    Photos make it look more upscale than it actually is. Restaurant is super small so OK for casual conversations with friends but not to meet over a business meal Staff is amicable but not attentive - food served very late. Music bit too loud to conduct a conversation - tone it down so it is in the background not the forefront. People want to talk when they are eating at a restaurant. Food and menu choices esp. pre-fixe meal was excellent. I would recommend as value for money and authentic, but not for aesthetics or ambience.

    Great food! I appreciate the servers not being overwhelming hey did a great job of not letting us over order. The team kept the water glasses full and they were diligent about clearing plates. The kitchen deserves a shout out for the amazing food. I loved the butter chicken!

    The food was average. We had to ask them to toast the breads again as they were uncooked. The spice level was uncostmisable.

    The food was really good, plenty of it and reasonably priced for New York. Compared to a UK Indian Restaurant, the Indian menu choices were fairly limited, but sufficient. Service was very good and attentive. We really enjoyed our meal and the experience.

    We had visited the week before and were sufficiently impressed with the food to return, just booking earlier in the evening this time (having encountered a prematurely closing kitchen at 10pm). A particularly nice touch was the Indo-Chinese section of the menu, which offered classic Chinese dishes but with Indian spices. The food was, again, excellent and the service impeccable. We would not hesitate to return.

    The food was excellent and the service efficient. However, having booked through opentable, we arrived at around 9.45pm for our 10am reservation, to be told that they closed at 10pm and we had until 10.15pm to eat and leave. Although they didn’t exactly kick us out and we ultimately left around 10.30pm, it did put us under pressure to eat with indecent haste. Other than the fact that they don’t seem to have bothered to tell Opentable that their opening hours had changed, the experience was a good one (or would have been earlier in the evening).

    Went to the location on Lexington Avenue. The service was up and above what I expected. Our waiter Afan was helpful in explaining different dishes and offering advice on menu options. He was kind and courteous and made our dining experience more memorable. I had the salmon Tikka and my husband had the chile chicken. We enjoyed both dishes extremely. The prices are reasonable and the place is comfortable. We will definitely return as we love Indian food.

    Spice Symphony is always fantastic. I always get the lamb chops because they are absolutely superb, the best laptops I have ever tasted. I really should branch out and order something else but they are so good that I keep ordering them every time! Service is great, waiters are wonderful.
