Trust me when I say I am fussy when it comes to India food. After spending 5 months in India, I know how hard it is to get a good curry in the Uk especially with the right level and balance of spices. The Royal Garhwal looks like a very unassuming place from the outside, tucked away on Gillingham High Street but what a little gem it is! My partner and I agreed that this curry house just served up the most delicious Indian food we have ever eaten! Mango lassi was outstanding, I have never had one so good, I will dream about this one for a while to come. Poppadum's and the three dips were also an excellent way to start the meal, fresh mint, sweet mango and tasty tamarind dips. Then the spicy chicken lollipops, sticky, chewy, spicy and so moorish, delicious! The tandoori chicken wings held their own with a complex mix of spice and gentle heat, again yum yummy and generous portions of both. For the main my partner tried the Chicken Vindaloo, it was hot yet so well balanced and made you feel super warm and loved inside. I had the Goan King Prawn, you know the butterfly prawns that are extra large and juicy. The sauce was exquisite, again a beautiful balance of spice and warmth, not overly sweet or creamy. The pilau rice was as light and fluffy as a cloud and so flavourful. Our roti and naan bread was expertly made and all served piping hot. I drank still water after my lassi and my partner a lemonade and the bill came to £54 without a tip, now that's what I call value for money. Staff were friendly, attentive without being overly so and ensured our first visit was one to remember. We said we would go back with friends or at least grab a takeaway when we next need that curry hit!
Highly recommended and thank you for making our evening such a success, support your local business, we are lucky to have such a good restaurant in Medway, something...

If you’re craving bold flavors, fragrant spices, and a dining experience that truly celebrates Indian cuisine, Spice Symphony is a must-visit. Nestled in the heart of the city, this Indian restaurant delivers a flavorful journey across the subcontinent — from creamy North Indian curries to fiery South Indian specialties.
Ambience: Warm and inviting, the interior blends modern décor with subtle Indian accents.
Food: The menu is both extensive and well-curated. I started with the Hakka noddles , perfectly made it. After that we had paneer tikka offered a nice vegetarian option, grilled to perfection and smoky with just the right hint of char.
The garlic naan was fresh from the tandoor, soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the edges — the ideal vessel for mopping up sauces. And don’t skip dessert: the gulab jamun were warm, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
Service: Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to recommend dishes without being pushy. Food arrived promptly and was piping hot. They were also very accommodating with spice levels and dietary preferences.
Overall: Spice Symphony manages to strike the perfect balance between traditional Indian flavors and a modern dining experience. Whether you’re new to Indian cuisine or a lifelong fan, you’ll leave satisfied — and likely planning...
