The Royal Spice, Wakefield in Wakefield

Excellent restaurant friendly staff great food

Absolutely outstanding food and service Nas is a complete gentleman and you will not Go wrong with both the food and service, I would highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful food with great staff and a brilliant atmosphere highly recommended to anyone who wants the best currys

It was our first time at the royal spice. In wakefield and we weren't disappointed we normally go to their other restaurant in Barnsley. The food was amazing. The service was excellent the ambience was fabulous . Highly recommended will definitely go again

Having travelled down to Wakefield from Glasgow for our annual visit to the rhubarb festival. We visited the Royal Spice on the Friday and it was excellent. Firstly the greeting we received from the staff very friendly, it was very busy however they managed to get us a table very quickly. The food was delicious and and reasonably priced. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Unfortunately we will need to wait for another year for our next visit to Wakefield. One thing is certain we will return to the Royal Spice to enjoy the lovely food and brilliant staff.

Nice Sunday buffet, good value including nan bread which is a nice touch

My wife and I eat here on a regular basis, sometimes with friends and sometimes with family. The food is always top quality and the service is excellent. Last night was the busiest I’ve ever seen the place and they were seriously understaffed. Despite this, the level of service was exceptionally high as usual and the food was as good as ever, if not better! We had starter of a sizzling mixed platter for two, followed by meat Makhani and Posh Spice (no Beckham jokes please), for mains. The prices are reasonable anyway, but when you factor in the quality service and the quality food, it makes the Royal Spice exceptionally good value for money.

Great Sunday buffet and very fair price. Can’t be beaten in the area for price and selection available.

Amazing food, very friendly staff and a warm welcome. Cannot fault anything about Royal Spice.

We have visited the Darton branch for the last 10 years and only recently found out about the Wakefield one! Both local and both 10/10. Lovely food, lovely lads and lovely interior!

Disapoimted tonight is it a new chef, and or cut backs. Food was all cold imcluding the mixed grille and chicken seehk kebab, wilted salad ..and rather bland curry i have been ordering here years and eatimgnin the resteraumt it drpd standards

Curry is always good but the chips are inconsistent, were cold

Always good tasty hot food thank you.

Always a warm welcome at the Royal Spice. Fantastic food, great service & a good atmosphere. So glad we live close to this gem.

Possibly the best fish curry I've ever had. Worth every penny😁

Fantastic food, value and service.

Food was cold and late not of usual expectations

No respect for neighbours at all. Their staff are dumping empty glass after 10pm every bloody day. Noise they make can be heard from far and it could wake up dead, not mentioning kids. If they treat their neighbours like that, how they must treat their customers? Today again. 10.30pm Some moron just dumped all glass making ridiculous noise. Like they couldn't do it tomorrow during day. Its a joke.

It was are first visit yesterday for the buffet 3 of us went. We got told of a friend to try the place so we did and boy we will be definitely going back the food choice was brilliant for the price we paid everything cooked to perfection. Staff went over and beyond to help you. 👍

Reliably tasty curry from Royal Spice at a decent price. We love going to this place but when that isn’t possible, a take away is the next best thing.

This is our local restaurant, and it never disappoints. We went on New Year's Eve. As usual, we received a warm welcome from the whole team, even though they were extremely busy. The atmosphere and food were spot on, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Can’t beat the service or quality 👍

Beautiful food very tasty and delivered nice and hot.

Amazing as always!! Thanks guys x

Never even recieved it but they took money

Service was quick but the quality of the meal was poor. The naan was burnt & tasted awful. The bhuna was really mushy. The onion bhaji was too thick and in bits and very bland. The only thing that was nice was the rice. A shame, I used to like here.

Very expensive though the quality of food is good. Arrived in good time.

You are made welcome and the food is great

What a lovely evening spent with family at the royal spice Wakefield. From walking through the door you are met with the warmest welcome you could have. Naz and his team are just the best. The food is out of this world, best ever Indian food ever. The service was spot on from start to finish. In fact outstanding. You are made to feel part of the family. Not one of us could fault a thing. If you don’t believe me please try for yourselfs, I am sure you won’t be disappointed.

The food is always delicious - nicely spiced and not greasy. We particularly liked the vegetable samosas and the chapattis are excellent. I always get the balti lazeez as it has plenty of paneer as well as meat. Our favourite curry house!

We’ve been going here for years and honestly over the past month or so we’ve had enough. The quality of food has sadly gotten worse and after giving chance after chance we are going elsewhere from now. Ordered for collection weekend before Christmas and I was stood in the restaurant 45 minutes after the collection time stated. We have ordered tonight and the amount of oil in the curry’s, the saltiness in the mixed starter and missing the missing chips we ordered just isn’t acceptable.

My favourite food well done Royal Spice always perfect 👌

brilliant as always. thank you

Absolutely stone cold. Not even luke warm. Stone cold

Despite this saying at 7.15pm that it had been delivered, we have just received this. Chips cold and all popadums and peshwari naan is wet. We would like a refund

fantastic food, thank you. will be ordering again

Good food as always. Definitely recommend

Lovely as always. I just wish the chips were cooked a little more to be crispier Andy would be perfection

Been here multiple times. Amazing food, all came within an hour. would definitely reccomend to all. Personally would reccomend the chicken tikka madras, absolutely beautiful.

food really nice we use these all the time with no problems but only thing I ordered 2 lots of fries on my last order but one was missing but as it was only one fries and never had a problem before I just left it and couldn't be boyto phone them

Absolutely horrendous, all the food tasted off as though it had been cooked a few days prior, heated up and sent. Order from here quite regularly and very let down. Everyone that tried some of the food got upset stomachs. Usually it's quite nice, fresh and lovely but put off after last order.

Went with family Christmas Day . Ali and his team of brilliant staff did a fantastic job of 3 sitting’s throughout the day . We were at the middle sitting. Great friendly service and fantastic food .

Lovely food. Excellent service and a popular place in the village of Wrenthorpe

The best tandoori king prawns I’ve had for a long time, highly recommended by

Always absolutely fantastic from these guys. Best Indian around!

Great quality good and nice delivery drivers! Satisfactory

missing items and delivery driver on phone whilst dropping food off - very unprofessional

Food was very cold. Quantity of chicken in the curry was appalling. The 2nd curry we ordered was full of cooking oil. First and last time eating here

food was tasteless no taste at all all 3 dishes tastes like if they was made in the same pan very dissapoiting

originally said on website delivery time was “45-65 minutes”. Once order had been accepted it changed to 2 hour delivery time. Took 1 hour 50 to arrive. When it arrived the food was cold, curry was barely warm but meat cold, rice and chips were dry.

Excellent food - All the curries were on the hot/spicy side however that was ok for us -really enjoyed. Thank you

Food was hot, tasty and delivered quickly. Thanks.

top quality as usual, would highly recommend

Unfortunately this is the second time in a row that one of the items was wrong this time I got a plain naan instead of peshwari naan

Food never arrived tried ringing restaurant but no one answered just ignored

By far the worst experience of food from anywhere. Lamp chops resembled something found on a bbq the next day. The cooks should be embarrassed to have sent this out, that they did means they've lost this long term customer.

Food was nearly cold not normally like that

Always a lovely would definitely recommend 👍

Korma was awful, watery and just tasted of coconut. Chips, rice etc were ok

food was cold quite clearly a different chef on tonight, won't be ordering again

The tandoori butter chicken tasted off. The other food I would say if average.

Tonight we ordered a sizzling platter for 2. Very disappointed as we would have had more food if we had ordered separate starters. Also the food was not would be expected on a sizzling platter! We order regularly from this restaurant and have never had a bad meal. Tonight was not good 🙁 !

Amazing food and amazing service. 100% recommend Royal Spice. Lovely atmosphere to sit and enjoy your meal.. definitely will be visiting again 🥰🥰

amazing food as always. love the royal spice. Just eat must be playing up as they didn't receive my order till after it was showing as delivered. quick call to the restaurant and delivered in less than 20 mins and piping hot. top customer service thank you 😊

the food tasted amazing but it didn't arrive very warm.

Lovely setting, recently refurbished. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is excellent. We had Jalfrezi, Nawabi and Tandoori Chicken as mains, all delicious.. Going again soon!!

Great food, efficient service, friendly staff and great set up. Enjoyed our visit and would definitely return and recommend.

Absolutely 💯 authentic Indian cuisine And top service 👌 Well done team royal spice

35 minutes late , no apologies, had to re heat never good re heated , look elsewhere next time

Order not delivered. Given the runaround by the restaurant after 3 phone calls, blaming the Just eat driver, pretending to call him, load of boll@cks. Do not use this hole

food was not really what ive ordered. The curry wasnt spiced enough or tasbed as the one i Have ordered before. Pretty dissapointed as was looking forward to it.

Lovely food but samosa was missing from the starter I ordered and was replaced with spring roll type thing. This has happened a couple of times on different mixed starters where the items listed are not the ones supplied

Order took over 2 hours was 45 mins over time stated. Had to ring the Restraunt up regarding my order.

Really amazing food - really nice service. Would recommend to anyone. I mean, delicious. Our new go to place for curry, and those starters are delicious. So tender. Please give me your recipes!! ;) Keep up the good work guys and see you again soon.

All family were regulars - Food late and food cold. Portion very small, all went in the bin - will be seeking refund from Just Eat and not ordering again.

Food was late, so flat cold when it arrived. Chicken was tough, my karahi wasn't even half full. Restaurant staff lied when I rang to ask where my order was. Won't be ordering from here again.

Amazing food amazing timing great delivery guy - order from here you won’t be disapointed

Don't know what was going with this place but we ordered from just eat and omg it was disgusting. The poppadoms were burnt and had an awful taste, the chicken in the curries were rock-hard and the chapatis weren't cooked properly and they were stone cold, naan bread was like cardboard, awful!

Been going to the Royal Spice over 20 years , firstly at Darton and now at Wakefield , can honestly say been elsewhere but nothing compares to the Royal Spice , take a bow guys 👏👏👏👏

Didn’t taste good this time. Chicken seemed scrappy and sauce wasn’t as tasty. ☹️

Very good food. Friendly service and absolute fair prizes.

Very disappointing. Poor quality food especially the watery korma. Online menu is from 2020 and the prices are out of date. We were charged £12 more. Chips were cold.

Ordered at 5.40pm, finally came at 7.10pm. The lamb chops I have had several times are inedible, just absolute pure salt.

Would give 0 stars if I could, never eaten anything like it! Ordered a chicken tikka masala, came out n was a bowl of red water with tiny pieces of chicken. Tasted like chicken soup. Absolutely awful. Not a curry in the slightest! Staff took it away, didn’t apologise, brought me another dish out was just a mix of herbs and spices, very perfume like, couldn’t stomach it due to being put off by the first slop. Soggy pakoras, poppadoms were edible. Don’t be fooled by these 5 star reviews!

Good food as always. Would recommend

Best Indian in Wakefield, our go to when we fancy a curry!

Best Indian around! Always read the notes and staff are excellent! Can’t recommend this place highly enough 😋

Beautiful food best Indian around great value for money

Ordered online and then went through to pick it up it was more expensive than the original order so there online app or order form may be outto date so be wary. Food wasn't the best portions again were rubbish it wasn't good value for money and ive had better for less from just normal takeaways with out them being full blown restaurants like this so overall we felt ripped off and won't be going again.

lovely hot food made authentic as requested

Really nice restaurant. The best in Wakefield in my opinion. Delicious food with really friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Great food, good prices. Will be ordering again!

Lovely people who really make you feel welcome and the food is always great!

EXCELLENT Food and Service is second to none, Ali treats you like family. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic food excelant and friendly service

Amazing food, hot and on time. Great value for money. Thank you

absolutely amazing food as usual, top A1 quality 👌

First time here and it was absolutely fantastic. Delicious food and portions were excellent. Had the Garlic chilli chicken and they didn't skimp on the chicken. Dont get the family naan between only two of you, its flipping massive! Staff were great, very friendly and the service was also very quick. Couldn't recommend this place more

This restaurant is my favourite one by far. The staff are lovely, the atmosphere is delightful and the food is exquisite 🤌 Would definitely recommend

Absolutely amazing yet again. Came for our son's birthday and we're greated with a very friendly welcome from Ali and the team. Had a mixture of buffet and menu order and everyone was top quality. Buffet food was very hot (temperature wise not spice), full of flavour and lots to choose from as always. Menu dishes were excellent and well presented as well. All in all yet another brilliant visit and the best Indian restaurant for both food and friendly staff/atmosphere in Wakefield.
