Romney Spice in Shepway

The waiter seems to be sponsored by Wrigleys chewing gum :( All the time chewing gum whilst serving food and taking the order. Bloody disgusting

The meat was over cooked dry and the sauce was way to hot for the curry I asked for

Pretty poor, I wouldn't rush back. Wine glasses were Filthy. The waiter threw the cutlery on the table. The food was lovely, but not what we ordered or were expecting - my aubergine side was clearly courgette and my partner's pasanda was a satay. To cap it off they tried to overcharge us for the wine. Not a good experience

Lovely food, great staff and good value for money

We really enjoyed our curries tonight, we had takeaway which we hadn't had for a long time, delivery was prompt, food delicious nice and hot.

We booked a table of eight people for dinner when we arrived hardly any customers there, then another two table walked in, the staff are friendly and welcoming, service very poor. the food is gone downhill, bland and tasteless, it’s a shame really. Used to be one of the best Indian diner in the area,

Great experience. Waiters were attentive and friendly. Food (Vegetable Jalfrezi/ Pilau Rice/ Popodoms) was delicious. Atmosphere was relaxed. Quickly served. Clean toilets. No bad surprises.

Really nice place . Polite staff food was really nice would definitely recommend if you are in the area give it try

We were a table of 4 last night. We had such a great evening, the food was totally fantastic, I’m vegetarian and they made me a mushroom bhuna that was one of the best I’ve ever had. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the food and the wonderful attentive staff. Thank you everyone for making it a special night to remember. Nick, Caz, Frank and Jan x

Ate here whilst on hols in a caravan park nearby. Greeted warmly and was lead to our table lovely decor low ceiling with black beams staff were all dressed smart .We had poppadoms to start and when we ordered our mains my mother has a nut allergy so the waiter checked what she ordered was ok for her,i had chicken rogon mum chicken dupiaza we shared a veg rice and onion bhajis food was lovely i had 2 bottles of cobra mum bottle 00 kingfisher.When we asked for the bill were given mint chocolate and complimentary baileys bill was £40 i was expecting more will definately eat here again.On the way out a guy who i think was the owner shook my hand and bid us good evening recommend

Have regularly driven past this Indian Restaurant for the last 20 years as it is on a main road but only decided to go in on the Basis they where the only restaurant open on Sundays in the area that interested us as in the menu with an extensive range of dishes at reasonable prices. + a very nice touch at the end of the meal with a shot of Bailey s each Thank you.

Have ordered from Romney spice a few times and food is always excellent. They are very thorough when it comes to gluten free , and went through all the ingredients to make sure. Staff are really helpful and happy to accommodate to my dietary requirements. 10/10 - best curry in the area.

Table for two and chose the Thursday night 5 course menu for £14.95 p/p. We really enjoyed our meal. Very tasty, plentiful and nicely presented. Served on hot plates by very pleasant staff. Would highly recommend.

Terrific food & service, great building and atmosphere. Going back again in September.

On holiday in New Romney, ordered a delivery to Marlie holiday park. Arrived in 40 minutes, hot and tasty food. Certainly recommend

Greatly food and some good deals on different days

We visited the Romney Spice on Monday evening, so unsurprisingly it was very quiet in the restaurant. The waiter was very helpful, advising us on our choices as the menu was extensive with a number of "Chef's Specials" which we had not come across before. My husband had a mutton special which was recommended and I had a mixed massala with peanuts. We were both very happy with our meals and the service we received.

From booking through to service whilst there, cannot be faulted. The food was very very good, delivered by cheery attentive staff. Will be back for more. I'd give 6 stars if the system allowed.

Stopped off here while staying in the area. Arrived dinner time on a Friday. Only 3 other tables were taken. Quite empty! Staff were welcoming and friendly, although hard not to hear some of them coughing phlegm up, which was distracting to say the least. Food arrived quick. The food arrived with a skin on it (previously mentioned in another review). The curry’s all tasted a bit bland and sauces were gloppy thick. Not the worst Indian food I’ve had. Wouldn’t visit again if in town.

Ordered a takeaway a few times now - each time the curry was cooked to absolute perfection - and as hot as I asked for!! The staff were attentive and good natured and made me feel comfortable with my fussing over the order

Pretty poor. 2 of 5 were happy with their food, the rest were bland. My madras was a poor imitation of one. And the waiters! Didn't understand what we were saying, appeared surly or rude. One off the list I'm afraid.

Had a wonderful meal there this evening. Great atmosphere and the wonderful service. The portion sizes are great and we always leave full and satisfied. Thank you Romney Spice, Islam and the rest of the staff for your wonderful service 🙂

Best Curry House In Kent Food always Perfectly Cooked and Delicious Very Friendly Restaurant Run by Great people Thanks For all my fine meals over the years

Great strong flavors. The tandoori chicken is amazing. Nice tables with a view of the highstreet.

Always use as our choice of Indian for take away/delivery. Always had great food and lovely service.

Pretty bad. I don't usually leave a bad review but this is deserved. We were served randomly by 3 different waiters. Not very organised. Waited over an hour for our mains and sides. Massala and chips were warm at best. The saag paneer had a skin on the top where it was sat for so long. Naan was pretty good but how much can that save the evening? Staff weren't very attentative atall. One waiter even hacking with a phlegmy cough as he was laying our mains down. I wouldn't come back or recommend based on my evening. All other tables were served chocolates and shots of baileys which we didn't receive. I spent £55 and had a double rum and coke. I'll thank captn Morgan for that as it was the best bit of the meal 👍🏻 2/5 (piss poor)

went there with friends (total of eight) last night 14/10/23, all had very good meals and a good atmosphere total bill was very reasonable will be going back again

This is a new venue to us and it won't be the only time we visit. Lovely old place with head banging beams, uneven walls and a proper old layout. The staff are really good at their jobs and unlike many, they smile and have a laugh with you, personally I like this. The food is delicious and not swimming in ghee, I always have a jalfreze which is aromatic, spicy without the sting of a vindaloo and here it was perfect, so very tasty, my guests ate everything that they had ordered proving that their food was also perfect. We were treated almost like family rather than just customers, thank you all at 'Romney Spice'.

Ordered a take away from here, the service was very good but I felt the naans were small, dry and chewy, chicken in korma was not great, mango chutney was strange, rice and popadoms were fine. Wouldn’t race to find there again.

A lovely India restaurant. The food is very good and attentive staff make your time there special. The smell of the food being brought out is quite distracting.

We had to give this restaurant a try after checking out nearby restaurants. We didn't book ahead but managed to get seated straight away. The food was really good and the service was excellent. We recommend the lamb mirchi, chicken tikka sally, keema rice, and peswari naan. Happily recommended.

I think these guys just serve you what’s left at the end of the night. My food felt like a mix of anything that remained in the kitchen come the end of the night. I have given this place a few chances but never again !

A fantastic Indian restaurant and takeaway, which provided an excellent meal for us all before the estimated time to our holiday park for a reasonable price. We all enjoyed the meal and would recommend the food!

def recommend brillant service and food will def be returning

Six of us went for my sons birthday and the great value Sunday banquet. We have been to this restaurant a few times now and always have a wonderful experience. We love the food and atmosphere, and we always get wonderful service. Many thanks. 😊

Excellent service and food our second visit while in the area enjoyed the food so much good portion size & tasty highly recommend

Most of the Indian restaurants we've eaten in so far in the UK have been great, but this one was one of the worst experiences. Not that the food wasn't good, but everything else was disappointing: the high prices for the skimpy portions, strange service staff who gave the impression they'd never waited tables before. We had such a strange feeling that we preferred to pay cash.

Brilliant place and the food and the service was fantastic

Food is lovely, great flavours. Best Indian I’ve had, will defo be going back. Customer service was 10/10.

Lovely food and great atmosphere. Went with my family and they loved the food, they have a kids option but the kids didn’t want that and chose Indian dishes which was customised by the manager lll to their liking. Staff are very friendly and attentive.

Disgraceful food and service. I will never return again. The food was bland and the restaurant was very dirty

Haven’t been here for over a year, sadly staff have changed , no attention to look after us ! Watered down yogurt and mango dips, salty poppadums. Ordered a dish that I’ve always had it didn’t even look the same let alone taste as it should. Won’t ever go back to this restaurant they need to up their game in all respects 😞

Went here with my husband and three friends, we live local and have been here before but quite a while ago and was reasonably very good. Sadly we all agreed that this was the worst Indian meal we have ever had. The poppadoms was salty, the mint, yoghurt, and mango chutney were like water! My friend asked for hers to be mild, but came out extremely hot and spicy and complaining. They took it away and talked her into having butter prawns which is a mild dish. Again, this was watery and had no flavour, she didn’t eat it. It was so horrible. They knocked off the price of the poppadoms and her meal, but all of us agreed. It wasn’t nice at all.. There was no table check, and no one came to see if we wanted another drink. The service was diabolical and begrudged, leaving a tip. Needless to say we won’t ever be going back!

On a long weekend break at Marlie Caravan Park. Ordered delivery from restaurant. Delivered well on time. Food first class. From Luton with many fine Indian restaurant. Romney Spice as good as and better than some. Reasonable priced and good portion sizes. Well done .

Things did not start too well with the first service of pappadums tasting badly as if cooked in old oil. The second lot were better and things improved from there. I always think that if an Indian restaurant can produce a good Naan bread then that says a lot and they did just that. Charred and crusty on the outside, soft and buttery inside. My main was likewise excellent with chilli spice level as described in the menu. An excellent dish with a name I did not recognise but which was rich and very tasty. Decor is fine inside and service was adequate. So worth a try if in the area.

Good service and great food. Passanda and Peshwari nan were excellent. I took a birthday cake so we didn't have dessert.

Spotlessly clean, friendly staff, best Indian meal for a long time

Went on Sunday afternoon, just after regular lunch hours. Found to be open all afternoon. Food hot, good quantity and leaving us wanting more.

Don't go by the price of the 4 course listed as £11.95 outside - as it's gone up when you get inside, to £13.95 for 4 courses!

Best Indian meal for many years. Tasty, great prices and amazing service. Recommended.

Waited over 1.5 hours for a mediocre curry. Not worth it lads, do better.

BEWARE to check your takeaway order, last time papadom missing, this time one rice missing it realy spoilt the meal and has left me very cross, oh and you can't ring them to complain just goes to automated third party system.... the food we had was nice such a shame

Stumbled upon this restaurant whilst on our travels. The restaurant has made available copies of their menu for passers by to take and peruse at their leisure....We were quite impressed with their vast selection of meals available... ...so it was decided to take advantage of their services and we ordered some food to be delivered.. Meals ordered were a Chicken Tikka Sally and a Fish Shatkora Bhuna together with a couple of popadoms special rice and a Nan.... In fairness the food was delivered in a timely fashion and was hot... However the quality of the meals was something else....The Chicken dish was found to have little taste from the sauce and the chicken itself was dry....as for the Fish dish this was tasteless and very bland with regards to the fish? What fish??? certainly no obvious signs that any such creature had been mixed in with the sauce.....All in all a very poor experience and it is unlikely that any further interest will be considered in the future... Value for money??? perhaps 6/10 Certainly unable to recommend

Really dissapointed. Ordered a takeaway for two people.... The poppadoms and bread were great but the rest of it was shocking. A madras which was basically water, not a sauce. The same for the mint yoghurt, and the whole meal was at best luke warm, and im being generous, when it arrived. I would never order again.

Very good food. Well cooked, and at a good price. Staff were friendly and good.

Very friendly staff, exceptional pricing and excellent food and presentation.

This was the best Indian take away we have had in years! The curry's were cooked to perfection and sauces were full of flavour and grease free, the rice was fluffy, the breads were soft and tasty and the popadoms were lovely and crisp. Will definitely be coming here again to try the rest of the menu!

Excellent food with an extensive menu. My wife and I had salmon tikka masala which was a first for both of us. Despite being busy and not having booked, we were found a table and the staff were attentive. The food was excellent.

Friendly staff, welcoming (some their English a little limited), Good range of food, well cooked and tasty, at a reasonable price.

Poor service, long wait times for food, seem more interested in fulfilling takeaway orders than looking after customers in restaurant, wrong food provided, can't even provide bill promptly waited over 15 minutes and accused us of not paying (they actually walked down to where I was parked to accuse me of not paying, whilst my partner was still waiting at bar to pay!) Just awful really! Will not be returning.

Waited 55 minutes for food. Wrong food when arrived. A Main dish was far too salty. Another dish contained nuts when wasn't asked about allergy. We had young kids too. Waited at the bar for bill then got accused of not paying!

Food was excellent. Good value for money and very friendly staff

Disgusting take away here tonight cold food half portion size to much spice in curry worst ive ever experienced

Love the food here, really good choice of dishes. Lovely taste cooked to how you like . Excellent service, and good prices. Makes a very satisfying experience. Well recommend.

WELCOME and service was good,but food was not us expected .I older the King brown bahia and tasted so sugary and bowl was half full,wasn't enough on this money,never again! Old times was absolutely lovely,going there year's, but now dessepointed,I wish shef try this food is he's was happy,I don't think so

Banquet nights have always been gd, been many times never been disappointing, friendly staff, banging food 👌

Firstly, top marks for finding our place of residence, as we had an Air BnB at a farm house. Secondly, the food was top drawer. We had two traditional dishes and one House special with a few sundries all cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend! A+

Came here on the recommendation of our friends. Sunday lunch and it wasn't very busy, yet when outside it was 26 degrees I wasn't surprised. The 4 of us all selected a different main course and not one of us were disappointed. The food and...

Old school curry house. Super friendly staff and decent food. Does what it says on the tin.

This place is a 6 star restaurant. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The prices are very reasonable and there is plenty of choice, also the food was coming out at a good pace. Can't rate this place highly enough and we will definitely be back when local again. Thanks to all

Pleasant staff. Chicken was slightly dry. Meal was overall OK.

Have not been to this restaurant for years, thought we would try it again. Pleasant surprise , the restaurant has had a refurbishment with panelled floors and re paint of the walls. Service was good and the food was plentiful and tasty. Went on a...

Food was not as good as all Indian restaurants I've been to, staff really friendly

We’ll be the last time we use the Romney spice

We were both disappointed with our 1st visit. Decor is very tired as are the toilets. Food was the normal choices but not as good as other places we have eaten at. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Would we visit again, no sorry

Not the best Indian restaurant we have visited. Waiter was very arrogant and loud. Food below average.

Nice food but delivery very slow

Great food very well priced and excellent service 👌

Just had a take away from Romney spice. Exceptional food, great service and even give a 15% discount on orders over £15 if you are picking up yourself. If you eat here you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic food, very good service

Long time since we had in Indian food. Not quite sure what to order. Very helpful and friendly staff. Food was delicious. Will go again. Thanks to all chef included!

Being regulars for years for dine in, the service and food was always great. However during lockdowns we started to have takeaways and was shocked at how quickly the quality went down. On two occasions the food arrived cold. We thought we would give one...

Just returned from Romney Spice which was a birthday treat from my wife. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere ,the guys who work there can’t do enough for you, they are so nice and friendly. We opted for the banquet menu and it was sooo...

Very nice curry. Lots of variety, all the ususals plus many more including one called Sally?! Visited for the Sunday banquet night, brilliant value (£12.95 a head) and super tasty. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Very good service. Friendly and professional. Food was excellent.

Excellent meal, great service, I will definitely be returning.

Ordered a take away. Arrived on time. Lovely food very very tasty, portion size good. Worth a visit or take away.

Staff are lovely. Some foods amazing but they use chedder when they have no paneer. But Its obvious the manager/owner doesn't care about his staff and is greedy and rude.

Very basic food. Very outdated restaurant.

Brilliant staff,great food, excellent prices.

My fiance and I had a meal here on Friday 1st Octboer. The food was delicious and the staff were very attentive. Lovely atmosphere and will definitely be going there again

Very impressed!! A returning visit… we visit a local caravan park regularly, and we hadn’t visited here for the last 3 stays so thought we’d return! All i can say is this is the best curry we have ever had!! We called earlier in the...

This was our 1st visit as we are staying locally. I ordered a Lamb Dansak which is my normal order and my partner Lamb Bhuna. The dansak was way way way too hot. It nearly blew my head off!! When I told them I couldn’t...

One of the best restaurants ive eaten in, great choice on menu, great tastes, and staff friendly and good fun, good prices considering the quality,

Enjoyed a really superb meal tonight... obviously fresh ingredients used, extensive menu, friendly staff and very reasonable prices along with good proportions. Couldn't ask for more. Would love to go again.

Went in for a takeaway. Very pleasant staff but waited nearly 40 mins for food despite being only customer. Then they couldn’t do the nan breads so refunded them. Got the food home and chicken was chewy, almost like off a chicken donner or fried...

Family meal whilst staying in the area for a few days. Service and food all good. Menu was varied and had some different options on. Curry was all fine, would say nothing super special but was good food and limited local options for a curry...

Dreadful - tasted of grease and the worst curry ive had -

Fantastic food at a very reasonable price. Attentive friendly staff, never had a bad meal here. Booking advised.

Very helpful staff. Nicely cooked and presented food. A little pricey, although their Early Bird deal, which runs from 5:30pm to 7pm, is much more reasonable.
