When we arrived we were asked to wait while they answered the phone to take a take away order, not a good start. The food overall was good but one main course was bland and the Dahl was really watery and I mentioned this to the waiter and he said he wouldn't charge me for it. I also had to... More

Beautiful food with a beautiful atmosphere. We weren't rushed out like some restaurants and stayed as long as we pleased finishing our wine off even after we'd finished our meal.. Staff were extremely pleasant and did everything they could to help. As it was the bank holiday they were extremely busy and so there was a little bit of a... More

The food here is much better than your average good Indian Restaurant. Its fresh, tasty, quality food. The price is not bad, the service is excellent and the location is right in the centre of kilkenny. We had a great night at Royal Spice and I can't wait to go back.

I dined here for the second time on a Saturday night, and again it was fantastic. Everything about this place impresses- but the food is excellent. We shared the starter platter, I had the best lamb jalfrezi in a long time. We ate a Keema nan too and it was superb. The staff were professional too- it certainly is refreshing... More
