Review from Tamarah S.
Scarborough, ON
Finally went here after living in the area for almost a year! It was good. I was there a little early (it must have been like, 4pm on a Tuesday) so they didn't seem to have all of the food ready yet. The naan was amazing, as was the butter chicken. The chicken biryani was also very good. Pretty sure I tried a little of almost everything and no complaints here, although none of the food was all that spicy, which was slightly disappointing. Would definitely go back again though!

Indian Spice Kitchen is pretty cool. Located in a weird area, away from solid restaurants, and I don't count the Bombay Palace as 'decent'. The system is mainly buffet during lunch and everything is offered in relatively smaller portions at the buffet table and frequently refreshed.
They have an appetizing assortment of salads and DIY Chaat, about eight to ten vegetarian mains and about six to ten meat options. They also have a well-used tandoor.
I would give this place 4 stars but many of the mains were very hot and spicy. Obviously, I should be well-prepared bearing the name, but heartburn after a meal is not really my thing.Listed in: April Challenge: The Underdog, Indian Food

This place was mediocre at best the food for some reason does not taste like your typical Indian food. The spices are either too mild or overly done for dessert there was not a great selection the only thing that stood out to me throughout the whole meal was the gulab jamun by far the most delicious I had.
Prolly won't repeat. -

I love this place! It is nicely decorated and a place you would be proud to take family or friends. There is a huge selection of curries, both veggie and non with wonderful samosas (I was told a man comes in specially for them to make them) and pakoras. The naan is always cooked fresh and is delicious as well as the mango lassis. I also enjoyed the masala chai tea. Good parking. Open for lunch and dinner. Extremely reasonable buffet - $7.99 - vegetarian $8.99 - meat for dinner and lower for lunch I believe. Take-out is available for thali. As well, I have ordered their samosas for parties! Enjoy.

For Indian restaurants, this place is very good. All the dishes are cooked differently than those found in more popular/typical Indian restaurants like Jaipur Grill on Yonge or Cuisine of India.
Arrival: I ordered takeout. They took a long time. They seem to be short staffed and I had to wait a while. I have to admit it was worth it. So, be aware and plan for it.
Food: It was very very good. We ordered a wide variety of items. Our favourite were the veggie dishes. The butter chicken gravy was super good but you could tell the chicken was pre-cooked and then warmed in the sauce. It should have cooked in the sauce for better taste. We actually ordered 2 chicken dishes and the meat tasted the same in both.
Overall: A very good experience. We ordered too much and had leftovers the next day which were just as good. -

Good North Indian buffet at reasonable price.
Lots of variety dishes on the buffet counter. And you can self-serve your own "paani puri"
Foods are somehow bit too spicy and aromatic... however, the tasty meals are a fulfilling experience. -

I have enjoyed Indian Spice Kitchen on several occasions. I can report that the owners have added labels to the food with general descriptions as well as indications of the level of spiciness. If you need further help anybody will be glad to assist.
An assortment of meat dishes (mostly chicken) has also been added to the menu, though it remains largely vegetarian. I am also quite pleased with their reasonable prices. Indian Spice Kitchen also features a nice salad bar and a small but scrumptious assortment of desserts. All is included in the price of the buffet, although they also feature a traditional sit-down style menu (available on their website). If you are in the mood to stay home they also deliver!
All the food has been quite delicious, and the freshly prepared naan is delivered to the table in a never ending flow. The staff is very friendly and prompt with serving their customers. Dishes are cleared from the table by the time you get back with a new plate from the buffet.
The atmosphere is very relaxed and enjoyable. The tables and chairs are sturdy and kept quite clean, including the spotless white linens. The washrooms are well maintained. I believe the dining area has separate overhead ventilation, so as not to inundate customers with smells from the kitchen/buffet area. I have never noticed any, apart from my own plate.
I have introduced several friends and family to Indian Spice Kitchen and they have all enjoyed themselves. I look forward to introducing more people to this hidden gem! If you have not yet been, what are you waiting for? Bring your appetite because you will not leave hungry! -

My bf and I saw Indian Spice Kitchen listed on http://Veg.ca and decided to check it out. It is an indian vegetarian buffet but the owner mentioned that they are considering adding meat to the menu in the future. Their prices are incredibly low ($8.99 for all you can eat dinner) and the naan bread is freshly made and the best ever. The only drawback of this place is that they don't label any of the food so you have no idea what you are eating. We suggested adding names of dishes to the buffet and the owner said they're looking into doing that soon too.

I was really pleased to finally find an Indian Buffet place in Toronto where you eat worth your money, or even more than that! Tucked away on Markham Rd, this place isn't located at a place where you just read the sign board and walk in. I was recommended this place by a friend, and after delaying for several months (not a big fan of Indian food), I finally decided to give it a try.
The buffet is pretty extensive. Fans of Indian "chaat" and "paani puri" won't be disappointed by their decent spread. The Tandoori chicken is just perfect. It is soft and succulent with the perfect combination of spices. There are several vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes to choose from. However, the Chicken Xcuti (thats what the hand written label said) is a must try. It is a curry based chicken with mint and coconut, and is definitely my favorite Indian curry now. The Lamb Curry is equally good. Hot naans keep coming as long as you want them, and surprisingly, you can have Dosas as well. Just ask the sweet little lady at the counter, and your table will be loaded with hot, crispy dosas. Needless to say, there's unlimited sambar and chutney too! The Gulab Jamoons for dessert are easily the best I have had in Toronto, although I wasn't impressed by the Carrot Halwa.
The service is good and the people there very polite. Unlike some buffet places where the tardiness in clearing plates is a major bugging factor, here the plates are gone by the time you are back with your next load.
The whole place is really neat and well kept. The environment is relaxed and they play Bollywood songs at a volume that's just right.
If you are remotely interested in Indian food, and would like to get stuffed at a price that's hardly anything,you really need to try Indian Spice Kitchen.
