The food at this restaurant is delicious, with medium-sized portions. While waiting for my order, I browsed the convenient store which had a great selection of food and drinks. Each dish is made fresh to order, so it took some time to prepare, but it was worth the wait because it was delectable.

Delicious!! We ordered the Baingan Bharta, Malai Kofta, and garlic naan. The dishes came with rice at reasonable prices, and we enjoyed dining in the cute outdoor seating area. I'm thrilled that we have an Indian restaurant in the Placerville area!

Woke up in the mood for some good Indian food. Problem was that we now live in a rural area and we haven 't heard of any Indian restaurants in this region. So of course I searched for one on Yelp and I came across this place. It 's a convenience store with a restaurant outdoor setting on the left. We were greeted by a friendly woman and said we could sit anywhere we liked. We used to live near Little India in Southern California, so we 've had our fair share of authentic Indian cuisine. I have to say that I was impressed by their food! We ordered the butter chicken, chicken biryani and of course, garlic naan. The biryani was good but the butter chicken was so full of flavor. One word that best describes it would be intense. It really satisfied my Indian food cravings. The garlic naan was fluffy and had a good amount of garlic, just the right amount.If you 've never had Indian cuisine, I highly recommend you give it this place a try. Spice Kitchen is legit Indian food.
