I don’t know of a better place for dinner. Everything is delicious, the service is wonderful and the pricing is very reasonable given the quantity and quality of the food. We will continue to return.

Spice Kraft is our go-to Indian restaurant - in Del Ray and in Clarendon. The food is always superb and flavorful. Portions are so generous that we take home leftovers for a second meal at home. We have sampled every sauce and numerous protein options. Don't miss the happy hour specials - available every day!

We had a great time! The food was terrific & the drinks were tasty (the mojito was mostly lime juice, but they remade a different drink that was excellent!) Naan flight was my favorite!

The food was delicious. I can recommend the Spinach Pakora Chaat and Lashooni Cauliflower appetizer dishes. For main we had salmon with Kadai sauce and veggies in Chettinadu sauce. So yummy. Service was prompt and attentive. Excellent! The leftovers were even better.

Great experience for a birthday lunch. Small place but located in the corner circular booth since we had a big party - perfect spot. Food was fresh and delicious in general. Great presentation of the food. Service was good. I liked the music that was playing… nice touch. Would recommend maybe having a mini dessert to acknowledge the birthday person - that would have made the experience more meaningful. But enjoyed overall.

This was our 2nd visit. My husband and I ordered the $55 restaurant week dinner for 2, our guest ordered a la carte. Our guest order Tikka Masala chicken and was asked what spice level she would like. Our guest chose medium. I ordered the lamb kashmiri, and was not asked about degree of spiciness. No matter, as I usually choose mild. However, my husband had a Tikka Masala choice and said it was bland. The waiter did not ask either of us for desired level of spice, a big mistake for the server taking care of my husband. He tried our guest's meal, and found it tasted much better than his. My lamb kasmirir was terrific, and were our 2 appetizers (chicken with pineapple, veg Mauritania?). The desserts may be authentic, but not very tasty. As we prepared to leave, we were asked how was dinner, and the lovely gal seemed concerned that my husband was not asked about level of spice. She said she would talk to the waiter.

We had some issues getting seated; despite our reservations we needed to wait about ten minutes before a table cleared. Our waiter also took a significant amount of time to approach us for our order. Despite this the food was superb and the staff was very friendly.
