What people say, in short
Spice Symphony draws recommendations across its New York outlets, including Lexington Avenue. Indo-Chinese cooking is the recurring draw, with one visitor describing an excellent meal and another reporting years of orders and visits. Praise for group dining specifically names 50th Street rather than Lexington Avenue. Dissent includes disappointing Indo-Chinese food, overpriced drinks, and an order that remained too hot despite a request for no heat.
