Great first impressions for a Indian restaurant with already good reviews.
This was my first time here and certainly could see why the reviews were so good.

From the service to the meal myself and a friend could not find fault I can honestly say one of the best Indian meals to date and certainly will be returning in the future.

Absolutely superb restaurant. The menu was fascinating with new and old dishes. My wife chose golgappas and then everyone tried them as they were so delicious. All of the food was excellent. Whilst we were far too full to try a dessert, again a fabulous choice. Highly recommended.

We ordered a takeaway, as a result of a family recommendation, which arrived hot and promptly. That's the good news, now for the bad. We ordered two Kurmas, and the chicken was tough and overcooked. The pilau rice came in a glutinous block, and the onion bhajis were far too spicy with little real flavour. I'm afraid we didn't enjoy our meal.

We have been visiting this restaurant for many years now . We always enjoy the food and service. The staff are friendly and attentive. Always feel very welcome. Food is well presented and delicious . Viv will recommend dishes if you want to try something new.
We will travel from Eastbourne to collect our takeaways too. The royal is our favourite Indian restaurant by far .
Thank you to Viv and his team for.
