    I order frequently and have loved the food for some time now. Tonight, a very polite, responsible, and joyful young lady helped me at the counter. Even though I ordered in the evening, she was pure sunshine. She was obviously well prepared for the work she did.

    This is literally the best Indian food I've ever had in my entire life. I'm coming from the Atlanta Georgia area and every time I visit here for work I have to order from City of spice. This is the first restaurant I ever tried chicken 65 at and no other restaurant I've tried it at since can compare to this. The texture, the flavor, everything about it is absolutely delicious. Even the color is not your normal chicken 65 color. And the biryani is just as impressive. I always get the lamb. Packed with flavor and not just "heat" but actual spice (there's a difference).

    Stopped by while we were waiting on an oil change down the street, we are so glad that we did. The waitress/ hostess was quick to seat us and take our order, she offered suggestions for an appetizer (Gogi Manchurian) and it did not disappoint, I could eat that for a meal! I ordered the Butter Masala Chicken and my hubby had the Goat Vindaloo. Both were fantastic. The garlic Naan was also tasty. We will be back. Thank you!

    We had a good experience eating here. We ordered chaat, chana masala, chettinad chicken, and bhindi masala. The flavors were on point, and the naan were fluffy and buttery. The curries were rich, well-spiced, and tasted authentic. The only downside was the desserts (ras malai and rice kheer), which were well below average. The kheer had mashed rice that tasted odd and wasn’t pleasant.

    Please, be advised the young man at the front counter facilitating food orders, is in dire need of customer service training. Whomever is at the front counter becomes the face or representative of the company and he did a poor job of setting a pleasant atmosphere for us. He's very confrontational and does not exhibit the ability to communicate with customers with humility and understanding. Before enjoying any restaurant's food, the customer service is always the number one element of importance.
