Invicta Spice in Dartford

This used to be one of the best in Dartford, was our go to Indian takeaway, but the last 2x orders have been awful. Watered down sauces with little to no taste. Must have changed hands as I see they’re now also trying to sell burgers. Avoid at all costs.

We ordered onion bhajis but got samosas which was a little disappointing

First time from this restaurant and never again. Not authentic Indian at all. Chicken starters and main were drenched in burgundy coloured liquid. Bland and no hint of spices in starter. Mixed platter had two and half pieces of lamb and 1 small sheekh kebab. Biryani rice itself was good but chicken in the biryani was too dry. The curry accompanying biryani had zero salt, must have forgotten to put.

did not mind too much for being busy and late, but when food arrived the Biryani veg side curry had a little bit of potato and nothing else - all sauce - tried 3 times to ring to complain but no answer from phone.

Terrible, terrible food quality. The lamb was so tough and chewy you couldn't even cut through it with a steel knife, and the sauces were so bland I honestly couldn't taste any difference between the tikka masala and the korma. They were just different colours. Never again.

Absolutely disgusting. Food was hard, couldn’t even chew it. No flavour. Arrived cold. Late. Phoned due to order being late and they said they would include drinks…. we received one can of Pepsi.

Asked foyit not to be spicy and it came spicy the size of the food is small asked for extra korma sauce but didn't get it popdom we're all broken

Food says its been delivered on Just eat and when I called they advised they were running late and it was on its way 20 mins after the latest delivery time. They must have marked it as delivered so late times don't show on their profile. Its now 1 hour and 20 mins since I ordered and I'm still waiting!!!

Not impressed at all. My massala sauce did not taste like any other massala I've had before. There was so much water on my plate I had to drain it off constantly! The saag paneer was also very watery and just didn't taste great. The naan bread was chewy and flavourless.

No salt . No flavour . No taste . Why , more importantly, HOW is everything sweet ?

The food was OK, just a wee bit bland

No flavour, watery korma. It tasted like the naan was shop bought. Very disappointing

Very disappointed in our order, we always used to order from here & was always nice. Today’s order is utterly awful. Curries are watery not creamy, bland & the little sauce that isn’t watery has separated. The naan bread has been shop bought which is just a joke. The onion bhajis are really small & don’t have much flavour. Will never order from here again. Dire.

Luke warm, very bland no taste poor portions, onion bajees just a joke and popodoms terrible soggy not even crispy, complained they said they would send some out but didn’t arrive

Loads missing, driest chicken I’ve ever had, the naans I don’t know how they had the cheek to send them out, they were frozen ones shop bought !!!! 3 pieces of meat in the dish that did turn up ! Will never use them again

If I could give 0 stars I would! The most vile watery blandest madras and korma! Onion barjees dry and tasted days old! Nahn bread dry and shop brought Bombay potato hard and tasteless. No bottle of coke arrived that I ordered no popdoms salad or sauces as ordered. Freezing cold and the chicken… well that tasted off! The whole meal was not edible to the point I had to spit it straight out! I have never tasted an Indian quite like that slop! Tried calling severa times and surprise surprise NO ANSWER! Please do NOT order from here you would be Mad to waste your money! I may as well have just tossed £40 in the bin ! Absolutely SHOCKING!

Sauce was watery and lacked flavour very small portions and bread looked and tasted shop bought very disappointing

It was the worst curry I have ever had. One Nan was missing and the other one was not cooked. The curries were so thin it might as well been water. The rice was ok.

Very disappointed order was very late barely edible watery and missing items. Should have read the reviews beforehand will not be ordering from this restaurant again.

Extremely poor service as my delivery is now 2 hours late, I’m absolutely disgusted with this restaurant and this service

Over 2 hours late ! Phoned after a hour they said 10 mins turned out to be another 45 mins ! Food turned up and was cold and low quality ! Naan bread was a supermarket naan bread !!

Disappointing. Chicken madras instead of lamb madras. Chicken tikka masala instead of chicken korma. Papadoms missing. Mint sauce missing. No answer at restaurant. Very bland. Very disappointing

I’ve had better microwave dinners and not order from Invicta spice in Dartford

The absolute worst. Told food deliver would be 30 - 45 minutes. Arrived 2hrs 15 mins later. Half the items ordered were missing, no refund or care given by restaurant. Called them twice to be told its just leaving after 2 hours. Food cold, undercooked and quite disgusting sloppy mess. Avoid, there are so many better options locally. The worst ever Indian takeaway.

I ordered a take away this evening and waited untik 7pm for delivery when estimated 6:20pm.. The food was tasteless and very watery I will not be ordering from here again

Although the food was nice, it was delivered late and cold. Will think again before ordering from here.

1 hour 40 mins after I ordered, the food arrived. The korma tasted watered down, and the garlic naan had no garlic.

My order was incorrect and I didn’t get the popadoms which I ordered.

The food was disgusting to start it was 1 poppadom short but that didn't matter as they were supermarket bought. Chicken korai did not even resemble a korai, it had 6 pieces of chicken and very bland. Chicken ceylon same, 6 pieces of chicken, the sauce was very watery and also bland, supposed to have a coconut flavour that was missing. The rice was fine but overall absolutely disgusting. I would advise people to avoid this place like the plague.

Missing items and cold food. Avoid!

Meal was delivered cold, ordered lamb rogan josh was mainly tomato barely any lamb and the lamb that was there was so tough it couldn’t be eaten

Could have done with being a tad warmer but wasn't cold

passanda was excellent - everything else mediocre

Second try with this company. Food very poor. 1 part of the order wrong. Meat tough. Unable to eat. Only good thing was rice. Would not recommend to anyone.

Used to enjoy, however, after being out for delivery took 20 minutes for a 6 minute drive. All the food was cold and disappointing. Time to find a new Indian I think as even rectifying the problem is a pain.

When my order arrived, it was lukewarm so had to go into the oven for a while. Also, I had ordered a chicken tikka starter but didn't get the salad that goes with it. This was a shame because there haven't been any issues with previous orders from here.

Been using Invicta Spice for years, but I’m guessing it’s changed hands recently. The quality of the food was no where near their usual standard. Sauce was watery and tasteless with hardly any meat. Would steer clear until they get a better chef or management change. Bring back the old Invicta Spice.

Tasteless food, soggy naan bread and awful customer service! If I could give 0 stars I could, palmed me off on the phone saying he was too busy and would call tomorrow and he would refund me, still no call and no refund. Worst takeaway I have ever set eyes on and it was inedible. DO NOT EAT THIS RUBBISH

Disgusting food, awful customer service and they rate themselves on just eat to raise their rating, promised a call back and a refund, never gave one! Do not eat here!!!

Used this Indian for ages normally really nice but the last couple of times the foods been tasteless and cold

Items missing, food was cold & tasteless! Don’t know how this restaurant has such a high star rating, the food is shocking!

Food was warm,didn’t get all what was on the set menu,this time very poor

Not very spicy. Bland. Plus not very warm.

Really not great food, the korma and masala are basic meals and they were bland and way to peppery, didn’t taste how they were meant to at all. Bread was soggy and undercooked. Really disappointed

The food was cold and very tastless, sorry 😞

Food was late but if we had been updated I wouldn’t have minded. Unfortunately the rice was watery & the curries lacked flavour even with seasoning. The biryani & naan were tasty though. Thought we’d try a new place rather than our usual but wouldn’t order again.

Worst Indian food we’ve had in a while - all of the main dishes (4) were very watery and not much flavour. Onion bhajis were missing from the order.

Not as good as usual, sauces where watery and not much flavour. Bombay potatoes were still hard and very little flavour and pretty dry.

Sadly the potatoes and mushrooms were not cooked in the two separate dishes, very disappointing for partner.

Probably the worst Indian take away I have had in years. Food was not fully cooked, potatoes an onions were very crunchy,sauces thin and watery. I have been using Invicta spice for a long time but never again

Food was good , I had rang the restaurant they apologised and so did the driver for being late but hey they are allowed to get busy ! Thank you

Large portion of chips was tiny so was the garlic naan. Won’t be using again. Small portions

Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the chicken tikka masala balti meal. Very sour like eating lemon juice or vinegar. Had to leave the sauce. Sorry

Tandoori chicken was cold tasted like was few days old and warmed in Microwave it didn’t taste as it’s should be again king prawns wasn’t size I expect especially the prices I paid. So I’ll never order again Thank you for nothing

Lovely food. Good timing would deffo use again Thanks

Super restaurant, were out of something and so phoned me up to organise a substitute and they chucked in extras which was super nice of them. Brilliant price and portion sizes and super tasty. Will definitely order again :)

Really amazing food Tasty And will order again.

We all loved all the food, will definitely use again. Thank you

I have ordered from invicta more than 10 times and l don’t see myself ordering from any other Indian restaurant, why would l when they always deliver tasty and neat food

Food was disappointing. No flavour naan breads were bland.

Unfortunately what was once a great and reliable restaurant has gone down hill. Watery curry and korma has been creeping in over the last few orders but now seems the norm. Add to this week's missing poppadoms and over spiced and unbeatable potatoes, its a shame but is time to find another place for a curry.

Just missing one of the items from the set meal. Everything else was great

I wouldn’t order from here again, we got a text to say the food was on its way (we’re 10 mins away) then 30 minutes later still no food. I called the restaurant and they said the driver had just left, in total food was approx 30 mins late. The food was also watery and pretty tasteless, chicken wasn’t the best quality I didn’t feel either.

It's a shame this place has gone down hill korma was like water was no tast to the food please re fund me

Our usual Indian takeaway of choice. Usually decent amount of meat in our takeaway, now small amount (tiny chunks) more in a supermarket ping meal!

Took ages to turn up and wasn’t very hot on arrival. Ordered 8 poppadoms but only 4 turned up.

Just wish you used less onion, and cooked it more. Lots of crunchy onion spoils the food.

I have thrown this food in the bin and wasted my money. That was the worst meal ever. It was like water. It was sour. What have you done to it? I will never order from you again. Tried to call 20 times but you just don’t speak. I want a full refund. Absolutely disgusting!

Disappointed as the Korma and saag aloo were overly Spiced. Never had a spicy korma until now. However others that like spice enjoyed the food. Food was delivered well and was warm on arrival.

Wonderful food, served hot and Spicy

First time we've tried them. The korma was watered down and like soup making it tasteless. The aloo gobi didn't taste very nice. Naan was too thick - all went in the bin. Won't be ordering again

Sadly most of it went in the bin. Chicken in the starter was slimey Put me straight off. Curry was swimming in oil and not nice.

I ordered 4 meat samosa’s and got what I am guessing were vegetable. The Keema rice was very greasy and the portion so small…. Very very disappointed

Amazing Indian food. Generous portion size with great flavors. The foil container was filled to the brim with curry. I had half a container of curry sauce leftover for lunch the next day.

The food was a bit bland for me and very salty but some people might like that

Amazing lamb samosas and good sag paneer but awful Chicken tikka dhansak, the flavour of it was so disappointing, I couldn't eat it 😔

I called more than twenty times, but no one answered my phone when it was open. I think it's very dirty management

Always lovely and delivery always quick

Very accommodating, I asked for extra chilli as I’m a spice freak and they did!

Food was inedible I thought maybe just me as I don’t do food that’s got to much spice, my sister who I sent it too to try couldn’t even eat it! She eats spicy spicy food. No flavour food horrid. Will not order again

Belated Review, but food was exceptional as always! Top Marks for me 👍

The packaging was really Poor my food arrived squashed into 2 white plastic bags the food spoiled into itself..it arrived messy...the quality wasn't great and the rice had chilli..it tastes more like Chinese food. the food was hot and arrived on Time however I won't be Ordering again..

Food was cold asked for no spice in food kids couldn't eat it

Had delivery from here a few times. This time was probably the best Indian takeaway I've ever had. Great korma for the girls and my vindaloo was amazing. Great naans and bahjis and yoghurt raita. They even sent me a free bombay aloo! Will definitely only order from here in future (and its only a mile from my house!)

Very nice food good price nice portion

Food was bland, all dishes tasting the same The meat was as tough as rawhide. Went straight into the bin.

Ordered a chicken dunsuk and chicken Bhuna last night, both dishes was inedible. Dunsuk had no lentils and was so over spiced. And the Bhuna tasted exactly the same. Both so dark in colour. Popadoms was stale, absolute awful food. Over cooked rice, and the Bombay potato was bland no flavour. Sorry but I will never order again.

Not good. Naan's were stiff, jalfrezi had an odd colour and taste, vegetable dhal smelled as if it had gone off. First and last order.

Food wasn’t nice sorry, dunsuk and Bhuna was awful. Didn’t even taste like a dunsuk, didn’t eat it, sorry.

Adequate enough, but tikka quite salty and the keema naan was very bland.

Good flavours, food tastes more interesting and authentic compared to most other Indian takeaways. Excellent

Me and my husband enjoy a curry we decided to give these a go for the first time tonight and was not disappointed amazing food hot spicy and so much flavour will be ordering again and our new regular for a takeaway 👍

Would give 12 out of 6 if I could. Last time I ordered must have been an off night. Tonight reminded me once again why this is the best in town!

Normally rate this 5/5 but today was just meh. Chicken was too dry in the kids meal so my son had to eat something else. Poppadoms were ridiculously stale and went straight to the bin. A bit disappointing today.

Food quite bland, not seasoned well. Also quality of dishes not that great.

For some reason wasn’t as nice food wasn’t hot it was stone cold

Really enjoyed the meal as the food was hot and had good flavours. Literally the only thing that was not perfect was the naan bread. Thank you.

I moved to Dartford in March and tried a few Indians before finding Invicta spice. I have to say i have ordered from here a few times and the food is always delivered on time, hot and probably the best I have found in Dartford. We will be using these again and keeping these as my go to Indian thats for sure.

Great food, great flavours. I will definitely order again, this will definitely be my new goto Indian cuisine takeaway. I also like the fact they put things in foil containers to heat in the oven the next day because I always order to much and I don’t want/ need a microwave. Very punctual delivery.

Have used this restaurant quite a few times as always liked it but this time the food tasted horrible. Ordered chicken korma and chicken tikka masala and they both gone in the bin as taste funny and chicken tastes off. The poppadoms were the best bit.
