Planet Spice in Croydon

Amazing food and waiter! Real looked after us really well, ensured we had everything we needed! Would definitely be coming back here!

Lovely food, thank you to Real for his amazing customer service! :)

Fantastic, much better than it used to be

Cocktails and mocktails are always tasty and a nice flavour, such a nice place to be around Easter.

Awful Food! Now very suspicious of most reviews (especially the 4x 5 star reviews after mine all published on the same day and all praising Spon,Spondon,Spandan - despicable!) very disappointed with our visit, even with 50% off Fork deal. Food was AWFUL and only 5 dine in tables total on a Saturday night says it all. Service was ok but sporadic, v delayed and needed many reminders. Everything was VERY bland and tasteless, lacking in spice and heat even after asking for chef spice and heat not western spice and heat. Specified no coriander in anything and yet 75% of dishes came with coriander. Pakoras were in a strange unseasoned thick puffy dough like batter, utterly tasteless with no spices and the inside containing some bland tasteless meat trying to resemble chicken. Tarka dhall, bland tasteless mush with no tarka and as a bonus coriander was mixed in and garnished on top. Curries appear to use the same bland food coloured base sauce with tasteless chewy meat. Mixed grill - dry, chewy, bland, loads of food colouring and covered in coriander. Lamb shank, disgusting grey boiled in bag look, no marination, slimey texture and covered in same bland base sauce, a disgrace to lamb shanks, try a good Nihari for proper lamb shank. Didn’t want to write this but felt needed to as a warning to others hard earned wallets - esp now after being more convinced most reviews here are not genuine! Regret I ever found this restaurant and have reported to Google! Suggest try any of the curries / nihari at anywhere in Tooting / Southall like Watan, Dawat, Lahore Karahi, Mirch Masala, Dishoom, Brigadiers, Trishna etc for true benchmarks and honest reviews from REAL diners!

It was a lovely meal as always. Real was very kind and friendly.

Authentic Indian food. Our server Spondon was really welcoming.

We recently visited Planet Spice for dinner, the food was good and the ambience was cosy. Last but not the least, had an excellent and cordial service from Mr. Spandan.

Very nice authentic Indian curries. Lamb chop was especially good! Spandan was really kind to serve us well, will definitely visit again.

The food was excellent and the service was very good. We arrived very late and the staff were ver accommodating. I would recommend.

Delicious food and great friendly service by Spon. Thanks a lot.

Called ahead to get takeaway and was ready for pickup in 15 mins, lovely staff as well. Great food- had the Goan Fish Curry, Chicken Korma, Plain naan, Peshawari naan and Pilau rice to share. Plenty of food and great value.

Spon and rel did a good job. Will return

The meal at this Indian restaurant was fantastic! The lamb chops were perfectly seasoned and tender, packed with rich, smoky flavors. The chicken tikka masala had a creamy, well-balanced sauce with just the right amount of spice. The mixed grill was a highlight—juicy, well-marinated, and full of variety. The coconut rice added a subtle sweetness that paired beautifully with the mains, and the cheese naan was warm, fluffy, and indulgently cheesy. Great food, great atmosphere—definitely a place worth revisiting!

The food is delicious, my personal favourite is the butter chicken! The service is always great. Spon took amazing care of us very, accommodating! Thanks for a lovely night.

Spon was our server for the evening. He was very polite, professional and very patient. He made sure that we had everything we needed. He gave us a lovely service, I recommend coming here for the lovely good and great service, especially from Spon.

Amazing food and incredible service

Food was delicious and full of flavour and staff members were very friendly and attentive and I will definitely be coming here again

We had a waitress called Spon and Ral and what can I say they made us feel really welcome. Apon the service, atmosphere and food which was outstanding.

Excellent food and service, we will come again

We visited on opening night many years ago and they have never dropped their standards. All the basic favourites on the menu plus more exotic choices that are always mouthwatering. Not the cheapest but that is a good thing. Reassuring price and you always get what you have paid for. Still going back after all these years. For a family that always vote with their feet it’s the biggest compliment I could give.

Why no reviews posted since 2014? It seems strange that there have been no reviews for so long. Those that have been posted are not very good!

The food was excellent and waiters were very friendly

Great and tasty food, great service and very friendly people. Looking forward to returning!

Great restaurant, great food with such friendly staff

Amazing service, food was nice and freshly made. Will definitely be coming back again

Another great Sunday buffet, piping hot good and very tasty, the staff are very attentive

The food was fantastic I really recommend everybody to try the Indian summer drink and the nanns were outstanding.This is the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to.

Perfect food and service - special thanks to spon and real for their kind help Will definitely come again

Our servers Spon and Real were so awesome and made our dining experience amazing. We look forward to our next meal at planet spice.

Very nice food. Great prices And restaurant is nice

Lovely Ambience - Great cuisine and service.Spon and Real offered a great efficient and friendly service. Best Indian Restaurant in Selsdon / Forestdale in Croydon

Excellent food and service by Spon and Real the best in the area

Our waiter Spon was wonderful. Great food and they even custom made a dish for us that wasn't on the menu. Would highly recommend!

My family and myself have been using planet spice for many years. The food is excellent as is the staff. Will be using for many years to come

Spon and Real are the best people you will ever meet and the FOOD IS AMAZING!!!!!

Food was amazing and the service was excellent

Excellent restaurant with great very friendly staff. Food very good along with their cocktails. Will definitely be visiting again

Very helpful and pleasant staff, the food was great an good atmosphere.

Excellent food and service from Real, who was very attentive. Well worth a visit - it never disappoints.

Beautiful restaurant and very friendly waiter

Wonderful atmosphere and food for new years day meal. Thank you planet spice team

Ordered a delivery and was told it would be half an hour, finally turned up 1 and 1/2 hours later. Food was bland and seemed like it was watered down. This used to be my favourite curry house but will never be using again. I've had better curries out of a jar 😡

Absolutely incredible food, we loved everything we ordered. Best of all, Spon was an excellent and attentive host. Will definitely be returning.

Wonderful food and service. New Year's day meal. Thank you Planet Spice Team!

Great service and Real (our waiter) went above and beyond

Fantastic food and service from Real. Many thanks for a great evening.

Great food and great service. Real was a brilliant host!

My favourite curry! Real is very helpful

Great food and very friendly staff (Spon) all at reasonable prices.

Soon served us and was very polite, helpful and efficient will be back again soon thank you

Spon was a fantastic waiter. He was very happy and energetic. The food was great. The Naga managed to be very spicy and delicious at the same time.

Thank you to Sal for his excellent service.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Sal ensured we had the correct food by checking our order and making sure everything was spot on. Excellent

Great meal and great price for Christmas day We will certainly be back Real and sal were great waiters very attentive.

Great service and amazing staff!

We had Sal as our waiter and he made us feel very welcome. He was friendly and attentive and made our lunch on Christmas day a pleasant-experience for us.

come here every christmas eve with my family, super friendly staff, amazing food! 10/10

Fantastic food and great service from Real and the team

Annual Christmas Eve family meal. As always food was delicious - service very friendly and polite very clean

Tonight the food was truly awful, all the dishes were cold , the nans reheated ! The service was average, the waiter knock over my drink . Had many a great dinner in planet spice over the years ,seems to be under new management. Gone right down hill , won’t be eating here again !!

Beautifully made and nicely spiced Indian dishes. The festive curry week deal is excellent value too.

Amazing service & amazing food :-)

Beautiful food, great service and attentive staff. Food has definitely improve since we last came here

Customer service was ok and the food was amazing

Food was beautiful, service quite slow but the waiters were very kind. If I was to give any advice I would only suggest they be more attentive and give more attention to customers ahead of time rather than having to ask for things. We will be back :)

Brilliant place to visit. The food is great and always served with a smile. I couldnt recommend it more.

Excellent food and great service.

Nice place, friendly staff . Reasonable prices

Service was amazing. Waiter very down to earth & friendly. Lovely atmosphere.

Lamb dish and butter chicken were amazing. I also liked saag paneer. Very delicious.

Atmosphere was very dull to much lighting no music charge for dipping sauces which should have been free with popadoms

Lovely food lovely service would really recommend

Had an absolute pleasure to dine here today. The service was fantastic and the food was even better. Highly recommend you take a visit here.

Great for gluten free, lovely friendly staff and always well looked after if dining in. The takeaways are very generous too. Really enjoyed the curry festival.

This was my initial visit to the establishment, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The culinary offerings were of exceptional quality, and the staff demonstrated utmost professionalism and attentiveness in catering to our needs. While the ambiance was generally pleasant, I would suggest an upgrade to the seating arrangements, as some of the chairs exhibited signs of wear and tear.

Second time we’ve been into the restaurant, the staff are attentive & polite. The food is really lovely, lots of options. Their pricing is reasonable. Would definitely recommend!

It was a really good experience wonderful dining and the service was excellent ..kudos to the staff 👍

Food was extremely delicious and my kid loved it a lot .Food had perfect blend of spices .Highly recommended.

Excellent service and mouth watering food.. every time was super delicious

The food was really good and delicious

incredible food and lovely staff :)

Had a lovely time super food plenty of attention only thing missing was the onion bha:jis

Ali was very professional, charming and funny.

This is a difficult decision to make giving a bad review on a restruant I have enjoyed for many years but something has changed the food had dropped dramatically bad so gutted to have to find a new Indian takeaway, I think maybe new owners but haven’t told anyone

Excellent service and food was tasty.

Sadly this restaurant has changed hands and is no longer one of the best in the area. The interior is dirty with many rips to the furnishings. Service was appalling, despite being the only customers we had to ask several times for menus and to order. Drinks that we had requested didn’t come and the staff seemed to have no experience or training in restaurant work.

A family favourite, our kids 11 and 6 love it here. The staff are always welcoming and it genuinely feels like home from home.

Disappointing evening. Service slow and clunky. Had to ask for drinks as they were not delivered with popadums. Then had to ask for more drinks. Had to promt to order food. Waiter training apparently but it was my birthday and spoilt it. Food was good when it arrived but had to chase raita twice which was not on my Thali tray! Need to look elsewhere ……….

Really good food in a quiet restaurant so perfect for talking with friends.

Ordered a take away this evening very expense but poor quality food dry chicken. We will not order from Planet Spice again

The service was ok but the food really disappointing. Seems like they were also focusing more on their deliveries than on the restaurant. Chicken was hard and everything quite bland.

Food is delicious but decor tired. Due a refit so hopefully will look a bit better

Excellent food, great service. Really impressed by our meal. Marwan was a fantastic waiter.

Beautiful food, great recommendations for new choices to try. Service was wonderful as always

Food was not tasty, food portions were small and its not worth the price. In a chicken main dish jalfrezi there were only 3 pieces. Sheekh kebab was very dry. Customer service also very poor and staff very rude. I ordered a collection and when I went to collect the order I was charged more than what I expected. I was told I ordered an extra dish which I know did not order. The man said he had repeated his order back to me on the phone which he did not. He then refused to take the dish off the order. Overpriced place, with small portions, no value for money, plus the poor customer service made my experience even worse. I will not be coming back and will also be advising family and friends otherwise.

Great place to eat. Staff are always welcoming and polite. The food in my opinion is probably the best I have tasted as far as Indian cuisine goes. Strongly recommend as atmosphere is very relaxing and orive reasonable. Always recommend to my friends and family.

Lovely service as always, great food and lovely atmosphere.

Excellent restaurant to enjoy your evening/

We stayed in Croydon for a business trip at the Premier Inn. We decided to get an Indian delivered to the room. Absolutely excellent first class quality food would highly recommend anybody looking for Tandoori in the area? I had the vindaloo which was cooked to perfection not too spicy but lots of flavour very nice.
