Spice Box Lexington

Spice Box in Lexington opened just outside Lexington centre in March, and I just heard about them.



The Grand Opening is ongoing. There is parking in front and also more parking in the back.



The inside is nice and bright and impeccably clean. As you can see, they do a lunch buffet ($10.99) during the week and I slightly more expensive one on the weekend. Everything was labelled.



A better picture of the buffet and the amiable owner. He was one of the few that actually asked why I took photos. I'm surprised that it doesn't happen more often, but maybe people are used to everyone taking pictures these days.



They offer three different soups, and I tried the Lentil soup, and it was excellent and well seasoned. Check out the gorgeous counter if you go.



Naan is included. The first trip to the buffet yielded some spicy fries that were cooked really nicely but were just mildly spicy. The onion pakora ended up being a cauliflower pakora. The mini samosa was tasty and crispy.



Here we have roasted eggplant, chickpea saag, biryani, chicken curry and tandoori chicken. The first three items were very good and packed a bit of heat. The chicken curry was OK. The tandoori chicken was seasoned well, but I think it was reheated. For a lunch buffet, the food was surprisingly well seasoned.




Not only do they do pizza, but they also do pasta dishes. The owner brought me a slice of Chicken Tikka Pizza that was surprisingly good with a nice thin crust. The owner said that people loved the Indian influenced pizzas. I'll be back for more of the excellent buffet.
They don't have a fine dining license, so if you want to order from the menu, you have to order and pay at the counter.
