I thought I had seen every cheesy masterpiece New York City had to offer, but this place completely reset my expectations. When I heard about an Indian spot packing their bread with enough cheese to rival a pizza, I knew I had to run over immediately.
I stopped into Spice Symphony in New York City, and what I witnessed was pure culinary magic.
The Ultimate Cheese Load
They do not hold back here. They start with fresh naan dough and jam pack it with a massive, healthy amount of shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro. They fold it all up like a giant dumpling, smack it down, and roll it out smoothly.
Then it goes straight into their flaming hot tandoor oven. Watching it bake against the clay wall is hypnotic. It comes out blistered, golden, and steaming hot.
They brush the crisp crust with fresh melted butter and slice it right down the middle. Look at that pull. The melted cheddar strings out endlessly in a beautiful cheesy mountain. It is rich, warm, and insanely soft on the inside while maintaining that classic tandoor crunch on the outside.
The Butter Chicken Dip
Eating this cheesy naan on its own is already an incredible experience. But pairing it with their menu star takes things over the edge.
We recommend pairing that molten cheese naan directly with their super popular butter chicken. The curry arrives hot, rich, creamy, and drenched in a signature white drizzle.
I scooped a giant piece of tender chicken and thick, bright orange sauce right onto a slice of the warm cheesy bread. The combination of savory melted cheddar, hot garlic butter, and smooth creamy spice hits every single taste bud at once. It is heavy, comforting, and absolutely packed with bold flavor.
The result? Pure bliss. Who is hungry?
