Deccan Spice Restaurant - Edison

Rated 5.0  If bold flavors, aromatic spices, and a warm atmosphere are your thing, Deccan Spice delivers all that and more. Tucked away on a bustling street corner, this Indian gem offers a culinary experience that feels both comforting and exciting. We started with the Chicken Kabab, which came out sizzling on a hot platter. Tender, smoky, and perfectly spiced, the kababs were juicy on the inside with just the right amount of char on the outside. They didn’t last long at our table. Next up was the Paneer Tikka, and it was a vegetarian delight. The paneer was soft and well-marinated, with flavors that soaked right into the cheese. Served with tangy mint chutney, each bite was a burst of smoky, creamy goodness — even the meat-lovers at the table were impressed. For the main course, the Chicken Biryani was the undisputed star. Aromatic basmati rice layered with flavorful, spiced chicken, and topped with crispy fried onions — it had just the right level of heat and richness. The portion size was generous, and the accompanying raita added a cool contrast. As for the service — absolutely top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to offer recommendations when we were undecided. They checked in often without being overbearing and even shared a few insights on how their dishes are prepared. Overall, Deccan Spice hits all the right notes with quality food, warm service, and a menu that makes you want to come back to try everything else. Highly recommended for both casual dinners and special occasions.

Rated 5.0  A True Gem of Indian Cuisine I came in last weekend with my friend Mini who introduced me to the restaurant. From the moment we stepped in, this restaurant delivered an exceptional experience on every level. The ambiance is both relaxing and beautifully designed, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The service was impeccable—our wait staff were incredibly polite, attentive, and thoughtful. Without ever having to ask, our water glasses were refilled and our table was checked on regularly, making us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening. And the food—absolutely outstanding. Every dish was bursting with flavor, earning a well-deserved 10 out of 10. The naan was a standout: warm, soft, and perfectly infused with garlic. Each bite across the menu was a testament to the kitchen’s skill and passion for authentic Indian cuisine.

Rated 5.0  I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant! The chicken curry was absolutely delicious—perfectly spiced and full of flavor. What truly made the visit special was the excellent service provided by Deepak. He was attentive, courteous, and made sure everything was just right. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the warm hospitality. Will definitely be coming back!

Rated 5.0  What a great find in Edison/Metuchen area. The food here is some of the best Indian food I've ever had. The curries are perfectly spiced and perfectly creamy. We got the chicken Tikka masala and Masala Fish Curry, which were both absolutely delicious. Our server, Deepak, was great and very professional. In addition, the ambiance was very romantic and bougie, which created a perfect backdrop for the delicious food. Overall, this is a fantastic spot, and we will definitely return when we are back in Edison
