My favourite curry house in Birmingham. The food is always excellent whatever you choose from the menu.

I love this place! The food is 10/10 the staff are 10/10! There’s a reason this place is rammed on a cold windy night in January!

Absolute legends brought me a sparkler candle even though it wasn’t my birthday, also curry was good.

Food was incredible and the service very quick and kind.

Great food with nice presentation. Very clean. Staff very friendly.

Great venue, tasty food, friendly service provided

We recently visited Royal Wataan to celebrate two family birthdays in one, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, everything about the experience was flawless, from the warm ambiance to the exceptional service and, of course, the incredible food. A huge thank you to RJ, Imaan, Bobbi, Usman, and Kiki, whose attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism truly made the evening unforgettable. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect and made our celebration feel incredibly special. Their friendly smiles and thoughtful touches added so much joy to our family’s special day. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. You could tell the chefs put their heart and soul into every bite. The balance of spices, the quality of the ingredients, and the care in preparation were second to none. Each dish was a delight to the senses, and everyone at the table couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. The ambiance of the restaurant was equally impressive—elegant yet warm and inviting. The soft lighting, tasteful decor, and lively yet relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect setting for our celebration. It was clear that every element, from the decor to the music, had been thoughtfully designed to create a memorable experience. Royal Wataan exceeded all our expectations, making this celebration one we’ll remember forever. If you’re looking for a place with outstanding food, exceptional service, and a magical atmosphere, this is it. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Thank you to the amazing team at Royal Wataan for making our family birthdays so special. We’ll definitely be back to create more wonderful memories!

Customer service is great, food was spectacular

Fantastic restaurant. We have used this place for over 30 years and it never disappoints. Different from the normal it still maintains its Balti routes, loads of choice but whatever you pick, you will love it.

Nice place and very good food! The Lamb chops are perfect recommended it!

All dishes we had were quite nice. Great food and service. Highly recommended.

great service, lovely hospitality and food is 10/10. really take care of the customers too

We love to visit The Royal Watan when we’re in Birmingham. Great food, friendly welcoming staff and a nice atmosphere.

Great food and wonderful Ambience. Perfect location close to City Centre! We will be back .... :)

My father planned a new years meal for my family and I. We spent some time choosing curry houses in Birmingham and when we came across Royal Watan our search was over. We knew this was where we wanted to spend our first day of this blessed year to follow (god willing). What we did not know was what was to come when we went to royal watan, we were greeted like we are royalty which makes sense of the name now. Not only was the service like that of royalty but the food was good enough for the king and his family. I from this moment on will not eat anywhere other then royal watan where I know I will always have the consistency I so desperately crave. Thank you to Imran and Arfan for this amazing experience it has started my year of perfectly.

With the restaurant Royal Watan (the Royal Kingdom), Does it live up to its regal title? Spoiler alert: this kingdom deserves a crown! Our large party of 25 (featuring impatient adults, a grandma with 21 diagnosed conditions, and kids vying for constant attention) arrived ready to eat and test their mettle. The owner greeted us warmly, ushering us to our seats with the grace of a monarch himself. He even saved us a hefty £60 parking fine by advising us of being illegally parked. We leaned heavily on his expertise for ordering, and boy, did he deliver. The starters took a little longer than expected, however the delay gave us the opportunity to catch up as a group which rarely happens. When the sizzling mixed grill arrived (with surprise complimentary samosa chaat), the wait was forgotten. The meat was grilled to perfection—juicy, tender, and seasoned with just the right flair. Our carnivorous cravings were satiated, while even the herbivores in our group were treated like royalty with surprise extra veggie mains. After obliterating the starters, the mains had arrived. The lamb and chicken dishes were delightful, although there was a slight overenthusiasm for peppers in a couple of them. Nevertheless, the balance of flavors and the hearty portions left us nodding in approval. We were just about ready to leave when the owner intercepted us with a final act of generosity: a round of delightful desserts, on the house. If we hadn’t been smiling already, this gesture ensured we left grinning ear to ear. Royal Watan specialises in Kashmiri cuisine and has been serving the community since 1984. With service this impeccable and food so well-prepared, I am sure they will be reigning supreme for many years. Verdict: This kingdom is well and truly deserving of its title. Long live Royal Watan!

We were passing through the area from London and decided to stop at this gem of an Indian restaurant. What an incredible find! The food was absolutely amazing – bursting with authentic flavors, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Every dish we tried was a delight, from the starters to the main courses. The spices were balanced perfectly, and the quality of ingredients really stood out. What made the experience truly unforgettable, though, was the service. A special mention has to go to Eman, our waitress, who was outstanding. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Her recommendations were spot-on, and her friendly demeanor added a personal touch to our evening. If you're ever in the area, this is a must-visit restaurant. Delicious food and exceptional service – we’ll definitely be back!

The best balti house in Birmingham. I've been coming here for over 30 years. Imran and family are very welcoming and the food is lovely.

The best food in Birmingham for sure. Service was amazing, the staff were very friendly, the food came on time & the food is very tasty and delicious. The chicken, fish, and lamb were delicious and the biryani and naan topped it off!

Outstanding service, very polite and accommodating staff who took the time to cater for specific requirements. Beautiful ambiance, aesthetically pleasing Best curry house I've been to in a long time Definitely coming here again, highly recommend

Amazing service and the best restaurant experience I have ever had. The food was spectacular, I had a vegan dish and it was the best curry I have ever eaten. Can’t recommend The Royal Watan enough.

Customer service was amazing, lovely staff that make sure that you are accommodated for and happy with the food. They always had a smile on their face. The food was delicious. They cater for vegans and have a great range of options. One of the best curries I have ever had and it was made even better by the staff being so pleasant. 10/10

31.12.24: My family and I travel from Bristol every few months just for the balti and service. We have also taken friends who have also enjoyed their food. It's nice to be welcomed so warmly like an old friend, well i suppose we are, especially as my husband has been coming here since 1988. The food has always been outstanding along with the friendly, efficient service. The family size naan is our favourite accompaniment with our baltis. This establishment is a bring your own alcohol but they do serve soft drinks and you always get bottles of water on your table which are replenished throughout your meal. It's nice to have the choice to bring alcohol if you wish but I'm quite happy with water or soft drinks. I look forward to our next visit.

Best Indisch Restaurant I‘ve ever been and come agaim. Authentic, traditional food- huge naan- just Great!!! Friedly staff.

Beautiful food great service would recommend food came quick and was well presented restaurant is clean and modern overall a great restaurant for friends and family to enjoy would come again.

Fabulous night! Great food and service

We come here for our annual Christmas curry and will be attending for many years to come! Food is excellent and service is delightful.

Absolutely fantastic! Great service and delicious food!!

Fantastic food. Lovely friendly service.

We ate at the Royal Watan last night, the food was good excellent and despite being incredibly busy they accommodated my booking error! I hold definitely go again

The restaurant was great. Staff were friendly and polite. The food was fabulous

A pleasant experience from start to finish as always here! Been coming over the past 2 years and each time it gets better. Food is always sublime and the service is just superb!

Superb as usual at Royal Watan.

Absolutely amazing place to eat, food was fresh, hot and tasty. Atmosphere was fantastic and the staff were exemplary. But shout out to Imaan for looking after us and making our night so good.

Great food and lovely decor. 10/10 experience!!

Always was and still is the best, even after a spell away it still felt like home. Top curry and great to see you all again 👍

Very nice service and food. All staff are friendly and helpful.

Good service and very good quality food, tasted freshly cooked from quality ingredients. Unique amongst many other examples of this cuisine. Do not sell alcohol, but invite guests to use the very handy local off-licence nearby and provide glasses and bottle openers as required.

Always walked past but hadn't ventured in until today. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere despite it being busy with several large tables. Food was lovely, some unique dishes and house specials - but even the traditional ones seem to have a twist. Will be back soon I think!

Great meal for a large group! Food was delicious and everything was very well organised.

We've been coming to this restaurant for many years and always had an ace experience, couldn't recommend more!

Revisited the restaurant after few years excellent Saturday night food 10/10 Service 10/10 Atmosphere 9/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Was a enjoyable night and will definitely visit again. Thank you to the staff.

We ordered the mixed grill. As Asians, we unfortunately found the food extremely tasteless. This restaurant is probably very fine for non-Asians. No faults with decor, atmosphere, service and cleanliness. But unfortunately my culinary taste buds were left craving for authentic indian food.

Very welcoming, food was amazing and the service is unmatched.

Relaxed atmosphere and delicately spiced food

amazing food and service and people are so nice

Kiki was a lovely server! Very attentive and made the whole experience worthwhile!!

Best place to eat in in or take away banging place for a curry

Good quality food always aim to please

Really tasty food and good service

Delicious food, balti currys are amazing.

Really enjoyable visit. Staff were great 👍 Good food and the place just has a nice vibe.

Honestly the best curry house I've ever been to. Great food, not shy on the spice levels, naans as large as your body, all with reasonable prices and good service. Can't go wrong.

I had my first ever Brum balti here, and it was delicious! Service was great and quick, food came out piping hot and tasted great. Portions really good for the price. Also had the Lassawalla Gosht as it was recommended and it was definitely worth it; the lamb was so tender and juicy! Loved the naan bread too. Highly recommend

Phenomenal service. Great atmosphere. Recommend 10/10

Big naans. Big bants. Great curry!

Enjoyed a fantastic meal as a group of six, delicious combination of chicken and fish dishes, well flavoured , with good levels of spice; and not over -sweet. Naan’s deserve a special mention; great and crispy. Even enjoyed a refreshing mango lassi on the side. Overall a lovely meal out.

Very lovely food; felt very high quality. Lamb was tender and colourful veg in the curry. Great attentive service from Imran and staff. Am only visiting the area but when I’m here next I’ll def come back

Delicious spicy curries. Lamb was so tender on the lamb madras that I had. Very friendly staff, but they did forget a drink that I had ordered. Lychee blush mock tail and mango lassi drinks were amazing!

Really great restaurant. Absolutely brilliant food, great service, overall great time. Would recommend to anyone!

Excellent authentic food, service and atmosphere. Very enjoyable meal at an amazing price too for 4 people! Iman & all the staff were so helpfully and polite. Will return without doubt.

Food was excellent all around, especially the chefs fusion specials which were a fresh and delicious change from regular curry house options. Will definitely be coming back.

The food was fantastic and Imaan our server was amazing. Our first time here and it eas was well worth coming. Highly recommended!

Friendly staff, food was really good! Thank you

Been coming here for a few years and the food is absolutely amazing every time! Big portions and good price!

Amazing, cant wait to return!! Top food by top people.

Superb Balti house, beautiful fresh curries and the naans are just next level. I had their Balti Madras and a Peshwari and Honey Naan, thought I was going to burst but the food is so moreish you can’t leave a bite. So reasonably priced as well, £24 for a proper evening meal and a drink is excellent in a big city. Would definitely go again.

Great food and excellent service by Bilal

By far the best kashmiri restaurant in Birmingham🔥! Been coming here for years and would never go anywhere else, from the starters to the mains to the desserts everything is always fresh and top quality. The portions are sized great, the customer service is phenomenal all the time!! Very friendly for families/group meals. Would 100% recommend 👍🏻

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is always outstanding and is worth every penny.

The'diferent' balti!! A favorite since '85. Still a favorite today.

Nice people miss communicating and they sorted it out with no stress
