  “Stopped by here for a mid week curry, it’s a big old place to be fair. Nice and quick drink order (it wasn’t overly busy being midweek) ordered some poppadoms and a chutney tray - this was a disappointment. The poppadoms were rancid, the oils in which these had been cooked in had obviously not been changed for quite some time - very disappointing. Equally as disappointing was the chutneys, bland with very little flavour. For my main I had a Chicken Tikka Pathia, it was tasty and I enjoyed it, the spice level just right, the only negative was the amount of chicken - it was measly. I don’t expect 3 chicken breasts worth, but literally 5 small chunks is pretty poor. Naan and rice were fine. A few little tweaks and I think there’s easy scope for improvements.”

  “Outstanding biryani - real depth of flavour and good amount of meat, with a superb veg curry. Naan, poppadoms & chutneys all good too. Staff were incredibly friendly and full of conversation (although it was a quiet Saturday evening). All in all, if you’re after a curry in Merthyr I’d say this is the place.”

  “Really welcoming staff, quick service. Food was great, usually not a fan when there’s too much curry gravy but these guys got the balance just right. I’ll be back when I’m next passing through!”

  “Today i had a delivery from red spice and it was wonderful. Me and my wife was starving and i was hesitant of having curry from outside, but eventually wanted to give redspice and it was perfect and phenomenal. I will come back here thousand times and definitely recommended.”

  “Tonight’s meal was the worst experience I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant. Booked table for 7, it took until 9 before we even got a poppadom and another 1/2 hr before a starter arrived even after I even wrote out the entire order for them. Service was the worst ever experienced and still had the cheek to try and charge full price. My advice give this place a miss.”

  “Four lads from Bristol on a hiking trip. Total punt to try Red Spice. Top three curries I've ever had. Outstanding. Managed to seat us within 5 minutes of calling. Waiter was a legend. Only thing I'd note is the "aquariums" bubbling away in the background are noisy-ish, but doesn't detract from conversation. Very reasonably priced too. If we're ever back over Merthyr way, will DEFINITELY be going back.”

  “The food here is delicious, hats off to the chef, the meat was perfectly cooked and nice and tender and the sauce was incredibly tasty. The only criticism is that the restaurant was cold and it took nearly an hour for the food to come to the table and we were the only customers in the building, the lady who took payment from us after the meal seemed to be in a mood and wasn’t very friendly either, seemed to scoff that we were paying by card . Small things like that can easily put people off guys. Overall though you are delivering top quality food, I’m a satisfied customer 👍🏻”
