Spice Bazaar

UNEXPECTED NON-​CHAIN FOOD in this trendy and developing area of Frisco.
We dropped into the Spice Bazaar today looking for something that wasn’t American chain food — not the easiest find in Frisco. We enjoyed shopping in this small but well-​stocked market area while we waited for our food, which came out hot and delicious!
We noted the disparity of reviews between Anglos and ethnic Indians (which concerned us, frankly) but we found each of the dishes we bought to be DELICIOUS!
We ordered Goat Korma, Saag Paneer, Chicken Biryani, and two kinds of tomato chutney, one with mango and one without.
Goat was tender and flavorful, in a deliciously spicy and aromatic gravy.
Saag paneer was spicier than expected, which I LOVED, but the kid who expected a lower to no level of heat HATED. MORE for me!
Everyone agreed the Chicken Biryani was delicious, and the raita that came with it provided a fresh and cooling counterpoint to the warm spices and roasted chicken.
I have sneaked the tomato chutney into all manner of dishes — I love it!
5 stars for food! We will be back!!!

Had some Samosa, mixed veg saag, chicken saag, goat korma, rice, and naan. I asked for spicy and they delivered. If I had to heavily critique, then I’d say the mixed veg saag could use a wider variety of vegetables besides peas and carrots, some roasted cauliflower or broccoli would have been nice.

Once again, I proved myself right.
if you are lazy, u dont get good food…
after identifying Indian Food closest to my house and trying to do it between 2 calls on a WFH day, i end up with this food from this store…
I end up buying a DUM EGG Biryani from this store, which tasted anything like a Biriyani or it looked like a DUM preparation.
this by far, the worst of the Biriyani I have ever tasted @ DFW area.
never again…
Lesson learnt, one more time…

Happy girl!!! I LOVE Indian food. It is truly my favorite kind of food, so it was such a treat to find this place. I can’t believe it is so close to my house, and I wasn’t even aware of it this whole time!
While I was standing in line (had already ordered but picked up some spices and naan in the grocery section) the woman in front of me told that their samosas were the best outside of India. I had actually been eyeing them, so I bought for everyone in my house to try them. Um, I ate them all. Before I even ate my meal. They are hands down the best samosa I have ever had.
I’m a condiment queen so sauces either make or break a place for me. They had the best raita I’ve had in more years than I can count. The mint chutney was really good, too. Only thing I wasn’t over the moon about was the tamarind sauce, but luckily I had bought some tamarind paste concentrate (CHEAP) and added some to the sauce.
The tandoori chicken is delicious! It has great flavor with lots of spice and was moist and tender like it should be. I highly recommend the tandoori.
I also got my usual — chicken tikka masala. I loved the flavor and the consistency of the sauce but felt like the chicken could have been a bit more tender if I’m being completely honest.
The only drawback was the rice that came with my chicken tikka masala. I’m pretty sure that another reviewer complained about it, and I can see why someone might not like it. It definitely isn’t basmati rice, and it is pretty darn bland. I eat mine with the other stuff and sauces so not a big deal to me.
Lastly, they don’t serve naan during the day on weekdays, BUT they have tasty naan in their freezer section that is ready to serve after only 2 minutes in the oven. I was actually very happy with this naan and am glad I bought several packages.
I HIGHLY recommend this place for amazing Indian food to go AND to fill up your spice rack!

We are a regular visitor to Spice Bazar and I love the samosas here, They have the best samosas in Plano Area.

The food was OK but it was kind of bland so. I just which there was more flavor in it but besides that the service was great and the people are very friendly.

Chicken biriyani was the worst I have ever had. It really had bad taste. Chicken curry was like water with no flavor and tiny overcooked pieces of chicken. Will never go back again.

So I went here to try and buy some rice paper. I know I know not the right area of food but I was desperate not to drive to hmart and this place was the closest thing Unilocal had for me. There was no rice paper but what they did have was a very friendly helpful staff. I ended up purchasing some deep fried onion/​spinach mix from the counter. It was perfect. It had a nice curry kick with a slight ginger ness. The crunch was just right. I’m in love and will be back to try all the foods. If they can make something so simply delicious what can they do with other things!!! Here take all my money

Have only ever tried their samosas, but they were really great samosas! Lots of flavor! I usually find that samosas tend to either be too oily or the filling is flavorless. Not the case with Spice Bazaar’s samosas!

Wasn’t blown away by the tikka masala. Thought it needed more flavor. They didn’t ask me for spice level either. However, they did customized my saag upon request. Great for Indian grocery shopping.

Highly recommend this place! Wonderful chicken Biriani, samosa and many more. You will get perfect sweets like kaju katli, shon papri, laddu. Price is very reasonable. Friendly service. It is a to-​go place. Totally worth it. Really good and quality food. Thank you!

Tried again last week. Consistent quality. Good decision to re-​visit. Will come again.

Oh my goodness, what an amazing meal! I had heard about this place for several months, and finally remembered to try it for lunch. There was one guy stocking shelves, and must have been someone in the back cooking (didn’t see them). When I walked in the door, I was greeted (yay, I’m not invisible!), and the smell of curry and other wonderfulness was in the air. I asked for suggestions, and ordered the tikka masala chicken, and a samosa.
Spice Bazaar doesn’t have tables that I could see, so I got it to go. I was home in a few minutes, and opened the containers. The man had carefully plastic-​wrapped them so as to not have them spill, wow, what a thoughtful thing!
I got out the samosa and two kinds of chutney (no clue… one was maybe a coconut base?), both were wonderful, but the samosa — wow. Just wow. Perfectly fried, super tasty and fresh, just wow. I’ve never had one so wonderful!
Then I went on to the main dish — again, just wonderful… thick sauce, spicy enough (I always hate when they tone it down for me, a white guy), I devoured it, and am still stuffed two hours later.
Waaay too much food for one person to eat, enough for two meals! Again, I’m just blown away by the service, the friendliness, the quality of the food. They were all amazing!

You get what you pay for. Chicken biryani for 6.99 $, Wow.
Its cooked with normal rice and not basmati rice. Pathetic flavor.
Chicken curry with no spices and gravy is full of water.
I would not go again.

Some people might not appreciate a place that is bodega-​ish, well you should be convinced you are getting authentic food if nothing else. I ordered some take out and had to buy a few more things after I saw the selection. Employees were very polite. I enjoyed the food, but going to get take out turns into a mini-​experience picking it up at the market.

Hidden gem, great home style food, I just bought a bunch and am eating it over a few days. Loved the Baghara baingan, choke masala, chicken curry (southern), and the idli sambar. Highly recommended on both quality of food and the value.

Small Indian market. Very tasty take food. Reasonable prices. Love the chicken #65. Garlic naan is a must for tiki masala.

Good fresh food. Very reasonably priced.
Only flip side this place is 100% take-​out. No dine-​in space.

My husband and I were passing through Frisco and decided to have a late lunch. We had a craving for Indian food, so thought we’d try out Spice Bazaar. The food is delicious. We each got the chicken tikka masala, total for both and some chapattis was about $ 15. It’s very fresh, spicy, just the right amount of heat, but what really stood out for me was the size of the portions (we split one serving and were satisfied) and the amount of chicken. It’s a gripe of mine how so often Indian restaurants skimp on the meat, but not in this case! Since it’s located in an Indian grocery store, we checked out the merchandise and I ended up with a basket of tea and spices for a lot less than it would cost in a regular grocery store. The food is take-​out only, so we drove to City Lake Park and had a picnic. I’ll definitely be back.

Great place to shop. Bottle water was $ 0.50 for one! Random thought but great spot to stop by after my workout and grab a bite to eat. They have spices you can’t get at the supermarket. Nice change of pace. Never crowded and everyone was helpful. Support your local grocers!
