Royal Spice in New Forest

Good food . Nice staff and excellent service

I had chicken tikka biryani and it was so delicious

Lovely food delivered quickly. Thankyou.

Just wanted to highly recommend Royal Spice in New Milton, Hampshire! My daughter and I have ordered several meals now. We both have allergies but my daughter is allergic to onion and it is incredibly difficult to eat out as everything has onion in it! However, Royal Spice have provided onion free meals for my daughter where they put her food in a separate bag and mark all the containers as onion free. We have ordered from other establishments and have been told that the food will be onion free but my daughter has had bad reactions to the food. Royal Spice have delivered on their promise every single time so far and the food is delicious!!

Poor quality tonight. Won't order again

Have been a regular for some time now. Normally the food is so good that we order from Lymington.. Tonight though the whole meal for both me and the wife was so bad it went in the bin. Everything was such poor quality and dripping in oil. It was disgusting. Lost a regular customer

It's been a while since I've ordered food from here but tonight once again we had a lovely meal. Service is very quick, food was piping hot and the staff are very friendly.

Tried some of dishes, very tasty👍i loved it.

Ordered royal spice for the 1st time last night as it was recommended and glad we did. So tasty everything was what it was ment to be naga had the spice the onion bhajis were perfect would highly recommend and will be ordering again. You pay a little extra compared to our local ones but it's worth it.

Wow what an amazing find! 6 of us staying at Shorefields ordered a delivery. Excellent food, big portions and very very tasty. Delivered promptly and very good value We certainly recommend this Restaurant

We ordered a takeaway which I have to say was delicious. We were seven in the party and all of us enjoyed it. The huuuge naan breads and the kormas were standouts. Thank you.

Never had a bad meal here. Always scrumptious.

Take out only. Very good food. I did have a small problem. But it was sorted out ! Been using the Royal spice for about 5 years now.

We had a delivery from Royal Spice that came bang on time was hot and tasted good seen some negative feed back but ours was great.

This is the best Indian takeaway in new milton I have had. It came very quickly. Would definitely recommend to anyone!!!

Tried royal special curry and tandoori chicken tikka, Taste so good. Very clean kitchen and fresh food. High recommended👍

The food was delivered on time and was very good

By far my fav takeaway of all time, Ive never gotten over how amazing it tastes it's addicting, writing this review right now because they are so nice inside aswell, today I messed up my order completely and they were so understanding, let me try out the food I accidently ordered and then made me another meal including the order I actually meant to order, amazing place never change

A terrible service that I will not be using again and will pass my experience on to friends. After ordering on Deliveroo, it advertised 30 minute delivery times. 6.55 order time, eventually arrived at 8.23. After chasing the restaurant several times the manager called to say it is my fault as I shouldn't use Deliveroo. I replied saying to come off of it then. He also stated they are not able to control the delivery times stated on Deliveroo, this is total nonsense as other restuarants have longer times. Food was average and I can certainly get a good curry somewhere else. A complete disgrace.

Tandoori chicken was great, as was the madras the chapati could have been better, I bit under cooked

Very disappointed. Order a king prawn madras. More like shrimp.Watery and so tasteless. Other family members , not impressed with their dishes Will not order again

I used their online ordering service. Ordering was straightforward and easy to follow. After completing your order, there is a summary of what you have ordered which includes their phone number should you have any queries. I had no reason to call. Delivery was very quick by a polite driver and the food was superb. Everything was piping hot and full of flavour. Excellent value, highly recommend. I would definitely use Royal Spice again.

Was a good takeaway but now have become highly overpriced. Charging 95p for a single poppadum - they were free with order collection!

Always a nice bite here and our go to takeaway service .

Called here for a takeaway whilst on holiday and quick service and delicious food, would highly recommend

By far, the best Indian takeaway I've had. Chi ken was tender and well spiced.

Very good food, i tried fried rice and paneer jalfrezi, I love it . Recommend 👍

I ordered the king prawn vindalo and got a dish of sloppy sauce with very over cooked shrimps that where like rubber bands, for the same price as the king prawns . A great shame as the rest of the food was good.

Poor amount of chicken in korma take away container, mostly sauce.. Mint sauce not minty at all.. Not the best £25 ive ever spent.. Wouldnt go back

Great place for an Indian such a busy takeaway best in new Milton and deliver from Christchurch to Lymington well worth it the food is amazing and the reviews are great always complimenting how good the food is

We had a delivery. It was timely, piping hot and delicious. Literally the best prawn pathia I've ever had - and I'm super fussy! No grease all over, just the right level of heat, just perfect. We've been looking for a long time to find a good Indian restaurant / takeaway, and after 2 / 3 times of using this one we have found it. Lovely staff too - highly recommended from a fussy wotsit!

Lovely food and fast efficient delivery service

Food is exceptional. Website is easy to use, only thing we had a couple of times now when being delivered is the meals are just warm and nearly cold when finishing.

Have used this takeaway on a number of occasions, service and food has always been excellent would recommend it to all

Good size portions compared with others in the area but no dearer.

The food was excellent , each dish had it's own very distinctive flavours. Will definitely be back to try more.

A Saturday night delivery. Nice chap on phone, bang on time, piping hot and absolutely delicious. We can't really say so much for the butter chicken, it didn't have a lot of flavour apart from the coconut, and not much chicken in there. But my prawn pathia was stuffed full of prawns, and so flavoursome with just the right amount of heat. Delicious. Also the chicken shashlick was very tasty, and lots of chicken. We have now found our go -to Indian.

I am in the food business and love Indian food and this I have to say is the best take-away I have had in years. Full of flavour, not oily or watery, just rich and delicious. Highly recommend

Google scores on the doors royal spice, this is the only 5* food hygiene curry house around. Food was delivered hot and tasty.Recommended! Chicken dansak, mushroom rice,garlic nan.Delivered by just eat on time and hot.

What can I say always had a fantastic take away and then suddenly awful, ordered a prawn dish at nearly £14 and recieved a lot of puree type sauce with 4 prawns, did ring to ask and was told it's the price of prawns!! Was told if it had been chicken I would get plenty of chicken for my money, suggestion, perhaps offset the cost of the loads of chicken against the prawn special at £14. The sag aloo was lots of aloo very little sag, know times are hard and a takeaway is a treat these days, surely that's not another thing we've all got to accept under efficient over priced.

Wow , I've just had the best takeaway Chicken Tikka Madras ever.. Very Very Fresh , Newly made base gravy. Highly recommended

I ordered cheese and onion nan and it was more like cheese on toast and sag pannier was all sloppy curry only had 5 small bits of chicken not bad flavor just disappointed

Top quality curry and quick delivery to caravan park whilst on holiday. Will order again when we’re back down this way

Great food, spot on with delivery. Nice to have a great curry again. Look forward to eating you food again.

This Indian restaurant is run by the same team that run the Red Chilli in New Milton. NEVER give either of them your phone number or email address - they will spam you mercilessly.

Best indian takeaway in Hampshire. The food is at high standards and fresh. Royal Spice has 5 star hygiene rating the place is spotless sparkling.

Avoid poor customer service, was late by 45 minutes, phoned to say it would be leaving shortly asked for a refund they then said it was out for delivery and refused to give me a refund. Awful service 1 hour 30mins for a average meal!

Ordered takeaway yesterday, the last time I got a takeaway from there the nann was like one you get from supermarket (cheap ones)the rest of the food was OK, so this time I ordered a chapati that was worse than the nann, it was all damp like it had been mirco waved, that's my last visit there,

Excellent vegetarian selection including plenty of tasty paneer dishes. generous portions. Garlic Naan always a favourite. Staff are always helpful & friendly. Had a nice chat with khan this evening. Very clean, open kitchen, menu well set out. We order once or twice a month, they’re always busy! Excellent all round, highly recommended

The best part of our meal was the fact that it was delivered promptly, after that things went downhill. Each container consisted of the same brown sludge. There was no variety of flavour between the dishes. The veg curry was potato and cabbage. The lamb Korahi was what might have been lamb, but we’re not sure and raw onion. Same consistency and colour. No idea what the cold, dry, flat naan consisted of!

We were staying near New Milton and thought to try an Indian takeaway. We cam3 across The Royal Spice almost by accident. What an absolute treat. We entered the takeaway and ordered our meal. All was very clean and very customer focussed. Within 10/15 minutes our meal was ready. What can I say.... It was absolutely gorgeous. Lovely poppadoms, very tender spicy chicken dishes, and side dishes. Probably the best Indian takeaway we have eaten for a couple of years. Very highly recommended, do try it, you wont be disappointed. Thank You Royal Spice

We were down here for a few days from Slough, which has very good curry places. Well you are very lucky to have the Royal Spice. This has beaten all of our ones! Incredibly amazing flavours, portions and flavours! One of the dishes was saag and it always comes from tinned spinach. Here they use fresh. Wow!! I have travelled to India and this is on par of course. Highly recommended

We ordered a take away to the local caravan park. The food was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended. Food was still hot on arrival and tasted Fresh

Ordered from Royal Spice for the 1st time last night and was really disappointed with my meal. I had the Royal Special and the sauce was so sweet that I found it inedible. I had to scrape all the sauce off and just eat the chicken and rice. My son’s chicken tikka was fine as were the naans and rices so maybe there was a slip-up with my meal unless it’s supposed to taste really sugary. Delivery was super fast and the driver was very friendly so I’d be prepared to order again from Royal Spice but I wouldn’t order the Royal Special.

Ordered a Paneer Makhani delivery. The cubed paneer was covered in what looked like custard. No texture, incredibly sweet, quite revolting and unappetising. We won’t waste our money again.

Just tried Royal Spice, first time. Ordered meal for two, excellent value for money, delivery on time, very hot and full of flavour. Would definitely recommend 👌

Food cold and order not complete never again

Back in the area on holiday, so thought we'd revisit for a takeaway. Food excellent, only downside was delivery only to holiday camp reception, rather than to the door. Still highly recommended though 👍

Just tried for the first time, and I was really impressed by the good quality and tast of food. I really don't understand bed reviews, as is definitely one of the best curries I've had. And really good size of portions. Extremely efficient delivery service as well.

Another winner from Royal Spice. Thankyou for our great curry this evening. Delivery was on time and hot on arrival. Looking forward to the next one 😃.

Really good, I can't fault it, maybe a little pricy, but the overall quality was excellent. We just came down for the holiday and took a friend's recommendation and it was spot on. Lamb rogan josh, chicken makhani and loads of veg brilliant. If you are down here on holiday and fancy a take away, dive in.

We usually have a curry from here on a friday night, last night was the worst ever. The chicken tikka masala was just tomato puree sauce, no spice, no texture no flavour, dreadful. The mushroom bhaji swan in what looked like dish washing water and the rice was hard and flavourless. Safe to say I wont be ordering from here again .

Had a Lamb curry, they clearly use cheaper meat was tough and grisly and overcooked tasted like they cooked from frozen or don't defrost properly before cooking, could not finish meal as it made me wretch. Can't understand the 5 star reviews, I'm a qualified chef and know this is not good food, I would avoid this place.

Bhuna had hardly any flavour, poppadums were a bit soggy. Peshwari naan and pilau rice were okay. I would have phoned to complain but last time I called about a mistake with my order they were reluctant to help!

I found Royal Spice online as we wanted an indian meal to be delivered to our caravan while on holiday. I ordered and paid online. Delivery was swift, only about half an hour. The food was excellent. We ordered Chicken Dsansak, Chicken Bhuna, Chicken Dopiaza,...

We really enjoyed the Chicken Balti. The Saag Aloo was perfect. The Chicken Tikka was slightly dry , otherwise it was a perfect dinner. The Garlic Naan- perfect texture and coconut rice and a fluffy paratha bread. I like the idea of the points and...

Lamb tikka bhuna was least tender I've had for a long time - had to take three pieces of grizzle out of my mouth and leave to one side. The sauce was very nice.

Lovely meal! We ordered a meal for 4 on a Saturday night, and it was clearly a very busy night for the restaurant. We all enjoyed the meal very much, and we all commented on how good the food was. The food tasted great, cooked perfectly and not greasy at all. Highly recommend this place!

Lovely food, hot and tasty, always delivered before said time

Enjoyed the curry good flavours plus freebies I’ll be coming back!

Single best Indian take away I've ever eaten at, unbelievable curries at good prices. The owner is friendly and couldn't ask for more

The best Indian takeaway, absolutely superb.

Had Royal Special, chick tikka madras rice etc plus starters. Have never had a dish that we didnt enjoy. Always hot and delivered on time. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for an Indian takeaway and after living here for 25 years we have tried them all!...

Wow The food was amazing tonight really fresh and full of flavour Royal special is definitely one for trying With a little extra heat

Don't normally have a negative, but rang at 7:30 for a 8:15 collection, got there at 8:20 to be told 10 minutes! Unfortunately the food was still bloody good.

Ordered chicken tikka jalfrezi,and dhanak, tarka dall also Gobi, pilau rice, and a plain naan, everything bar the naam was very nice, the naam was in a foil bag to keep it hot, but to our amazement it was cold and was uneatable, the 2...

First time of using. We had the set meal for three. Good portions, the Lamb Dhansak was excellent. Delivered really quickly. Will use again

Nice food but a service charge was taken as was a delivery’s charge for Hordle. Very surprised. This was for a take away.

One of the better Currys I have had, will be going back.

Another excellent set of meals, great portion size,very flavoursome,fresh and hot. This is our 4th takeaway over the recent weeks and standards have been consistent.

Great to see them reopen ordered last night they where happy to answer my questions about different dishes and explain them Food arrived in 20 mins hot and great Better than the last time even looking forward to the next meal

We always usually use royal spice for takeaway. Today I will never order again, portion sizes were ridiculously small, the chicken was chewy and purple! Couldn’t even eat it was awfully off putting!! Order was also delivered incorrectly !!!

Not a big fan of Indian food so have to be in the right mood to have one Took the plunge with royal spice and it was great first class big bits of chicken good meat to sauce ratio onion bhaji not full of grease...

We were told because we were hard to find ,even though we were less than a mile away from them we should next time collect our food shame on you ,Bearing in mind this is about the six time we have ordered the food from...

Off the cuff takeaway - the chicken chilli massala was top notch, generous portion. The naan let it down a bit as did the short portion of mint yoghurt. Would have been a 5 out of 5 otherwise. Will go back & look forward to trying something else.

Good variety and friendly service. Lamb was tasty but chewy.

Very nice take away, had the chicken dhansak which was pretty spicy but very tasty.. Quick service and not too expensive either

Always get our takeaway from here, been coming for years. Takeaway today was a bit disappointing, lamb ceylon was so spicy it was barely edible (and I love spicy food) and our sag aloo was all potatoes and no sag. Hopefully it was a blip and it will be back to it's normal level soon!

Had a take away. Waited over an hour and it was all overcooked. Disappointed..

Easy to order, always delivered quickly by polite drivers. The food arrives hot and fresh, spicy and full of flavour. Chicken pieces are juicy and succulent, rice is fluffy. Always very happy!!

Best food around and great service! Always delicious and generous portions! I always go here even though its further for me to get to than others locally. 5*

Delicious Indian food and not overpriced.

We have had good take aways from the Royal Spice in the past, but on this occasion, we were very disappointed. We both ordered a lamb dish, Royal special and lamb balti, with rice, poppadoms and onion bhajis. . We usually have chicken, so wanted...

Very nice food Best takeaway around we been tried rest of them but now we think the Royal Spice is the best promising delivery time and quality of food never been disappointed from this place

Expensive, miserly portions and dry compared to competitors. When asked why so expensive they said it was about quality. Used to be decent, won't be using again!!!

Think I went to a different Royal Spice to all other reviews. Overcooked rice and insipid chicken curry with no flavour or spice at all. So disappointed!!! Was do looking forward to a rare take away treat!!

Lovely curry one of the nicest in a long time

Dhansak very pasty and way too hot. Korma on the other hand was very good, although its very difficult to muck up a Korma.

Always my first choice Indian, their banquet for two is great value!

love the food absolutely great food great customer service and overall great take-away
