Royal Spice in Barnsley

Arrived ahead of time, waited 30 mins to be seated, then 30 more mins to get a drink. Was ignored . Eventually ordered food . We had been there over an hour by this point. It seemed too busy for the amount of staff working. Very disappointed as we go regularly, this experience has made me think twice about going back. Place was in chaos .

quick service but meal was poor onion bhaji very dry no salad with it dupizia was very dry no sauce and hardly any onion which is surprisingly odd as its onion based very disappointed will jot order again

lot of missing items and food was horrible. worst Indian have had

Half an hour late. Luke warm. Mango chutney had spilled over everything and the quality and ingredients are terrible.

Amazing as usual. The buffet is such good value. The buhna is the best we've had, and no other restaurant comes close.

the egg fried rice was hard. the nann breads were soggy. the fries were cold. worse Korma I've even had.

Food was late, cold and item was missing

Delivered early and was hot and delicious as usual.

great food but always at least 30 mins to 1hr late!

Abysmal. Took two hours to deliver, disconnected phone lines so we couldn't get in touch. For the second time (didn't refund the first time) got my order wrong and sent a starter instead of main. Offensively offered a £3 refund. Inevitably, the food was cold. Thanks for a lovely Valentines, Royal Spice! Certainly won't be using or visiting again.

Ordered takeaway, never turned up. They don't answer the phone either to sort it out. Avoid if you want to eat and don't want to get ripped off.

Had to go pick up after waiting nearly 3 hours food was cold too

Amazing. Spicy as well. This restaurant chefs are very professional. Read order receipts correctly and make delicious food. Best Indian curry and Biryani’s available at this restaurant!

Food was cold. Was late delivering food. Food was just bland and not worth the money. Definitely not ordering food again

Arrived 20mins late and only after I phoned to chase it up, then arrived cold and missing an item. Very disappointing.

Food ready to collect on time. Friendly staff and lovely fresh hot food.

cold rice, tried to deliver to wrong address.

Could taste that food had been previously frozen. Liver had a weird texture to it and even my cat refused to eat it. The curry had a floral taste to it, it went straight in the bin!!

Food arrived 1 hour and 30 mins after ordering, everything was cold, not to our taste flavor wise, garlic naan was just off overall, mixed grill hardly had any meat in it, overall very dissapointing, luckily had 40% off so didnt waste too much money. Delivery guy was very polite.

Arrived stone cold deliver said 7:50 - 8:10. Came at 8:40 - clearly been ready for quite a while. Salads warm tho!

The boxes were labelled up wrong so I opened the wrong meal. We eventually swapped but I was very disappointed with the dish. There was very little sauce at all making it drier than it should have been. My dad had the other meal and was equally disappointed. Have been eating here for more than 10 years but won’t be ordering again.

Really disappointed- order from here a lot and always really nice but stone cold freezing food, over an hour late is not acceptable, dangerous even! Will have to find another favourite unfortunately.

If I'd read some of the most recent reviews I probably wouldn't have ordered but I'm glad I didn't. My order was delivered well within the time slot expected and the food was lovely. I will order again from here without a doubt

Food was cold and no taste, won’t be ordering again. Delivery man was polite and on time no fault there.

First time trying and pleased I did. The food was really lovely and delivered well.within the time slot given. I will order again

The food was delicious!! Even though it arrived late. The delivery driver was polite and nice! Would happily order again!

says delivered not even dropped my food off

Food arrived 2 hours after order abso clap cold and the bag it was in stunk of cigarettes wont be ordering from here again

Quick delivery, food all super nice, have used before and would use again

Very friendly staff and food arrived on time but wasn’t warm and not to my taste

the curry's were very oily. portion of rice was only half the tray and.mint yoghurt was missing. Quality of the curry's lacked today.

Mixed grill starter was minging and they forgot some food!

order from here a lot and food is normally very good however tonight the food was cold and didn't taste as nice as it normally does it has now put me off wanting to order from here again

always used this indian takeaway great food and delivery

Food was absolutely freezing and we had to throw it away

food was nice and hot , delivery time was excellent for a Friday night , portion size on the small side for the price but overall outstanding meal 100% recommend

Cold as tried to deliver to wrong address. Tried delivering to peel street barnsley town centre not Worsbrough common

Rice undercooked, like bullets. Lots of chicken bits, but unfortuatwly all of them were like chewing pebbles. Not a good experience with this one

rice block of hard part. curry cold not happy

Ordered Chicken Bhuna and Chicken and meat tandoori, rice, chips and Nan bread. Only had issue with the chicken and meat tandoori, the portion was unexpectedly small for the price and the lamb was overcooked, really really chewy and mainly inedible. The tastes and flavours were good just overcooked

Some of the chicken in one of the curries was gristly but only a few pieces. Usually no issues

been a customer for 20+ years. always great quality food- past few times food has been a lot spicier than normal. wouldnt stop me ordering i may just request things to be milder.

Half tandoori chicken got as 1/4 quarter 2 piece ,not worth for money.

Ordered from here a few times and food has been really good, but abysmal today. Spent £30 and had to chuck it, it was inedible. Vindaloo was a thick paste, tasted burnt and like chemicals. Rice was like rubber. Very, very poor. Won't order again.

The majority of the food was cold delivery was late and the Pilau rice certainly wasn't pilau.

Food was cold on arrival and did not taste nice at all, and the whole meal smelt of cigarette smoke from the delivery driver especially the poppadoms that were inedible due to this! Would never order again!

Ordered 18:04,arrived 20:09. Food is cold

Even though the flavour was nice in all dishes, I found them unusually dry. There wasn’t enough sauce in the dishes I didn’t think this time.

Absolutely gorgeous food as per usual! Glad we chose this for our new year treat, outstanding 👍🏻

Great food and staff fantastic as always you've tried the rest now's time to try the best it's a twelve outta ten from us Fantastic

Food was lovely, however the food was quite cold especially the chips they were like rubber

Been going to royal spice for years never had a problem went Christmas Day and to be honest wasn’t the best then the service was shocking pop was flat , ordered a takeaway New Year’s Eve my husband went to pick it up , got home all of it was cold the poppadoms was out of a packet and the chicken tikka sizzle I ordered was horrible not what I normally get rang to complain and who ever answered the phone was so rude shouting at me down the phone and just told me to put it in the bin after going there for over 10 years we won’t be going back ever again !

Very tight with the pickle tray. Ordered two - we got a pot of mango, a pot of onion and a pot of red onion. No raita, no lime . Food was all ok but nothing to really get the taste buds going. Will stick to over the road - only used here due to the 20 percent off Tuesdays

delivery 45 mins late, order was cold and chicken was very undercooked with blood.

Ordered 2 hours ago and still haven’t received my food

the food was shocking!! never tasted anything like it!!. Didn't even resemble the dishes we ordered. I'm sure frozen chicken was used. all of it went in bin. wasted money.

Over 3 hrs for my food to be delivered and over 70 phone calls to the restaurant were there was no answer

Another 5* order. Thanks again

absolutely shocking i ordered my food at 18.01 it is 20.37 and still no food it was meant to be delivered at 19.15 I have rang thr restaurant 67 times and it just rings off I will never ordered from them again.

Shocking, went to collect and got told our order didn’t exist, we showed prove through just eat and still got told no order was made. eventually our order was fulfilled having to a poor standard, will never order again !!!

Ordered a takeaway for New Years Eve. I've never tasted anything so awful in my life. The Jalfrezi did not resemble one and the Korma was shocking went in the bin! Will never order again.

The starter was good (lamb chops) The curries were ok. The food was hot enough, bit tasteless though, not worth the price I paid.

Terrible time keeping by them. Ordered delivery via just eat. Offered a 35-55 min window, chose later one. Didn’t come for another 45 mins after that. Do not order. Wasting your time.

Delivery was late and we had to reheat the food when it finally got here

Not good value at all you would expect either rice or chips with the main plus said delivery was 99 and charged double so pretty cr4p really and the food was less than average too

Delivery man very polite and friendly, lovely food, needed warming up for my liking but not a big deal, delivered right on time. Very tasty curry's. Thank you.

Great food as always. many thanks.

Food was alright. Just alright though.

Always order from here, food is great. We used to get delivery but found sometimes it would go a bit cold by the time it reached ya but that’s probably due to taking a few orders out at once so just get collection now and it’s always really nice. Food is tasty and fresh and decent price too

We have been using The Royal Spice for over 20 years. We do tried other Indian restaurants but always return to our favourite as nothing has ever matched the quality, service and price. The food has never disappointed and its always been hot, flavoursome and tasty. See you soon Zaff and team 😊

food was cold and tasted abysmal

The food was hot and delicious. Very good value for money. The delivery was excellent as the driver followed our instructions to get to the correct door. Would highly recommend

Live 2 min walk away and chips and currys were barely warm. Seriously? Not impressed

Absolutely rubbish worst Indian we have ever had all dishes like water n cold

forgot boiled rice but apart from that excellent food as always

Ordered by Uber. Food was freezing. Came very late and to make it worse I found metal wire in the food so ended up chucking it away. Have to be honest and say I feel quite sick at the thought of it now. Never again.

Fantastic as always. king prawn sizzler is my new favourite. Thank you x

Lovely food! The mixed tandoori was delicious!!

At last a takeaway that's amazing hard to find the best tasted this is a 10 why didn't we try th before just orderd new street mapplewell

Food quality was very poor, soggy nan bread, tasteless curry

Chicken Tikka - Tasty but not too hot Salad lots of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, lovely and refeshing.

First time ordered. Was very tasty. Will order again

We have been coming here for years and it gets better every time. Without a doubt the best Indian restaurant in the area. The menu offers a wide range of dishes. The paneer tikka starter is exceptional. I always look forward to my next trip to the Royal Spice.

This was the worst Indian I’ve had. Bland curries with tiny cubes of what tasted like frozen chicken pieces, cold Bhajis and a poor excuse for a pickle tray. I had to throw the butter chicken away after one bite. Don’t waste your money.

Food was lovely & delivery was fast. Would order again.

Delivery on time. Food nice just way too many cumin seeds in the rice. I always order from here and usually it’s fine. Curry lovely just lay off all them seeds in rice next time pkease

Food tasty as usual but portion size of starters leave a lot to be desired 8 small pieces of meat split between mixed meat tikka and meat tikka starter

Had the buffet 10 Nov 24 . The choice was very dissopinting didn't even taste nice to the point I left my plate we ordered off the menu chicken pakora chicken chat chicken tika masslla garlic nan bread chips etc even that wasn't nice . First and last time we will be going. Sort the toilet seats out. .

I ordered at 4 pm (justeat app) and arrived at 4:20pm. It's a 10-minute trip from curry house to my house. Poor quality food. No taste. Chicken was not freshly cooked. They used frozen chicken strips and microwaved in ready-made jar sauces. Excess water found in both dishes. Could not taste anything! The dishes were not freshly cooked. My dog didn't like it either!

Half hour late, cold meal,Bhaji I could’ve used them as squash balls, tough n dry, old! Second fail from here won’t order again. Lesson learnt! I’ll not mention the fries 🙄.. poor overall.

An hr and a half should be fine for a delivery but it was stll 2hrs and completely cold throughout

Not been for a while. Naan and rice were dry, curry was pretty bland as well

Wouldn’t order from here again, not our usual indian but it was £8 off Thursday etc so we thought we’d try.. small portions compared to other Indians and was luke warm… the chips/currys/rice… all luke warm

Perfect. Very good quality food. 10/10

Unfortunately not up to the usual standard.

Food was cold, rancid, and majority was missing

Took money via Just Eat - Never got the food order, phoned 36 times line busy , no communication.

Very disappointed, curry was actually tasty however was let down by several things.. I ordered a cheese nan and it came just a normal Nan. I ordered a chapatti and I didn’t receive this. Yet I have paid for both items. Chips were hard and could tell they were fried several times. Onion baji very very dry. No salad or sauce with baji or mixed starter. Very very disappointed. This has put me off ordering from here in the future.
