An absolute must, ordered from here two weekends in a row while staying nearby. Delicious. Garlic naan and spinach paneer are a must. Lots of vegetarian options. Call to order early on the weekends, they get busy!

We would once drive a considerable distance to partake in the previously delicious curry's and moreover sing the praise of this establishment to anyone; however today we went for our favourite dishes and were disappointed to discover that they were average at best. The boat has sailed for us and we won't be bothering to order from here again. It is a shame as once this was a magnificent curry house.

We ordered a range of dishes as a family of four, including a vegetable biriani, chicken naga, tandoori king prawn and a chicken tikka mosssalla. On the whole, we were very impressed, particularly after visiting Thariks Tandoori which we found to be incredibly bland. The naga, bhajis qnd biriani were outstanding. Full of flavour, non-greasy and the chicken well-cooked and tender. The mossalla was also good but noticeably over-salted (and I prefer my dishes on the salty side; this was just too much and to the detriment of the other delicious flavours in the dish). The rice and naan were a little nondescript but forgivable given the quality of the mains. I loved the fact that you can see the kitchen, which was clean and well organised. Apart from the saltiness of the mossalla, this would have been a 5 star review.

I decided to indulge in an Indian tonight, having previously been disappointed by another establishment I chose The Royal Spice and WOW I was NOT disappointed! I originally ordered the wrong dish but the service was great and the chef cooked up the most fabulous tikka right in front of me! The food was amazing, the staff were very friendly and I will definitely be going back to The Royal Spice in the future!

We recently sampled a takeaway from the Royal Spice after moving to the area and it was a huge success. Food was fresh, well spiced and absolutely delicious. The onion bhajis were to die for and the main courses were sensational. The lamb tikka dopiaza was a particular highlight - so tender and lovely, unlike any I've had before! Friendly staff and the food was ready in around half and hour which is very respectable given the quality. We will be (and have already been) back!

We chose to support the Royal Spice during the Covid-19 outbreak and applaud them for overcoming the hurdle they face. We normally eat with The Ganges just across the road and will continue to do so after this disastrous meal. I was greeted with a rude young man front of house who did not acknowledge me entering the takeaway, after about five minutes of waiting I was served, I had already queues outside in line with their Social Distancing requests. Halfway through my order being bagged I was asked if I was happy for another customer to enter the shop. I replied “No” the shop is very small and it breached the Royal Spice’s own policy. I was then told to leave so the other customer could be dealt with. All the while my meal was sat on their work top. I’m finally allowed back in and my wait continues, the aforementioned staff member then threw my order onto the counter for me to collect, no “There you are” or “Thank you”-just blank nothing.I got the meal home. Greasy, bland and overpriced summarises the curry very well. Do not order the King Prawns! I have seen larger prawns in a service station sandwich.I had also ordered their Sheek Kebab-I was put off this part of my meal by the fact that I had seen one of the chefs remove these from the skewer with a very dirty tea towel. This same tea towel was then used to wipe around their hob and Naan cooking appliance.Bad service, poor food and questionable food hygiene! Eat here with caution!

Korma and Tikka masala were good tasty meals. However, a couple of the dishes were very oily and ruined the meal. Please refer to pictures. I have tried contacting regarding a refund but this is difficult, as they do not have an email. I’m going to use Ganges from now on.

Says an awful lot!Food delicious and freshly prepared, Kitchen is open to the customers view, which I think is genius, and it’s spotless. It’s very much the best in the area! A solid 10/10

We had picked up a nice bottle of wine and decided to dine in at the hotel. We ordered a variety of dishes including chicken tikka, aloo chana, chana paneer, pillou rice, peshwari naan, chicken Rogan Josh, and chicken Madras. The vegetable dishes were tasty and delicious, and the chicken curries had a great flavour but the chicken had been pre cooked making it taste old. The service was very friendly and accommodating and they even let us borrow a couple of glass plates which we returned after we finished our meal.
