What Carolyn Zaragoza likes about The Island Spice:
Excellent Indian food loved the palak paneer and the Korma Chicken. The vegetable samosas were so good too! Our waiter was efficient and friendly. Overall a wonderful meal. View all feedback. What Suz D doesn't like about The Island Spice:
We visited last week and dined inside. The food was very good and hot. However, the portions were so small. We couldn't believe it, especially for their dinner prices. We have eaten at many Indian restaurants all over the US and Europe. The service was not friendly and the dining room needs an update. I would give 4 stars if we were given full serving sizes. Easy fix. View all feedback.

The restaurant, Island Spice, offers a mix of reviews from customers. While some find the portions to be small for the price and the service not friendly, others rave about the delicious dishes like samosas and dosas, and commend the staff for accommodating dietary restrictions such as vegan options. The ambiance is noted to be enjoyable, with Bollywood videos playing in the background. The flavors of the food, such as lamb tikka masala and mango ginger chicken curry, are highly praised and leave customers wanting to come back for more. Overall, Island Spice seems to have a variety of dishes that cater to different tastes, with a standout service experience for some patrons.
