Essence N spice

“This place is just walkable from the Bronx Lebanon Hospital. Food is very good. You will get Indian flavors for the best price in the area. Their samosa with mint chutney is awesome. But the must try item is their Special Chicken Biryani. The tender pieces will melt in your mouth. Wonderful taste with lots of nuts and spices. Unlike any nearby Indian restaurants they provide authentic raita with Biryani which is not mixed with mayo or ranches. Their traditional dum biryani is on a little spicier side. Those who are the fans of spicier version can opt for Dum Biryani. I tried their jeera rice and dal as well. They were all decent in taste. Don't miss their gulab jamun. They are available in DoorDash and GrubHub. Highly Recommended.”

“Ordered the special chicken boneless biryanis and it tasted just like the popular restaurants in Hyderabad. The owner also sent us complimentary dates and gulab jamun along with salad, raita and saalan on the side. Rice was well cooked, spices were flavorful and portions are definitely generous. This is hands down the best spot in Bronx if you're craving authentic hyderabadi food. Highly recommend it!”

“Absolutely loved the food here! Everything was super delicious and full of authentic flavors. The EssencenSpice Special Boneless Chicken Biryani is a must-try -- perfectly cooked, aromatic, and packed with taste. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving amazing Indian food.”
