I accompanied my friend to City Spice, and as a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised by their excellent selection of vegetarian dishes. The customer service impressed me when I mistakenly ordered the wrong item due to mixing up the names. The staff quickly corrected the order and got me exactly what I intended. I'll definitely be returning to this place soon.

They are doing wrong marketing by saying best Indian food in town. Firstly they have Bangladeshi food which is different than Indian, and thus the quality, spice, taste, freshness is very different
