Royal Spice

Royal Spice is the Indian takeaway on Main Street in Breaston, the small Erewash village on the Derbyshire-Nottinghamshire border between Long Eaton and Borrowash. It sits in the central village parade and handles the evening curry trade for Breaston and the surrounding stretch of A6005 commuter villages.

The board runs the standard Indian curry-house list — chicken tikka masala, balti, korma, jalfrezi, biryani, with tandoori starters and the expected vegetarian section. It is halal. Reviews on Just Eat and Restaurantji are mixed but generally favourable, with regulars singling out the speed of delivery and the heat of the food at the door. The shop scored a 3 from Erewash Borough Council on its most recent food-hygiene inspection — a mid-rating that is worth flagging without overstating it. There is no dine-in; collection and short-range delivery into Breaston, Draycott and the Borrowash side are what the operation is built around. Trading is evenings only and the kitchen pushes later on Friday and Saturday for the after-pub trade from the Bull's Head and the Navigation Inn down on the canal.
