Finally got there for the first time, with some out-of-towners. As everyone says, it's a real nice space. Hopping bar (on Friday night anyway). We did the tasting menu, $45 for "10 courses, five tastes", whatever the five tastes meant (sweet/spicy/...?).
I was VERY impressed with the food. Many of the specialties are on the tasting menu, and several of them were spectacular. I think the restaurant was hot so many years ago that people forget why. It was one of my better meals in NYC in the past year, and that is saying something. Samosas were great, fish was excellent, shaved tuna, all of it was worth a taste. And quantities weren't skimpy, was a hell of a deal we thought.
Gewurtz Sangria rocked as well, had 2 pitchers. If you haven't been yet, it's an easy reservation, and well worth finally getting to.

I tend to agree with the supporters of Spice Market. We went recently just because we needed something to eat and they had space. We had heard the less than stellar comments but gave it a try because, like I said, we really needed to eat. We were pleasantly surprized and had a hard time figuring out what all the negative comments were based on.
