Looking like Del Boy's local Indian crossed with the living room of your first grandparent to die,…read morethe Royal Tandoori is in such a mundane location, sandwiched between a newsagents and post office, that I often forget it's there, despite having lived in the neighbourhood all my life. Inside, the decor is weirdly dated. It really does feel like stepping back into the seventies, especially as trendier and glossier eateries continue to open up along Smithdown, enticing the students in without a second thought. The staff here are friendly but the curry was less than satisfying and I just felt strangely depressed for having shown up. I'm really sorry Royal Tandoori. Please stop looking at me with those puppy dog eyes.

A curry at the Royal is a seminal moment in any self-respecting student's time in Liverpool. Whilst…read moreit's most certainly not a glamorous establishment, this restaurant provides great value, tasty curries in the heart of the city's student district. Located on Smithdown Road, the Royal is the best place to go to line your stomach before a night on the tiles. The chicken tikka masala is superb and they offer a good selection of drinks to wash it all down with. My only criticism would be that the staff sometimes appear a little surly. However, the fact that they have to put up with a load of drunk and noisy students may have something to do with it! The best indian restaurant in Liverpool...perhaps! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

The bar is situated in this side with the buildings interiors in all its glory. The main seating is through the bar and build in a more modern setting. Very well set out. High end tables and posh. Food is in a league of its own. The duck for starter and the mix platter is what we started with. Lush and full of flavour. Obviously this is with the poppadoms and dips. For mains I asked for something with a madras level heat and what he would recommend. I had something that wasn't on the menu but was a local curry to one of the chefs origins. This was amazing an explosion of flavour with the right amount of heat. The other half's meal was equally as tasty. Sides were just as good. Far too much for us to finish. We were stuffed after this with no room left for desert. :-( Great meal with drinks to accompany in the perfect setting for a couple to have a quiet romantic evening. Well recommended.

There is an incredible range of different indian styles of cooking and The Cottage appears to cover them all, from mild and unbelievably aromatic to "burn your wig off" strong. The drinks selection is very limited, but not bad for a restaurant, but..... This is where we went wrong. The last time I had a meal here, we took some of our children for a birthday meal and paid out over £120 for just a few of us. This is OK in central London or any equivalent city, but not in a quiet part of Warrington! To summarise, I would recommend this to anybody who really enjoys indian food and especially curries, but be prepared to pay for the experience. Just an "extra"; There is a plaque on the outer wall stating that Oliver Cromwell "stayed near here" when planning a lot of his campaigns during the civil war. The truth is vague, he definitely stayed in the "Spotted Leopard Inn", but nobody knows where exactly that was in this street. The Cottage, in the 1900's was the directors dining room for management from Rylands Wireworks which used to be next door, where now stands a huge Sainsbury's and its carpark!

Rajah Indian restaurant is not the best Indian eatery have visited in Liverpool but then again it…read moreis not exactly the worst either. This place was closed for a year and I am told it had a poor reputation but things seem to have improved since the refurbishment although it is still not top notch. The decor is average and at least the place is clean but it is hardly the most impressive place to eat a meal in. The staff are friendlier than most places in this area and this is certainly something which works in there advantage. The food itself is average and is nothing to really shout about but then again you would hardly label it the worst meal in the world so it all levels out. I wouldn't recommend this place as somewhere special to eat more likely somewhere you would go after the pubs chuck you out.

Standardization has its advantages and disadvantages. Advantage of having a bog standard Indian…read morerestaurant with a standard name like "Rajah Indian" (Oh please..what a rubbish and unoriginal name) is that the customer pretty much knows what they can get and what to order from the menu. It's a comfort zone choice. Disadvantage is that it can become, for foodies at least a tad boring and unoriginal. Despite the fact that the I wasn't impressed too much. However I did enjoy the Korma, pilau rice and peshwari naan, but I was hungry and deep down I knwo I've had better. One cannot however fault the service which was quick, and you don;t need me to tell you that the place isn't expensive dining out experience. They do also ofer takeaway service, and it seemed that the place has been refurbished not too many blue moons ago. Conclusively the place was A-ok, so if you are in the mood for an A-ok meal by all means check it out, otherwise try a different option.
