Spice Route

Marco★★★★★

This was our first restaurant on the first day of our trip to India, so expectations were high. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by both the hotel and restaurant staff. Everyone was incredibly helpful and explained the menu perfectly. From the starters to the mains and desserts, it was a truly memorable culinary experience. While the prices may be higher than at other places, it is absolutely worth it. I would say the standout dish was the Duck Confit Red curry. My friend ordered it, but I managed to get a bite, and with a bit of roti, it was exceptional. If I ever return to Delhi, this would be the first place I would visit without hesitation.

Lunch at The Spice Route was an outstanding experience. The set menu offered excellent quality throughout, with beautifully balanced flavors and refined presentation. Service was attentive, professional, and perfectly paced. Particularly impressive is the atmosphere: a rare oasis of calm in the otherwise vibrant chaos of Delhi. The combination of ambiance, food quality, and fair pricing makes this a highly recommendable destination. Delighted to have discovered this place — I will certainly return.

“Flavorful Asian Food”, “Many Vegetarian Options”, “Great Ambience & Service” Went for the second time today and the flavors were still very much on point. Unfortunately, the cauliflower fritters were undercooked, so I could still see and taste the white batter… But otherwise, it was an enjoyable meal. The service was great and the ambience unbeatable.

So deserving of its high reviews and ratings. The menu is curated superbly by their Master Chefs and caters for all discerning tastes including vegan and allergy sufferers. Set in the majestic Imperial hotel you are wowed from the point of arrival through the amazing hotel Atrium and taken back into colonial times of the Raj as the interior de or is sublime and interior is painted using food colourings too! The meet and greet is considerate and efficient. The dining area superbly laid out and really there's not a bad seat anywhere. The staff are attentive and considerate and offer advice and shows they've been really well trained by management here. The accompanying drinks complement the dining moods and varying spice levels means select by the glass for each course. A worthy winner of its rosettes and definitely in the conversation for Michelin recognition. You won't find a bad plate and your tastebuds will be left tingling with delight. You will be whisked back into the old tim

The Spice Route, Imperial: A Masterclass in Intricate Artistry 🥢🎨 ​The Spice Route at The Imperial is less a dining room and more a curated gallery. The space is defined by exquisite carvings and woodwork, spanning from the pillars to the ceiling. The design is meticulously structured around nine distinct sections, each featuring hand-painted walls and historical artistry that creates a truly immersive environment. ​The Thai menu is handled with similar delicacy, offering a balance of fusion dishes—such as the standout jackfruit in coconut sauce—alongside precise executions of Green Curry and Pad Thai. The cocktails are subtle and well-composed, but the Crème Brûlée platter is the definitive highlight, featuring five distinct and expertly balanced flavors. It is an exceptional destination where the visual detail is matched by the culinary output.

Highly disappointing and discriminatory experience! The restaurant interior is absolutely outstanding and I was back at the Spice Route after a long time so I was really looking forward to my lunch date, however, the entire experience turned out to be a scar which would always remain in my heart. The service staff was absolutely discriminatory towards Non-Whites, we were made to feel this way by their biased service. Right adjacent to us some Brits were having lunch who were looked after so well and asked about the meals and on contrary no one even bothered to ask us about the food, they were not even bothered to serve us the food with standard service or bothered to ask if we might need some cutlery or chopsticks. We opted for vegetarian set menu, the food could have possibly been a saviour but sadly it was so below average and like i said no one was bothered to even ask us how was the food. You’re only welcome if you’re oozing luxury or you gotta have a white skin at the Imperial hot

Just an amazing experience. Better than a 5 star rating. The decor is mind blowing. The detailing is the best I have seen ever in a restaurant anywhere in the world. The service and food are excellent. The atmosphere is transporting. Given it took 7 years to build this its a complete work of art and a labor of love. Excellent evening. Needs to be experienced not read about.

Were staying at the hotel and decided to have dinner there one night. Food was excellent. Decor is so beautiful, got no word to describe it. Staff is the best. When a nice lady offered us to choose between two tables, I said I'd let "birthday girl", aka my mother, choose which one she prefered. When time for dessert came, we were suprised with a birthday cake! So thoughtful.
