    Really enjoyed our visit to Alice symphony. The items are tasty with the right amount of spice. We tried items from the indochinese menu and enjoyed everything. The chili paneer, Salt and pepper prawns, and chicken Manchurian were all very good. We were also pleasantly surprised by their wine selection and enjoyed the Pinot Grigio offerings.

    Huge menu of interesting Indian food and Indo-Chinese food. Our appetizers came out 10 minutes before our friends' appetizers. Well spiced rogan josh and delicious goat. Loved the chicken lollipops. Seriously noisy restaurant. Difficult to have a conversation.

    Great, classy atmosphere. My wife and I had a great experience with our server Monji, who was knowledgeable, funny, and attentive. We've had cocktails all over the city, but we were surprised at how good our drinks were! The starters/appetizers and mains were delicious. Each of our plates (hot for me, mild for her) had just the right amount of spice.

    Overall food was good. Very noisy. We were put off by the repeated and aggressive way the staff removed plates as soon as we finished a course, without asking permission, and after we asked NOT to remove plates until all of us were done eating. Better for carry out than dine in.

    The guy who took our order refused to return to the table as we were waiting for an appetizer long after the first one was served. After ignoring several polite requests ( while standing against the wall and doing nothing)for attention, he sent over a very junior person who had no idea what we ordered, seemed confused and uncomfortable and went back to him to ask a question about our seeking it. His focus on his elevated stAtus at the expense of serving the customer was a bit frustrating but pretty hilarious. He never approached the table to acknowledge the issue. Clearly too self important for facing the customer again after taking the order He has no idea what business he’s in. Food was surprisingly disappointing -mediocre Indian food. Would try the food again but given the attitude i won’t be back

    Simply the BEST Indian dinning experience on the eastern seaboard!!! From the moment we walked in and were greeted by the manager and also the owner of the resturant to when we got our appetizers and entrees; everything we ate was delicious!!! The service was terrific, especially given the fact that literally every table was taken including the nice bar area at the front. We will for sure be back soon for another amazing Indian night of fantastic cuisine!!

    Monji - he's one of the best best persons to serve anyone - delightful, helpful and lively. Service is par excellence as is the food! I'm Indian yet I thought the food was great and my Jamaican-American guest loved it! Ambience is good and the place does fill up. Like in most restaurants, I have some beef with dim lighting, I'm as blind as a bat after sundown. Still, my growing old will not stop me from wining and dining my Indo-food curious people here!

    Had dinner there recently and I have to say, the food and service were excellent. The servers are very attentive to the customers needs. Tried a few dishes and the food was hot and delicious!! My only complaint is the restaurant was very dark. I know they are striving for ambiance but in my opinion, a little more lighting would be a welcome improvement. That aside, I will definitely return to Spice Symphony- 50th St.

    They didn’t let us seat despite us making a reservation. It showed on the app that the restaurant allowed us to reserve a table post 2:30 but did not mention anywhere that it shuts at 2:45 which we only found out about this after arriving there. Extremely unhappy with the service.

    Spice Symphony's food is very good to excellent. Some dishes were a bit spicy for me, but not for others. The service is outstanding. There were many filled tables in a smallish space, but the noise level was very comfortable.

    We enjoyed our dinner but we ordered two different dishes that had a red sauce on them. It was very hot even though we had not been asked what degree of heat we wanted. Many people wouldn’t have been able to eat it at all because we generally like at least medium heat in our foods. This was our only complaint. The rest of our food was delicious, the service and the ambience were very good.
