Service ok Naan ok But vegetables and chicken poor quality, poor taste and stale food read more

While on our way to find a totally different restaurant, we saw Royal Indian was open so we changed plans. Walk up a small staircase to a cozy eating area which felt intimate and private. Ordered the Butter Paneer and Veggie Korma. Both were well flavored and the portion sizes were large Best part is that we were also able to take away our leftovers - yeah, we were those people - so the Mr got to enjoy a midnight snack because it was too good to leave behind Service was quick and our split decision to stop in, paid off very well read more

Quiet a big menu with decent options. There is good enough space for the seating in this narrow street. Food we tried was Mutton Biryani which was ok so maybe try another biryani to see if its good and Paneer tikka Masala was good but has lot of color but has decent flavor and roti was good. In summary decent food to try once read more

The Good: Restaurant was clean, the servers were nice and the bathroom was also clean. The Bad: Honestly the worst Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken in my life. The reason why was the gravy in both dishes tasted like cream and that's it. It had a warm heavy whipping cream flavor with pieces of chicken. We were all shocked because we didn't expect both dishes to be so flavorless. The Garlic Naan portion size was good but it also didn't taste good. I can not recommend this restaurant based on how bad those two dishes were. I would not come back again. read more

Food and service was very nice. We thought everything was tasty too. The veggie combo plate was perfect to split for two, which also came with warm Naan bread. The service was excellent as well. Our server was friendly, kind and attentive. read more

Great service, nice ambiance, and very good food. What else can you ask for? My only minor complaint would be the two air freshener devices they had in the room that sprayed out something every few minutes. Not overpowering, but I don't think it was needed and a little annoying. We had the butter chicken, chicken tiki masala, chicken madras, bhindi bhajee (okra), and nan. They gave us a cheese nan and two veggie sampler starter dishes (5-6 different things, all very good) on the house. All of the food was very good, zero complaints! I strongly recommend you stop by if in the area. read more

I was strolling along the street looking for a dinner inspiration when I walked by this place and smelled the inviting fragrance of curry. I ordered the veg samosa appetizer and for dinner, Lamb Curry and Garlic Naan. Everything was superbly delicious, served piping hot and full of flavor. Great service and comfortable ambiance. And I loved the little complimentary Chocolate covered ice cream bar for dessert. What a great way to start off my Brussels visit! read more

Overall we liked the food. Fish vindaloo was extremely spicy, even for someone like me who loves spicy food. My friend's masala was just right. Everything was ordered a la carte as is common in Europe. I didn't notice any difference between the butter naan and the rutti, but they were great with the sauce. The restaurant was cozy and clean, the service was also good. Everything cost about €50 read more

Ordered butter chicken and chicken madras. Food was quite good. Service was odd, didn't feel welcome. Also, kept pouring our drinks short. Ambiance was nice, cozy spot with nice decor. read more

Don't be fooled by the 5-star reviews on Google. This place has so many things fishy about it that it's hard to know where to start so I'll just pick one and go from there. I ordered my favorite Indian food, palak paneer. The picture they show on the placard outside the restaurant looked like normal palak paneer so nothing seemed weird until it came to my table. The predominant color of this palak paneer was not green; it was beige or yellow. It looked like the paneer had possibly been mashed or scrambled or blended, but it tasted like eggs. My best guess from what I ate is that this was really some blend of possibly paneer with tofu and/or eggs. Whatever it was it was the worst I've had and not normal. The person I was with ordered chicken curry (which is really more like chicken kadhai but they don't have that on the menu), and that was ok. The dal soup barely had any dal (lentils) in it (though it was good, just not as described). My friend ordered the house wine which he described as "salty" and could not pinpoint any type of wine it could have been (though he usually can). Every table around us was asked at some point "I'm sorry to ask, but can you please pay cash?" This was a crock. They can accept card (we paid with card), so I didn't understand why they were asking tables to pay cash (it's a crowded atmosphere so you hear all conversations nearby). One table by us said it's probably to avoid paying taxes, which makes sense to me. I originally thought their card reader must be broken, but it clearly wasn't since they let us pay with card. For the table beside us though, they actually told them they could go to an ATM outside if they didn't have enough cash. This makes no sense to me; if they can read a card, why not allow people to pay with card? It's very fishy and I find myself landing back at the word "scam" when I am remembering this meal as a whole (hence why I'm writing this review). A couple other bizarre things happened when we first sat down, which I wrote off as being just quirky and not related to anything suspicious (why be suspicious when a restaurant has a 5-star google review with over 1k reviews, right?). But when we first sat down, a seemingly nice couple (soft spoken guy, slightly louder woman) was there, and the woman said loudly to the man that she was not going to wait to ask for their money back. Unrelated, when we sat down the waiter put pretzels and butter crackers out to eat. This is not remotely Indian and should have been a warning. Also the couple next to us sent something back because they didn't like it. I could write off one of these things happening at a highly rated restaurant, but all of them would not happen in a single night. Don't waste your time being fed sub-par Indian food, asked to pay cash for no reason, and herded like cattle next to strangers to eat. It's not even average Indian food quality. Go somewhere else. I will say, the staff seemed nice enough, but I can't get over the sliminess / audacity of them asking tables to pay cash when they have the capability to read cards. That screams bad actor. Go elsewhere. Adding one more thing. While we ate, there was a vacuum cleaner just feet from us. That's really weird, and not a great dining experience (not horrible, but not expected of a great restaurant). read more

If you have babies /children, stay away from this restaurant! We were made to feel very unwelcome - the staff is unfriendly and inconsiderate - we we were made to regret choosing this restaurant. Came here with our 1 year old for lunch. As soon as we came in, the staff kept giving us stares, and even told us the baby will disturb others when he was just playing with a spoon. Throughout the time we were there we felt like we were on watch. The food tasted alright but took almost 25 minutes to come out. Terrible terrible terrible experience - stay away. read more

The waiter was very nice with our group. We sat outside to enjoy the perfect weather. They gave us some papadam(not sure of the spelling) and two dips while waiting for our orders. It reminds of me dinner at my friend's house cos it was as good. As a starter, we ordered the Paneer Pakora (4pcs) and damn was it delicious. I took a mango lassi but was disappointed by the intensity of sweetness, it was just too much and I was just able to drink half of it. My meal was a lamb stew with coriander and garlic naan. The portions were perfect for me (i still had to get take out cos I couldn't finish it). I love Indian food so I'm used to the hot and spicy flavors but this one needed some work. At first taste, it was bland so I added some salt which made it better. However, it was still not spicy as I was expecting. Overall, it was a good dish (probably adapted to foreign tastebuds) and a great lunch. I would probably not keep coming back to this place cos it's not that impressive but if I want some Indian food, I could try here again. read more

Royal Indian Restaurant - Garlic naan and Lamb stew (forgot the name) - Indian Near Me - Brussels, BRU

The only reason this place deserves one star is because of the server. He was very nice and really good. The food was not good. We ordered chicken biryani and shrimp scampi masala. The chicken biryani was bland and had no taste. There were no spices. I had to add salt to it. Chicken was bland and lacked flavor as well. The shrimp scampi masala was basically water dipped in food coloring. Also the chicken is the only thing that's halal. read more
