Reviews for Royal Spice Fine Indian Cuisine in Victoria, BC

The service was great. Our server was kind and patient as I fumbled on my words a number of times to order. The food. THE FOOD!... The food was fantastic. We ordered Shahi Paneer, and Lamb Spinach Curry, both were presented over a candle holder to keep thefood warm during the meal (love it!). Shahi Paneer has been my steady favourite for years, and Royal Spice made some of theBEST. The lamb spinach curry was also amazing, I was expecting to take most home (which usually happens) but it didn't make itthat far, it ended up being eaten the fastest (I couldn't even get a picture before it was gone). We also ordered TandooriChicken, which came out smoking and sizzling on a skillet, and it was really good too, I personally wasn't a fan of the way thepieces were cut which made it a bit awkward to eat, but that didn't stop it from being just as delicious as the otherdishes. We ordered Stuffed Choley Bhatura to go, and now I have to make sure I can afford to get that every time because it wasSO GOOD and that was as a leftover! (The sauce was great cold too) We ordered a medium heat level when asked, and I didn't findit any spicier than.. say.. "Nandos Peri Peri" sauce (in fact, the peri peri was likely spicier) with a slow heat that builtslightly over time. Most other places on the island avoid adding any spicy flavours when I order more than "mild" (though it'sunderstandable why), so I'm glad that they put in some heat with medium, and now I'm excited to try the higher heat levels nexttime! PS: Oh, and of course the Chai tea was spectacular as well :) Read more

I'm in love for this restaurant. The food tastes amazing. My favorite plate is the Gobhi Garlic. They have amazing options of... curry and bread. If you are vegan go there. Read more

We dined here twice during our stay in Victoria. It's located about 3km from the city center, but it's worth the drive. Parking... is available in the front. It can get quite busy as locals frequent this place for dine in and take out. We ordered differentcurries with spice level "hot". There was a lunch buffet till 3:00 pm, but we ordered from the menu try different spice levels. Read more

Have not been able to find an Indian restaurant as good as Royal Spice in Vancouver! My partner and I come to Victoria a few... times a year and we always make a point to get Royal Spice. We normally order delivery but today we dined in the restaurant. Itwas as delicious as always. Everything came out hot, fresh, and fast. I could not stop eating the onion bhajia, definitelyrecommend as a starter. All the portions are huge and the prices are great. For less than $40 we eat until we can’t anymoreand we still have a meal each for the next day. It wasn’t the cleanest restaurant I will say, but it didn’t bother me muchbecause I know how good the food is here. Read more

Amazing Food ! We ordered daal, saag paneer, bhartha and stuffed Parantha , food was mouthwatering and the staff was courteous

We were a large group ordered lot of food items.Normally when we as a large group goes to dine, there are 1-2 items which are... not upto the mark just because of pressure on kitchen team. This restaurant amazed us with their food.Everything that we orderedwas so so goood.I wish them all the best.Remarkable food experience Read more

I had never been to Royal Spice before and decided to stop in for lunch when I was shopping on the area. Friendly staff... explained how the buffet worked and the food was amazing! 14 dollars for all you can eat is a pretty great deal. So manyvegetarian options, and it was busy and well-staffed. Nice for a quick lunch! Read more

A pleasant surprise! Full flavours, full portions, and for a great price! Kids menu items are excellent - big and yet still... unique with the butter chicken poutine and masala fries. My wife and I shared the pomegranate curry - plenty for us both (pluseating what the kids counted finish). Salad was also a large portion and very fresh with a hint of spice added. We were stayingacross the road at the hotel and gave this a try - will remember this place! Read more
