Lovely restaurant in Jaipur. We received a warm welcome from the staff and like many other diners we decided to eat outside.
The Indian dishes we chose were delicious. The staff were very helpful and the live music and dancer added to the atmosphere. We would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Jaipur.

We were a bit sceptical at first, our guide took us here and we unfortunately had already had a bad experience previously with a restaurant he recommended in another city but that was all forgotten about when he took us here. It does feel like you go down a back alley to get there but Spice Court did not disappoint. We sat out in the courtyard which is very pretty. There were plenty of other tables giving ambience and there was music and a local girl dancing too.
The food was fantastic. We had the chicken tikka masala and mutton rogan josh which were extremely flavourful and would definitely recommend.
The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is that the local dancing girl came round the tables individually obviously wanting a tip - I didn’t really enjoy the looks of disdain she was giving me whilst holding a dollar bill to her face when I refused - we weren’t really watching her anyway as we were in the middle of our dinner!
All in all though, definitely would recommend!

Had a wonderfully prepared Lal Maas topped up with a Garlic Naan and there was beer too. The ambience of the place is great with folk music playing outside. The location is a little confusing if you are a first-timer but the food more than makes up for it

How to lose a client who has been a regular since the beginning of Spice Court 101. P.S. I doubt how Garry Mehigan would feel after reading this as he really loves this place and visits! I wish I could tag him in this.
Spice Court is a disheartening story and a brief review. Let's begin the journey.
Staff Courtesy: 02/10
Food: 01/10 ( I really want to give a negative but that would be a overdo)
Ambiance: 06/10 (They are ready to freeze people outside without a proper heating arrangement in winter. Their manager has the audacity to say "Mujhe irritate mat karo baithna hai toh baith jao" (Translation for all the Foreigners coming in "Do not irritate me by asking questions if I can accommodate you inside or not just sit outside or wait. P.S. Another Family came in right in front of me and he happily sent them inside.)
I fail to understand how being in the hospitality industry you can not understand hospitality.
The FOOD. Why do we go to a restaurant which has been rated 4.5/5 overall across platforms? To experience the food right? Trust me if I went to a Dhaba (Street Style Food) they would have better food and to the right temperature when serving their clients. Funny thing they have a "Wall of Fame" where they have framed their food awards and reviews. Please do the honors of destroying it and just framing this review as a SOURCE OF TRUTH.
Please get down off your high horses and rebrand, and restructure your staff and food quality. Especially your new manager who either is too disappointed about working or I don't know what is his problem? If you cannot respect please do not disrespect your clients.

The food here is extremely average and the staff extremely undertrained. It took them over an hour to get our food and the server spilled the curry on my phone and hand while trying to place it on the table followed by no apology. Definitely doesn’t justify the prices either

Pathetic food. Trust me
It's so spicy that you mouth literally burns. The manager say, we cook spicy, Marsala loaded food because restaurant name is spice Court. Seriously???
I believe, they will put spices in steamed rice also with this justification.
Serious warning to those who visit, in case you do, carry eno for sure

Nice place, nice atmosphere with traditional entertainment during dinner. Abundant, well prepared and quality food. Service, as usual in most restaurant in Rajasthan, very smilimg albeit slightly slow. A plus was the adjacent (an part of the same structure) patisserie where you can either order some special dessert not usually included in the menu and/or take some away.

Spice court , table no 10.
Jacob Rd, Mysore House/Achrol House Colony, Madrampur, Civil Lines, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302006
From the Land of hospitality, manvaar and aavbhagat gesture for your guests , in state capital Jaipur have experienced one of the most pathetic , down graded and unprofessional conduct from the entire staff right from the restaurant manager to the service staff.
Seems it is expected to finish your starters , couple of drinks and dinner altogether in 30 minutes only.
Almost in every 5 minutes , interventions were made by the entire team to place the orders and to finish the same and leave.
Seems the entire staff was eager to leave without showing any sign of service gesture and basic etiquettes of attending the guests.
Left the place without having the dinner .
Unforgettable and cheapest form of hospitality which will be remembered always.
Even a country side dhaba serves you better with utmost tenderness , service gesture and apnapan.

It's a beautiful property with both outdoors and indoor sitting. We chose to sit outside as the weather was perfect and there were no mosquitoes. There was a dance performance going on in the lawns.
The food was excellent,with chilli quotient being exactly right and that's why we could actually taste food instead of drinking gallons of water along.
The service is prompt and the staff is courteous and helpful.
Do try their keema baati and laal maas .
The prices are very reasonable too.

One of the best dine out experiences. What makes this place exceptional is the quality of their food and service. Yes they do take time to prepare the orders, but that's because they take great care to maintain taste and cook things really well. Am a fan of their Dal Makhani, which is better than any restaurant I've ever visited - including Bukhara and Peshawari! Let's just say, they make the whole menu work and score well all through. A special shoutout to Balraj Ji, the ever smiling and courteous Manager of Spice Court, who ensures a personalized experience for all visitors. Kudos!

Exceptional staff, surroundings and food.
We were wary of getting sick on our travels but then were sick of eating hotel restaurant food. Our tour guide recommended this restaurant.
The food was just wonderful, one of the best meals on our journeys. Treated to traditional dancer and musician.

Spice court, was a name that cropped up everytime we searched online or asked friends for places to try in jaipur.
Rightfully so, this is a must visit place to try traditional Rajasthano food.
The most recommended items are the kheema Bhatti ( this was supremely heavy for us to eat - 2 pieces of it almost 5 of us couldn't polish off) because we were also trying some other food.
The laal mass was excellent..with melt oft the bone meat and perfectly spiced..would recommend you to not miss this dish..mgoes great with the indian breads that they have on the menu.
The vegetarian gatte ke subju and kadi pokoda were also quite good.
Would recommend surely for an experience of this institution...
Prices
Kheema batti and Lal Maas were approximately 900+ each.

We reached at 10:30, the closing time but after some request they agreed to give us a table. My concern was for a gluten free meal which was very well taken care off. The couple (i guess the owners) offered us chicken curry and gatta curry. Both of them were very well made and tasted awesome. Special Thanks to the couple and the chef who made our day :)

We were made aware of this restaurant by a friend who strongly recommended the "Keema Baati" along with other local delicacies.
We ordered Keema Baati (2 pieces in one plate accompanied with a bowl of spicy gravy!) and Gatta curry. Both were top class and gave us a strong reason to visit again.
The restaurant has a spacious indoor and outdoor seating. We chose indoors as there was live music with dancing (local Rajasthani) and we wanted some peace and quiet.
The service was prompt, courteous and attentive.
The furniture and ambience could do with an upgrade as there is a "tired and jaded" look about it.

We were group of approx 15-20 peoples and went there for lunch . Good quality and services which we were expected was not up to the mark. Need to work more in terms of taste of food and services . We have been served tomato soup which was not hot as required, gulab jamun in desert was looking very old preparation. They have not offered finger bowls after finishing our lunch.
