Walton Spice — Restaurant in Reigate and Banstead

Please do waste your money even trying! I live local, but have never used this Indian restaurant. I looked online and the reviews were better than the next closest restaurant as well as having a good hygiene score, so decided to order our takeaway from here on a Saturday evening. This is where the positives end. I walked in to collect and there was an awful odour coming from somewhere/someone. Then when I got home I didn’t mention the odour to my husband, as didn’t want it to spoil the thought of the food for him. He opened the biryani, and said it was a bit cold but everything else was hot. I then tasted the biryani and found it incredible dry, normally our go to dish and this was by far the worst we’d ever experienced. I refused to eat it. Moving on to the nan bread, completely stale and the chicken tikka masala no better, we both refused to eat any of it and again worst I’ve ever experienced. I was so unimpressed (hangry!) I didn’t have the energy to go back and complain, nor did I want to smell the odour again. Will just vote with my feet, and I suggest you all think twice...

Disappointed, very bland in taste, nothing like the previous time we ordered a takeout. I could not tell you the difference from the Madras and the Rogan Josh. All the dishes were too oily. The lamb bhuna, rice and onion Bhaji was the only part of the order worth eating. They need to use more Indian spices to bring more flavour to the dishes and cut the meat slightly smaller to help tenderise in texture. Finally the saag paneer wasn’t fresh or over cooked and again so bland. I’m sorry to leave this review but things cost so much these days and it just wasn’t worth the money I...

Really enjoyed the meal at Walton Spice (think it used to be called Walton Heath Tandoori) and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is now a BYOB restaurant so you need to bring your own beers and wines etc, great option to have and the corkage is free. I like the atmosphere inside the restaurant and the food all tasted very good and freshly prepared. Lamb tikkka was excellent as were the curries and dall that we had. Overall lovely dinner, BYO option gives you much more choice of what to drink and saves money, I’ll be back...
