LOVED our food, it was tasty in a refined way that belies the setting & price. Under-the-radar gem IMO. Will be going back for sure to try the rest of the menu. For flavor it was among the best in town. #impressed
Ordered chicken biryani recently, the portion was really big enough so that was great, & the rice cooking & spicing was authentic & very tasty, however, it does not come mild even if you order it as very very mild ??& most important, the chicken meat quality was not the same anymore (very much rubbery) & hence the low rating, it was very chewy & had strange texture & had to trash it. I would prefer less meat if needed than that quality.

Excellent, fresh, tender, & perfectly cooked pieces of meat. Very pleased. Mamjot served us & had a beautiful & very tasty #37 Tandoori Mixed (for 2 people) which was cooked in the tandoori. In addition, we ordered an order of garlic & onion Naan bread & a Mango Lassi to drink.
Spicy Grille is a MUST if you are looking to dine on very tasty & authentic Indian foods. Our server brought us Papadum (Thin Crispy Bread) with Mango & Chutney sauces to dip into & nibble on while our orders were being prepared. The appetizers we started with consisted of one (1) serving of Fish Pakora (Fish dipped in gram flour & fried with herbs) & one (1) serving of Vegetable Pakora (Veggies dipped in gram flour & fried with herbs). For our main courses; which we all shared; we had two (2) servings of Garlic Naan Breads (6 pieces total) plus one (1) order each of Butter Chicken, Boneless Lamb & Eggplant - all prepared Medium Spicy which is hot enough for us. We brought a 6-pack of beer to add to the meal as it is a BYOB & beer is more appropriate for a meal like this than Wine. The food we ordered was the perfect amount for the three (3) of us who were dining & every dish was thoroughly enjoyed. Our server even left us a pitcher of water at the table.
Overall good experience not very great.. Butter chicken was mediocre, naan was freshly baked & tasted great, manchurian was crispy & tasty. Have to try their other dishes! Service was good..
We have eaten at Spicy Grill several times. The food is always soooo tasty & fresh. Very reasonable for the generous portions. The service (see our waitress in the pic) is sweet & down to earth. We love the festive weekend dinners where families often celebrate birthdays together ❤️
I was told they have amazing food. We ordered chicken pakora, spring rolls & malai soya chap. Chicken pakora & spring rolls were really not tasty. Only malai soya chap was good. Very disappointed with the service , had to wait long for someone to come & take our order. When nobody came for long, we decided to leave. So service was really terrible.
Been here 4 times. Once as a group of about 12 in the evening, twice for the weekday lunch buffet, & once as a couple in the evening.
Clean, reasonably priced, excellent tasty food. Going back again tomorrow as part of the same group of 12. Lunch buffet is likely the best value around.
