   The food was tasty and fresh but the service was very disorganised. It took an incredibly long time to place our drinks and then food order, and despite asking multiple times, our drinks didn’t all come until after the second appetiser. We were brought other people’s drinks 4 times, and our wine order was misunderstood. Despite the servers all being friendly, no one seemed to know what the other was doing which soured the experience. Once the food started coming out, it was delivered fast and it tasted good. The samosas were very flavourful and the garlic naan and butter chicken were great. The prawns in a green coconut curry unfortunately didn’t have a lot of flavour. The food was good enough that I would return, but I hope that the service will be better in the future.

   Took far too long to get drinks and service in general. Menu had changed since we'd last been there, which was a shame as dishes we'd really liked had been removed. We ordered the Lentil Fritters as one share dish, which came out as a bowl of slushy yoghurt and brown sauce with a couple of crackers stuck in the top. The waitress was most put out when I told her the dish was not as described and we didn't want it. I had to pick up the plate and ask three times for her to take it away. Ten minutes later we got another slushy yoghurt dish which we again had to return. Communication was a shocker. Food was OK but with such bad service I wouldn't go back. When paying the bill I had to ask for the slushy yoghurt bowl (supposedly lentil fritters) to be removed or we would have been paying for it. It seemed obvious they hoped we wouldn't notice. Not impressed and won't be back.

   Garlic naan is not strong, main veg are not flavored well. Small portion and need to wait for 5 confusing service crew to take drink order.

   If you are coming for ambience the restaurant is fine. For quality of food and charges for it, do not come here.

   Good food! It's in a great location, so it's a must-try. Service is a 3/5, but if you're lucky, you get served by some very energetic waiters who would want you to try more stuff. The others just don't pay any attention to you most of the time or are very cold to you. They keep taking away the menus even if you ask them that you need one for your table to decide and order more stuff lol. But I guess that's not a big deal. Overall, a must-try if you're looking for good Indian food along with a good view.

   We recently had lunch at Spiced to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The whole experience was sensational, the food was exquisite, the wait staff were wonderful and the location superb. I will be recommending Spiced to all my friends.

    This is a lovely Indian restaurant located right on Darling Harbour. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with a beautiful water view. The food was delicious with the anticipated classic dishes on the menu, plus entrees with innovative twists. For appetizers we enjoyed the samosas and “paneer tacos” which turned out to be a delectable fusion. The garlic naan was the best I have ever had and the chicken biriyani was perfectly seasoned and tasty! The atmosphere was lively and the wait staff was very attentive to our needs. We were served our dishes in timely manner in spite of the fact that they were quite busy on a Friday night. Overall we were very happy and we would certainly return here the next time we are in town.
