Royâ in Glasgow City

Omg. So freaking good. I want to come back for dinner again tomorrow. Wow, this was amazing. Service was fabulous as well. I'm beyond thrilled with this place. You must try it. You will not regret it!!!

Delightful pre Theatre dinner at this beautiful Lebanese/Middle Eastern restaurant. Food was simply delicious, well presented and excellent value for money. We went with pre Theatre menu (£24.95 for 3 courses) Dips of Hummus and Jazaar (carrot/red pepper and feta) - both plentiful and served with a thin and puffed up garlic naan Starters of Manti (dumplings with spiced mince and topped in a delicious chilli butter labneh) and sharwarma lamb tacos (best taco style dish I’ve ever eaten!) Mains of spicy chicken tawook kebab (melt in mouth chicken with enough kick to make your mouth zing) and Joojeh kebab (chicken in a lemon and sumac spicing) Side if saffron rice. Would heartily recommend and we will be back to this stunning restaurant A real treat that won’t break the bank

Squeezed us in at the last minute on a busy Thursday night. Food was astounding and the staff made us feel very welcome. Second time here and we'll definitely be back for more.

Exceedingly good pleasantly surprised.

Marina served our big group of 10 for my 21st birthday and she was so gracious and helpful! Would recommend!

Have now used Roya twice for lunchtime catering for nearby course - SIMPLY SEVERAL LEVELS ABOVE my customers experiences at corporate events - authentic, tasty cuisine. Thanks to Mehmet and his team for a great service

Great food and service. But too many restrictions for larger bookings. So much so that it started to become inconvenient.

Worst customer service I have never seen rude and careless management like this

Really outstanding food - middle eastern with indian & turkish vibes. I would recommend 1-2 small plates if you're also having starters & rice, very generous portions!!!

The place is amazing. Lamb tacos are to die for.

Satisfied about this restaurant recommendation, very welcoming staff (Jef) specially.. food was good and portion. Highly recommended

A Turkish restaurant serving halal food in Glasgow. The food is delicious and varied. There are grills, all kinds of appetizers, and salads. There is a great demand for the restaurant, even from foreigners.

Food was amazing, cocktails were amazing and our server connor was just a delight!! He was so efficient and friendly, would recommend this restaurant to everyone !

Food was fab , our waiter Connor was lovely and cocktails were the best we’ve had.

Awesome food with great server Mirena. Thank you!

Came to celebrate my Wife’s birthday and had an excellent time. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were very good. Our server was also extremely helpful (I am no good with names but he was a young man in glasses). He gave us food recommendations and advised us on how the menu works. I will definitely be back! The Tobacco mushrooms are a new favourite 😁

The food was lovely and Connor was very helpful with guiding us through the menu alongside being very friendly! Will definitely be back.

Simply stunning. Wonderful ambience, beautiful cocktails and the single best cabbage I have eaten in my life. I didnt realise cabbage could be so tasty tbh, but boy was I wrong! Cheers Jef 🥂

Food was amazing taste was unique.

Jef was fabulous tonight, thank you so much darling for my making our night and recommending such great dishes 💫

Delicious dinner! I definitely recommend!

Jef was amazing very attentive. Food was amazing as well as service. Would recommend. Thanks Jef

Had a lovely meal at Roya. Jef our server was fab, he is a credit to Roya

Food was great. The service from Can was excellent.

Amazing restaurant. Food and service (from Conner) was very nice

Excellent, excellent food! Has a sharing platter between 4 and it wad spectacular - great value too. Service was tremendous, too, Connor really looked after us with some brilliant recommendations. Will definitely come again.

I often leave good reviews for different places. But this experience was truly exceptional. Every single dish we ordered was incredibly delicious. The atmosphere inside was pleasant, and the service was excellent and fast. I wish I could eat here every day😅🥰🥰

Fantastic service and food was unreal 5 * all round. Our server Conor was incredible was so knowledgable and really made the night

Great atmosphere, excellent service, friendly staff, delicious food, and generous portions! Very highly recommended for Middle Eastern cuisine!

Excellent service and attention from the start. The food was superb and would 100% recommend.

Lovely dinner at Roya. The food is delicious and our service (from Connor) was very friendly and efficient. The kebab platter was lovely!

Incredible food and amazing service from everyone including Conor :)

Modena was a great host and the service food was amazing!

Absolutely incredible food. Went here today at mid-day for the first time, and the food was absolutely sensational. So many flavours. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Visited the restaurant before attending the Kings Theatre across the road. The restaurant is a beautiful place with a great ambiance. The theme is middle eastern so you need to have a slightly adventurous palette but the food on offer was delicious and the service was fantastic with plenty of help to choose the right dishes. We ordered a dip & three mezzeh plates of Lamb Tacos, Potato's & Oyster Mushrooms and there Baklava Ice Cream sandwich. Along with 3 cocktails, our bill came to just over £70

Mirena was amazing! She was so friendly and professional throughout. The highlight of our night out!

We had an absolute fabulous time here. Food was amazing, playlist had a great weekend vibe. Our waitress Mirena was a star, took our patter with ease. Drinks and food were a good price too. Will definitely be back!

Food was fab and our waitress Mirena was so lovely! 5 stars just for her xoxoxo

Mirena was lovely & friendly 💕 the food was tasty!

Our second time here and just as wonderful as the first! Food flavour profiles are so yummy! 😋 So many delicious dishes to choose from. We had a celebratory birthday lunch for a wonderful friend and nothing was too much for the staff. Would highly recommend! 😊

We were served by Olive who was very knowledgable and patient with our indecisiveness! definitely recommend this place <3

What an amazing restaurant to go to, esp as tourists in Glasgow! Lisa was especially helpful with recommendations, catered to our needs and was so attentive! Would recommend to come again

I really enjoyed everything about my visit to Roya. Food was unique and very tasty. Will have to go back soon.

Amazing restaurant! Went for a pre theatre dinner, highly recommend. The chicken kebab, garlic naan, lamb taco and potatoes were super tasty and great value for money!

The food is good and the place is tidy and nice. I recommend visiting, and the meat kebab is delicious

The food here is class. Nice small plates and something different. Great service and friendly staff. Literally all it needs it’s some background music - it felt a bit awkward at times as it was so quiet!

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant and would not recommend it to anyone. From the moment we walked in, the staff was unwelcoming and rude. We waited over 20 minutes just to be seated, despite the restaurant being half-empty. Once we were seated, the service did not improve. Our server was dismissive and seemed annoyed whenever we asked questions about the menu. When the food finally arrived, it was cold and clearly had been sitting out for a while. The quality of the food was subpar, especially for the price. To make matters worse, when we politely brought up our concerns, the staff was defensive and unapologetic. They made no effort to rectify the situation or offer any compensation. Overall, the combination of rude staff, low-quality food, and terrible service made this one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

Brilliant experience all round!

Royâ provides a warm and inviting atmosphere for enjoying Middle Eastern cuisine. The excellent service and diverse menu made it a perfect choice for a Friday night dinner, setting a great tone for the weekend. However, the Joojeh Kebab was disappointing. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor, suggesting it may have been overcooked and insufficiently marinated. Addressing this would greatly improve the overall dining experience.

Fabulous middle eastern restaurant with excellent vegan options. Staff are attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. Would highly recommend the mouhamara and chocolate hummus, and the pides are excellent

Went here last night for dinner with some family for a long overdue catch up. The place is stunning, the menu is lovely and the staff were very friendly. I wasn’t sure I was going to love the menu because it’s not my normal favour food but absolutely everything we had was delicious. The dessert menu is the best I’ve probably seen anywhere I would have eaten anything off it. Will definitely be back!

Had a nice enough night, but it would have been improved by more help explaining some aspects of the menu from the staff who were pleasant overall. (Tacos were good, but the Chicken Kebab was dry) Advisement of a sauce to accompany it would have made a difference. Prices were reasonable.

I've read on the website they are family freindly and welcoming kids until 6 pm. I went to have lunch with my friends and I bring my 3 years old boy. One of the staff came to ask me to to keep my boy quiet (which is impossible to keep him all the time quiet) which I wish I can because they have other customers.

First visit which can be a bit daunting but waitress was very helpfull with suggestions to what we might try. Everything tasted so fresh and flavoursome. We will definitely be back

Amazing food, my only thing was everything had ground nuts on, even things that this wasn't advertised. I have a very light nut allergy and chose things that didn't have nuts for that reason. I'm not moaning, just mentioning. the staff were very busy, so completely get it!

Loved their Middle Eastern inspired afternoon tea. Their choice of teas were great. We especially loved their Persian Chai. Insta worthy place 😍

Fantastic chilled out atmosphere and great food. Would highly recommend here

Do not book in advance! I’ve been here once before and the food was ok but wanted somewhere local to go with friends for my birthday. I booked 3 weeks in advance with a note to say that I might have 2 extra people and will confirm in advance. I confirmed a week in advance of the booking only to be told by a very rude staff member that they had no availability left to accommodate and also refused to return the £70 deposit. It’s against the law to have accepted money and not received a service.

Amazing food and great service from Connor

I'm not one to add reviews but this is some of the worst food I've ever had. The quantity is so less and the quality is soooo bad. The spices are imbalanced. It was too salty. The food honestly made me depressed. The waitress was polite though. I would never recommend this restaurant to my worst enemies

my wife; myself and two sisters were in for a meal before going to see Kinky boots. the food was outstanding ; the kebabs were delicious and the dishes from the Mazzeh menu were equally as nice; the staff were lovely and the prices were very reasonable. we will def be back; thanks for a lovely start to a special night out

Had a fantastic dinner at Roya, have chosen this place for an anniversary celebration, and we were blown away by the delicious food and amazing service. Special thanks to Connor who got me and my partner Prosecco on the house when we said it’s our anniversary. Lovely food and a great vibe, totally recommend!

Lovely tasty food, the dips were amazing. The selection on offer was great. A very good drinks menu too and friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Had our long over due Christmas night out here. Food was exceptional especially the mixed grill platter. Amazing decor and setting. All washed down with Mr baclava and caught in the rain cocktails. Will definitely be back again soon.

We had a pre paid banquet menu in their private room area. We arrived on time but was still met with unready tables thus having to wait 10-15 minutes before being able to be sat down. Once sat down the table arrangement was not suitable for such a large group reservation as it was two sets of tables with a distinct distance between them. Once the food came out it was obvious that it was merely an imitation of Mediterranean for as there was little emphasis on seasoning the food with the care of jail yard slop meat. As we were waiting for our food they queried us for drinks and asked for IDs which then led to one of the waiter rudely commenting on my friend’s appearance to be specific his teeth. Once the advertised banquet came out. It was met with a half hearted effort to supply food for 6 individuals. It was rather a tarnish on Mediterranean food as the seasoning was again lacking in flavour with the portions being inadequate to justify paying 30 pounds per head. Overall I was greatly disappointed in the experience of this restaurant. I hope they see this criticism as an opportunity to season their food. Many regards

Roya is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Glasgow. However the service I experienced when I last went in was honestly shocking. The staff members didn’t want to be there, we had a table for 4 booked for 8pm. When we arrived they tried to give us a table for 2 as the other couple were running late. When I advised I booked a table for 4 the woman was flustered and advised only 2 of us walked in. I clarified I booked a table for 4, we then waited another 20 minutes for this table. The food itself I had no complaints, spot on. Let down by the service big time!

Sunday roast menu is fantastic value for money and absolutely delicious - we had the whole roasted cauliflower. Excellent service also.

Had a lovely lunch . The food was fantastic, the staff were excellent and the price was even better. Looked very high end but felt very comfortable. Would absolutely recommend

Roya had great reviews and write ups, so we thought we would give it a try. To me, Middle Eastern food is the type of food you could eat daily. However, you do get some restaurants that just don't ger the flavours right. Roya was incredible from start to finish. We did order a bit too much food, but everything we ordered was full of flavour and cooked extremely well. I will be back for sure and couldn't really recommend it enough.

It was my second visit to this fabulous restaurant, and both times have been exceptional. It has definitely become a firm favourite. The food is mouth watering and the flavours are unreal. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the tabbouleh, which is something I generally enjoy. I think there was too much lemon used and it was very sour, other than that I can't fault it.

The food and customer service were excellent, and the restaurant's aesthetic was amazing. It was a lovely experience overall - highly recommended!

My experience at this restaurant was great! The atmosphere is tidy and the service is nice, elegant and fast. All the items are very delicious and halal, which perfectly suits our taste. I will definitely come back again

Great to have something new. Visited for Sunday roast, had the lamb. So tasty, loads of alternatives making this a smashing take on a Sunday roast … you’ll need to be hungry to finish this feast. Veg and potatoes have super tasty spices added, lamb was super succulent, the meat fell off the bone, all Sitting on top of pomegranate onions. There are a sauces/dips as well as some gravy and Yorkshire pudding that you’ve never tasted before. This is a must try on a Sunday. The restaurant it’s self, is comfortable and welcoming, I great environment. Service is attentive and very helpful. There are some great cocktails too. We will be back as the chicken version looked fantastic too.

One of the best middle eastern food i had in Europe was from this place. The ambience was wonderful. The staff were incredible. Must visit

Everything was perfect! The staff, the food, the place. Even though we are demanding customers, we were completely satisfied. The food was delicious. Thank you for everything.

Delcious food - we got the small plates and it was amazing to taste a variety of foods they offer really a wide range of veggie dishes. And to top it off choclate hummus which was great! The staff were attentive, lovely and so friendly. Drinks were fab and it was a great atmosphere. Lovely decor! Just beautiful.

The food was fresh and tasty and the grill mushrooms it was really 🤤 tasty

I’ve been to Roya a few times, and the food is always exceptional—a consistent 10/10 (I highly recommend the dipping platter). However, my experience during a recent visit for my birthday dinner was disappointing due to an unfortunate incident. As the waiter served our mixed grill, the juices and oils spilled all over me, ruining my new dress as well as getting onto my jacket. Thankfully, the liquid wasn’t too hot, or it could have burned my legs. While I understand that accidents happen, and we were compensated—around £12 off the bill— it felt inadequate, considering the damage to my dress. It’s a shame because Roya has always delivered on quality, but this experience left me feeling let down, especially on a special occasion.

Came for dinner and had a great experience. We got the dipping platter, grilled chicken, Turkish cigars and oyster mushrooms. Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were perfect. We had the watermelon spritz and anar anar cocktails which were both lovely. The staff were all super friendly and attentive and the interior is decorated really nicely and is very cosy. Pretty busy even on a Tuesday night so recommend booking!

Delicious food - gorgeous decor and lovely staff! We came for a work Christmas lunch and we all loved it.

Tasty food. Waiting staff nice. Relaxed atmosphere.

I would have rated Roya higher had the food been better, I felt it was more show than substance. Maybe the price of the dishes put me off also but I wouldn’t let that put you off from trying as it has lovely decor with ambience and style. Maybe save it for a special occasion when you want to splash out a bit 😉

So so so good! Highly recommend the manti. Service was also superb, thank you sm Lauren :D

Excellent place. Will go again. Though, please have kibbeh and kunefe on the menu. I'd be there every week.

Had a reservation, we were Americans having our first Scottish dining experience and we felt very cared for, thank you. The food here is next level. The ingredients were incredibly fresh. Whoever cooked this meal masterfully seasoned every dish. You could tell care/time was taken when cooking so that the ingredients were bursting with flavor. Middle Eastern Tatties > Honey Carrots & Parsnips > Beetroot & Burrata > Iskander Steak > Oyster Mushroom Kebab I’d recommend all of these dishes. I think we were just in the mood for well-seasoned root vegetables today.

They didn’t allow my assistance dog in . I felt very discriminated against being disabled. The woman working there was asking too many questions and asked for training certificate. I just left, because I can’t stand this discrimination.

From the reception to the service to the Quality of the food an absolutely amazing dining experience. Highly recommended and will be back.

Food is so average to be honest Service was okay But the surprising that we ask to have our food for take away and they just throw a boxes and said they are not allowed to pack food but when i. Ask the manager he said we do take away but we are busy!! Why? I am paying for the food. So i share my experience for people to judge.

Roya had a great atmosphere, great place for some food, drink and catch up. Finn our server was very hospitable and a kind person. Highly recommend!

Honestly just think I've had my best meal in Royal. Every single plate that was brought out was to die for. Sunday roast. Service was amazing. Had to get a doggy bag because it was so big portions. Highly recommend it 😍

Love love love. I love everything about this place, the food is so tasty, the ambience, the staff are helpful and attentive. It's my new favourite place 😍 Get the middle Eastern potatoes 😋

Used to work at Roya, loved every bit of it, the best place I ever worked by far. All my coworkers were lovely people, and I’m happy to suggest it to anyone and everyone. Food was great atmosphere was great and everything was just right. Hayley our boss was the greatest boss I ever had and I’m so glad I had the chance to work for her, she was always so supportive leading such a big team and always did what’s right, looked out for us and made sure all the customers were satisfied. Roya is amazing, live love laugh Roya

That vegan mushroom kebab was one of the worst thing I have ever tried. And the fact I said to the waitress it's not edible and still been charged for it is crazy. Few other dishes were nice but would not go back there.

We had home delivery kobedeh and kebab toursh kobedeh was ok but kebab toursh was nothing like kebab toursh att all and also packaging is very bad they should have used different pack for salads thanks for efforts but not ordering again hope you make some changes

Lovely surroundings, friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. What more could you want!

I went to this place for my birthday. The atmosphere is amazing and the food is very tasty. However, the portions are a bit small. I would still definitely visit again.

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 :)
