Information about this business (4)

For years, diners were handed a limited menu when it came to Indian restaurants. They could choose either upscale, fine-dining establishments or low-end curry shops. There was no middle ground. Clearly it was time to take the cuisine to a new level according to Sushi Malhotra, who founded Dawat, New York's most acclaimed Indian restaurant. With that goal in mind, Mr. Malhotra joined with...

Café Spice, opened in 2000 by Sushil Malhotra (owner of Dawat in New York), is a contemporary Indian restaurant with a menu that tours the subcontinent. The interior features textured beige walls with recessed display boxes for spice jars, hanging lanterns, and cut-out windows -- very dramatic and soothing all at once. All main courses include fragrant basmati rice, nan bread, and several...

Tasty Indian dishes and an earthy, modern setting bring a slightly exotic flare to Old City.

In Short
From its open windows on Second Street, this extension of a small New York chain of swanky Indian bistros is sleek and modern, with earthy reds, greens and golds reflecting the...

won't go back!

I went to Cafe Spice because I was invited to an indian mixer party, hoping to make some indian friends. Well, the guy at the bar said I had made up the printed email I had brought with me and that I was completely wrong. I had gotten there a little early (10:30 pm) and the place didn't have any patrons yet. The drinks were overpriced, the food was subpar, and the bartender was unpleasant.

Super

Not your conventional Indian joint! More 'classy' and well done overall. Good food, good service and good, clean ambiance. A little more expensive than other places, but certainly worth it.

Love it!!!

Warhol couldn't have designed a more intriguing dining room than the one this trendy Indian eatery inhabits. Indeed, the bold, wide-open space matches sharp geometric elements with a color scheme inspired by exotic spices (reds, greens, yellows, oranges), making this one of the hippest gathering spots in the Old City. Menu items include traditional faves like saag paneer, biryani,...

What To Drink: Beer is best for washing down hot chilies and spicy curries. Try the Kingfisher or the Taj Mahal, both imported from India.

When To Go: For your dining comfort, come on weeknights. On Friday and Saturday nights, Cafe Spice--like many in the neighborhood--turns into a haven for 20-somethings.
