Quick info
About Royal Spice Restaurant & Catering
On Smith St in Coventry, Royal Spice Restaurant & Catering is a Punjabi restaurant serving on a walk-in basis. The Aloo Pyaz Paranthe stands out for proper Punjabi taste, and the kitchen also turns out Aloo Kulcha and Paneer Kulcha, both well-stuffed. Curries include lamb, chicken, and butter chicken, while paneer tikka and chicken tikka are often ordered as a pair alongside plain naan and pilau rice. Amritsari naan and paratha round out the bread options, and Masala Chai is a regular order, poured with a homestyle "ghar wali" feel. Breads sent back for a second order can take a while to arrive at busier times.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the aloo paranthe and aloo kulcha as the standouts, with the paneer tikka, chicken tikka, and butter chicken also drawing praise alongside pakode and masala chai. Most describe the flavours as authentic Punjabi cooking, with staff frequently called friendly and helpful, including one account of a kitchen preparing an off-menu dish for a child. A near-regular visitor rates the food consistently strong across repeat trips, though they found the Chinese offerings weaker. Complaints center on slow service, particularly with bread re-orders taking a long time, and one reviewer describes waiting 55 minutes for food. One reviewer reports the washrooms were dirty and unmaintained on both sides, and one reviewer describes severe food poisoning after eating there, also alleging discounts are offered in exchange for reviews. Several note the décor and atmosphere are simple or in need of improvement despite the food.

“Very poor service. We had to wait 55 minutes just to get our food. The food quality was terrible, and unfortunately all of us ended up with severe food poisoning afterward. Also, don't be misled by the positive reviews. They offer a 5% discount in exchange for leaving a review.”

“Royal Spice offers an absolutely amazing dining experience, with flavors that come remarkably close to authentic Indian cuisine. The food quality and taste are outstanding and truly stand out—there is simply no comparison when it comes to the flavor, and authenticity of the dishes. The service is excellent, with a friendly and attentive team that makes you feel welcome throughout your visit. The atmosphere is pleasant and comfortable, creating an enjoyable dining experience. While the current ambiance is good, there is still some scope for improvement. A few enhancements to the interior and overall décor could make the restaurant even more appealing and elevate the experience to the next level. Overall, Royal Spice is highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Indian flavors in the UK. Great food, great service, and a wonderful dining experience!”
