The Royal Spice, Wakefield in Wakefield

6* *FIRST VISIT* Came here without a reservation and thankfully they had a table free which is a good thing since just after we arrived it got VERY busy, every table booked. This is without a doubt the best Indian food I've had in years, to say I was impressed is an understatement. The staff were friendly and helpful even though it got very busy. The food,though, was stunning, absolutely faultless, every starter and mains we had was gorgeous. Prices a little over average but worth every penny. This is definitely the best Indian in Wakefield and the best I've had anywhere in years. I'd highly recommend it but make sure to book to avoid disappointment. *Third visit* went for my birthday, group of 13, booked well in advance. The place is still the best Indian restaurant in Wakefield. We all had an amazing time.Food, Service and Prices were still brilliant. Special thanks to Ali who went above and beyond.Much appreciated. *Fourth visit* still gorgeous food, great service and good prices.

I have twice in here food is absolutely delicious and service is very good 👍 I will recommend anyone you should come and enjoy food and atmosphere

Sunday buffet in at 7 15 small choice of starters and main courses all cold the chicken korma ran out at 7 30 a lovely waitress asked for it topping up on my request then got told off by a stroppy and nasty waiter who told her she was costing them money I felt so uncomfortable as I asked for it topping up atmosphere very tense

Managers are way too rude to their staff. Don’t support this place

ordered 4 popodum. only had 3 but we're lovely. as was the order. really lovely

Starters were delicious, unfortunately the korma was watery and had little taste and the garlic naan was cold and stale

Wonderful best in Wakefield by far

Food and delivery excellent as always.

Always happy with delicious food!

the order took just under 2hrs to arrive from place of order rang the takeaway to see how long an just wanted to tell me another 15mins before it arrives to us not happy at all an some of the food was freezing cold

ordered a roghan josh but it was too hot to be that dish it was more like a vindaloo I did eat it but not what I ordered

Ordered a roghan josh was like eating a vindaloo

delivery was 1hr 30 mins chips cold pomadoms burnt

lovely hot food, delivered in quick time

Excellent restaurant friendly staff great food

Lovely meals. I will order again next time.

Lovely food everytime i’ve ordered from here.

We were really excited to try here but after waiting 90 minutes for our food, for it to arrive stone cold and congealed, we were so disappointed. We ordered early enough knowing a Friday night would most likely be busy, but still we were left disappointed.

everything was cold, he took more then w0 minutes to find my house , do you not use a sat nav , dinner in the bin

honestly that was inedible I live local so was hoping to like it and order again the dips were off some of the food was cold . all went in the bin.

Food was average and just about warm ! Won’t order from this restaurant again!

Great food great service wether I eat in or delivery

2 hours from ordering. Items wrong, missing and absolutely frozen.

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

food Best Indian had in a while

The curries are absolutely horrendous yesterday. The chicken korma was really runny like water and the chicken was really tough like it had been recooked (definitely not fresh) the tikka masala had no taste just pure spice. Chips undercooked. Will not be ordering from here again.

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

ordered a mild dish and it blew our heads off. really disappointed. everything was nice but we couldn't eat the main part.

amazing curries won't go anywhere else

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

Not one to complain as I use these a lot but everything was cold and not very nice , unfortunately that’s gone in the bin , very disappointed

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.

Ordered few time already. Great food.

it was cold. it was exceptionally poor value for money. at first I thought that they had forgotten half of it. never again

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

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

Lovely food every time. Always hot and never disappoints

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.

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

Favourite Indian in Wakefield by a mile

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.

Can’t beat the service or quality 👍

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.

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.

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.

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!

brilliant as always. thank you

My favourite food well done Royal Spice always perfect 👌

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

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 .

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.

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

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

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.

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 was hot, tasty and delivered quickly. Thanks.

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 👍

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

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

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

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 😊

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

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 🙁 !

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

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
