  I would give this place zero star if I could… The food was absolutely BLAND. No salt in anything, the daal makhani was sweet, the biryani had no flavor. Absolutely disgusting. Will not be visiting again and would not recommend this place to anyone.

  I’ve been a regular at Spice Social in downtown Fullerton for a while now, and it’s become my go-to for flavorful Indian cuisine. Located at 138 W Commonwealth Ave, the vibe is lively with a modern interior, a bar area, and space for groups—it’s great for social gatherings, whether it’s a casual meetup or a small party. The outdoor patio adds to the options, though it can get noisy inside during peak times. The staff is friendly and attentive; they always remember my order, which makes the experience feel personal. I always get the Ludhiyana Da Special Chicken (a creamy chicken korma with herb sauce)—it’s rich, comforting, and perfectly spiced without being overwhelming. Because this food item isn’t on any other Indian restaurants’ menus, I give this place 5 stars. Portions are generous, and it pairs great with garlic naan or basmati rice. Other favorites include the lamb biryani, paneer tikka masala, and innovative items like butter chicken poutine. They’ve got solid vegetarian options too, like saag paneer, and drinks such as mango lassis or spicy cocktails to round it out. Entrees run around $18-20, with extras adding up, but it’s worth it for the quality.

  This place used to be great with really friendly staff. Sadly, while the food is still good, the service isn’t. If you’re not Indian it feels like you’re not really welcome.
