Planet Spice in Croydon

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!

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

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

The food was really good and delicious

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

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.

Excellent restaurant to enjoy your evening/

Very nice meal with good company

Just ordered a delivery for the first time and would definitely recommend. We had mixed grill for starters and then I had mango chicken and coconut rice and my husband had lamb madras with plain rice. All the meat was lovely and tender. Delivery was within a reasonable time especially as we are a bit further out of their area.

We got a delivery and it the food was really lovely and most importantly the meat was very tender. We had mixed grill for starters and then I had mango chicken and coconut rice and my husband had lamb madras. Would definitely recommend.

Very tasty food and super friendly staff,will definitely be coming back AAA

Excellent food used since it opened on a regular basis

The food was not in the same league as previous years the decor is very old and in poor condition- there was and issue with hot drinks and some of food in the buffet was very weak in terms of taste and flavour- the staff are friendly

Delicious tasty food, great customer service. My Mum and I enjoyed our yummy meal.

Excellent restaurant with lovely ambience, good food & friendly staff. The place is kept clean & tables are tidy. Food selection is great with a wide varity of dishes available and a good selection of drinks. The service is fast & friendly. The staff make you feel welcome & also help you with your food selection if you are not sure of the kind & type of food you want. You are allowed to take your time & not feel rushed to finish your meal. Overall a good experience for a good meal 👍👌😁 Always a pleasure to eat at Planet Spice. The staff are friendly & the food is always excellent. 👍👌🍹😁 Had a fab Valentine's Day dinner today & as usual the food & staff were great. A lovely atmosphere too ❤💐🍾🍹😁

Delicious food. Nice range of dishes. Staff are very friendly and efficient

We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. A definite improvement since our last visit. Not perfect but the best we've had locally in a long time. We'll be going back for more all the time the quality stays that good.

The lunchtime buffet was absolutely delicious! The adults and children loved it! They had something for everyone and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Helpful and friendly staff. Food was lovely!

Lovely restaurant. We love the food here and as a take away it is also amazing. We highly recommend Planet Spice.

Great food and friendly staff, really good service

Great food and service. Went on a Friday evening and it was quiet - it shouldn’t have been, definitely worth going to

Excellent food very helpful friendly staff who aloud us plenty of time to fully enjoy a delicious meal, we were there with friend's who hadn't been to the restaurant before and they will definitely be going back again very soon. Thank you for a lovely evening. 👌🏻

Ordered a takeaway 27th December. Loads of sauce, not very much meat. What meat there was pretty tough and in slithers. Shame as the takeaway we ordered from here 2 months ago was so good

Food was delicious as always and very filling. However, service was pretty slow, particularly when waiting for the bill which took a v long time.

Had Sunday Buffet. Spot on. Tandoori BBQ wings were soo nice. Curries were delicious. Fresh naans served. 👌

Staff were lovely, very welcoming and polite

We ordered for the very first time tonight & the food was AMAZING. We'll be ordering again. Highly recommended.

A welcoming and professional. Enjoyed friendly and sincere dealings.

The food was delicious, and the service impeccable. The manager Ahmed was very helpful and attentive to our requests. Lovely evening had.

Went for a family dinner and it was very nice. The food was very tasty and service was exceptional. We would definitely going back again soon.

Lovely food. Would have gone back if staff owned their mistake instead they called me a liar. I just wanted an apology instead they repeatedly called me a liar. Made me angry. Can only hope they find out I'm not lying and don't do it to anyone else.

We have had a brilliant evening. The staff are so welcoming and helpful and the food is delicious - beautifully presented and with such deep and subtle flavours. We'll be back again soon.

Had a lovely meal as usual, the staff are friendly and always attentive, one of my favourite restaurants to visit.

Attended on Saturday 5th August 2023. We were made to feel welcome as soon as we entered the restaurant. We were quickly serve an initial stater. Whilst eating the starter the order for the main course was taken. I said I couldn’t decide as the choice was vast. The NAGA was recommended and no joke it was superb. Additionally whilst ordering the main course the manager advised the portions were quite large and so he suggested we stopped ordering. His advice was correct. After the main course, the desert choice was mainly ice cream which helped:-). All in all the evening was very enjoyable and very reasonably priced. We will be returning again. On a side note observation, the volume of deliveries being sent out via food ordering apps would suggest that I’m not the only one who must think the food is good.. I recommend you try it, I doubt your be disappointed. Well done to all the staff (especially Marwan!!!!)

Went on Friday night to have a family dinner. The atmosphere and food was brilliant. The service was excellent.

Amazing meal, lovely service. Loved here for years never been, will definitely come again

I had a takeaway delivery so I cannot comment on anything other than the food and delivery. Delivery was quicker than expected and deliverer was very nice. The food was OK. Nothing terrible but lacked flavour and spice. I think it would be ok for some but disappointing for me. Good itself was well cooked but just lacked taste.

Excellent, good food, good service, thoroughly enjoyed and Marwan was excellent

I ordered a take away via Just Eat. When I arrived to collect it I was offered a drink whilst waiting. The atmosphere was very welcoming and personalised. Once again…the food was impeccable 100%. Thank you all so much. Ruth

Fantastic meal, service was outstanding, friendly atmosphere

We used to live behind this restaurant and used it regularly because it was so good and offered something different from other local Indian restaurants. After many years, whilst visiting the UK and staying locally, we thought we’d treat ourselves and relive some of those food memories. It’s sad to say that this place has gone so downhill it now ranks as the worst eating experience I’ve had in years. The vibrant decor had declined to the extent that there was visible damp on the ceiling, the paintwork was peeling off and the seating material was badly stained and smelt. For entree we ordered onion bhaji which were small and greasy and served with a minimal amount of limp and tired salad. For mains we ordered a chicken tikka passanda and what was served was plain, boring and bland chicken breasts that had never been anywhere near a tikka marinade or a tandoor and what minimal taste there was appeared reminiscent of chicken being boiled or microwaved. The breasts were floating in a bowl of bright yellow cream that literally tasted of nothing and had a sprinkle of stale almonds on top. The accompanying keema naan was dry and tasted of nothing.

First time back since Covid and failed to dissapoint. Service and Food spectacular, full of taste and flavour.

Tried the Sunday buffet, food was tasty but not alot of variety. No samosa, onion bhaji ect ,no pudding items and 1 nan bread between 5 people. Was very basic. Staff were polite

All the food was excellent. Waiters were polite and the hot towels at the end improve the experience

Great service, great food, great price! Highly recommend!

Was a quick visit but Ahmed and the guys were great food was great soft drinks were cold 🥶 if you get a chance and feeling hungry then planet spice is the place.

Lovely restaurant & excellent food. Spacious inside. Great service with friendly staff who also had a great sense of humour. Best curry I've had in years. Parking on site is also a plus.

Have been coming here for years, and it is a favourite for me and my family. Food is always lovely. I tend to go for the chicken dhansak as it is always delicious and spicy. Would recommend.

Always the best customer service and such friendly and attentive staff. Best Indian takeaway in London, we travel from Waddon or sometimes Kenley just for the amazing food and service, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience throughout. Service absolutely brilliant, very pleasant and welcoming. Food was definitely a winner for me out of all the Indian restaurants I have been to.

Gorgeous food delivered exactly on time. We'll definitely use again! Update March 2023: quality seem to have gone downhill sadly. Fatty lamb, dry chicken, bland sauces.. what a shame.

Fabulous meal. Very happy and well fed diners, thank you for your beautiful food and top notch service.

We wanted a restaurant walking distance from our accommodation and Planet Spice fitted that criteria! We did not book but walked in to be greeted by smartly dressed staff. We were offered a choice of tables, the restaurant was quite quiet. We were seated and ordered drinks and Poppadum's and were given plenty of time to decide what we wanted to order. We skipped starters but chose various dishes to share rather than one main each and the quality of all the dishes was excellent. We enjoyed a bottle of wine with the meal and the bill was less than we would have expected. We will certainly visit Planet Spice again either eating in or take away.

Food was nice but place needs a good clean and refurb. Everything is as old as me in there. Torn, old, weathered, faded… Price wise, decent…

Went on a Friday night it was a bit quiet, but the staff were helpful and friendly good selection on the menu and food was great, nice large portions, the booths were a bit difficult to enter for the older members of our group but comfortable. Overall a good experience and would recommend!

Amazing customer service, the staff are so polite and accommodating.: with amazing food quality! It has it all! Will definitely be coming here again.

Great night had a lovely meal with my boyfriend celebrating he's birthday meal. Great night

The atmosphere inside the restaurant is nice. Food taste and service quality are excellent.

Food was amazing……….outstanding guest service 👏👏👏👏

The food was extraordinary and service was great. Recommend to all my friends and family to visit the authentic Asian food restaurant.

Food and atmosphere it’s really awesome

Had a wonderful meal. Excellent service. Best Indian in the area. Highly recommended.

Love the food, great service, need to go again!

Always get great food and service. Why not try the meet Nagga, very hot but the taste is great, and they will make it slightly less hot if you ask them to.

Great visit, food and service was excellent would thoroughly recommend.

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in South Croydon. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience and very friendly. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely one of the best meal we had while in Croydon. Highly recommend.

The entire experience was a 10/10 for us this evening. From the very beginning to the end the customer service was exquisite and we felt at ease, the food was definitely made with care and full of flavour, their mixed platter for two was a generous portion and was enough for three. The lamb biriyani was soft and succulent and the flavour of the potato and cauliflower was a great edition to the main dish

Friendly comfortable restaurant, great buffet and good service.

Fab food and service - as always! Love this local curry house!

The food was so good, and I would eat here again, 100%

We were on our way back home from a friends when we decided to go for a spontaneous meal. We both fancied a curry and didn’t know where to go, as we drove past 3 on our way. We thought we’d go to our usual in either Caterham or Warlingham. However, we drove past planet spice and thought we’d give it a try. We both hadn’t been there before and would definitely go back! The service was great and food was even better would definitely recommend

It's the most tastiest Imdian food in Croydon, you won't be disappointed, hospitality and service 5+ stars, Prices are amazing , for Food and Drink dinner for 2

Since planet spice has gone under new management and the company has become more focused on quality service dining in or taking out very tasty, don’t go anywhere else.

Excellent meal here last night. My Chicken Tikka Starter, Chicken Tikka Masala, Pilau Rice and Keema Naan were all very fresh and tasty as were fresh Poppadoms and condiments. Great service. The Chicken Tikka Masala was the best I've ever had. Very Tasty. Thankyou Gentleman I can't wait to return.👍🏻
