" I visited Southern Spice recently and found it to be a cozy place to enjoy South Indian cuisine. The food came quickly, which I appreciated, and the portion sizes were more than adequate. I enjoyed the goat roast and garlic naan, but the flavors were somewhat muted compared to what I expected. I think if they could boost the spice levels a bit, they would have a standout dish. Overall, a pleasant meal, but could use some enhancements. " (*Curated Review*)

" So I went to Southern Spice based on a friend's recommendation, and I was not disappointed! The service was friendly and the servers seemed knowledgeable about the menu. The food itself was delicious! I had the special Chicken Biryani, and it was perfectly spiced and very satisfying. The naan was fresh and paired surprisingly well with the curry. Though the initial wait was a bit long, it’s worth it for the food. I highly recommend trying this restaurant out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I simply love Southern Spice! Every time I go, I gather with friends and we enjoy sharing various dishes. I've tried many things, but the standout has to be the Chicken Mandi. It's flavorful, and the portion is big enough for sharing comfortably. The atmosphere is lively, enhancing the dining experience. Although the service can be slightly delayed, the warmth of the staff makes up for it. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic South Indian meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" Southern Spice could use a little work on their service staff. While the food is delectable—especially the shrimp 65 and special chicken biryani—the wait for a table can turn what should be a pleasant night into a hassle. The food was piping hot and delicious, though, with bold flavors and generously sized portions. Just wish they would streamline the seating and service process to match the quality of their food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply the best South Indian restaurant I've visited in New Jersey! The moment you step inside, the aroma of spices fills the air. I had the pleasure of trying their Chicken Dum Biryani, and it was phenomenal! The flavors were rich, and it definitely reminded me of authentic homemade dishes from my grandmother. The service was fast and friendly, and I appreciated that the kitchen was open, which allowed us to see how clean and organized everything was. I highly recommend Southern Spice to anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Southern Spice was such a treat! The flavors of the goat curry were heavenly, and the biryani reminded me of my trips to India. The spice level was just right, and paired well with the garlic naan. Although the place was busy, the staff remained friendly and attentive. I loved the Bollywood music playing in the background! I left feeling satisfied, and I'll definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Gongura Chicken and Mutton Dum Biryani. The flavors were authentic and the portion sizes were enough for sharing. Although the service was a bit slow at times, it was worth the wait. If you're a fan of Indian cuisine, Southern Spice is a must-visit. It truly embodies the essence of South Indian cooking!
