    Truly Delightful Experience at Deccan Spice Lounge. I recently had the pleasure of spending some time in the lounge room at Deccan Spice , and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance of the room is elegant and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The two large televisions add a modern touch, allowing guests to enjoy entertainment while sipping on expertly crafted drinks.. The service was outstanding, with Sagar being particularly attentive and ensuring that all our needs were met with a smile. His promptness and professionalism really enhanced our visit.. The food was absolutely delicious, a testament to the high standards upheld by the restaurant. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, making the entire experience even more memorable. Overall, the lounge room at Deccan Spice provides a perfect combination of comfort, quality, and service. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to enjoy food, drinks, and good company.

    We’ve loved the food, the atmosphere and the overall experience every time we’ve dined at Meximodo! The Street Corn app is a must try! I love that it’s served off the cob, with all the trimmings and ready for you to scoop up all the goodness. I’ve had the pollo con mole, the enchiladas with steak and the shrimp tacos the various times we’ve dined here and they’ve all been phenomenal! Always have to finish off with an order of churros! I haven’t gotten a chance to attend a tasting event YET, but I sent friends to one, and they had such a great time! The atmosphere in the restaurant is great - it’s vibrant, lively and decorated superbly! The tequila wall, with some tequilas only reachable by the accompanying library-ladder, is a great focal point and really brings together the whole place. Be prepared for this place to be BUSY on any given night and deff make a reservation even if you think you won’t need it. We just so happened to be celebrating two different birthdays the past two Tuesdays and I was deff glad I made those reservations because we would’ve been waiting a tad. If I had one minor suggestion/comment (not complaint, per se) it would be to consider smaller dinnerware and serveware or bigger tables because as beautiful as the stoneware flat plates are they exceed the footprint of the table when you’re served dinner and still got apps you’re working on, at least at the 4-tops. You end up being a bit busy playing Tetris to try and make everything fit comfortably.

    I took my team out to Luciano’s for an end of year celebration lunch! We sat in the room with the bar and we had an excellent meal that was both high quality and not rushed. The noise level in the room was very good and we did not have trouble getting understanding the conversation. Our group started with appetizers fried calamari and burrata with tomatoes and peppers. This was followed with entrees of the halibut from the main menu, veal milanese with greens and veal franchise with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Everyone enjoyed the entrees and we remarked that the portions were generous. Our server was professional and attentive and offered our choice of how fast we wanted our entrees to be served after the appetizers. We had plenty of time to talk and have a good time! Thank you to the team at Luciano’s.

    We live in Staten Island which has so many Italian restaurants but our favorite is Mulberry Street in Woodbridge. Chef Paul makes so many excellent dishes. Some of our favorites are Beef Bolognese, Veal Sorrrentino & Shrimp Parm (not on the menu but he will make it). Best app is the mussels in a cream wine sauce and best dessert is his pistachio cheesecake. Reasonably priced food and wines. Great vibe with suttle dinner appropriate music in the background.
