A lovely Indian right around the corner from Kilkenny Castle. The food was gorgeous. There is the option to change the spiciness of your meal, just ask the server. The staff were very nice and the restuarant although packed was relaxed. Super clean toilets! Only down side for me is lack of spirits. Beer and wine served only.

Food was spicy as well as flavorful. I love good Indian (and Bangladesh) food and this ranks among the very best. Our waiter was Eoghan, and he was terrific! Would highly recommend.

Tasted the madras and jalfry, both dishes were amazing. The madras was probably the nicest one I've ever had! Both are marked as hot on the menu and are perfect level of hotness. Our waiter was very helpful and the service was top notch. The wine is pretty pricey but overall I loved the place. Will definitely be back and... More

As a regular eater of Indian food I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised with Royal Spice Indian. It was from start to finish the perfect dining experience. I can say that my starter (royal spice selection) was the finest starter I have ever eaten in any restaurant. The food was cooked to my preference (mild-medium-hot) regardless... More

Next door to hotel and was very very good, Service fast, food really good, Varied menu, good wine. Their seasoning was a bit different but good. Friendly, unassuming and not that expensive. Location great.

We decided on this restaurant had we had heard lots if good things about it. The atmosphere was great staff lovely. I think spice wise that the restaurant catered for maybe a softer palate and we found the dishiest lacked heat that we get from curries in Australia. Lovely food though but if you like your Indian with a kick... More
