Just loved the place, perfect fine dine experience, loved the flavour, freshness and the portion of the food, the best part was ambience and the staff was very much supporting.. We got the complementary cake as it was my birthday and the cake was super delicious, we didn’t order much but whatever we ordered it was perfect.. fortunately they have Chang beer which is mostly not available in India.. totally 10/10

Great restaurant, amazing food. Saket was amazing as well. He is a great host and was always attentive to our needs and recommendations. He ensured that our dietary restrictions are met. Will definitely visit again.

2.5/5 Stars - A Mixed Experience at Spicy Route, The Imperial Hotel, Janpath I visited Spicy Route at The Imperial Hotel, Janpath, with a friend for a leisurely afternoon lunch, and while the service and ambiance were commendable, the food fell short of expectations. The casava chips were overly oily and greasy, turning sticky upon chewing. The appetizer, a tofu fritter, felt like a fancier version of a bread pakoda but was similarly greasy. My friend's Thai curry had undercooked peas that were hard and had to be set aside. I ordered the mutton curry, which had a rich flavor profile, but the mutton itself was springy and not tender as expected from a 5-star establishment. The rice paired well with the curry, but the mutton's texture was a letdown. The mango parfait dessert looked appealing, but one of the spoons had a sour element that threw me off. Throughout the meal, we had to ask multiple times for condiments, which the staff claimed were over, only to be presented with a bowl of fennel seeds as we were leaving. For ₹3,300 for a 3-course meal, I expected better quality and consistency. While the ambiance and service were pleasant, the food's inconsistencies and lack of attention to detail make this a one-time visit for me. Perhaps with improvements in food quality, especially with the mutton dish, Spicy Route could live up to its 5-star reputation. Suggestions for Improvement: - Refine the preparation of dishes to ensure consistency in taste and texture. - Work on the quality of proteins, especially the mutton, to make it tender and succulent. - Improve the attention to detail in serving condiments and other accompaniments. Overall:A decent attempt that needs refinement, especially in the food department, to justify the premium pricing and 5-star rating.

Celebrating a birthday with my partner. We thought of a quiet lunch in a classy restaurant. Ruined by a large group who were allowed with their toddlers. The parents lacked social sense and let the kids run amok making noise and just being kids. Nothing again kids enjoying themselves, but against the parents who cannot respect that other guests are there for their private moments too

The food was really bad. We ordered Malabar paratha which was not authentic, and too oily. We also ordered appams which were too salty, almost inedible. The curries were heavy ( we ordered mutton and chicken). The jackfruit curry was also okay, it was like all the curries tasted the same. The crème brûlée sampler was okay and worth it. Definitely not worth the price. It was way too much.
