Palace Spice in Croydon

Always a pleasure with Palace Spice. I love you guys so much!

Absolutely gorgeous meal delivered quickly by a friendly guy

I asked for extra fresh chilli in my curry. No chilli. I asked for my delivery to be at 8.30pm it was 30 mins early.

Food was delivered late and was delivered cold and the poppadoms were missing, terrible service, we make a regular large order with this restaurant and it would seem familiarity breeds contempt, time to take our business elsewhere.

The food was lukewarm when it arrived. On tracking it was out for delivery for @30 mins We live just over a mile away from the restaurant . Everything had to be heated before eating .

Este es un gran restaurante "indio" local con buena calidad, comida bien presentada. Cada plato era diferente, muy sabroso y auténtico.

Very good food - authentic flavours. Lovely atmosphere and service. Would stronglyrecommend.

I did ask for extra fresh chilli in my curry but it arrived with none. A bit disappointing as I am a regular customer

First family visit, cannot recommend highly enough, everything was excellent Superb welcome from lovely staff, each course was fresh and delicious, Thank you, we can't wait to visit again

Friendly and helpful staff Cramped space Small portions Quite expensive (KP Puree) £8.25 and small water £4.50 Prawn puree was fairly bland.

Our first time dining here. From the start, everything was excellent. Food was quick, well presented and most importantly - TASTY. Service was great; friendly and welcoming. I'd recommend the onion bahji, lamb tikka and chicken satkara. Will definitely be returning.

Absolutely delicious. Second time ordering from here after it was recommended on Crystal Palace local page. Did not disappoint. Food had flavour , the meat was clean .. highly recommend 💫

Had the best Indian food we had in a long time! We went for the bengal chicken curry and the lamb ghost mirshat along with the peshwari naan and rice. DELICIOUS. My favourite was the bengal chicken. The service was great, really comfy seats - will definitely be regulars here as well as take away

First time ordering nice food and hot will be ordering again soon.

Wrong order turned up. Driver came to collect and then went back to restaurant to get our order. When finally arrived it was cold. The curry is also really oily and greasy. Not sure i’d order again unfortunately.

Always love the food but today we saw a change in taste so not sure if they changed chefs chicken methi I wouldn’t order again lacked taste but I always love this place today was a off day for them

First time ordering from this Indian. lovely lamb bhuna and the chilli naan had a good kick to it.

Overall decent, but charging £1 for 1 (one) burnt poppadom is outrageous

Very bland for a curry. Long delivery time.

The contents - chicken/sauce/veg curry/rice - were barely warm. The chicken was tough and almost inedible. The Korma sauce was tasteless. The rice was not plain! The veg curry lacked substance, and was very bland. A very disappointing meal.

Chicken overdone and dry, onion bhaji not crispy and it's 85p for a single poppadom....

Always top dollar in here so much so we travel from South Wales to same this cuisine

The most authentic curry house in Crystal Palace by a mile!

Good food however the chicken was tough in all dishes

Excellent tasting food, great service,would highly recommend

Tasty food. Would recommend every time.

Really delicious food and the team / service there is 10/10. We will be back!

Absolutely delicious, with excellent service. Thanks guys! What a lovely meal out

my curry was spilled in my delivery bag so only had a little bit of curry as it was mainly in the bag

Food was amazing, service was even better. Bit pricey but honestly worth the money. Quickly got a table after walking in off the street. Will definitely be going back. The flavours are out this world.

All food was hot, grate portions and lovely flavours all three curries, rice and sides. Will defently use them again.

Amazing food, best Indian around, been going for years. Highly recommend you visit. Lovely manager (Malik) who always is genuinely happy to see you. One of my favourite dishes is the garlic trout Buna, and the lamb dansak. Enjoy

¡NO decepcionó! He querido comer aquí por un tiempo. Muchos elogios locales positivos. Bueno, esta noche fue la noche y fue encantador. Es un restaurante pequeño pero la comida y los sabores son poderosos. El servicio fue rápido y amable, la comida era rápida pero fresca. Todo estaba muy sabroso. Tenía el pollo tandoori que era jugoso y sabroso. El Peshwari Naan era esponjoso y dulce. El Mango Lassi delicioso. Mi esposo se comió TODA su comida (estaba totalmente relleno) y su queja fue que le gustó tanto que se lo comió todo y ahora no le quedan sobras para llevar a casa para el almuerzo de mañana! Lol. Me llevé una bolsa de perro a casa, pero no duró mucho, ya que los adolescentes de la casa la demolieron antes de que llegara a la nevera.

Good portion where ingredients was fresh & tasty.

Great food and service. The staff were very happy and friendly which made the experience even better

We had a great curry last night, proper traditional local curry house, the best we’ve tried so far in Crystal Palace. Will be returning.

Beautiful Indian.. Not gonna lie being Indian my self and havin a Gujurati African Indian mother God and a FULLY punjabi hindu Queen as a indian food connoisseur in my life I know the standards. This place gets a 10/10. Speak to Riyaz

Comida no planificada, echa un vistazo a TripAdvisor, le gustaron las otras opiniones y le dio una oportunidad. Soy de Midlands y Birmingham siendo la capital del curry del Reino Unido, así que he probado muchos curry house. ¿Y qué hay de Palace Spice? Un restaurante muy pequeño, tal vez tan pocos asientos, que dijo que estaba muy limpio y bien presentado. Personal inteligente y eficiente. La comida era buena y abundante, aunque se podría decir que he tenido mejor, tenía un Mancurian que era bastante soso que no es lo que un Mancurian debe ser. Mi pareja tiene langostinos reales y la suegra tenía un Pasander. Estaban contentos con la comida. Precio... promedio y justo basado en el tamaño de la porción.

We adore Palace Spice and Manik makes the visit extra special 😍 food is amazing too.

A fantastic Indian restaurant that’s great value for money whilst serving the best Ingredients and really tasty food. The staff are awesome and couldn’t do more to help. It’s definitely my favourite Indian restaurant in the area and couldn’t recommend it more!

the onions bhajis were reheated not fresh, samosas were not homemade samosa pastry but a type of filo, BUT all other things, like curries and naan were good.

Me and my friend stumbled upon the place, as we were just passing through the area, although we ordered the usual rice and vegetables as well as a nan bread we decided to go for meat dishes which we had never heard of so therefor never tried before and we were not disappointed in fact sll the food put before us was cooked to perfection.

I love this restaurant. The food is the best in the area. Always tasty and fresh

Very tasty food as always. Great portions. A little late but was informed beforehand so not concerned.

I was craving indian so i went in personally and ordered some food. the service was really good i did not have to wait too long for my order. Moving on to the food, the food was immaculate it just hit the spot will defo order from them again.

Collected a delicious curry to eat at home, alongside some starters and popadoms. Best curry I’d had in a while. Very tasty!

Service was above and beyond. If you want good food that is reliably good every time, and you want service with a smile. Come here. The owner is a really nice guy and it's good to see this place thriving again. Welcome back.

Clean restaurant which of course is reassuring. Good portions of food that is high quality. Nice atmosphere within the restaurant.

The food was excellent, I got the perfect recommendation of the 'Bhuna' which was delicious and the customer service was really friendly. It's my new local.

Highly recommend this restaurant, Attentive & friendly staff, excellent Food 👌

The order arrived after 75 minutes, the delivery person was rude and on the phone. Did not acknowledge the wait. Some items were cold.

Very very good korma. Would have liked a smidge more sauce

By far the best restaurant in Crystal Palace! The food is incredible - head and shoulders above your average Indian Restaurant. The owner and staff are really lovely guys who deliver great service. I can't recommend this enough. Absolute must try for any one in the area.

Really excellent food and great staff, all at a reasonable price. 5/5

Tasty food, decent price, thanks.

Great food. Probably the best. Service is special. Lovely owner. If you’re in town then go visit. You’ll not be disappointed 👍

They r always a hit, this now my no 1 Indian takeaway, EVERYTHING is soooooo fresh and full of flavor the meat is so tender no cheap meat here 👌🏾👌🏾🍖💯💯🖤🖤🖤 I always ask for extra garlic in everything and most takeaways don't always do it but these guys r the best they do it for me, any adjustments to ur food they take it in to account!!!! U will not be disappointed with this food! My FAVOURITE 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Went for NY eve and had a wonderful time. Tasty food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend, especially thali!

Not the best on flavours tonight usually it's really.nice but a bit dissatisfied tonight unfortunately 😕

The best curry house in Crystal Palace. It was delicious as it always has been

A friendly welcome, personable service, comfortable environment and really top-quality food put the Palace Spice right up there among the finest Indian restaurants in London.

Lovely food great taste will definitely be ordering from you again

Great food choices, friendly staff service and always deliver on time for take away services 👍

Very personable service. Fantastic food. The owner really gives 110% effort. Well worth the visit. He made our night amazing with our friends.

Immaculate service! Great addition to the local community. Food was fantastic and the manager made us feel very welcome. Must visit. Thank you for a great night.

Really tasty and good value for money

Really wanted to like this after the reviews promised finally a good Indian local, but was left terribly disappointed with my chicken tikka. Overly sweet, no flavour whatsoever and just not nice.

The most delicious dinner for two. Excellent service and extensive menu. Can’t fault, would recommended to anyone in the area for dining in or takeaway. Palace special prawn dish 10/10

Great place . So glad out community palace spice is back . Food is brilliant as usual atmosphere was awesome .

I love palace spice. Been eating their curry for over 10 years. High quality curry ! Ordered Chicken sag and rogan josh. Delicious as always . Glad you're back ! :).

All the food was very mild with very little spice or heat. I know they cater for local tastes but if you order curry you should expect some heat and flavour.

Phenomenal, as always! Our favourite Indian restaurant, hands down. And the dahl is the closest to my Nana’s I’ve ever tasted. This is probably our 100th takeaway from Palace Spice and there will be many more.

Very tasty food, all delivered on time and hot. Would definitely use again.

Excellent experience, easily the best Indian in the area, thanks very much guys!

10/10 for the food absolutely beautiful never been was first time and deffo going to be my local staff couldn’t do enough for you couldn’t fault anything deffo recommend you won’t be disappointed

Arrived 20-25 mins late. Had to reheat everything ☹️

What a delight!! When we first arrived the restaurant was empty with only one other diner. By the time we left the restaurant was full and having spoken to a couple of the other diners realised that there were quite a few regulars there! We were acknowledged and greeting warmly and a drinks order was taken. Shortly thereafter we ordered our starters and they arrived promptly and were delicious. Our mains arrived shortly after we finished our starters and again, were very tasty and full of flavour. Service was discreet but also attentive and prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place and will return again. Really lovely experience. Great staff and lovely Indian redgional food.

Nice and tasty meal. I requested for a very spicy chicken sauce as an African and it met and even exceeded my expectations. I will recommend it for everyone. Excellent service and price

Too sweet, low quality ingredients

Excellent restaurant and probably the best Garlic Naan we’ve eaten in London!

Lovely food, really friendly delivery guy.

Where can I start with this amazing place. We have been waiting for years after the fire incident. Words cannot describe how happy we are to see Manik back up and running after such a devastating tragedy. Have been visiting palace spice since I was 10 years old and now my children are enjoying with me. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ordered takeaway and it was all so delicious! We had seen the hype on Crystal Palace Local Facebook group and we will not be ordering from anywhere else now. The saag paneer is my favourite. Very creamy and again delicious. Palace Spice Special Chingri was very tasty I would say it is a must try if you like a little spice and king prawns.

Glad you are back guys, I haven’t had Indian food since your hiatus. Best Indian in London 🤤! A family fav!

The best Indian restaurant I've ever been to! I'm so happy to see them open again. I usual only order takeaways from here but the moment I heard they had reopened I had to book a table for myself and my family.

Gorgeous food. Missed them when they were closed. Came back even better. Only snag need better containers especially for meat dishes as half of the sauce ends up in the carrier bag.

The staff were helpful - food was ok, but it was lukewarm, and the portions seemed very small. We had to ask for the dessert menu, then there was only one dessert available.

The best curry in Crystal Palace.

Underwhelming unfortunately. Great delivery service

The food is good but the proportion is extremely small. I was very disappointed with the serving size. Opted for this Resturant for my birthday as I have ordered before but the food was just barely enough for a meal- there was nothing to go back to and eat later in the evening. Also, I normally get complementary veg curry which helps if the main is dry- like it was yesterday. This did not come with the meal. And one small portion of salad was served in a plastic bag- even though it should have b

We ordered a takeaway from here to be delivered to the Crystal Palace Camp Site. They delivered within 30mins and its safe to say it was one of the best Indian I have ever had. I had the Bengal Chicken, but had a Madras spice level, keema rice and Chilli naan. My 10 year old had a Chicken Tikka Masala, pilau rice and garlic naan. Hands down amazing and even called them to say thank you on behalf of my son and I 👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If your a curry connoisseur And appreciate fine Indian cuisine to the maximum You needn’t look or venture any further than palace spice The food is phenomenal and on point without fail every time As is the customer service and delivery The man to ask after or go to is ash an absolute legend 👌🏻 From your friend and REGULAR customer PHALL BOY NORWOOD ROAD 👌🏻👍🏻✌🏻🙏🏻

First up drink order wrong and then main meals come scatterd even tho we ordered together i.e byriani came with veg curry but 10 mins later. Food was ok.. also the rose is echo falls dispite what the menu reads as we asked to see the bottle. Not great

Great Indian restaurant for late night curry. Super friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food and prompt service. Great menu options and reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend.

We were walking in the street and saw this restaurant so decided to give it a try. The team is extremely nice and very efficient, the service was quick and the food was absolutely delicious. 12/10, nothing to say apart from fabulous. We had papadam, tandoori lamb (gorgeous) and king prawns with daal. We will definitely come back! 😍

UPDATE four years later to say it’s still as phenomenal as ever. The best Indian restaurant in London! The best tarka dahl in London! It comes close to my Nana’s recipe, which is a huge compliment. We don’t go anywhere else for our Indian takeaway now; no where compares. Plus, the guys who work there are really lovely. My husband’s favourite is the Tikka Jalfrezi and Bengal Chicken, and I love the veggie dishes.

Hi I am leaving a HONEST review because leaving 5 stars for every establishment everywhere in London regardless if its 5 stars is misleading and tbh London needs to do better with standards of food seriously. I believe the majority of London Indian restaraunt needs to study flavours and I am constantly dissapointed at the standard of a vindaloo in London. It's generally a tomato paste with chicken and chilli. That is not a vindaloo. Vindaloo has a rich depth of flavour with cardamon and all spice and is aromatic. Don't give reviews saying the vindaloo was amazing when it is not. My brother has worked on regent Street as a chef and ran a vegetarian establishment in shoreditch and worked in the forbidden city Beijing. this is ok at best but it was oily and missing depth. I cannot understand where real standards have gone to leave these 5 star reviews. The best vindaloo I have found thus far is from gurkhas. And that isn't even 5 star but finding a real vindaloo here is like finding a needle in a haystack. Thankyou for the free oily onion bharjis. This is not 5 stars. I feel like Gordon Ramsey telling Americans to stop being delusional. Some people have clearly not eaten a good curry before to keep dishing out 5 stars in London when it's 2.5 at best. Make London great again and stop dishing out 5 stars when it's not.

Our first time at Palace Spice, had a lovely meal, friendly staff and great service.

The tandoori chicken was nice but the butter chicken was so sweet, butter chicken isn't meant to be sweet. It's supposed to be buttery and mildly spicy.

Excellent food.Very tasty.Glad that you’re back in business!
