Royal India in Richmondshire

Table for two Sunday 20th, could not fault food or service. Highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Was blown away by the cake they got me for my birthday.

Amazing service went above and beyond suprised with a huge birthday cake at no extra charge these guys can’t do enough for you and the food is top notch!

Went for a takeaway today. Excellent food and the nicest staff. Would go again and would recommend

We had a fantastic meal last night, service and staff were amazing. Absolutely loved the little touches the restaurant offered Thank you we will be back

If you want to wait and wait then this is the place, ordered a takeaway at 7.00pm for delivery at 8.00pm waited until 8.30 chased them up, we are very busy at the minute your delivery is just leaving, meal turns up at 9.30, not the best meal not worth the extra delay. Poor show guys not the first time this has happened, gave you the benefit of the doubt first time but still the same, if you cannot meet the time-frames for the orders don't take the order in the first place.

We had an excellent meal here with the whole party enjoying their choice of dishes. It's bring your own alcohol. Special bonus was the large birthday cake provided for my wife's birthday.

My husband and I stayed for a night in Richmond and was in search of a good curry and we absolutely found one! Beautiful! Would re visit Richmond just for their curries!

Excited to try a takeaway from here based on all the amazing reviews. Found the curry disappointing and underwhelming. The mixed kebab starter contained what appeared to be an overcooked burger (??). The complimentary salad contained a very under-ripe/green bit of tomato and some slices of cucumber and lemon that were so dried out they appeared to have been cut several days ago. The rice was an unappealing grey colour. We eat a lot of curry and like to try out local takeaways while on holiday in different areas. Sadly, this one fell far short of the Tripadvisor hype.

We had a very good meal there : tasty food in sufficient quantities, friendly service, very reasonable prices !

Visited twice in a week while staying in Catterick The food is fabulous very flavoursome. Sat at a lovely window table for two. Plenty of room, very knowledgable and friendly staff. Will look forward to coming again next year.

Really good experience, we didn't book but they fitted us in. This is not a standard curry house, far higher standard of cookery. Very clean too judging by the care the young server took in cleaning the tables.

Fantastic place with great food and service. Some of the best Indian food I’ve had

Great food in a pleasant atmosphere. Large selection of devices that, at our request, were not served too spicy

Very happy.,They fitted us in on a busy night. Super customer service and the best Naan ever!! Tasty food and generous sized.

Only had take aways so can’t comment on atmosphere but food is excellent chicken balti and Lamb jalfrezi delicious. Staff always very pleasant and helpful

Simply amazing and incredible food to an unrivalled standard. The service was fantastic and swift. We will definitely return.

What an excellent curry house ! Would definitely come back and highly recommend. Excellent food, good portions, lovely attentive staff.

Awesome curry house! Food was delicious, portions were great without being too much food. Staff were attentive and courteous. Would highly recommend !!

Best curry I've had in a long time very fresh and flavoursome , 100 percent recommend, both my brother and my dad agrees that it was very good

Best curry I've ever had , very fresh and flavoursome

One of the best Indian takeout meals I've ever had, friendly service and delivered right to our door, 100% recommended!

First time we’ve had a curry from this restaurant as we are here on holiday and it was fantastic. One of the best curries the 6 of us have had. Fantastic delivery service, the chap was very polite and had good conversation. Would highly recommended. We’ll eat in next time.

Went to this Indian while staying in Leyburn, so glad we did it was Excellent,food was great, service and hospitality of the staff was 1st class couldn’t fault anything about the place it was an absolute pleasure to dine there Highly Recommended

My first visit and I was not disappointed. Food was excellent. For starter I had the chef's special Fish masala and it was lo Ely. For .aims I had one of their signature dishes: Bangladesh Jhal chicken.it was nice and spicy!!!!

Really delicious, up north do indian the best that's for sure. We had starters, mains, nann and a rice and feeling very satisfied but not disgustingly full. Which is unusual for a curry. Our waitor Abit (I hope I spelt it right), was very attentive and lovely. Couldn't fault it! Its a must go

First time visit as a tourist; and wasn't disappointed. Lovely food, excellent service. Great attention to detail; our little girl was living her best life, enjoying the lamb & chicken tikka, huge freshly baked naan, rainbow rice as she likes to call it - topped off with receipt of complimentary fresh fruit & a beautiful red rose🌹 Thoroughly enjoyable, many thanks

On holiday in the area. Read the reviews beforehand. Really, really good reviews for everything other than people not reading that they don’t serve alcohol - it’s a byo. We decided to order take-away for collection just for convenience. The restaurant is up a couple of flights of stairs which would have a challenged one of our group, in hindsight so we made a good choice. Regardless, the process of ordering online, collection, staff welcome, and food was excellent. And whilst I was waiting for my order ….a couple came in and was disappointed that no alcohol was available 🙄 Honestly, do your own research …or, Royal India, stick a big poster on the door and charge corkage (a lot of small restaurants do this in Bristol instead of paying for an expensive alcohol licence - a one-off £3 per person per evening who brings in their own alcohol - job done and no moaning Minnie’s!!!). We had Garlic Chilli Chicken, Chicken Tikki Masala, and Butter Chicken. The spicing on the Garlic Chilli Chicken was superb 👍

Had a Takeaway this evening and it was perfect and how I like it... Lovely food well cooked ,generous portions, great speedy service and complimentary pickle tray with poppadoms, I will be back very soon!!

Great friendly restaurant with quality food. Not licensed for alcohol so take your own! Fantastic value!

We were on holiday in Richmond and ended up here by chance. What a fantastic restaurant this is. Excellent service and very tasty food. Top quality. I have been to several Indian restaurants that have won awards for the best curries, Royal India would beat them all. Too bad we can't take this restaurant home with us. The atmosphere is 4 stars because there were a lot of staff walking past the table. The restaurant is less efficiently designed in terms of kitchen and bar. Another tip, sometimes too much food is served and that is a shame. A gigantic naan on a stand looks nice, but is too much (ordered 1 naan). A large jug with mint sauce looks nice, but is overdone. Nothing but praise.

Lovely hot food and the service was brillaint Every dish we ordered was delicious

Very good. Got a takeaway from here, I normally go to the other big curry house in the area but I thought I'd give these guys a try. Absolutely fantastic. I collected, when I got home they'd forgotten an item, by the time I called them they had realised and they delivered the missing item within minutes. The poppadoms are particularly great, fluffy and crispy, my mixed grill was perfect, tender meat. Will definitely order from here again

Brilliant Indian restaurant with amazing food and lovely staff. Made us feel welcome and comfortable. The food was bloody lovely too. I had the garlic chilli chicken and I didn’t regret my choice.

What an amazing experience! Friendly and helpful service, we needed dairy free dishes and nothing was too much trouble. A great selection for everyone. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

We went here for dinner tonight the pickle tray was amazing, and so were all our main dishes . Dinner was amazing and at paying the bill gave us a rose very sweet touch.

This is a hidden gem that from the outside doesn’t really let the secret out of what is to. come. An unassuming place from the outside. Inside the restaurant you are met with friendliness and a spotless and very clean restaurant and service is carried out with a smile. The food was excellent and extremely tasty .A must try and you will not be disappointed

We stumbled across the Royal India when looking for somewhere that served tasty vegetarian food!! We asked inside first if they could cater for vegetarians and they could not have been more friendly and helpful. They immediately said they could do us any dish as a vegetarian option with paneer as this was our preference. They informed us that they do not serve alcohol, so we nipped to buy a bottle of wine and headed back. They had reserved us a lovely window table. The meal was excellent the best indian food we have eaten!! Such warm and accommodating people! We even went back the next evening! If we lived in Richmond this would definitely be our local!! Thank you for great service! Next time we are in town we will definitely be back!

We've been to this restaurant several times now and it's consistently good. All the staff are very helpful and pleasant, the orders are taken promptly and you don't wait long for your meal, which is hot and served nicely.

Excellent food and reasonably priced. Would go again if in the area

Very nice food, good service and reasonably priced would highly recommend and will be visiting again thank you ……………..

Delicious food and fabulous service. A lovely evening. We were brought some complimentary extra dishes too. Excellent value.

Fantastic, well presented food. Polite, friendly staff. Good value for money. Would definitely recommend. We will certainly be back.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Richmond. It has a very nice view of the Richmond market square, especially if you sit in one of the window seats. It doesn't serve alcohol so take your own drinks or grab a bottle from Ken Warnes, just across the square. Nice decor. Food and service is always excellent.

Great place, staff very friendly and polite, food was great, a complimentary pudding was given and a rose for me which was a lovely touch.

I took a chance on something that sounded good and I have to say it was the best curry I've had in a long time. On a table of six we all had only good things to say about our choices. This is now our favourite curry house

Absolutely fantastic . The best Madras I have had in many years. Fantastic service, the guys could not have done more! A hidden gem at the top of Richmond. Will definitely be going again!

Excellent curry, it was one of the best curries I have had. No Alcohol served but you can bring your own and there are no corkage charges. Staff really nice. Prices are reasonable and would definitely recommend!

We've enjoyed some incredible Indian restaurants over the years, but the Royal India had absolutely fantastic service, and outstanding food. Probably the best we've ever tried. We'll definitely be back for more!

My first visit and, although not a particularly lover of curries , I found the food delicious and was able to easily find a dish I enjoyed immensely. I had the Tropical Seafood, one of the restaurant's signature dishes, and for anyone who enjoys Seafood of any sort, I can thoroughly recommend it. The service was friendly and attentive and the fact that you can bring your own alcoholic beverages with you was a bonus. I would certainly recommend a visit and details can be found on TripAdvisor.

Absolutely beautiful night celebrating my Dads 70TH birthday. Food was amazing really tasty and even spiced up a tikka masala at request. To tip it off they provided a cake, beautiful, soft, and made with fresh cream. More than enough for 10 people plenty for a slice tomorrow. 10/10 added bonus you can take your own alcohol. X ❤️ 70th

Saw previous positive reviews of this restaurant and thought I’d give it a try. I was not disappointed the service and food was amazing would totally recommend. Firstly the staff were very friendly. Now the food: I went for the onion bhaji to start and was not disappointed would highly recommend. Finally the main I had a the chicken tikka jalfrezi. Definitely the best I’ve had in a long time.

The restuarant changed hands a while back and we stopped going as we believed they were closed on a Tuesday, which turned out not to be the case, We have now been 3 times and love it, the food is top notch and the staff and helpful and friendly, remember to take your own wine, there is no corkage charge

Just had a take away it was lovely staff are Great foods was fantastic really tasteful Would recommend and will definitely be going back again

Had a fantastic meal at the Royal India. Pickle tray top notch with two types of onion. The mains were exceptional, not too much oil and really thick sauce. Keema rice nice and moist and really good naan. The staff were attentive but not too pushy. Do not serve alcohol but will let you bring your own. First time in Richmond but a trip to the Royal will be on the cards if I return

Welcoming, prompt, unobtrusive friendly service, delicious food, each one very individual and well-presented . A+ highly recommended

Working in the area went to this restaurant, met by very polite staff seated straight away excellent food very tasty and reasonably priced worth a vist 👌

Absolutely amazing food, got a takeaway but the restaurant looked lovely too. The guys were so friendly. Best curry we've had in a long time! We will be back.

Lots of choice on the menu and one of our favourite restaurants in Richmond, service is very good and staff always friendly.

We love coming here. Staff are so welcoming and food is delicious. Caters for fans of medium spice to mild and furious! Veggie option always good. My mum asked for Aloo Gobi for a main, no problem. You can bring your own alcohol and no corkage charge, they provide glasses etc. Food taste really authentic and we always have a fab night out.

We are regulars here. Moved up from London a couple of years ago and craving a decent curry. Hit upon this lovely place and we come back often. Been as a couple, with friends and with family. We always get terrific, attentive service. Food is excellent. My mum recently ordered Aloo Gobi as a main and was delicious. I had Lamb Karhi beautiful and my partner had Chicken Passanda. We all ordered Persharwi naan and pilau rice too. Price is kept to a minimum as we bring our own alcohol. They provide glasses and no corkage charge. They always give us, complimentary dessert and a rose to take home. Perfect evening EVERY single time!

Service quite slow but staff friendly informed they don't serve alcohol but you can take your own. Food was piping hot and very nice. All given a rose when we left

We have been coming here since it opened and have never been disappointed. The food is fantastic, dining in or take away, everything is delicious. All the staff are friendly and always make any visit a pleasure. With little touches that make all customers feel that little bit more specially treated. By far the best Indian restaurant in the area and possibly the best we have visited anywhere.

Lovely restaurant with great staff. The food was really nice. Me and my son got the Chicken Tikka Masala and my wife got the Chicken Korma which were all lovely but the cheese and garlic Naan was immense. Literally melted in your mouth. Highly recommend.

Fantastic food and staff were so friendly. We will come again. 😁

Love this place .. the food is delicious and well presented , the staff are lovely, the attention to detail sets it apart from the rest.

Always great food, highly recommended 👍🏻

Fast and efficient service. Welcoming and really kind staff. The food was amazing also. Cannot fault it. Will definitely be back.

Best Indian in Richmond and catterick (I’ve tried them all). They are lovely people, the food is fantastic and I get a rose every time I go collect. I Wouldn’t eat at another Indian again!

Visit royal india for my wifes 50th birthday food and service was excellent and to top everything off we were presented with a birthday cake to celebrate the occasion 5 STAR 🌟 superb restaurant.

Consistently great food and service, if you’ve not been, go , you won’t be disappointed. Best pickle tray ever!

The food was excellent. All six of us enjoyed our choices. Service was excellent. Hassan made us most welcome. We were surprised with a lovely complimentary dessert (delicious). Couldn't fault it. Looking forward to our next visit already!

Been here loads, always good food

Pre booked a table for twelve. Wasn’t informed that it was alcohol free but could bring your own. Very disappointing for our group. The food was at best average, not the best Indian I have been to. Most of the group were underwhelmed. Nice location...

Food excellent service perfect 👌

Extremely friendly, great food. Wonderful experience

Incredible food incredible service. I would highly recommend

Excellent food and great service

Really friendly staff, professional and food is second to none. Highly recommended

Excellent food, not just the run of the mill menu, some really nice dishes to try.

Went to Royal India for a birthday meal with my family. The food was fantastic, the best Indian food I've had in a long time. The staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble for them. After the meal they surprised me with a beautifully...

What a fantastic experience from start to finish! A table of 6 of us dined here for my mother's birthday last night. We couldn't have been looked after any better. To top off a fabulous meal the lovely staff then surprised my mum with a beautiful homemade birthday cake. It absolutely made her night! I'd like to say a huge thank you to the owner and staff for such a memorable evening ❤

Pre booked a table for twelve. Arrived on time and were shown to our seats. Started to order drinks only to be told it was a non alcohol establishment. I wasn’t told on booking, not the end of the world but it was to celebrate a birthday!! I can say the food was not The best I have had as far as Indians go and others in our group said the same. Quite a disappointing experience

Just eaten a takeaway from here. We were very impressed all dishes were very hot and fresh including the poppadoms. We will be back and thank for the rose 🌹

Was on just eat for delivery to where we were staying. Then went to unavailable gor delivery as we were making the order. Rang the restaurant and they said they would take our order in 10 mins. Rang back gave them all the details of our order for them to turn around and say they wouldn't deliver. No other places were available to eat with delivery and we dont drive. Waste of time and left us with no food.

We ate at this restaurant last night. We were delighted with the whole experience, the food, the service and the atmosphere were all excellent. We were served by Hassan who was very professional, friendly, helpful and attentive. The restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol so we were...

A chance find whilst in Richmond for a couple of days. Definitely the best food I have eaten in a long time and fantastic service plus excellent value for money. Loved the added finess of hot towels, fruit and chocolate to finish off (long removed from my local restaurant) plus a lovely rose for me as we left. Charming and will definitely return when we come back.

Delivery took almost 2 hours, I called to find out where the order was and the person I spoke to was rude, blaming my distance on the lateness, I live 15 minutes away, no apology. The driver arrived 10-15 minutes later and was very apologetic. After waiting all this time they'd sent us a chicken dish instead of vegetable. We're vegan and do not allow meat in our house. Rather than offering a refund they demanded we send the dish back. Absolutely appalling service. It's a real shame because the food is delicious. But, they are discourteous. If you have any food allergies or food requirements, I would not recommend as they do not care.

Terrible place - do not use! They are rude and ill-mannered. We placed an order and it was over 2 hours late. The food was cold. We are vegan and ordered vegan dishes; they delivered chicken. When we called for a refund on the dish,...

A very friendly restaurant in Richmond, we have been on numerous occasions even on Christmas day and the food is excellent and reasonably priced. They do not serve alcohol but there is no corkage charge.

My wife and I pre booked a table for two for an evening meal . The staff thoughtfully reserved us a nice table with a view overlooking the cobbled streets of Richmond . The service throughout was attentive and the staff were very friendly ....

This is the best Indian food I’ve had! Not many people eat at the restaurant and instead order take out. They are missing out! The service is very good and you get a lot of attention since there are few other diners there. Again, food was amazing.

Out of quite a few Indian restuarants in the area, this impressed me with their level of service and their absolute quality when it came to the food. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Great takeaway and if you want to try something different I would recommend the Afghan Chicken Palak 😁. Food much improved but carpets need to be changed as they look a bit grotty but don’t let first impressions put you off!

Very friendly, tasty and good meals, very reasonable prices

This is the best Indian food I have had for many, many years. The staff were fantastic and really look after you. Thank you for a great meal.

Lovely food. Top customer service

What a wonderful meal with superb service. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who real work to ensure all is good. The food was amazing, as I write this we have just finished the doggy bag the day after. Perfect in every way. Bring your own drink,...

We only have praise for this restaurant. Friendly staff and wonderful food. They made us special order authentic food. It was fabulous. Thank you so much, we really appreciated it. See you soon!

This is right up there with the worst Indian food I’ve ever tasted. Ordered the King Prawn Tandoori and was left utterly disappointed. VERY LOW in quantity and extremely bland in flavour.
