I hate to give this restaurant less than five stars. Their food tastes excellent and it’s quite reasonably priced as Indian food goes here in town.
However, I’ve gotten take out twice now and both times I asked for mild spice, but got medium hot instead, and the first time the biryani was seriously hot. I don’t mind hot Indian food, but my spouse can’t eat it that hot and it ruined her food for her. I thought it was a mistake the first time, but now that it’s happened the second time, I don’t think I’ll be back.
It’s a shame because I was really happy we got an Indian restaurant in that area. Why only cater to people who prefer super spicy Indian food and not respect that some don’t find it enjoyable?

The food is so fresh and delicious! The dining area is clean. We enjoyed looking around the grocery store while our food was prepared. We LOVED the fresh butter garlic naan, palak paneer, and chicken tikka masala. This was the first time our toddler ate Indian food and she also loved every bite. We will definitely be back!

Ordered the paneer tikka masala. So delicious and fresh! Definitely a hidden gem.

If you enjoy Indian food- this is the best by far in all of Madison and Huntsville area. Not really a place that you would go sit at as in a restaurant style but definitely for take out. I do recommend they redo that area for people to sit down though, maybe some more seating. I’ve lived in probably 10 states- this has been by far a top competitor for the best Indian food I’ve had- I’d recommend checking it out.

Got chat, biriyani (goat & chicken), lassi, chai. All very good. One biryani could be shared if not too hungry. Good level of spice. This is inside the store, with limited seating. Service is pretty slow and all to be picked up at counter. Might be better as take out. The seating area is not much to talk about, but the food is good.

I have been looking for Indian food that tasted the same way it did when I was first introduced to it in college and I finally found it. Their butter chicken took my tastebuds back about 14 years and I couldn’t be happier. I will definitely be back.
For anyone else curious, I’m not sure what their hours are, but I’m assuming they’re similar to the grocery store and they do have a facebook page. If you want to call ahead to place an order, the number is the same as what is listed for the India Spices grocery store. I did not know that I could call ahead and ended up placing my order in person, but even so, I don’t think I waited more than 15 minutes.

They recently opened the Chai Samosa restaurant inside the grocery store so I tried some boondas (a South Indian appetizer) and they were a little undercooked. The chutney was also a little runny. I saw some people eating dosa (South Indian breakfast item), which is similar to a crepe but savory so I’ll need to be back to try this! They also seem to have some desserts and drinks.

This place is inside the Indian Spice grocery store. While they have some tables, it feels more like a takeout focused place. I got a bone-in chicken biryani. They offer spice levels and I chose medium. Which honestly, was a bit hot for me. It was very good and a generous serving.

Didn’t know this place was right around the corner and I’m SO happy it is!
Masala Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa, and Sambar = top notch. The Masala Chai is as close as I’ve had to the chai’s from the chaiwala’s in India. My son really enjoyed the butter chicken. Spice levels were accurate and exactly what they should be. Don’t expect a fancy dining experience… It’s not intended to be. It’s a space to eat in the grocery store and that’s what adds to the experience for me. The customer service was also friendly, which is always appreciated. Finally, BIG plus for actually playing Indian music in the store! Can’t wait until next time!

Food is absolutely delicious but the butter chicken is soooo spicy! They did not tell you it’s spicy, and I can hardly eat it. The butter chicken is 17$ and it doesn’t even come with rice! I’m shocked. That’s very expensive. Spent 38$ on butter chicken, two samosas and two pieces of naan. Soooo expensive.
