I have recently dined inside this restaurant twice, and the food is absolutely spot on - delicious…read more I find eating in is always better than the take away service wherever we order from. We eat a lot of Indian food, and have used every restaurant and take away in the Borough and beyond. I can honestly say this is the best I have had in a very long time. The staff are so polite and can not do enough for you. For the high standard of food served I think the restaurant needs an update to improve the ambiance. Regardless of this, I can not fault it. They have also opened a restaurant in Dartford town centre where the Court house pub used to be, and I am looking forward to giving it a try. I know the interior gives a nice ambiance and if the food is as good as the Royal Tandoori then the restaurant will be a big success.

We started with some yummy cocktails and the okra fries which were delicious - if only okra always tasted this good. For mains, we shared the chicken tikka, black daal, paneer and garlic naan. Pretty standard Indian order. The chicken tikka was just too spicy and we weren't used to that so it went mainly eaten. My favorite was the black daal but again, it wasn't so amazing that I would go and have it again. Honestly the best dish we had was dessert - the basmati kheer is a perfect rice pudding with crème brûlée like topping. So good. Service was spotty, I constantly found myself trying to find our server or make eye contact with him. They were slammed on a Tuesday night (which I'm sure is the case every night) so that's probably just the way things are but it could've been better. Disappointed but willing to try again, also made me want to try some other Indian spots in London next.

Mia the owner greets all of his customers and will remember all of you names. The food is delicious and menu quite extensive. We have often had little extra side dishes bought up to our table for us to try. They are always experimenting with new food and value your opinions. After your gorgeous culinary experience, you will be presented with little glasses of Tia Maria and cream. We are always invited then by Mia to have another drink on the house. This is a large restaurant but most nights it is packed out. On Friday nights he has Elvis along to sing. At the end of the evening most people are up dancing. On Sundays there is a buffet but you can still order off the main menu. I totally recommend this place, you will be given a big warm welcome and then be in for a true curry feast. The prices are reasonable too. They do takeaways and you will always be offered a drink when you come to collect, there is a discount on takeaways. You must try this restaurant, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

It's great for a regular or special night out and can get packed so booking might well be necessary at weekends.

The sign said Take Away but down the stairs we found a very cute restaurant. They are going to change the sign! The new Owners took over about 6 weeks ago and have some great ideas. They might add the option of bringing your own wine etc. into the restaurant without the corkage fee. A great idea and we will try that next time around. For now we ordered take away and it was just great. I always have Lamb Korma, Basmati rice and Nan bread with mango sauce. It was excellent,. My old Mum had a chicken curry and it was a big step up from the meals on wheels she is using these days! My husband had a lamb curry and loved it too. We will definitely make Spice King our Indian restaurant when we are in Billericay. Thanks guys and good luck.
