Royal India Restaurant

Namaste We had a $99 Groupon deal for 2. 2 entree's, 2 mains, rice, papadums, garlic nann bread and dessert. Plus 1 beer or wine each. Fantastic service, big size servings of beautiful and authentic food. We were offered a "doggy" bad for the left overs. Photos show.... Mixed entree - Tandoori Chicken, Samosa and Onion Bahji Samosas Lamb Korma Lamb Rogan Josh Do yourself a favour and book a table.

Some years ago, when I dined in, a waiter spilled half a bottle of my BYO Cab Merlot all over my guest. It was an accident, I forgave the waiter immediately - but my jaw dropped when they charged me corkage! Fast forward to tonight. I had finally gotten over the above incident and decide to order 1 beef vindaloo, a chicken korma and pulau rice for delivery. What arrived made my jaw drop again. Tiniest containers I have ever seen Indian food come in. They were so ridiculously small I just started laughing. It felt like a practical joke. Then I laughed harder when I saw they were each only 2/3 full. It was literally about 100g of curry in each container at a cost of $24 each. It was about 4 dessert spoonfuls' worth of each curry (we are talking standard, ordinary dishes here). This is not a Michelin restaurant. I wasn't laughing when I started eating. The tiny amount of beef in the tiny vindaloo (there were 6 tiny cubes that fit in 2 dessert spoons) was dry and cardboard-like. The Pulau had no sultanas contrary to what is advertised - just shrivelled peas and horribly crunchy raw carrot in ordinary yellow (turmeric?) rice. Suffice it to say it was very unpleasant to eat and I was left hungry after forking out $60. In short, this is the worst value Indian food I have ever ordered anywhere in the world hands down. In fact I think it is the worst value of any food I have ever ordered anywhere. $60 for a few mouthfuls of mediocre takeaway curry from a suburban Indian restaurant is such a rip off it was offensive. By the end of the meal, it wasn't funny anymore. I felt scammed. Maybe it's nicer when you dine in (you get the benefit of a lovely atmosphere inside when you aren't covered in wine.) But selling takeaway like this is thievery. One star for ripping me off.

I like the decor of this place, it's beautiful. The food is good. The best part is that they are mindful of customer request, they got me saffron rice when had peas in it, which I don't quite like, so they replaced the rice. As per our request they made the food spicy. The staff members are also good and complete professionals.

Would not recommend this place to anyone. We went as family to celebrate our anniversary, made reservations. The supervisor who was a rude lady put a trainee to serve us and had no courtesy . Trainee herself was a lovely girl but the supervisor was very rude and mannerless. Just put the napkin in my sons lap with one hand in a very rough manner( to teach the trainee). Maybe we were treated this bad because we were only the Indian family there. Food was also average in quality.

I’m Very disappointed last Friday 19 Nov2021, Me and my friend had dinner and I took away 2 butter chicken. when I got home I opened it and it was all burnt!!! for those who cook, if you know it's burnt, don't give it to the person who bought it.. here we pay not free very bad.. me and my friends will never go back to Royal Indian Restaurant.

One star for the naan and poori. The chicken vindaloo was watery and tasteless. Forget the taste, but diluted and soupy?! Chickpea masala was disintegrating- chalky and gritty! Tasted so old! Even the smell of the curries were so dull and appalling. Recent reviews are showing that this place is not like it used to be. $54 later for just two curries and 4 breads, very disappointing. Staff was friendly.
