The best restaurants serving Indian food in Tunbridge Wells South East

I think this place might have a Michelin star and it’s quite good. The server recommended that we get the Kerala beef and I think that was a fantastic idea. It was her favourite dish of the night is an appetizer by the way the other dishes we got were the eggplant which was far too spicy for me and a chicken curry, which I liked a lot. The flavour was great. I would go again and definitely get the beef as well as the roti.

My first visit, so, being the fussy person I am, I can not immediately give it 5 stars. Warm welcome. we were early Saturday evening, so it was quiet. We had popperdoms to start the lime pickle was very nice. As its the first visit we had starters calamari and lamb kebab. The mains were delightful. The mushroom rice was the best I have had anywhere. The aloo gobi was also a treat. The wife had a deshi dish and I tried the gurka bothered tasted fresh although my wife would have preferred more "heat" I liked the fresh taste and the heat from the chilli's and not from a paste! They offered extra chilli 🌶 for my wife but the taste was excellent. So we didn't need it. Would I go again, certainly. I would probably not have the kebab starter but that's again just my choice not because it wasn't nice. I am looking forward to visiting again. Thank you for a loverly meal.

We had a fabulous evening, 24 of us enjoyed the superb food, efficient, friendly service and excellent value for money. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Always great food and service. Take out or eat in. Delicious Great quality flavours and selection. Atmosphere was buzzy. See you again soon

What can I say this place is fantastic! The staff were really welcoming and the food was stunning. Very reasonable for the price and a single portion enough for two! I will definitely be back!

We had a takeaway tonite 02/01/2025 and was not good at all a month ago we had a great one but last 2 times not been great. I dunno if chef changed but I don’t think I will be coming back in a rush which is a shame as used to be our favourite in Tunbridge wells

I've given you a rubbish review on atmosphere as the delivery guy handed over the curry, I gave him the tip, but honestly the atmosphere was, at best, transactional. V polite but I wouldn't saythere was an atmosphere. But Sweet Jesus the chicken Balti was an absolute triumph. First and foremast, your FSA rating (5* when I last checked) but you guys have got it. This was superb.

Nice food, but hardly anybody there , and it was a Friday evening

More than half our order was missing , we had to do a 40 min round trip to collect a new order. The rice had pieces of unidentified items in it and there was no apology forthcoming

Excellent grill and dhansak sauce was top notch. Excellent meal as always!!!!!

great service and prompt/early delivery.

Late back home one night and couldn't be bothered so ordered a curry. I normally will go to the same place, but decided I would try somewhere new. The food was ok. Not amazing, just ok. The flavours could have been ramped up a bit more( in fact a lot more )and the amount of meat was definitely lacking. The lemon rice was pretty bland and the popadoms certainly didn't have the same flavour or crunch( maybe it was cooked in a different oil).It did turn up quicker than was predicted though. And it was hot. All in all slightly disappointing.

Staying in an Airbnb 5 minutes away so I popped in last night to grab some food to eat back at the cabin. Friendly staff. My home town is full of Indians and they are all very disappointing. Tried this place on the off chance and we were very happy. Well cooked, incredibly well priced. If you’re in the area - stop by!

UPDATE: This is not Royal Spice anymore, we ordered take away from this place now called Spice Fusion and has nothing to do with Royal Spice standards, unfortunately we are not ordering from this place anymore. Absolutely delicious food! The chicken tikka balti is phenomenal with lots of fresh coriander. This is my go to in Tunbridge Wells when I want a curry.

Just got a takeaway and honestly the chicken was inedible. I think cooked & refrozen (and then cooked again). Whatever the cooking process, it’s not good. Weird freezer-burn taste and tough. I’ve been there once before & it was the same. Tried tonight as my couldn’t get to my usual takeaway as the A21 is closed. Was persuaded by some recent good reviews - curry houses have bad nights etc. Food is quite 90’s - sweet packet-derived sauces etc. Don’t mind that too much as takeaway is more about a night off. But the chicken. Guys come on - just cook it fresh. People have taste buds and I think value their health. given we’re in lockdown you can’t rely on a hoard of smashed idiots (me in non-lockdown) falling in to your curry house. Should be one star really. Staff are really nice so feel bad about putting this here. However, I’ll be the first to come back if you start cooking nice meals. You are after all the only curry house in cranbrook. However keep producing crap like I’ve just eaten and you’ll go bust.
