Would give it 3.5 stars to be accurate. This is definitely not a dine in place, it has just two tables in a very small space with no ventilation. It becomes very hot and irritating there because of all the smell from the kitchen.

Visited here while on our trip to NYC. Food was great and the quantity was generous. We ordered chicken 65, Butter chicken and a couple of indo-Chinese dishes. To our surprise the butter chicken was served with complimentary rice and a butter naan which was great. The girl serving us was very efficient and quick with our orders. The only downside was the small dining area and the heat from the kitchen coming directly into the dining area. But the staff was kind enough to place a cooler for us. Overall had a great time with great food and 5 stars for the service.

I was skeptical from the beginning cz when i called up the restaurant i ordered 5 items nd he said it will be ready in 15 mins. So i figured i wasted my money.. still kept hope and picked up my food nd restaurant didnt disappoint me.

Visited China Spice recently the food was okay. They have 2 menu, Indian and Chinese. Tried the Chinese menu it wasn’t good. The Chinese lollipops was dry, the Chinese fried rice was regular and chicken spring roll was soggy. They are always busy and the cashier had me repeat myself 3 times before getting my order right. The Indian menu is better and next time I will stick with that.

-5 stars. The Drums of Heaven are anything but. It smells really weird and I had to throw them out. I couldn’t even complete one piece of chicken. The Mater Paneer is really oily but more edible. I recommend NOT going to this restaurant.

Shivanjali Verma
The food is delicious but not healthy at all! Normally at Indian restaurants the North Indian food remains oily and greasy, but this is just EXCESS oil in one plate of chana masala! A suggestion to the restaurant, things can still taste good with lesser usage of oil! Almost got heart burn and bad stomach after eating this, regret it!

One of the best Indian cuisine I ever had in United States. Don’t go with the price and ambiance, the taste and quality of food is top notch. I promise you won’t regret. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, plain naan and Mutton Seekh Kabab and all these were as good as it should be!!! I am really surprised with the price tag, it’s super affordable.

Never buy from here, rotten, stomach upsetting & unhealthy food. Would definitely have a lot of issues if consumed. Not fresh at all.
