Great place
I went to Spice Tree couple of weeks ago with my office colleagues. The ambiance was described in detail by the reviewer down below. We were sitting in the air-conditioned space which with its high ceiling gives the restaurant a very spacious feel. We wanted to sit on the outside next to the small fish pond but the heat wouldn't let us.
Let me get down to the food. We ordered for kebab plate (22 pieces of different meat kebabs, chicken and fish for most part of it) and batata chaap which totally rocked! That was by far one of the best veg starters i have had in quite sometime.
The main course included Smoked chicken masala and paneer tikka masala. The food was good. Good taste, fresh tender chicken and soft melt-in-the-mouth paneer made it all worth the visit.
We also ordered the pineapple juice and lassi. The lassi was freshly made it seems but not as thick as i like it to be, but good enough nonetheless.
The service was good too, accept for the part wherein they took a little more time to get the food or maybe we were just plain hungry and wanted to eat asap! While giving feedback, they were quick to ask us why we felt the way we felt about the restaurant and that really made my day. The guys really appreciated feedback and hopefully took it in the right spirit as well.
Finally, pricewise, definitely expensive, way over my budget.
Anyways here are the prices:
lassi 65
fresh lime water 55
batata chaap 115
Smoked chicken masala 220
paneer tikka masala 185
pineapple juice - 60
butter kulcha 40
nonveg kebab platter - 405
If your in Bandra, Spice Tree is one place you should definitely try out atleast once, you may fall in love with it :D
There was no reason why this place didn't deserve five-stars but for the prohibitive prices especially places in and around Bandra offer a similar experience at a cheaper price.

trusted food; non-vegie's delight and veggie's too
There used to be a quaint little chinese restaurant on hill road which served one of the better spicy-schzewan sauce, the one that i can distinctly remember for som reason....well, this place has now been replaced by spice tree!
I have confirmed this place time and again now (3 visits) and it has failed to disappoint me, yet!!
The restaurant offers a choice of open dining and closed dining both. You may sit amongst palm trees and a small fish pond in the open or sit staring at the same ambience within the confines of an air conditioner complete with glass walls on two sides.
A friendly staff, a friendly captain welcome you. Some of the mocktails that we ordered were brilliant (Sorry, i cannot recollect which ones)
On one occasion we feasted on the moderately priced non-veg kebab platter (20 pcs, Rs. 405/-) and a dry prawn starter. The prawns ghassi had a supremely flavoured gravy (red) with large prawns priced under Rs. 300/-. The appams that I ordered were a sorry state of affairs (very very badly made). But I let that pass in lieu of the otherwise magnificent food.
On another occasion, I had a paneer starter (around Rs. 110/-) and a half chicken tandoori (Rs. 175/-). They had mentioned that its a chef's special style of cooking and so they did deliver. It was richly marinated, right to the inside and coated on the outside with spices, done in butter and grilled to perfection. The chicken biryani was well done too but nothing to rave about (Rs. 180/-). The dal khichdi was redefining again!!....Have you ever realised that a stray incident of some particular very badly-made food item renders you wary of ordering the same dish again, be it at any place. So had been my story with the dal khichdi, until I encountered spice-tree to regain my faith in the same!!
A dinner for 4 with non-alcoholic drinks may strap you off Rs. 2000/- with a very fine and elegant ambience.

Lives up to its name!
I recently went to Spice Tree for dinner .. though i had been looking forward to it after the fab reviews i got from my friends. Ambient , intimate , a great place for conversation Spice tree is the perfect dinner place. Try the rotis - i love the butter naan and the junglee naan ! the sumptous kebab platter with an assortment of kebabs is a complete delight! The smoked chicken in traditonal indian spices is delectable .Surprisingly the pricing's just right .

Best place to grab a good meal on Hill Road
My long time favourite. Everything - the food, the ambience, the service is extremely good. It is a little bit on the expensive side. (Meals averaging 200-250 bucks for non veg) but if you're looking for cheap good food, Andora's is a stone's throw away :). Have had one instance of a moderately stale biryani being served - was swapped immediately once pointed out. They do an excellent squid/crab in butter garlic sauce. Not a vegetarian food freak myself but they're extremely good at those as well. Decent portions to boot.

Its wow !
After a long time i had been out for dinner and trust me i could not have picked up a better place.
The decore is good and relaxed, the outside seating very comfortable. They basically do a fantastic job with Fish as compared to any other meat.
Serive would easily fetch 9/10 and food would get the same. Its slightly expensive... but worth every penny.
Its a must visit if your looking at some great indian food.
