As an avid enthusiast of Indian cuisine, I was eagerly anticipating my visit to Touch of Spice, but sadly, it turned out to be an utterly disheartening experience. From the ambiance to the food quality, every aspect fell short of even basic expectations.Ambiance:Upon entering, the ambiance seemed promising with dim lighting and Indian-inspired decor. However, the illusion quickly shattered as the cramped seating arrangement and lack of ventilation created an uncomfortable dining environment. The incessant chatter of kitchen staff further detracted from any semblance of tranquility.Service:The service was abysmal, characterized by sluggishness and indifference. Despite the restaurant being relatively empty, we waited an inordinate amount of time before being acknowledged by a disinterested server. Requests for water and additional condiments were met with forgetfulness and had to be reiterated multiple times.Food Quality:The crowning disappointment was the food itself. Our appetizer, the vegetable samosas, arrived lukewarm and soggy, betraying any semblance of crispiness one would expect. The main courses were equally lackluster; the chicken tikka masala was overly greasy, lacking in depth of flavor, and suspiciously resembled a hastily thrown together tomato-based sauce. The naan bread, touted as a staple of Indian cuisine, was undercooked and doughy, resembling more of a flatbread experiment gone wrong.Example of Culinary Disaster:One particularly egregious example of the subpar quality was the "paneer butter masala," a dish that epitomized everything wrong with our dining experience. What should have been a creamy, indulgent delicacy turned out to be a bland concoction of rubbery paneer cubes swimming in an overly sweet and cloying sauce. The complete absence of any discernible spices or seasoning left us questioning whether the chef had forgotten the most fundamental principles of Indian cooking.Conclusion:In conclusion, my visit to Touch of Spice was a regrettable mistake that I wouldn't wish upon any fellow food enthusiast. From the lackluster ambiance to the indifferent service and, most notably, the dismal quality of the cuisine, this establishment failed to deliver on its promise of authentic Indian flavors. With its inflated prices and dismal execution, Touch of Spice earns a resounding zero stars and a firm recommendation to steer clear of this culinary disappointment.

Please do not order via call or online on this place. We have placed several order on this place for the past few months and has always been telling us they are not placing any orders. If your restaurant is only serving catering change your restaurant to catering only! So people wont waste time contacting you this place has also cancelled out order via door dash many times. Please remove your website to door dash if you are not taking orders to take out or delivery. We have wasted time getting food from this place! Terrible!

I ordered food 3 times and the order never arrived, it's a waste of time and nerves, I called the owner of the place, he ignored me and hung up the phone, unprofessional approach to the customer

If I could rate it lower I would. As a dasher I went to pick up an order that was conformed and paid for. The guy was rude , kept saying he doesn't deal with dashers, but has a big GrubHub sign in the window. So while I'm trying to talk to the customer and customer service and he closes the restaurant up early and leaves. I would be surprised if this didn't happen when Me and my fiance order from there and it kept saying different dasher were being assigned... I do not recommend

I’m usually pretty forgiving, but this food was the worst Indian food I’ve ever had. It wasn’t flavorful and tasted like they just dumped loads of salt in it. Even the naan and onion kulcha weren’t cooked properly and were also super salty.They don’t provide rice with the dishes, so when we asked about purchasing some rice upon pickup he said no they don’t have any and are closing. This was at 8pm, so apparently their hours are incorrect as well.This was a was of money.

Ordered on grub hub and it was cheaper including delivery charge and tip. Got all the items and a dahi with my biryani. Gave them a 5 star. Ordered in person and was charged more than GrubHub, did not get anything for the pulao. The matar pulao is just frozen peas and it was not cooked properly. They do have the closest to what we can call authentic. Update your prices if you are going to charge different rates. Your menu card did not equal to what you billed me for. Very disappointed with that, food was good.

During my first and most likely last visit to this restaurant, I ordered their lamb Biryani, veg samosa and lamb samosa. The Biryani was flavorful, decent portions but the rice was too “mushy” for my liking and it was extremely greasy, like they gave me the rice from the bottom of the pot, which I don’t have a problem with, BUT the oil was literally sitting in the rice like soup. I could only eat from the top because of this. The veg samosas were rather dry and too salty, the lamb samosa was so so. I’m so annoyed because I was craving Biryani and lamb samosas for a long time and I was so excited when I saw this restaurant while driving to work. This was the most lack luster food experience I’ve ever had in my entire life. Anyways I’ll have to find somewhere else to satisfy my cravings

Absolutely fantastic every time we order. Food is always hot and fresh. It seems to get better every time. Definitely freshly made as dishes taste slightly different each time. From the naan to appetizers to entrees, I can't express how phenomenal Touch of Spice is!!

Updated 09/26/2020Food is amazing. We were there only customers dining indoors and the food was perfect. We came in with a list of what we wanted and we ate like kings. I pray they remain open for business because this is the flavor of food we crave every two weeks!!Food is wonderful!
