Royâ in Glasgow City

Very bad food , the quality of food dropped

Wow! Possibly the best pre-theatre meal I've ever had. We went as a group of 4 and we all ordered something different. All of the breads and dips were gorgeous. I dont think I've ever had such a light and crispy naan bread. I especially enjoyed the king prawn and harissa starter but everything was really well cooked and very flavourful. Mains were generous and again super tasty. Hope to get back again soon.

They are highly expensive and serve cold food with no proper service.

Me and my friend were in here last night and the food and drink was so so good. The girls serving us were lovely and recommended us some tasty options! Will definitely be back! Service and good 5* Thank you :)

The vegetarian roast can receive a bit more attention and less salt. Side dishes and desserts are sublime.

Really cozy athmosphere, down ot earth, yet professional waiters and brilliant food. Would recommend.

Unique Middle Eastern food in what feels like a luxury restaurant in the centre of Glasgow. Although some of the dishes are ‘small plates’ the portion sizes are actually great for the price compared to other restaurants. Rating 4/5 stars due to the length of time taken for the dishes to arrive. The starters were really quick but there was about half an hour of waiting for the main courses to arrive after we finished the starters. This meant that we had to rush to finish our meal quickly because the time we had booked our table for was running out.

It was a great night for us. Thank you guys. Perfect service. Super professional staff, Thank you Yusef for being so nice. I highly recommend Roya. Amazing food. My wife literally cried when she tasted Deconstructed Kashk as it reminded her of HOME (our lovely Iran).

Honestly can't fault this place. Amazing atmosphere, Amazing food , quality portion size, no complaints all round and to top it off the most amazing staff. Friendly , helpful and nothing was too much trouble .

The food here was delicious and the atmosphere was so nice, although the restaurant was full, it didn't feel chaotic or noisy inside. We were served by Alana and had really efficient and friendly service without feeling rushed. It's also in a great location if you're going to the King's theatre.

The place is elegant and beautiful and the service is excellent They provide it for free We were 3 people We ordered a large plate of grilled shrimp, which was delicious and clean We ordered a large mixed kebab. One time, I was shocked when they put it on the table. It comes with vegetables, pickles, and two rice dishes. The quantity is large. It tastes delicious, but there is too much salt. Delicious hummus that comes without bread, you must order Delicious naan bread, but its size is small and the price per piece is 3 The amount of food is large and the price is almost high

Nice wee restaurant , cosy ambience , food was really nice , (prices were abit high)

Nice restaurant lovely atmosphere good service

Lovely and beautiful atmosphere, very delicious food very good services

It might like average but it is phenomenal! Consider pre-booking as they not always having tables for walk-in. Don’t miss the fattoush and batata harra! Highly recommended ✔️✔️✔️😋

My favorite restaurant when I visited Glasgow in August. The food is excellent and the portions are huge! (As an American, I found the portions sizes overall in Scotland to be quite large.) Roya is beautifully decorated and quite serene. My friend and I went for a pre-theater dinner the first time, and I came back by myself the following week. Hilary was my server both times and she remembered my very obscure allergy the second time without my prompting. She was very attentive and incredibly nice.

Food cane our super quick. Starters were really nice, although the chicken tacos were cold (was expecting them to be warm?). Batata Harra and Balal were my fav starters. Main course was disappointing for me, may have been due to my choice (spicy chicken tawook, I thought it would have been chicken breast but was thigh which I’m not personally a fan of) Dessert was the most disappointing, we went for the pomegranate cheesecake. It was so tough to cut into I struggled even with a knife!

Our late lunch time meal was perfect. My friends took me there for my BIG BIRTHDAY. The food was excellent, fantastic flavours and textures, beautifully presented. Great Middle Eastern food. Damien was an attentive and knowledgeable waiter. Great interior, comfortable seating. We would definitely return.

The food was delicious but our waiter was very rude.

Here for a birthday lunch. Absolutely fantastic. Amazing food, great décor and waiting staff were first class. Looked after by Declan who couldn't be more helpful. Definitely returning!

Visited for the first time to try the Sunday roast menu - I can’t recommend it enough! Every dish on the table was done to perfection. We were a table of four and ordered both the chicken and lamb shank. The meat was very tender and seasoned well, living up to the true taste of the Middle East, whilst maintaining the traditional flavour of a Sunday roast. It certainly felt like the best of both worlds. For starters we selected the dipping platter, the barbari bread was definitely made fresh. I will be back for the main menu next time!😊

A gorgeous meal at Roya before the theatre. This is my second time eating here and it has become a favourite. The menu is excellent, they have extensive GF and vegan options as well as the main menu. Cocktails are excellent. Highly recommend the dip selection, the burrata and beetroot and the ox tongue. The potatoes are an absolute must. I had a Mr Baklava cocktail which is a twist on an Old Fashioned, and one of the best I've had. The atmosphere is lovely and the service is great. We were looked after by Declan and he was brilliant.

Was really excited to eat here, menu and images look delicious. Actual flavour and textures of the food were absolutely lacking. I got the pideh, which is supposed to be sourdough but I’m highly doubtful, was 70 percent undercooked crust. The salad was iceberg lettuce with tomatoes and cucumber you’d get in Tesco with an overly sweet dressing. The oyster mushroom kebab I was most excited for was really tough and stringy and too salty. Was disappointed as no care was put into making a tasty vegetarian option. The decor and price is way too fancy for the actual food experience so it just comes off as pretentious

ROYÂ Dipping Platter Harra Sweet Potato Large Mixed Kebab Anar Nojito

We had the most fantastic meal here. The food was wonderful and the service and surroundings were equally brilliant. The portion sizes were great and there was a large selection on the menu. Can't recommend this restaurant enough. We also had great service from Declan who was very attentive throughout the meal.

Absolutely loved our first visit here before Theatre yesterday. We will definitely return, food was amazing and beautifully presented. New waiter just started a few days ago, he was friendly and attentive - as a customer that's very important to the overall experience 👌

**Incredible Persian food and service!** Had a fantastic meal at Roya. The food was delicious, and Declan was an amazing waiter. Highly recommend!

Visited as a group of 11 for a 30th birthday celebration on Saturday. Enjoyed amazing food , atmosphere and amazing service from declan and all the team. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

This place is absolutely stunning inside yet calming. Beautiful background music and vibe. We had a lovely seat by the window looking onto the Kings. Very seldom down this end of town and definitely worth it for this experience 🙌😍😍😋. The food was delicious so tasty and full of flavour. Lots of choices 👌 the food portion sizes where just enough for what we ordered. The waitress and waiter where very lovely, the waiter stood out for his knowledge of the food and attentiveness, and the waitress for her friendless and efficiency. She advised us that they would need our table back shortly (we where way over our 2 hours) that we could move to another table or into the bar. We opted for the bar as we had finnished our food. We had planned on going to other bars afterwards, the bar area was so nice as was the Lebanese red wine we decided to stay.😀 I love the idea of a bar inside a restaurant for either pre drink or after or both👌 the bar area was as stunning as the restaurant area. All the staff where lovely. No service charges! Definitely will be back

Great place with a lot of vegan options. Excellent service!

Delicious food and extremely courteous service from Alana. Thank you, we'll be back

Food takes too long to cook. People working there do not know about the menu and seem distant. The decor is nice. But you will feel boxed in with late food. And employees almost ignoring you exist

Went here for the first time after being in Saffron branch in west end. The price are really high and the amount of food is at scam level, even the glass of water was like an espresso coffee as size. You might think that the quality must be great then, and you’d be wrong. Quality of food is average and doesn’t beat other Persian restaurants around. After spending £200 I went to Paesano to get my belly full. The design and staff were nice, but seriously, Saffron Paradise is on all other level about Middle East Persian cuisine and the price is lower too, fun fact they’ve got the same owner so I guess I’m not even doing bad publicity.

Very nice middle eastern restaurant. Great decor and atmosphere. Food superb however word of warning - beware the chillies.

The food was delicious and the place is wow it’s very classy and romantic. I went for my sister’s birthday. But unfortunately the service is did not like the waiter was not nice and not smiling and straight to the point not friendly, that’s what put me off from the place.

We dined in Roya for the first time and I can say it was one of the best Persian kebabs we have had in Glasgow. The Bastani ( saffron ice cream) was divine! And my husband enjoyed his Pomegranate cheese cake. The service was perfect and was so friendly. Highly recommend it and we definitely will go back.

Went last Tuesday for a celebratory dinner, can’t recommend enough, one of the best food places in glasgow atm. Great service as well, we were served by Craig, very kind and attentive.

Incredible authentic food and great service. Absolutely recommend 🙌🏼

Beautiful site with attentive staff and absolutely delicious food off a carefully crafted menu

Beautiful atmosphere and great vibes!, got served by Murray and had one of the best old fashioneds I've ever had would recommend.

We came into the bar and were welcomed into a hip and comfy bar area. The mojito was exquisite, the perfect balance of sour from the lime and sweet from the mint and syrup. Our server was Murray who was friendly and helpful throughout our experience and could take me home after a couple mojitos if you know what I mean. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good time.

Fantastic in every respect. Baklava Ice Cream Sandwich is a must!

Amazing service by Jef, lovely food and atmosphere

Craig is the best what a guy!!!

Craig is amazing! Amazing food thank you

Craig was fabulous wow and amazing food 🫶🏻

Thank you Roya for a lovely evening! Our first time visiting and it won’t be our last. Food, service and ambiance was just perfect. I really appreciate good service and I must say, every member of staff were so attentive, welcoming and went above and beyond. Highly recommend if you are looking for something different!

Fine dining so expect crazy prices! Food was lovely. Service was great apart from onensmall point - guy said he would being sauce our but didn't. We didn't bother to ask for it. Also when questioned about how many "cheese cigars" were inna portion, he didn't k ow and simply said "they're small pieces". 2 pieces so one per person lol. The decor and setting was lovely. My other complaint is that the kebab never came with any naan whatsoever. This is basically unheard of, regardless of how posh the restaurant is. My honest review- lovely food, but seriously expect small portions and expensive for what you get. Could be better value money and sauces should DEFINETLY be included with a kebab if your paying £15.

Cracking food served in a chilled & relaxed environment. The lamb I had was incredibly tender & packed full of flavour. definitely worth a visit if you are near.

I visited for the first time the other night and was served by Iona. She was extremely friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcomed.The food was delicious and we loved the sharing plates. There were many options I have not tried before but loved.Would definitely recommend if you are wanting to try something new!!

Had the most amazing birthday meal here! The cocktails and food were all amazing, particularly the sharing plates and the baklava ice cream sandwich. The service was absolutely incredible, Iona looked after us while we were there, and was so helpful with recommendations! Would definitely come back and try more.

I had a great time at Roya, my server Iona was the highlight. She was very friendly and helpful when we were choosing food. Food was great and the ambiance was fab! Will definitely be back!!

Amazing persian food in a very stylish restaurant! Totally recommend it

Great food, great service from Craig and very accommodating staff

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Great vegan and dairy free options. Really recommend!

Food is top class. Will be returning as soon as possible.

If its a meal youre after then roya is not the place to be, the batata harra and kobiedeh was extremely salty and there was no other flavour We also got the manti and in comparison to the afgan equivalent it was nowhere near as flavourful The interior was nice however it is just a shame for the price range the food is not good

My first visit to Roya and I wasn’t disappointed. There was so much to choose from, but with help from our waitress Lisa, who was amazing and so helpful with her recommendations. We will definitely be back.

Can’t believe I had never heard of this place! Everything about it is brilliant - the decor and atmosphere, the food wow, the service and cocktails. Alana looked after us and helped with food choices. Highly recommend

Hilary served us tonight and was friendly and helpful!

Went for the first time for a birthday dinner and it won’t be the last! The food, service and atmosphere was amazing and unlike anywhere I’ve ever been before. Our server, Alana, was so courteous and kind! she really made us feel welcomed.

Great restaurant, lovely architecture, nice music and great dishes.

Visited Roya last week and cannot recommend the place enough. The food was amazing. We were served by Lona who could not have been more helpful and would recommend taking her recommendation on dishes.
