" My family and I decided to try out Touch of Spice on a Saturday evening. Initially, we were a bit put off by the empty restaurant, but we decided to stay. The food was a mixed bag; the samosas were crispy and flavorful while the main course was underwhelming. The butter chicken lacked the rich taste I associate with Indian cuisine. The service was fine, although we did have to wait longer than expected for our meals. Since we love Indian food, we might give them another chance, hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Touch of Spice, but my experience was rather subdued. The atmosphere was charming, but the food was not fitting of the culinary reputation associated with Indian cuisine. The masala chai tasted overly sweet and my chicken tikka lacked the crispy texture I'd hoped for. Service was neither here nor there; no one really checked on my table. I think it's a mix of potential but also some key areas that genuinely need improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Walking into Touch of Spice, I felt quite optimistic given the lively decor and inviting smells. Unfortunately, the food didn't match my expectations. I was excited to try their biryani but was shocked to find it bland with no distinct flavors. Plus, the portion was smaller than I anticipated for a biryani dish. Service was decent but not outstanding. It’s a shame because I was hoping for a delightful experience. I might give it another shot someday just to ensure I’m not missing out, but I will be cautious. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic evening at Touch of Spice! The ambiance was very inviting and made for a wonderful backdrop to what turned out to be a delightful meal. I ordered a selection of appetizers, and the flavors were on point! The staff were friendly and checked in occasionally, ensuring a great dining experience. I was particularly impressed with the quality of spices they used. I will definitely be back to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time trying out a lunch buffet at Touch of Spice after hearing mixed opinions. I found the selection to be decent; however, the freshness was hit or miss. Dishes sometimes tasted like they had been sitting for a while, particularly the chicken and vegetables. I did like the variety available though. Service was nothing special, but the staff managed to be accommodating. I likely won’t return but I’m not outright saying I hated it either. " (*Curated Review*)

" Attended an afternoon lunch at Touch of Spice with some friends. The atmosphere was bright, yet laid back, perfect for a cozy gathering. I chose the chicken biryani, which turned out flavorful, albeit a bit oily. With that said, my friends enjoyed their meals, especially the palak paneer, which I took a bite of and enjoyed. The service was average; it could have been better since we had to ask for the same thing twice. Still, overall a decent experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My daughter and I had a lovely dining experience at Touch of Spice. The chicken tikka was up to mark with robust flavors, and we both enjoyed the dal makhani which was creamy and comforting. It’s rare to find a restaurant not drowning their dishes in excess cream, and I really appreciated that! The interior has a homey feel and makes you want to stay. I have to note, our server was helpful but seemed rather rushed. Overall, we had a delightful meal and will return soon. " (*Curated Review*)
