Great food great service must try their indo Chinese recipes. Chicken lollipop was mind blowing. The Manchurian dishes are must try and the Triple Shezwan is a dish worth driving to.

It's been a few years, but they still got it. Just got the lunch special with Palak Paneer and a Coriander Soup. All were properly spiced, India style, too hot for most tourists. Reminded me big time of when I lived in South India. The Lunch Special comes with Rajma and Naan and Rice. Also a great not too sweet Kheer.

This place is a hidden gem! The lunch special is outrageous. I posted the menu to this review - there are so many options for everyone and it is so well priced! ALL YOU CAN EAT INDIAN FOOD for less than $20 in Manhattan?? I'm honestly shocked this isn't on every lunch deal website ever. Great laid back ambiance and very kind and attentive staff. Fast service. No complaints at all.

This is a well priced, unassuming Indian restaurant with largely anything you could want on the menu. Definitely recommend the Hakka noodles.

I had a great experience at Spice Symphony. I was able to make a reservation for 6 people on a Saturday night no problem, and the service was very good start to finish. The waiter gave us a free appetizer after arriving. Everything we tried here was very tasty - we had a vegetable biryani, samosas, a vegetarian tikka masala, palak paneer, and garlic naan. I would order all of this again. The ambiance is a step above super casual, but it's not as if you need to dress up to dine here. Great spot for a group dinner with friends.

Tasty, affordable, quality Indian food. Also has a twist with their Indian Chinese menu, super cool and underrated! They take your favorites from your local Chinese takeout and turn it up a notch with some spice! It's all in the name. This place is kid friendly, family friendly, date night ready and also the kind of place you go to impress some co-workers. The vibe inside reminds me of traditional NYC fine dining from back in the day. The staff are all dressed in black, working together seamlessly. The lights are low and the tables are actually big enough to have room and not bump your neighbors! And then- the food! Full of flavor, large menu with traditional Indian items and some new like the chicken lollipops. Great for your first time having Indian or if you make it at home, there's something for everyone (vegan and vegetarians of course too).

Having heard my co-workers rave about the Indo-chinese street food they had back in India, I became determined to try out this historical fusion cuisine that originated from centuries of cultural exchange. Thus, on Sunday noon, a friend and I both arrived at Spice Symphony. The establishment was half-full (perhaps from the rain), so we received seating immediately. My friend and I decided on the following to share (all from the Indian Chinese section of the menu). - Paneer Chili Dry | $10 - Chicken Manchurian| $18 - Chili Chicken | $18 The first to arrive, the Paneer Chili Dry appetizer, consisted of, as the menu described, "strips of cottage cheese tossed with spicy chili, onion, green pepper, and soy". This tasted quite similar to spicy stir-fried tofu, which is in hindsight unsurprising. The onion's aromatic flavors seemed much more pronounced than in Chinese stir-fry. The spiciness seemed relatively subdued, but that did not detract. Both entree items arrived about 15 minutes after the appetizer. The Chili Chicken, accompanied with "green peppers, vidalia onions, soy, and fiery red chillies", had a similar flavor profile as the Paneer Chili Dry, with 2 notable exceptions. One is the chicken (duh), which tasted tender and juicy. The second is the decent amount of heat the chilies possessed, which would require a decent heat tolerance (for the average American). The second entree, the Chicken Manchurian, arrived in a "spicy tangy onion and soy based sauce". The menu description belied additional nuance in the sauce, notably tamarind. This made for a dish that looked ostensibly like soy sauce braised chicken, a ubiquitous dish in China. This one, however, had a much brighter set of flavors, especially with the extra-aromatic onions. If I had to choose between the soy sauce braising and pan sauce I grew up with and this, the Chicken Manchurian wins by a long shot. Overall, I enjoyed the opportunity to try a relatively unknown cuisine (at least in the states). The blend of familiar flavors, reimagined, managed to meld well and live up to the title of fusion cuisine, something that modern fusion cuisine struggles to accomplish.
