This is a no frills place Vegetarian restaurant serving at a super speed local delicacies. You have to mention to them if you do not want too much oil in your food.

Favorite Dish: We had Sarson ka saag (Mustard leaves gravy) makki ki roti (corn bread), dal tadka, dal makhni, jeera rice and also a paneer dish. All were yummy, only the jeera rice was a bit too oily.
They also serve desserts but we chose to eat it at the counter outside. The best part was that a good meal for 4 cost us only Rs. 375.

Here you can find a lavishing range of food items, all are prepared in traditional ingredients by best mughlai chef. Easily to reach as the restaurant is adjacent to road and parking space is also available.

Favorite Dish: The best items are Shahi Chicken Masala & Kabab. Both are prepared with fresh and fine ingredients. The taste is so amazing that you'll love to lick your fingers.

To begin with I kinda liked the location of 7 Spice. Inside a complex and hence its peaceful despite being in an overcrowded Alambagh market. Though a few may tend to disagree with me, but when it comes to dine out I always love to go to restaurants that are peaceful. Also the thing that goes in their favor is they are one of the very few real restaurants in the area. Aaryan is self service restaurant and obviously not a place to go dine out with family.
Food - Yummie. I give 10/10 when it comes to food.
Service- Service is kinda above average. Serves just right.
Overall a nice experience.

Favorite Dish: Chillie Chicken
Karhai Paneer
Both dishes are mouth watering
