The Royal Spice in Denbighshire

Watery curry, overcooked chicken, cheese naan with so little cheese we didn't know if it had any or not. Absolutely horrid food. Avoid.

food was bland , late and got our order wrong

Had a takeaway this evening Fri 18th October 2024 We had a family meal for 5 people.. my wife orderd a Butter chicken which when opend looked like cooking oil with a few pieces of chicken. The chicken was a tandorie red. Absolutley disgusting and unedible. Shall i return ? Not in a million years

large order, all was delivered correctly and tasted good and fresh

Five stars all around. The best Indian food I have had in ages. Freshly cooked, flavours were delicious and the lamb was so tender.

Absolutely stunning curry! Went for a 40th with a group but were served quickly and all food was hot and fresh. They're not licensed to sell alcohol, so it was bring your own beer, which we didn't know and had to nip to Co-Op over road. It's also NOT cash only, as it says on Google.

Really nice curry , lovely staff ,service bit slow because of lots of takeaways but we always go back once a year while playing golf in Llangollen

Issue with drivers phone so driver had been waiting 12 minutes but we didn’t know until an angry Indian from the restaurant told us to hurry and go to reception! Apart from that food was lovely as always

Lovely curry. Tender meat, full of flavor and not too oily 👌

Went tonight 6 of us for brothers birthday food lovely staff lovely well worth a visit

Lacking atmosphere, food was ok

Excellent meal ... came to £17.75 per head for four people. You do have to supply your own alcoholic drinks, the Coop is just over the road. Looking forward to visiting next Sunday. It would be nice to have the lighting slightly dimmer.

We were lucky to find this place open on a Sunday night after everywhere else we'd gone was closed, and BOY were we happy to have found it! Amazing food, so delicious, really lovely staff, and great value for money. My partner and I enjoy going out to eat and this was up there with some of the best Indians I've had.

Very disappointed. We read the reviews prior to our visit and looked forward to a great curry in less than salubrious surroundings. The interior of the restaurant was underwhelming and table bases were dirty. The food itself was the blandest Indian/Bangladeshi we have ever tasted. We had mixed kebab and onion bhajis for starters and we both had mixed bhuna with pilau rice for mains. Both courses were a disappointment, in fact the bhuna tasted more like a stew. Please be aware that this place is not licenced but there is a Co Op directly across the road which sells beers and wine. Would not return.

Very quiet on a monday, and we had to purchase the wine from the coop as they don't serve wine. However that being said the food was fantastic! Want a curry in Llangollen, this is the one you should go! Especially if you don't want to pay over the odds for fancy lighting, fancy waiters and fancy decor. This place is about the food and the food is fantastic!

Picking a Tandoori restaurant when somewhere new is always a matter of luck. This experience was variable. Service friendly & quick. Food some good some not so good. Ambience ok - not for a special night out but fine for a quick curry. We had starters which were both good. Aloo Chat recommended - tasty dish. Mains - stick with the house specialities maybe? The option from here was good. The chicken tikka balti not the best I’ve had, a bit disappointing as not much flavour and lots of big chunks of onion rather than anything else. Overall not a bad meal but also not the best, hence average score.

Lovely staff and delicious food. Nothing fancy and very informal dining experience, it was great for us 😊 chicken balti was delicious. Only criticism is they need to have clear vegan options on the menu. They would get a lot more custom if it was catered for vegans!! 🌱 Would recommend this restaurant, family friendly and you can bring your own alcohol 🍷

Food was nice but delivery time was shocking nearly an hour late.

ordered at half 6 and food didn't come till 9. yes 9, and when it did come the food was absolutely freezing cold and missing food. I was ringing since half 8 asking for delivery updated and kept being told 2 mins for it to come half a hour later and the driver to say he had only be given the order 10 mins ago. I would never ever go here again

Decent place which understands the spice level to preference and reasonably priced at this part of the north Wales

Fabulous food very nice people definitely a must to visit starters we're very nice curry was superb and everything was piping hot

Delicious food! Aloo chat (a starter) is particularly wonderful, but we enjoyed everything we had. Thank you, we will be back!

Chicken Bhuna was a bit tasteless and the lamb masala was v. Coconutty... The panneer didnt feel fresh and large chunks of mushrooms in rice

Amazing food as always, delivered fine considering it was a busy weekend.

Really bland. No spice whatsoever. Both meals we had tasted like dishwater and not even remotely Indian in taste. £30-odd wasted on a take away and ended up eating a bag of crisps instead. I should be reimbursed the cost.

we booked a table for Saturday at 6 pm was worried that there we just 4 people in, shouldn't have been. food and service was excellent restaurant was clean but could have been a little warmer it was zero outside though.

Great delivered takeaway on weekend away in Wales highly recommend for delivery to penvale lodges thank u

Went in to this place for a cheeky last night take away curry. First thing that I would point out is the hygiene rating on the door is a 3 and the menu is a 4. Quick search of the local food hygiene board and it is a 3 !!! Still having Been to far worse and wanting a curry how bad can it be? 😫 Will wait to see if there is any "fall out" from it tomorrow. Locla who was in there said it can be a bit hit or miss. We ordered two mains rice couple of bread was £27ish. Mains were over £9 each. Staff were friendly and service was fairly quick. When we got back to eat well the chicken looks bought in kind just cut up. The sauces were fairly runny and there was flavour but it wasn't overly pronounced. Rice was kema but fairly boring. Been a while since I had a rubbish curry, this was one of them. Maybe a different night. Maybe a different dish. But looking at both, both slap dashly executed. Glad I am not a local two curry houses both rubbish for different reasons Think the staff need to get them selves in to try some better places in other parts of the country get some ideas and come back with new class.

Great service and the food was delicious

Had a takeaway delivered to Glyn Ceiriog and I truly can't fault the speed of the delivery, the service nor the food .... I would most definitely recommend the food and i WILL now frequent this establishment

Takeaway meal for 8 delivered on time really tasty and best of all hot.Thankyou

Food wasnt warm, naan bread soggy and cold

Visited early evening so was only one there, although they were doing quite a few take-aways so assume must be good locally. Mixed kebab starter was good but the chicken passanda main, with peshwari naan was very tasty

Big portions of tasty food at a great price.

Food was lovely and warm, poppadoms were a bit crushed, but I don't really dip them, so it was fine. Good was amazing, as always.

our waiter was excellent, 16 of us, & no mistakes, 😀

Excellent food, nice friendly service. Will definitely return.

Lovely experience, food and service was great. Tailored to our preferences and though full, I just wanted more. Loved the chocs and warm wipes to end the meal with. Heartily recommend. Only took 1 pic

The food was tasteless, the chicken was tough, the Diet Coke was flat, I love a good Indian meal, and in my opinion this has to be the worst I have ever had

We wanted to grab an takeaway curry in Llangollen and went to Royal Spice. I do enjoy a decent curry and have tried lots of different places. Have to say I was really impressed with this place. We walked on and ordered and were told would be 20 minutes for the food (which it was), we could here the food being prepared freshly in the kitchen. There is a small restaurant area which was cosy and clean. The food we had was very impressive, full of flavour and taste and decent sized portions. It was up there with the best curries we have had. It is also very reasonably priced which is nice to see. The venue takes cash or card as payment. If you are looking for a curry in Llangollen it comes highly recommended, we will definitely visit again. Thanks Royal Spice!

We ordered a takeaway for 12 people whilst on holiday. Everything we ordered was spot on, plus extras that they brought. It was delivered in about 45 minutes and the staff, from the young man who took our order, to the delivery guy, was excellent. Very friendly and the food was great. I'd highly recommend a takeaway from Royal Spice.

Ordered a takeaway. Food was fantastic will definitely order again.

Had a beautiful meal here on Tuesday night. All three main courses we had were excellent with an exceptionally generous meat to sauce ratio. The naan breads were hands down the best I have ever eaten (I have eaten a lot of Indian food) The staff couldn't do enough for us and we're friendly and attentive without being overbearing and they were happy to make changes to the dishes. I also like that you have to bring your own alcohol. I have eaten a lot of Indian food up and down the country over many years and I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

Awesome food and service. Visited from London and found the best biriyani in the town. Alam gave a great service. Definitely recommended.

Had a lovely meal for 2, couldn't fault it- food fresh and tasty, definitely go back..

Food was spot on big portions great taste 👌 fully recommended if u love a good Indian! Thankyou 🙂

Everything arrived fresh, hot, and in generous portions. The food was very delicious.

Ye good food nice , cheap as well I go back when am them ways

Most of the food was ok but the chicken in one of the curries was inedible - hard, tasted reheated - ended up in the bin. Won’t risk going here again.

Had a variety of dishes between the two of us. Very well cooked and nicely spiced. Excellent, in obtrusive service. Would I go again? Absolutely! You have to take your own alcohol but there's a Coop store almost opposite.

Lovely food and delivery driver was lovely even brought the food to are lodge definitely recommend

Fabulous food, fresh and tasty, definitely a must if you visit Llangollen, great service, you've got to try this, sit in or take away,, oh forgot to say bring your own wine and beer 👍👍👍

Amazing fresh food, service is 5 *, have had many takeaways, and sit in the restaurant, this is a must treat for anyone who loves a curry😋, best food and service for a curry in the llangollen area,You will not be disappointed 👍

Always polite. Second time ordering delivery and won't be the last 🙂👍

Food was very bland, there wasn’t much flavour.

ordered early 6pm for 7-30 delivery and had to phone to see where it was 45 mins later turned up no onions for papadoms, no chappatis x2, oily garlic rice , pathia no taste not sweet not sour not hot ( and ive had a few) dhansak sauce was nice but chicken in both were overcooked , overall waste of £30

Food was not the best bland with no flavour Will not be going back in a hurry

The staff were professional and friendly. My vegetarian meal was cooked to perfection with the vegetables retaining their flavours and crunch. Sadly on the day of my visit they were awaiting a delivery and I wasn't able to sample dessert. Hopefully another time.

The food was fantastic. The portions were generous, along with some extra freebies. The delivery drivers were very polite, friendly and found us successfully on the side of a mountain. 10 out of 10 will be ordering again

Food was beautiful. A little late but understandable as it was a large order! We were staying in penvale lake lodges and it was delivered straight to our door by a very friendly delivery man! Could not fault it 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good food will definitely go back again

When for tea 7 of us food was lovely really nice and very cheap as well .

Ordered plain Nan bread but got poppadoms🙄

Great food and lovely service. We just popped in after a hiking on Snowdon. The food was presented so beautifully and it tasted equally good too... real authentic taste. As we were in our casual hiking trousers and t-shirts we were denied entry to a nearby local Indian restaurant in Llangollen!! But Royal Spice was extremely welcoming. The Tikka Naan and the mixed grill were exceptional. Good portion sizes 👌

Amazing place to eat! The best poppadoms we have ever tasted in whole UK! Big portions, delicious carrys and brilliant service! Thank you very much for looking after us on Thursday 28th July 2022! Best wishes. Jelena, Atiq and Ksenija.

A wonderful take away this evening. Really good Indian food, beautifully prepared, fresh and very tasty. Many thanks. We are on a camping holiday and the meal was delivered on time and with advanced warning of delivery time. Simon and Julie

Food great and delivered to our caravan on time. Many thanks

Fantastic food. Quality spices and meats. Friendly, well presented staff. Would highly recommend.

Had a few takeaways from here,also eaten in, the chicken tikka starter is amazing, the garlic nann was full of garlic couldn't fault it, tarka dall also full of Flavour, if you haven't tryed this place then you should you won't be disappointed, the chef's are friendly and the Waiter is very helpful

The food was excellent and the delivery was excellent

We thought we'd try a local curry house takeaway rather than going to our regular in Chirk. Sadly, the food was very poor. My dish was like eating luke warm chicken water. Back to Chirk next time!

The food and service was excellent

Friendly staff, lovely food been many times

Food was late. Not happy. Would appreciate a refund.

Great tasting food. Excellent service, highly recommended 😁

Consistent flavour and quality meals...takeaway...nice madras.... Back again 5/03/22..takeaway Madras was gorgeous...been here dozens of times and never had a bad meal yet...well done guys

The delivery time was a lot longer than was advertised on the app and then was another 30 minutes after their advised time. Not only that but dead on the due time the restaurant marked our meal as delivered, presumably so they don’t get penalised by just eat! Despite calling the restaurant, our food took another 30 minutes. The food was however hot and delicious, just be honest about how long it’s going to be

Had to pick up the food despite app saying it had been delivered. It was still sat under the counter when my husband arrived at the take away and that was an hour after it should have been delivered. Phone was constantly engaged so had no choice but to go to the take away personally. Not happy at all

Stopped in and ordered so food while passing through the village on Sunday evening food was tasty. Asked for some cutlery with it and to sit down and eat inside but waiter said no it was a take away so ate in my car. There was no body in side the restaurant. It was the only place open on the A5 .

Came here on a Friday night (3/12/21) after booking a table weeks ago. Then - we were the only people eating in! (7 - 8.20). So can't comment on atmosphere.......Lots of people having take aways and deliveries though. However this did mean we had really good service from the friendly waiter. Didn't realise it was a BYO, but no worries, we had soft drinks for a change. Food was lovely and tasty, well presented too. Would definitely come again when in Llangollen and will recommend on strength of the food and service. Many Thanks

Food Not as good as it usually is. Wasn’t anything tandoori about the chicken my friend had. More like stewed chicken. And my makhani chicken wasn’t as nice as usual. Shame!

As always a lovely meal delivered on time by a friendly driver. Thank you.

Delicious and good quality service all round .

Tasty meal! Will order again! Thank you

Staying at Llandysilio Hall and there were 16 of us altogether. Had been recommended this place and with an order close to £150 was a little sceptical if they could cope. All fears alleviated as arrived 5 mins early and order complete. Well done to The Royal Spice can definitely recommend.

Lovely food for reasonable prices, friendly staff in a little village, would visit again if we come to the area again

Situated on the A5 this little restaurant was a welcomed find. The food was served quickly, tasted delicious and the staff were friendly. Only downside was the don't have an alcohol licence however happy for you take you own which is a win as co-op is directly opposite. Overall a nice event.

First time ordering, very lovely food, compliments from us all round, all very tasty and came at correct time. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic food. Worth a try here if you've never dined at this restaurant before. Huge selections of special dishes available. Incredible tasty. 👌👌👌👌👌

Lovely piping hot food that satisfied the visual, alfactory senses and most importantly pleasured the palate. Thank you very much.

Absolutely gorgeous food! Highly recommended.

Tasteless. Possibly the worst Indian ive ever had.

Nice little curry house on the A5 at Llangollen serving basic authentic food and side dishes. No alcohol served but you can take your own. Reasonable prices and good service, although that may be down to the place being very quiet on a Monday evening. Worth a stop if in the area

Wonderful food, great customer service.

Really tasty food, reasonably priced, service was excellent, friendly and efficient.

Always lovely food when we order from here. One of the best

Really enjoyed this restaurant, relaxed atmosphere, customers chatting to each other I find this always a good sign of happiness. Clean tidy, quick service. And you could tell the staff were working hard. The food was very tasty, I like hot and normally ask for extra spice but this time I didn't, thank goodness the curry is hot!! But like a curry should be. Bonus! its take your own wine with a coop opposite.

Very nice food and did as I asked in the instruction box Overal great value and will use again.

Very impressed Lovely food and very polite delivery driver I will be ordering again x

We are visiting Llangollen from Wigan and don’t we wish we had an Indian like this it was by far the best Indian we have had in a long time
