We absolutely love dining at The Spice! Every visit is a wonderful and pleasant experience. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and very family-friendly—which is important to us. The staff always goes above and beyond to make us feel at home, and their kindness truly stands out. The food is consistently delicious and packed with authentic Indian flavor. You can really tell they care about quality and tradition in every dish. If you’re looking for a place that combines amazing food with great service and a cozy vibe, this is it. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a good Indian place in town and this place didn't disappoint. My girlfriend and I got the butter chicken and garlic naan and were both impressed with the quality of the food. Equally as satisfying were the house made beverages we had. She ordered the iced chai tea which she said was her new favorite, and we both had the mango lassi. We could tell the lassi was made fresh, exactly what a mango lassi should be (not from concentrate like other places in town.) overall I would say the visit not only met our expectations, but was every bit as good as we hoped it would be. Definitely our new go to spot for fantastic Indian cuisine!

I’m still eating my food but felt compelled to leave a review immediately due to the sole fact that — the Lemon Prawn appetizer might be the one of the best things I’ve ever had in my life. The butter paneer is also great. Spice level good, I ordered hot. Spicy, but not painfully so. Strongly recommend this place for lunch/dinner or anything inbetween.

We dined in recently and enjoyed the food. We got the Garlic Naan, Tandoori Chicken, Mango Lassi, Samosa Chat, Cracker Prawns, Bhindi Masala, special request: Matar Paneer. Everything was delicious, tandoori was tender and flavorful, the Bhindi Masala was so good, if you love Okra this is the dish for you! The cracker prawns were flavorful and crunchy. The mango Lasso was good, just wish it would have had more yogurt. It was more on the citrus/mango side. Basmati rice was cooked to perfection. I also requested matar Paneer, which is my favorite, the taste was great. Another thing that was good was the samosas and chutneys. We would go again. The restaurant is small. The place is nice, but can get a cold draft when the door opens during the cold season, due to the small location. 10/10, would recommend!

Amazing Indian food! We had the butter shrimp, chicken saffron, Naan bread (garlic and cheese). Traditional family style. The taste was on point. Not overly seasoned. Very nice people. The venue is small, but I think in time and the business they are getting, they should move to a bigger spot. The table also had a white sheet on top to color. So my daughter was very pleased with that and we helped draw also. Overall great place. Good food. Friendly people. Please come try

Fantastic little place in Yakima. I got the butter chicken (hot, and it definitely was hot) along with the paneer pakora. Great tastes, great presentation, comfortable atmosphere, and very good service.

We are visiting from out of town and are regular consumers of Indian Food. This was a great experience. Service was great, very attentive and knowledgeable and provided great recommendations. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Truly not one complaint. We had samosas, rice, garlic naan, shahi paneer and seafood kadhai. The shrimp was exceptionally cooked, they were careful not to overcook it. I liked that the paneer was crumbled and not cubed how it’s usually presented, so it felt like you got paneer evenly through every bite. We also tried the mango and rose lassi- both amazing and not overly sweet. Very impressed and highly recommend.
