NOT WHAT I EXPECTED, BUT, OKAY…read more The food is good - but when it comes to Indian food, I expect it to have some modicum of spice. This food had none. It was the blandest Indian food I have ever eaten. If you like the "idea" of Indian food, but no spice, you'll love this place. I thought maybe the garlic Naan would have some flavor, but sadly, it did not.

His pledge that if you are patient, you will be rewarded with an experience not to be forgotten and wow!! He certainly delivers that pledge with exquisite tasting food, amazingly attentive and friendly staff in a relaxed environment with good music.

What can I say about this place I am a great fan It is…read moresimply a takeaway but the food here is the best Indian I have ever tasted in the uk the only thing that comes close is in India itself. The chef is straight out of the top draw and all his staff are friendly and helpfull. If anyone is near Hatfield anytime and you want Indian food trust me you must go to the royal you won't regret it.

I have been to Ilaichi many times since it opened, and ok, the dishes tend to stay the same week to…read moreweek, but there is one reason in particular I love this restaurant so much.... It is outstandingly good for anyone with a food allergy/intolerance. My girlfriend, who lives in Florida, is gluten intolerant, and so when she came to stay this summer just gone it was very difficult to find restaurants that had any range of food that she could eat. However, at Ilaichi, every dish is individually labelled on the buffet, whether its dairy/gluten/nut free, and over 80% of the food was in fact gluten free! Even the onion rings, and my girlfriend had said that this was the first time she had been able to eat onion rings in three years. I gave Ilaichi four stars, only because their food stays the same from visit to visit, and some of it is just average in flavour. But most of it tastes pretty good for being out on a buffet for a few hours! Also their range of foods is excellent, covering Indian, Chinese, Italian, Mexican, and with a salad and dessert bar.

Ate here on a Friday night (around 8pm) before going to the nearby cinema with a friend. £13.99 per…read moreperson for the buffet - not the cheapest but depending on your appetite you can get your monies worth! Minimalist interior design but airy - not as big as I would have expected. Prompt service and attentive waiters - it wasn't that busy so I didn't really feel pressurised to eat up and get out like at some buffet restaurants. Varied selection of foods ranging from pizza, chips, salads, chicken nuggets to selected Chinese, Mexican and Indian dishes. There was also a dessert buffet with cakes, fruit and ice creams. Even the most fastidious eater (and children) should find something to eat here. As a previous reviewer remarked, allergen information provided for dishes. But, as with everywhere, drinks were a bit pricy. If you're in the vicinity and looking for bulk and no frills, this place will do the job - no problem. I would go again and certainly would consider going with a group of friends. The establishment currently has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good). See http://bit.ly/TDT475 I'll give it 4 stars: just thought it was a tad bit pricy. No complaints with the food, though.

The prices are average, certainly not the most expensive Indian restaurant I have visited in Hatfield. The location is tucked away in a quiet part of Hatfield so I have never had to wait for a table or had to suffer from crowds of drunken diners later in the evening as I have with some town centre places.

The momos here are delicious!! We ordered steamed veg momos, kothey (steamed and then fried) beef…read moremomos, and veg curry. I preferred the fried beef momos for the texture and flavor! I liked the steamed momos but thought the veg filling was too soft for my liking. The curry was good but sadly way too spicy for me. The restaurant had a small seating area and more of a self-service feel. One of us saved our seats, while the other went up to the counter to order. The servers brought out the food item by item as soon as each one was ready. One of the servers kindly asked us if we were done with our meal if they could give our seats to the next people in line. We were more than happy to since the space was small. I highly recommend House of Momo!!

Especially for the price, the chili noodle (£7.50) and the steamed momo (£6) was quite filling (plus 12.5% charge for dine-in), but it's a bit too greasy and not as spicy as I expected. It wasn't crowded when I ordered, but the indoor space filled up as I was finishing up. Would definitely come back to try their other options.
