Spice Symphony - 31st Lexington

“Came here to try and introduce my coworkers to the magic of Indo-Chinese food. I particularly wanted to share what some of my favorite food to eat growing up in Mumbai was- chili paneer and Gobi Manchurian. Good news- the food here rocks and my coworkers loved it! I ordered family style for the group and everyone got to try gobi Manchurian, chili paneer, chaat, bhel, and then I got two familiar mains in the biryani and tikka masala. Everything was great and tasty. I usually like a more red/orange colored gobi Manchurian whereas this one was definitely more dark brown- indicating less chili. It had more of a mild spice with a sweet and sour taste, but it was still delicious due to the perfect crunchy texture. The paneer was perfect and dense and bitey, and the rest of the dishes were all exactly as you’d expect (creamy tikka masala, spicy biryani, etc). Vibe wise, the space is small but has a good amount of seating. Table cloth and settings are all very nice and feel more on the fancy side. This feeling emphasized by the wine and cocktail menu. There is a big mirror on the wall inside which makes the place feel a lot bigger than it is. Overall, this is a great spot to get delicious indo-Chinese or just Indian food as well as drinks. Come with a group and order family style!”

“Great spice level on 99% of the food. Was surprised that the chicken tikka masala wasn’t spicier. Overall the food was great though. Gave us some free appetizers and free dessert. Possible the best gulab jamun I’ve ever had too! Great service. Would definitely return.”

“We came here on a Sunday evening, with reservations since it was quite busy. The service was prompt and friendly. There were lots of things on the menu to choose from, all of them halal. I tried the lamb seekh kababs which were full of flavour and seasoned really well. The chilli chicken was another tasty item. The noodles were alright but not as good as the other things. The restaurant is clean, including the bathroom. Overall it was a positive experience, and I would definitely try it again.”

“PROs- location , lunch specials are priced ok . CONs - crazy spice . Pricey mostly First timer . I have eaten in so many different restaurants in Lexington and wanted to try spice symphony. Good location as this place is in heart of Lexington . Very close to other restaurants around . They give the general menu first and I was almost about to order when I asked them - “do you have lunch special menu” and then they give you, only if you ask . They tried to upsell their regular menu. Ordered a goat thali for lunch . I asked them for spice level and they said medium or high. I was ok with medium spice level but they made it so spicy . Spice is fine with me as long as it doesn’t taste like red chili. The taste got overwritten by spice . I couldn’t taste the goat masala .. disappointing stuff .. the starter chicken dish was really good . Perfect spice on the starter . Gulab jamun was good too. Service could be bettter .. guy looked like he didn’t want to serve :). They also had a small bar .. disappointing experience. With 4.2 in Google I expected better . Wanted to give 2 stars but gave it a 3 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️”

“The place is soo shady. And I don’t even want to start with the food. We ordered Vegetarian spring rolls and it was readymade frozen food . They cut 2 rolls into 6 small pieces and the taste was garbage……. I will suggest never ever visit it. If you want to eat in that area I would suggest go to DHABA or HYDRABADI ZYAKA it has amazing food over there”
