Low quality food, very expensive. £17.50 for what felt like Lidl ready meal warmed up. Not impressed. Service staff were attentive and friendly. The menu sounded good on paper, just the quality and price let it down unfortunately. Wouldn’t recommend.

Eaten here a few times, and had takeaway once. Food is always so tasty and fresh, with lots of different flavours and Persian spices. The food is presented really well too. Even takeaway is packaged and presented really well and tastes amazing. They're all vegetarian dishes (with option to be vegan) but all with the right balance of salt, sweet and umami. Some restaurants treat the vegetarian option as a meat dish and just take away the meat, but not here, you don't feel like anything is missing on the plate and it's full of flavour and you feel satisfyingly full afterwards. The menu changes by season and they have a specials board, so there's always something new to try. The service is always amazing, friendly smiley staff, they always ask about allergies (and can make most dishes vegan, nut free or gluten free), they can explain the dishes well if you ask and you're not waiting ages to order or to pay at the end. The dining area is small, cozy and uniquely Cafe Roya! Previously when I've been, they've had a bottle collection along the wall, this time the table was sort of on a landing upstairs, so the stairs were in the middle of the dining area, without being overly bright and not at all drafty or too warm. This gives the dining experience a special and unique atmosphere, which I really like and I can't wait to go again!

Another fabulous meal at Cafe Roya which never fails. We just caught the Feb menu for a birthday celebration and had a lovely evening. The menu is so creative and the blend of spices and ingredients makes the eating experience amazing. This has to be the best restaurant in Nottingham (and we have eaten in many of them!) Great service, great atmosphere, great evening.

The food was brilliant. Everything was vegetable-focused and wholesome but without feeling "health food"-y. It was just genuine, tasty, classy veggie food. Service was very good, the ambience was warm - you could come for a romantic evening or as a family. I would recommend Cafe Roya to anyone - especially as so many vegan and vegetarian restaurants are struggling to stay open now.

We absolutely love coming here, the menu is always different and exciting, the ingredients used are second to none and the service is excellent. We regularly come with our son and on both occasions the chef has created something for him either something on the menu or a new creation! I had the most interesting dessert that reminded me of my travels in India, we will be coming back regularly.

Cafe Roya is delightful. If you want to go somewhere really special where they genuinely care about food and people then go here. The food is absolutely delicious, the restaurant is intimate, cosy and sweet. They pay so much attention to detail. Very ethical too - you can see from where they source their drinks, ingredients… it’s a real gem. Thank you.

We love this place, you can see a lot of care and attention goes into creating original delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes. It used to be pricy, but considering how much the price has gone up to eat a decent meal out it's average cost now. Sometimes you need to be cautious though, the flavours are authentic and may not be to everyone's taste even if you like the sound of the ingredients. I had the Iranian rice last time and there was an entire ?pickled lime in the rice which was incredibly strong and made the entire dish taste like bathroom cleaner (to me anyway) and I felt sick after eating it. However this was one thing I personally didn't like amongst a treasure trove of delights from countless visits and wouldn't let it knock the 5* rating as everything was well cooked it just wasn't to my personal taste. Their tres leches cake is amazing!

We had a lovely dinner to celebrate a belated birthday for my wife. The welcome was warm and the atmosphere convivial for a very pleasant evening. Although we are not strictly vegetarian we had no difficulty in choosing from the simple menu and wine list. The staff were friendly and efficient and contributed to our overall experience. A very impressive establishment and highly recommended.

This was our first visit to Cafe Roya and I can't wait to go again. The food was truly delicious, from the starters, the main courses and desserts not one bit disappointed. The service and atmosphere was perfect too - if you are in Nottingham this is one restaurant experience you shouldn't miss. I am not vegetarian but with food like this I could be converted.

Absolutely amazing, from the hospitality to the food💖💞 We all had the rice and pea dish and it was full of flavour, my man even ate the cabbage 🥬and he told me he would never eat cabbage, or cauliflower for that matter so it must have been good! The desserts were also delicious, I had the banoffee pie 🥧 and he had the apple pie and he never usually has dessert either so now has to do about 50 pushups to work it off which won't be a problem because he's always doing them, he's also getting cabbage for dinner tomorrow now and needn't tell me he doesn't like it 🤣🤣😁😁👍👍

Four of us visited on a Saturday evening having booked in advance. The food is always wonderful and it was again on this visit. We enjoyed 3 great courses from a range of really creative and beautifully crafted dishes. I had the Cinnamon and New Potato Tacos, followed by Paneer in a Spinach and Fenugreek sauce and a lovely Almond Baklava served with Pistachio kulfi to finish - so good!! The service was again excellent from the really helpful and friendly staff on what was a busy evening in the restaurant. The menu changes each month which helps to keep bringing you back. A great evening!!

Mother’s Day Afternoon tea - savouries very pleasant, sweets far too sweet! But unfortunately not worth £25 with tea/drink extra. Worked out at £2.50 per tiny mouthful of food. Felt like they’d taken advantage of being Mother’s Day to charge extra. Such a shame as have waited ages to go to Cafe Roya.

A good spot for vegetarian cuisine. Attentive staff, a limited but interesting menu. The waitress was lovely. I would have rated this with a 5 but for the slower serving of our main course. The waitress was proactive in offering us delicious olives and nuts whilst we waited. The only thing, not a complaint, was that our main wasn’t served with quinoa as per the menu but nevertheless it was superb We loved the chocolate coconut balls served with our bill. These were outstanding. Overall, excellent food and great service.

I am not a vegetarian, however I am trying to reduce meat and poultry from my diet. I found this restaurant on the web and even though it is around a 30 minute drive, it was well worth it. The menu is small with a few specials but for me that is a sign of a good restaurant and boy does this place serve up great food. I couldn’t fault anything about the food, staff or interior. It is a long time since I enjoyed a meal out but this places get a 10/10 and I can assure you we will be back and next time it will be with friends Paul & Lisa

They were more accommodating than many places that advertise being child friendly. The high chair was uber cool, toddler food outside the menu was found (carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, with a dip and a dollop of Vanilla ice cream with strawberries), the doggie had a water bowl and all in all, we had a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Thank you Cafe Roya for being lovely!

Ogni opzione é completamente vegana. Il cibo è di buona qualità, originale e sapientemente proporzionato e cucinato. Del posto mi piace che cambiano sempre i menù, quindi si assaggiano sempre cose nuove. Il personale è gentile e pronto a consigliarti. È un po' caro rispetto ai locali della zona, ma secondo me è giustificato dal tipo di cucina, dagli ingredienti usati e dai limitati posti a sedere. Forse non è un locale per tutti, ma io consiglio di provarlo e decidere se fa al caso vostro!
