I'm from Miami, Florida, but frequent NYC about two or three times a year. Every time I go I always make time to go to Spice Cove--a literal hole-in-the-wall in terms of space, authentic Indian restaurant. I've only gone for their lunch special--$5.99 or $6.99 for the BEST lunch you can buy! I don't think of myself as a creature of habit, but I am when it comes to ordering here. My M.O. menu selection:
Banana Pakora and Tandoori chicken. It comes with DELICIOUS lentil soup and naan (Indian bread). (I like to pair it with a good Indian beer)
I love New York for its eclectic everything...people, places, food. Spice Cove is certainly a gem in the city. It's situated amidst lookalikes on Indian Row, but believe me, it out does all of them!
Enjoy!
There are better placed than Spice Cove on Curry Row...
Really nice decor and a great place to introduce Indian Food to someone who hasn't tried it as it seems to be greatly Americanized. I like my places a little dirty and more authentic...
The waitress was also VERY demanding, pushy and rude... We had dinner at 5:30 and the place was completely empty, there was absolutely no need to be so aggressive.. I'm usually extremely nice to my servers as my boyfriend is in the industry and I know how frustrating it can be to deal with the public, but I actually snapped at this woman! I guess she had the last laugh as she dropped a dirty knife down my dress...
We ordered 2 appetizers, lassis, 4 entrees and 2 orders of bread. Usually you get a free dessert at most places, but not here... not even with the knife incident..
it'll take my chances developing epilepsy at the blinking chili pepper lights places...
I visited Spice Cove because I had a $25 off a $35 purchase coupon from restaurant. Well, I am so glad that I ended up at Spice Cove because their food was delicious.
Immediately upon entering I was totally diggin their fresh and cool vibe and atmosphere. The waiters/tresses were super attentive and ready to take drink orders, bring water/bread/sauces, and take our order. After mulling over the menu I opted for the $9.95 Prix fixe, with the vegetable somosa as an appetizer and the Chicken Tikka Masala as an entree. We also ordered a Mushroom appetizer (in hope to reach our $35 minimum).
Well the prix fixe dinner starts off with a soup....a tomato type soup which was delicious. I had never tried that type of soup before, so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I really enjoyed it.
Next came the Veggie Somosa. Now, I am a somosa snob and I have to say that these were excellent! The crust was thin, perfectly crispy, and seasoned perfectly. The inside veggies were hot and spicy, and complimented the crust and additional green sauce (I added on top) beautifully.
After the Somosa's they brought out the Mushroom appetizer which was also really good. It was in a thick brown sauce, and the mushrooms were very flavorful.
Next they places out main courses in front of us......
. I had a heaping plate of Chicken Tikka Masala, and a BIG bowl of rice. I combined the 2 and dug in. Unfortunatley I had to stop after 3 bites because my pants were bursting from the seems.....sooooooo fuuuuulllll!!!!!
We also had ordered an order of garlic naan, because although the dinner came with bread, it was just pita bread. Well after seeing all this food....a GIANT NAAN, and the pita bread, I THINK the Pita Bread would have been satisfactory.
Both my bf and I ended up taking the majority of our entree's home, and it will definitely be enough for 2 more meals. After dinner they offered dessert and I opted for the Pistachio ice cream. Nothing special, it was okay. My bf got the Indian tea and that was pretty tasty!
With everything (including 2 SUPER delicious coconut Lasses) the total was just under $40!!!! Such an awesome deal. With the coupon, and the tip/tax the total for us was about $22, which is a huge steal. We have food for 2 more days and have big full bellies. I will definitely be back for the dinner deal...it can't be beat!
You can't go wrong with Spice Cove. The prices are great and the food is on par with the surrounding Indian restaurants.
The atmosphere is nice, but a little small. If you order a dinner plate be prepared for the tray to take up your whole table.
The somosas are a good flavor and not oily. The mulagatani soup was my favorite dish of the night. The entrees are the usual suspects of indian restaurants. No real surprises. I had the Spice Cove dinner plate and could not come close to finishing it. Lots of good comfort food (IMO). The garlic naan is great as always. Everything is cooked well and the service is very attentive.
I got take out once and delivery once. Perhaps I need to go for the dine in experience, but I think this place is just ok.
They do have a $9 3 course meal, but it doesn't include certain things like raita, that I need when eating injun.
The lamb vindaloo is purty spicy, the chicken curry is kinda standard. For a bit more money Brick Lane, right on the same block, is much better. Also Banjara is probably about the same money and better. Maybe I'm missing something since I haven't dine in, but I doubt it. There are just so many Indian spots that I like to keep trying new places and spread the love.
Great Service. Food was spectacular spectacular! Its BOYB, which helps cut the cost down on your meal. The atmosphere is really intimate with dim lighting and the wait staff is super friendly. Can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes!
Met a friend here for some $25 off of $35 action. We show up and she's all like: I don't know if we'll be able to order that much food, PLEASE, $25 is like a snack. So we bust into her giant-ass bottle of wine (this place is also BYOB) and start firing off orders: tandoori chicken, chicken tiki marsala, lamb something, garlic naan, cheese stuffed naan cheese something else, at that point we entered our drunken stupor. It was a dream, the garlic naan was incredible, the chicken tiki was amazing and the cheese bread was like a quesadilla (WHOA, SO GOOD) that tasted incredible when combined with the chicken sauce. Totally worth it.
There were maybe 2 in 15 items we ordered that were good, everything else was sub par. But what really got me was that the naan tasted and smelled like Bisquick. How can you eat a good Indian meal without good bread?! I've found many places lie about having a tandoori oven, which is key for many authentic Indian dishes.
The decor at Spice Cove is beautiful and festive and unlike many restaurants on the street it doesn't overwhelm you with chili pepper lights, but yet again I have yet to find anything really authentic and tasty in Curry Row.
Now, I really REALLY am a fan of Indian Food.
My big sister pointed out that Alphabet City was the best spot for Indian Cuisine, frankly I didn't believe her for a moment!
As we continued our stroll on 6th I let out a bit of a "WHOA!" when I saw countless Indian restaurants lining just one block.
It was a Saturday night and there were a few men standing outside of their prospective establishments trying to encourage the pedestrians to check out the menu.
About half way down the block a squint and try and read the name of one of the restaurants "Spice Cave? Spice Chest? Spice Coc-"
"SPICE COVE! Come in and try" shouted another man standing outside "Best Indian Food"
I couldn't help at blush and follow my sister and her boyfriend inside
We all ended up ordering the Fix-Prixe (the waiters are pretty strict about not allowing substitutions, even if you're willing to pay extra for the change from like Vegetable Vindaloo, to Shrimp Vindaloo, believe me all three of us tried).
I had a combination with the soup (some tasty chick pea concoction that tasted just right). I was also going to cave and order a Vegetable Samosa (like my two compadres, but took a last minute turn for the Banana Pakora at the waiters suggestion. It was this bright orange-y yellow dough that was fried with a raw banana inside, it was pretty sweet, maybe a better dessert if they'd allow it.
I had the Vegetable Vindaloo, medium spice-y-ness, while my big sister ordered the same thing as its usually prepared. Her boyfriend got the Lamb Vindaloo; I didn't taste it but he commented that the Lamb was nice and tender. He also joked that he would one day get a lamb on a farm and name it "Vindaloo." I then chimed in with saying "Then I could call him Vinny!"
I digress we also got Garlic Naan, and an extra bowl of rice to help us with out spicey plates (my sisters ended up not even enjoying hers because it was too hot!)
Lastly I got some Mango juice (only $2) which was pretty sweet, and probably came from a box, but it was still refreshing to have on a hot night with an even more hot dinner
Friends and my fiance are familiar to this Village haunt, where exotic spices and the waterfall soundtrack from the bathroom entice and enchant you.
Haha. That was cheesy.
No doubt, I have had better Indian Food in NYC, London, Boston and even Beijing, but I have to say that there is something about a New York restaruant that offers such ambiance coupled with an under $12 three-course menu and BYOW w/no corkage fee. THIS place is a deal, its cozy, people are interesting, waiters are friendly, and the food is good.
Bring some wine, meet a friend, drink and eat till your heart is merry, enjoy the intimacy of the lighting and the limited space in the restaurnat, and leave with a combined bill of under $30.
The best Indian food in the Village. There are only 12 tables so be prepared to wait. The sign up for a table is actually posted on the door way.
The food is simply marvelous. The prices are great. The food is not classical Indian, rather it has been modernized. Everything I have tried here was delicious. I will go back here for sure.
Delicious samosas and recession friendly prix-fix!
This is my "go to" Indian place in the Village. I love, love, love the decor and cozy space. It's tiny (as you'd expect in the east village) but the decorations and exposed brick give it a cozy feeling as if you were visiting someone's apartment for a nice friendly meal.
The food is fantastic. Try the spicy shrimp or Saag Panir (my absolute favorite). I always get the garlic nan, it's super tasty! Of all their meats, I think they do chicken the best, but the couple times I had their lamb I wished I wasn't already stuffed from their delish chicken tikka masala!
Great prices, excellent service and a cozy interior equal a place I'll always recommend to friends and fellow Yelpers!
I'm not an Idian food regular, so my displeasure might be seen as unwarranted. However, of the eight people we dined with, not one finished their meal. I saw many using the crafty art of pushing food around on their plate as to make it seem that they'd eaten more than they had.
It's a small attractive space with average service, but that's where the pluses end. The prix fixe menu of 3-4 courses draws you in, but is not a good deal since the food is so meh.
I've heard Sonargoaw next door is much better, but wish we had opted for Dhaba instead. Sigh.
I order delivery from spice cove at least one night every other week. Food always comes hot and fresh.
I don't like eating there because it is a very small space and never enough room on the tables.
So stop 2 on my quest to find the best curry in this lonely city... not bad at all.
At the recommendation of my housemate I had the pre-set mixed meal for $9.95.. what a steal! Soup, apetizer (a taster, more like), a small main dish, rice, naan, and icecream for dessert.
Quite the deal in terms of quantity... and taste-wise none to bad too!
The staff were very friendly and accomodating... there is no corkage fee on weekdays, which is pretty sweet
Ambiance was good.. low lighting.. lots of Indian trinkets lining the walls to make for a kitchy atmos... i approve.
You guys are haters.
I've been going to Spice Cove forever, and the food has been consistently good. Like a burrito at Chipotle or chili at Wendy's, I know what I'm going to get when I ask for my vegetable vindaloo, extra spicy: a delicious mix of veggies, with ample rice and just the right amount of heat.
What if I'm feeling extra hungry? NBD, I just ask for the dinner special. For $9.95, they throw in soup, an appetizer (go for the vegetable samosa), na'an and ice cream (strawberry! pistachio! mango!).
Yeah, Ghandi is across the street, and the food miiiight be better (jury's still out as far as I'm concerned, though Reba G. begs to differ!), but Spice Cove's decor and service win, hands down. Maybe it's because I've been going there for three years (good lord, I've been here for three years already?!) but the staff always brings out extra red onion sauce for my samosas (sometimes even before I ask!) and once, even let me charge my meal, despite the fact that it was under the $20 price limit.
So, not my favorite Indian place EVER (Ambar India in Cincinnati, that's still you!), but on 6th St., it's a good bet.
This is my favorite spot in the neighborhood for Indian cuisine. The space is tight, but cozy. The service has always been very good and very nice. The price fixe is delicious and good portions. The space and friendly service make this spot a standout from the many other restaurants on the block!
If you walk down this block, you'll see the options for Indian food can be overwhelming. As visitors, we picked this place almost at random. They all have similar menu choices and prices, and most will have someone come out and tell you why you should come into their place (at least on a Friday night).
The inside is dim and small, cluttered but not in a bad way, decorated with all sorts of antique-looking far eastern knick knacks and such, so middle-aged hippie moms will be psyched, and assume they are getting an authentic experience.
All the food is sweeter than the average Indian food, which I assume is an interpretation that this place uses to set themselves apart from the all the others nearby.
It was all good, though, no complaints. If you order a combo meal, be aware it is probably enough for 2 people, so don't over order like we did. The only reason I wouldn't go back is the fact there are so many other places nearby (one with bearded sitar players in the window) to try.
I want to go back to Spice Cove just to compare a regularly priced entree to the fixed priced menu. For $9.95 you get their tomato soup, an appetizer, an entree, rice, naan, and dessert. That's a whole lot of food for around 10 bucks, which leads me to believe that those full-priced entrees are massively portioned.
The food is decent, but nothing spectacular and on par, if not a little better, than the other restaurants on the block. The chicken pakora appetizer was tasty, though more batter than chicken (same with the banana pakora). The vindaloo had a good kick to it that showed up after a few mouthfuls. Rice was rather standard but the naan was actually sub-par. Though it was fluffy and buttery, it was more like a heated, over doughy pita-pocket than the way naan is usually prepared. Sadness as I love naan. If you've got room, get a scoop of strawberry or pistachio (trendy flavor of the moment?).
The restaurant, again like others on the block, is on the small side. Small two-top tables jammed together, but it managed to fit the group of 7 I was with so kudos to them. Lights are dim and each table has a little votive candle which cancels out some of the cramped feeling.
Of all the Indian restaurants on this street, this one wins big for decor inside. However, the service was either really great or fairly terrible (even though it wasn't too busy). My tikka masala was nothing to write home about. I did like the soup that comes with the prix fixe - a tomato base? - and the veggie samosa was good. For dessert, we were given an option of strawberry or pistachio ice cream, and the pistachio was divine! So, I liked this place, but I wouldn't feel too guilty trying a different place next time.
The food was decent, and well size portions. I had the $9.99 dinner special, the beef was tasty at first but it just seem tasteless later on. Wonderful drinks served here but I would want them to improve on their dishes instead.
Overall = Average Restaurant
I'm a fan of this place. The food tastes similar to most of the places on this block and is nothing extraordinary. It's a good date spot, and a place to go if you want Indian with some scenery.
I prefer the Tikka Masala and other curry dishes over the Tandoori. I've found the Tandoori dry on two separate occasions. The Mulligatawny is the best I've had on 6th St. I do have to say that it is very odd that pita, rather than naan, is served with entrees. One needs to pay extra to be blessed with naan.
The atmosphere kicks the restaurant up a notch, and it's usually this that makes Spice Cove my first choice for Indian on curry row.
meh.
is exactly how i felt when my meal from spice cove arrived.
i got the chicken kabab with the meat samosa lunch special. it came with dahl, tomato soup, and "naan".
the chicken was ok. nothing special. and not necessarily moist. the samosa was almost more dough than filling. and the 'naan' was the most non-naan i have ever encountered.. more like a pita.
overall, i was full. (lots of food) but certainly not satisfied. there are soo many more options in the neighborhood... i see little to no reason to give spice cove another try.
Anybody who lives in the LES knows that on Sixth Street between 1st Ave and 2nd Ave lies a bastion of Indian Cuisine that would make Vishnu and all her six arms proud.
Amongst the litany of Indian restaurants on Sixth, there are really upscale, better take a trip to the ATM-type places and there are joints that I wouldn't allow my dog to eat at (ie, Sonar Garden). Within this spectrum, Spice Cove is in the middle-upper echelon. The thing that makes this place a hell of a find is that their prices are at the lowest on this block BUT their grub is pretty freaking good.
I mean listen, if you work for the Food Network or are some type of food snob then you have no business here, but if you are a regular New Yorker that likes to dabble in cultural food without having to fork over half your paycheck then this place is the sh*t.
I live in the East Village, and I am the Czar of The Lunch Special (just made that title up) and I have yet to locate a Lunch Special with as much Bang for your Buck as this one.
LUNCH SPECIAL $5.95!!!
Papdum
Naan (One Piece)
Soup (Tomato Lentil)
Appetizer (Meat or Veg Samosa, Chicken or Banana Pakora)
Chicken/Veg and Basmati Rice (Curry, Tikka Masala, Vindaloo, etc)
So, listen all you Quasi-cultural New Yorkers or Indian Lovers with smaller pocket books that don't want to risk catching Hepatitis B (like you would at Sonar Garden), Spice Cove is the best Indian Food option in the city.
DO NOT GO HERE.
My friend and I were searching for Indian food, and were deceived by the cozy atmosphere and reasonable prices. The samosas had certainly come from the freezer, and the vegetable curry and chicken tikka masala were made from the exact same sauce.
The exact same sauce.
I know, it was horrible. I've had much better Indian food in Kansas.
Average food, but well priced with good size portions. Only a bit more oily than a heat-and-serve from Trader Joes or anywhere boasting a buffet. I had the Okra Sag to-go and while underwhelmed by the seasoning, still plan to eat the second half as leftovers tomorrow.
Tandoori was (quite possibly) Boboli pizza crust masquerading as flatbread.
Intimate and almost sexy decor. Friendly service. The whole sexy-cave theme actually works -- though during the daylight hours well...maybe notsomuch.
I ordered here a while ago when I was craving indian food. I was really only interested in getting Chicken Tikka Masala, but found it was cheaper if I went for the prix fix menu.
I sprang for the Spice Cove Dinner, which consisted of..
tomato lentil soup
a potato/pea soup
vegetable samosa
rice
naan
mango chutney
raita
chicken tikka masala
shrimp curry
saag paneer
All for $17.00
It was a lot of food, and i didn't finish it all. But as far as indian food goes, it wasn't bad.
The chicken tikka was nice. The chicken was tender, though the sauce was runnier than I like it.
The shrimps in the shrimp curry were cooked nice, but, again, watery.
Saag paneer was a little cold.
The best part of the meal in my opinion were the soups.
The naan bread and the crispbread (who's name I forget) were ok at best. The naan was soggy and undercooked.
The samosa, again, not bad. But not great.
This is my first experience with indian food in NYC, so even though I have nothing to compare it to, I know there's better out there.
bad indian food, worst naan, but cute place.
We were greeted with a beckoning waiter outside as is usual on 6th street. He told us that even he liked the food here. so we walk in. This place is tiny and cute with candles, picture frames and framed mirrors covering the walls.
Started off with complimentary crispy papadum. not bad. but wait, the three little sauces that you always get at indian restaurants, don't taste quite right. the tamarind chutney was overly sweet, the mint chutney pretty bland, and the raw onions i usually can't handle? not really raw or spicy at all! hmmm...
The vegetable samosas had really thick skins, and the inside was mostly potatoes that were barely seasoned. The shrimp curry was arranged on a plate, the shrimp sitting on a small spread of tomato curry, and not spicy at all (I asked for medium spicy). The mutter paneer (green peas and cheese) was very sweet and creamy, ok for a sweet tooth like me.
The worst thing that we got though, was the naan! We got a plain butter naan and garlic naan, both of which were the thickest naans I have ever eaten! They were atleast an inch thick, dry, and had almost the texture of regular porous bread inside, no doughy goodness! When they cooled they became like chewy sandwich bread, quite unappetizing when I was expecting some naan with my bland curry.
Overall, the blandness and weird breadlike naan might be a good introduction to timid first time indian food eaters? Not sure who else would like it...
This 4 star review is based on Curry Row alternatives. It's really just a better option than almost anything else. On a row where I've been food poisoned and eaten grease masquerading as veggies, Spice Cove was a delightful departure. First, it was full at 7pm, and then furthermore, there was no one harking at the door. The inside is tiny, but the decor is nice and cave like, almost like a chic lounge. The wine menu is impressive for an Indian restaurant.
The 9.95 prix fixe is a great deal and a lot of food. The soup is tasty, the samosa was fresh and large, and the group shared chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, lamb korma, and veggie curry. Great portions, tasty food. The staff was very friendly and we felt no pressure to leave despite the fact that the restaurant was filling up and again, super tiny.
I will definitely return.
Dinner at Spice Cove was a bizarre experience. I asked for a garlic naan, and I got a REALLY thick, sweet pita bread with a little bit of garlic sprinkled on it. Also, all the curries pretty much looked and tasted the same and the chicken was dry . The vegetarian curry only had zucchini, broccoli and celery. While I like these three vegetables, they are scarcely found in India and never used in authentic North Indian food (which is what Spice Cove is supposed to serve). On the slight upside, the samosa was decent (not oily), the rice was cooked well and the service was pleasant. Overall, however, not a good experience. Thumbs down.
$5.95 lunch special...HOLLA!!
(papadum, soup, appetizer, entree, basmati rice, naan)
When I moved to the neighborhood, I was pretty excited that there was a block of Indian restaurants nearby. Spice Cove was the first one I visited, due to an enthusiastic review by Time Out.
I started out with cheese naan. When it arrived at my table, I looked down and saw naan with heaps of melted AMERICAN CHEESE on top of it. American cheese?!?! American cheese is nice on hamburgers and grilled cheese, but whoever thought of pairing it with naan is insane. Not to mention the quantity - I think they must have used 15 Kraft singles on it. I had been expecting paneer or even mozzarella (I don't care much if it's authentic if it at least tastes good!).
But, moving on. The curry that I got was bland and the meat was dry and tough. It was also the first time I ever encountered gulab jamen that I didn't like (it was flavorless and had a weird consistency), and given my love for gulab jamen, that says a lot.
Service was friendly enough, but really slow.
Skip it and try Agnon or Brick Lane Curry House if you're looking for decent Indian on Curry Row. I've yet to find a place I'm in love with on 6th St., but those two are leaps and bounds better than Spice Cove in regards to food and service.
Bleh----I am still in search for the best Indian Food!
The drink was good though...but the food is YUCKY!
There's not much I can say except I will never come back here again!
There are so many indian restaurants to choose from on this strip, so you might not notice Spice Cove with all the hosts from other places trying to catch your attention on the street. However, keep an eye out for this one! It's small, has a nice chill atmosphere and the food is superb.
The lighting is soft with candles throughout the room. The walls have some interesting things to look at including a mish-mosh of old pictures in different types of frames and various Indian dieties. The brick wall and warm colors in the room make for a welcoming atmosphere, helped by the staff, which is attentive and friendly. It's comfortable, perfect for a date or friends (though I wouldn't recommend it if you're a party larger than 4 or 5).
As for the food, the Naan is fresh and fluffy, the thin chips they serve with various sauces right when you sit down are delicious and the main courses were enjoyed by everyone. They even had a prix fixed meal on a Saturday night for $10 that included soup, an appetizer, a main course, naan and dessert. Hard to beat!
Indian food is not one of my first choices usually, just because I'm not a big fan of curry. Spice Cove might have been my first step towards conversion though. We started with a crunchy, peppery flatbread with a trio of sauces. My favorite was the spicy marinated onion sauce, but the sweet cilantro one was nice as well. I ordered the Tandoori platter, which was a feast for just $16.95. First I was given a bowl of tomato-lentil soup. It had just the right amount of spice, and I could taste the garlic and cilantro coming through. Delicious. Then came my vegetable samosa, which was hearty and full of potatoes. I dipped it in my remaining soup, which made it even better. My friend had gotten the chick pea fritters with his meal, and they were too spicy for him, so I helped him out with those too. Again, delicious. Then my tandoori platter came out. It was more of a school lunch tray filled with food than a platter, with little compartments for each component:
From left to right: a lentil dipping sauce, white rice with peas, chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, lamb kebabs, and cucumber raiita. Everything on my tray was flavorful, the meats were moist, and the cucumber sauce provided a nice sweet compliment. The lentil sauce was a little goopy and bland and I could have done without it. Dessert (also included in the $16.95) was a scoop of intensely flavored pistachio ice cream. I took most of my tray to go....it was enough food for 3 or 4 people, easily.
Spice Cove is BYOB too, so you can really save on alcohol. We picked up a bottle of Cabernet for $10 at the store down the street. I will definitely be back!
This is a dark, tiny place but it's my favorite - and there are plenty of competitors nearby. The prix fixe meals are a great bang for your buck. Don't miss out on the coconut samosa (yum yum) and the banana pakora appetizers. We always order some for now and some to take home for later, they're that good. The other reason we keep returning is the service. Last time we came here for dinner, it was our first visit back after about 4 months. Miraculously, our server not only remembered where we like to sit but what we like to order as well. Impressive!
Top 5 worst things to find in your Chicken Vindaloo:
5 - long think human hair
4 - short curly human hair
3 - bandaid
2 - rat
1 - condom
So really, I guess taking a big scoop of Vindaloo and pulling out a long thick hair wasn't the worst thing...
But add it to pizza-crust-style naan, flavorless mutter paneer, tough over-cooked chick/lamb (who could tell the difference between the two?), and it was enough to make us leave most of the food on our plates.
Plus one star for letting us drink our own bottles of wine.
This is a really friendly, cosy restaurant. The food is better than other Indian restaurants I've tried in New York, though definitely not worthy of five stars. The lentil & tomato soup was superb. The saag was good. The korma was bland. The rose ice cream and mango desert were great.
Their prix-fixe menus are a great deal - the cheapest is $10 for three courses. The $12 veggie one will defeat all but the hungriest!
Yet another of the many, many restaurants I have never actually been to, only ordered delivery from. Damn you, delivery! You will be the end of me! I rue the day I learned of http://delivery.com! RUE, I SAY!
Anyway, this is the only of the many, many Indian restaurants on E. 6th Street I have sampled, and I find it fairly passable. The main draw for me is their dinner combos, where you can get an utterly ridiculous amount of food for a pretty good price. The Spice Cove Special Dinner or whatever the name of it is gets you soup, lentils, rice, naan, saag paneer (which is basically my favorite substance on earth), chicken tikka masala, and shrimp curry, all in pretty considerable quantities. All that for like $16. I order it when I'm at home sick and don't anticipate wanting to do anything like cooking for the next three meals or so.
...I just wish the food were slightly more delicious, but it gets the job done.
