About this business
For years, diners were handed a limited menu when it came to Indian food and restaurants. They could choose either upscale, fine-dining establishments or low-end curry shops. There was no middle ground. Also, throwing a catered party with high quality indian food and service was non existant...

Great Indian Food – I have been to this place quite a few times and every time I have enjoyed the meal and the experience in general. The wait staff is always friendly and as far as Indian food goes, it is some of the best I have had, especially in the area. I recommend the Ragada Patties, Malai Kabob and Chicken Tikka Masala. Definitely worth the price.
Good food, horrible service – My husband and I went to Cafe Spice for my birthday on a Saturday night. We found it by accident after the place we intended to go to was closed. When we sat down at the bar, we were not acknowledged by the bartender who was sending and receiving text messages for about 4 minutes before looking in our direction. We almost left but decided to try somem food since we showed up during their second happy hour of the night (9:30-10:30) and had 1/2 priced martinis and appetizers. Their lamb was excell... read more
Not good indian food . How can people say this is good? – I didn't see one indian eating there. The food was expensive and there was loud nyc techno/house music playing all night. The place is trying to be a posh old city place. My dish the lamb for 18 bucks was worse then eating at 5 dollar buffet. For a place named spice , it lacked the flavor of normal spices from india. Only noobs wouldn't be able to tell the difference,
Worst service in Philadelphia – A group of friends (8 people total) and I were anxious to try Cafe Spice for restaurant week 9/19/08. We were more than disappointed with our experience. First, when we got there, they had lost our reservation (which had been confirmed via email) and we had to wait for at least 30 minutes for a table. From there, it just went downhill. We waited endlessly for a waiter, and when we finally did place our order, half of the group would get a course, and it would be at least 15 minutes before the ... read more
Succeeds at cool, tumbles on traditional Indian fair, fails at value – At first, the atmosphere really draws you in. After sneaking a peak at a few plates, you can't help get excited to eat here. Then your food comes. I got the vegetable samosas and while they came out warm, regardless if they were not piping hot, they still were a bit disappointing. This is coming from someone who had real samosas in India. The filling was nicely whipped, but in terms of kick and flavor it failed. At the price you pay, you should expect som... read more
Just became the best Indian in philly – Due to recent management change Cafe Spice i believe is the best indian joint in the city. Food is much better and better presented. The menu has changed quite a bit and is less expensive. Great and timely service. Came here for dinner last week and then stayed for the after hours clubbing. This place got a lot of bad reviews because of previous management and one of those reviews are mine but this is my favorite restaurant in the city for the food and the entertainment combined.
Pretty Much the Worst Indian Food in the Area – Please don't go here. The food is expensive and all tastes the same. You could order lamb or chicken - it doesn't even matter what kind of lamb or chicken - and it will just taste like some mediocre ethnic dish (surely not Indian though). The only people I can see liking this place are people who have never had Indian food before and think this is what it's supposed to taste like. And besides all of that - it's expensive to boot. What the? The servers were nice enough, but that... read more
Dog Food taste better than what this restaurant serves. – The food is just mediocre. The Pita bread and beans are simply plain - you couldn't tell the difference if you ate these beans straight out of a can. But when they add $$$$ to the bill, its an insult. My experience at this restaurant will never be repeated - I will never go back and have persuaded many of my family, friends and co-workers to not go.
Spiced to Perfection – My family and I (with a few friends) celebrated my daughters 23rd birthday at Cafe Spice on Saturday night. Seating for a table of six and service was very prompt. This was our first time eating Indian cuisine, so we weren't sure if we would like it.. We are now big fans. The food was fantastic. Each person ordered something different and because everyone raved about their individual entrees so much, we ended up sharing all of them. Every dish was spiced to perfection. They even brought out a mousse fo... read more
