Spice Root By Kohinoor Indian Pakistani Decatur

I?ve been coming to Spice Root in Decatur for years, and they never disappoint. It?s honestly such a hidden gem and some of the best Indian food I?ve ever had. The people who work there are also really nice. The lady at the front even helped me bring myfood to my car.

The food was amazing! The owner's are a desi couple and it really felt like eating my mom's home cooked meal! The portions were really large as well. Usually chicken 65 is a small appetizer that you have to order two servings of but she gave me such a bighelping! Also don't forget to try the desserts, the falooda was amazing! 12/10

The food here is of excellent quality. The seating area is quite simple, but we opted for takeout. The dishes were perfectly seasoned, with a nice kick without being overly spicy, offering complex and intriguing flavors. I highly recommend it; it's great value for the money.

I used to really enjoy this restaurant, but I've noticed a decline in their service. We placed an online order that indicated our food would be ready in 20-30 minutes, yet we ended up waiting over an hour, and the place wasn't even busy. There was no explanation offered—just a long wait with repeated assurances that it was "almost ready" while we watched them pack it up. The food was good once we finally received it, but I don't think I'll be coming back.

We wanted a change of scenery from being at home, and since the restaurant was relatively empty, we opted to eat in. The dining experience is casual and no-frills, but the quality of the food is what truly stands out. I believe their prices are in line with other Indian restaurants in the area, and we received a substantial amount of food for what we paid—about $40 for two of us, including tip. We ordered onion naan, Khadi Chicken, and Tandoori Chicken Leg (which consists of a whole half chicken, two thighs, and two drumsticks, all served together). The spice level was just right—there was a kick, but it didn’t overwhelm the delicious flavors. The service was attentive without being intrusive, allowing us to enjoy our meal in peace. Water is self-serve from a machine. I genuinely hope this restaurant continues to prosper—they've gained a loyal customer in me!
