I haven't been to Spice Xing in years, and after this experience I probably won't be coming back any time soon. We had a late family dinner at a time when there were very few diners in the restaurant. Yet despite there being more staff than customers, service was painfully slow and we had to ask for items repeatedly. The food itself was fairly good. Among our appetizers both the baby dosa and chili cheese toast were quite good. The lamb chop was also a hit. The main courses were a mixed bag with the salmon tandoor coming out somewhat dry and the butter chicken getting a thumbs down from our daughter. The dinner took so long with the slow service that we didn't have time to stay for dessert.
I had a fantastic time at this restaurant. We sat outside and enjoyed the peaceful and charming atmosphere. The cocktail list was impressive, and the mojito was the best I've had in a while. The menu was simple and easy to order from, with beautiful presentation. Although we didn't have wine, the list was good and reasonably priced. Our waiter was patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. I would definitely dine here again.
Yes but with a caveat. We've been to Spice Xing many times over many years — the first was just after they opened — and have always enjoyed it. However, the lunch menu has been changed to an abbreviated menu and all of the dishes that we enjoyed are now only available at dinner. The selection now available for lunch does not give us many options and I doubt we'll be going there again.
Once again, the food and service at this restaurant were fantastic. I ordered the lamb curry based on the server's recommendation and it did not disappoint. The portion size was generous and the spice level was just right. The staff is always attentive and friendly. Spice Xing is definitely one of our go-to spots.

The food was delicious as usual. We had prompt attention from our server and our meal was out of the kitchen really quickly. This was what we have come to expect here even when we are not the last ones in the restaurant like this time.
Not as good as its parent restaurant, Passage to India. Not the place to go for Indian food in Rockville!! Curry dish was bland and Tandoori chicken dish was ok...nothing special
The restaurant is consistently amazing! I'm thrilled to see that they made it through the pandemic!
Always great food! Brought a guest this time and she thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well.
