Wasn't amazing. Had a takeaway from here a year ago and quality seems to have dropped somewhat. Very quick delivery which was good. I had Achari which was billed as very hot, it was unbelievably mild, I think the Keema Rice had more heat than the curry. Naans were good but the wifes CT Masala was pretty bland compared to usual back home. Will try elsewhere next time we're up here.

Horribly overpriced for unpleasant basic food. The "dhal" was inedible watery lentil soup with some cheap curry powder through it. We raised this as a concern, and were told this is what was on the menu and was what we ordered. We sent back the food and were made to pay for it anyway. Avoid.

Food was excellent, couldn't fault it at all. The waiting staff were polite, but not the best. There was zero atmosphere in the place, but it was 5.30pm on a Sunday to be fair. Terrible cover versions of popular songs being played in the background which did nothing for the atmosphere. Worth it for the food though.

Ordered a chicken Korma with Fried Rice and chips. The curry was not too bad but the rice had no flavour, was very wet and didn't taste like fried rice at all. tasted more like plain rice, it hadn't been drained enough as water was on the plate when the food was platted up. the chips and nan bread were good but the nan could do with abit more cheese in it when ordering a cheese nan.

You have to visit Royal Bengal Indian restaurant if you are near Nairn or passing through, one of the best Indian meals we have had in this area by far.

Poor quality tandoori chicken. Spongy, over cooked, bland chicken. Not cooked in a tandoor, very little flavour and no char any of the dish, but still overdone (!?). Also had seekh kebab starter which was better flavoured but again poorly cooked.

We were disappointed. For the price we paid we expected better quality. The curries were a very watery/thin consistency, and not a lot of meat. The meal was also cold even though we collected it as soon as the app said it was ready. The meat itself, flavour of the curries, naan and poppadoms were nice.

I was in Nairn overnight only and had left my wallet in a cafe that had already closed, so without money, card or my phone, I wasn't able to get dinner or even water. I went into The Royal Bengal just to ask if there was any way I could pay in Euros and bring the sterling the next day, but instead, Eileen kindly let me have a dinner and two waters to take to my hotel that night and trusted me to just put an envelope through the door the next day before I traveled on to the airport. Not only was this gesture very kind, trusting and generous, but the meal I ate was exceptionally good. One of the best lamb curries I have had, with generous promotions and several popadoms and sauces to accompany the meal. I'll definitely return if I go back to Nairn anytime in the future. My order was the lamb butter makhani... highly recommend it.

The food was very expensive for what it was. I found the curry to be bland and the two different types of curry I tried honestly tasted the same, except different colours. There was a lot of sauce and very little vegetables and chicken. It tasted low quality- like there was flour filler for the cream based curry. The serving sizes were small. Even the tiny glasses of soda were overpriced. The one thing I loved were the front staff. Very kind and provided good service.

Everything was sweet, not spicy, bland, with no depth of flavor. I've had lots of Indian food and this was just...weird.

This was our first experience. We had read others' reviews and thought we could treat ourselves as we are on holiday. From first greeting to settling the bill this was a genuinely happy choice of restaurant. The service was quick, friendly and helpful to guide us through the extensive menu. The food was excellent and from the animated chatter from other diners (families, friends, colleagues) it very much appeared that they too were happy with their meals and drinks. Finally the cost..we were about 20 pounds per head - starter, main course, naan and a soft drink each...plenty! Certainly lived up to expectations..perhaps even better. The only minor issue being the tables are quite closely packed and if it had been even more busy (it was about 75% capacity) then it might get a little too noisy and less intimate for some.

Booked this for my Wife and I as a sit down meal. Got to the restaurant and were escorted through an area where loads of takeaway carriers are sat waiting for food to be put in them, under hot lamps The restaurant clearly has its focus on takeaway or delivery which is ok, but the table service was quite rushed and pressurised in the way our order was taken. The starters arrived with the accompanying sauces and chutneys served in plastic takeaway pots and wooden ice cream spoons to serve them with which was just plain odd when having a sit down meal ! Note - The restaurant menu is significantly smaller than the online menu is. Luckily the dishes we wanted were on there. The food was actually very nice, but it is one of the oddest Indian meals ever.
