The Spiice Route Indian Restaurant

Delightful food and chai! The Lunch special is an absolutely great deal, 4 small pieces of naan, white rice, a salad and a full entree for $13 is something you don’t see on Pittsburgh or anywhere else to be honest. And the food and chai was amazing, as an Indian myself. Will certainly be coming back to try the dinner menu! Definitely the best Indian food I’ve had within Pittsburgh in my years here.

The place is in a good location however seems to be still under construction and not fully ready. The food was very good, however the portion size were on the lower end. Was surprised to get greens/salad on both the dishes we ordered, especially the biryani. Good place for those looking to taste some good Indian food.

A must try if you like Indian food. I came for lunch and the portion was huge, and the food was flavorful and clearly authentic (with what I think was whole cardamom seeds and a clove in my dish - this didn't bother me because I know it's normal of authentic Indian cuisine), and the service was great. Lady (one of the owners maybe?) was polite, my food came out fast (I was the only one there at 11:45 on a Wednesday). Just the right amount of spice in my food too. This place just opened 4 ish months ago (so the owner told me). They were on South Craig in Oakland under a different name. I feel lucky I had the time to lunch here before catching my ride to be airport (used to live here and came back for a visit). Highly highly recommend!

Such an amazing gem in Oakland! The owner was incredibly kind and quick bringing out everything we ordered. Highly recommend! If I had to knock down the rating it would be due to the ambiance. I got the first class chicken and my friend got the tikka masala, both of which were great. We unfortunately didn't get a photo of the samosas but they were 10/10!

I had the best experience in an Indian food restaurant, I ordered a lamb Makhni and it was delicious, the naan bread was also really good, the highest spicy level was very tolerable. The place is new but the mastery with which they prepare the dishes feel that they have been cooking for years
