, and the best part it s free! The convenience of spacious parking adds to the overall ease and enjoyment of your dining experience.

Worst restaurant in the town for buffet. My visit to this buffet was a total disaster. The staff acted like they didnt care at all. The worst part was the attitude rude and indifferent. This was a buffet, but it felt like I was an inconvenience. I wouldnt recommend this place if you want a pleasant dining experience. The food was cold and tasted bland. So called fruit custard had higher portion of water than fruit or custard. Curries tasted like they were cooked ages ago and still there just cuz they weren t sold out. No pakora or samosa were there and when we asked they said we will bring it soon but that never happened. The other dishes which were empty were never filled by staff during our an hour stay . Avoid this place at all costs. This level of unprofessionalism and lack of courtesy was appalling. I wouldnt recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy.

I dont know why the reviews are so poor here. I went here today for lunch and it was $14.99 for the buffet + $1.99 for a soda. $16.99 for dinner time. The food was very tasty and they have amazing samosas. I ended paying $21.42 for everything plus a small tip. For pretty much $22 final price (tax in that price), you can get unlimited great food that is hot and fresh. Thats a great deal. Other resturants now days Im always paying $25 - $35 for everything and getting WAY less food. So for the amount food you get and it tastes really good and its a good price, I dont see why so many people are reviewing this resturant poorly. Its a great resturant for a great price.
