About Spice Social
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
I’ve been a regular at Spice Social in downtown Fullerton for a while now, and it’s become my go-to for flavorful Indian cuisine. Located at 138 W Commonwealth Ave, the vibe is lively with a modern interior, a bar area, and space for groups—it’s great for social gatherings, whether it’s a casual meetup or a small party. The outdoor patio adds to the options, though it can get noisy inside during peak times. The staff is friendly and attentive; they always remember my order, which makes the experience feel personal. I always get the Ludhiyana Da Special Chicken (a creamy chicken korma with herb sauce)—it’s rich, comforting, and perfectly spiced without being overwhelming. Because this food item isn’t on any other Indian restaurants’ menus, I give this place 5 stars. Portions are generous, and it pairs great with garlic naan or basmati rice. Other favorites include the lamb biryani, paneer tikka masala, and innovative items like butter chicken poutine. They’ve got solid vegetarian options too, like saag paneer, and drinks such as mango lassis or spicy cocktails to round it out. Entrees run around $18-20, with extras adding up, but it’s worth it for the quality.
My daughter and I wanted to come here for a quick dinner craving for some Indian food. I’m glad that we found this place because the food was absolutely delicious and let me tell you about the portions. The portions are very generous so expect to have a lot of leftovers if you’re a small eater like me lol the Service was exceptional and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Very beautiful place not only to spend some time but grab some delicious Indian food. I highly recommend this place. I’m definitely would go for more.
We visited Spice Social for lunch with coworkers. The food quality was average and didn’t quite meet our expectations. Portion sizes were on the smaller side. Prices were fair and reasonable. Service was also average — nothing particularly memorable. Overall, it was a decent but unremarkable experience.
Excellent indian restaurant. We are a big party of 18 folks that dropped on a non weekend day. They were very gracious to host us, though we came in at an odd hour. We tried Manny items, as you can tell from the attached pictures. We liked each and every one of the items we tried. Enjoyed the food, the wonderful service and the ambience very much. The fried rice is a little salty and that's the only lowest point out of all the dishes. Avacado Bhel is about average and made it a little better by adding sweet chutney. We loved the Jalapeno Kulcha and reordered but that didn't come the way we asked. I guess the time of the day and the rush made it that way. The chicken dishes tasted good but apparently felt undercooked - as told by others in my party. Overall we enjoyed the food here.
Honestly, food was great. 10/10. though i went here and i saw 2-3 roaches running around as I finished eating and I have to dock it down for that, it didn’t even look like roaches that would’ve came from outside.it worries me for the store’s cleaniness. I guess also have a reservation if you go? Even though the place was empty, they still asked for a reservation upfront
