Sylhet Royal Indian Cuisine in Suffolk Coastal

We had a fantastic takeaway from here - great portions, beautiful flavours and well priced. Would very much recommend

We came recommended by a friend and we were NOT disappointed!!! Excellent food, you feel GOOD after eating it & just had a great experience from order to pick up, thank you very much. Not only have you gained a new customer but I’ll be telling everyone I know about you too! :-) xxxx

My wife and I had a meal delivered. It arrived exactly when it was promised. All the food was exquisite and piping hot. Definitely the best takeaway we have ever had and would recommend without hesitation

We booked here for a meal as we have just relocated and were impressed with the reviews. We arrived at 7.30 on a Friday night and the restaurant was empty, and was still empty when we left at 9pm. The place was absolutely freezing, but to be fair we had worn short sleeves as we had expected there to be heating on in January. The waitress was kind enough to plug in two radiators for us, but it should have been warm on arrival. There was an over door heater, which was apparently unsafe and waiting for a service, so could not be used. We also noticed 3 lightbulbs no working and shoddy paintwork around the window, although the decor is modern. The toilet was like a visit to Siberia. ! On the plus side, the waitress was very pleasant and admitted she was cold in 5 layers of clothing ! She did make us feel welcome and the food was excellent, but on trying to order dessert we were told that there was only one kind left as there was no call for dessert. ( There are a vast array of desserts on the website and no mention of not being able to have any? ) We were not offered coffee, so decided to get the bill. On leaving we noticed the waitress unplugging the radiators, so we guess that nobody else had booked. Overhearing phonecalls, the waiting time fo takeaways was given as 45 to 90 minutes, so I am guessing that it is more of a takeaway than a restaurant.? Anyway, to recap, the restaurant side needs attention and should be more ambient. Faultless food and service, but sadly not worth a second visit, sorry.!

They serve the best Indian food over had and I recommend this restaurant to anyone. My grandad said it's the best food he's had since he lived in Portsmouth over 40 years ago.

Polecam wszystkim którzy chcą spróbować nowych smaków szeroki wybór dań obsługa bardzo miła i pomocna jest to miejsce do którego warto wrócić .

Taken advantage of their bring your own booze Wednesday dine in special offer twice now and the food is superb! We would say best locally, staff are lovely, but service could be quicker.

Me and my wife visited here last night. When we arrived we were the only customers so it was lacking in atmosphere and they were extremely busy taking takeaway orders, there was no music and so we heard them taking orders too much for our liking. However,they tried very hard to serve us as quickly as they could and put some nice Indian music on which improved the atmosphere.The poppadoms and chutneys were superb,the raita and lime pickle in particular were delicious. Nicest raita I have ever had. Our main meals were a mixed bag.The Sheek kebab was good portions and tasty. The worst part of our meal was the rice,it was broken pieces and would be better if it were the full grains of rice. We had mains of chicken Bhuna and Korma. Both were really excellent. They had a really deep colour and flavour in both dishes,the best Korma I have ever had. There was a lot of big, beautifully cooked chicken. These guys are very generous with their portions. We really enjoyed our meal and we will definitely return.

Decided to eat in, instead of having our usual take away from this restaurant. Food as always was amazing, service was so friendly it was lovely. Food is cooked fresh from ordering so it takes a while getting to the table, but it's worth the wait. Will definitely be eating in the restaurant again. They don't serve alcohol so bring your own if you want some. Also cash only in the restaurant.

We were recommended Sylhet Royal about a year ago and have been consistently impressed with the quality of flavours and food. We have a takeaway once a month and it’s always great. My wife recently found out she has gluten / dairy intolerances - the team couldn’t have been more helpful as we had to check through what she could / couldn’t still eat - they were patient and knowledgeable (and ultimately my wife ended up with something she thought was great - that’s not something she’s said much since she found out about needing to change her diet!). Without a doubt the best Indian / Asian food in Suffolk.

This place by far serves the best Indian food in Felixstowe. It is always my go to takeaway when I’m up for a curry.

I used to sing the praises of this takeaway but something happened a couple of months ago and the food has been very average since. One day the nan was thick and the texture very unindian! Sauces have lost the depth of flavours becoming one dimensional. I’ve tried a couple of times now but nothing has improved. It was an expensive Indian takeaway that was ok with good food. I’m sorry to say it’s now very overpriced and below average. A shame!!!

We had Chicken Korma with Malaya Rice and Peshwari Naan Bread. We would love to try other items from the extensive menu but the Korma is so delicious we never do! The portions are very generous and great value for money. The food is consistently great every time we order. The staff are really pleasant and friendly. My husband chose this food over all others around for his birthday meal so you know its going to be good!

We decided on a Friday night treat on 21/12. Advised there would be a 45 minute delay for delivery, this became well over an hour but we had been told how busy they were.The food when it arrived was delicious, catering for 4 different tastes. My own House Biriyani stretched to feed our Xmas arrivals too, there were also leftovers. We were first timers, thoroughly recommend and we will be back for more.Well worth the wait and excellent value.

My wife enjoyed hers, but my curry was mainly a thick, spicy, beefy gravy with very little else. It's the first curry ever that I couldn't eat and I've had many curries. I'm not sure what was in the sauce/gravy but it wasn't very nice.

I always take advantage of the Wednesday Curry Night offer as I just love the food here. 20% off your meal if you just come and collect and pay in cash is certainly a great deal. Love it!

Got a takeaway for myself and the hubby and ordered the Set Meal for 2. Really enjoyed the dishes, and certainly could not finish all and so kept some for the next day. Was lovely to just sit back and relax after a long day and enjoy a great meal. Customer service over the phone was exceptional too, very polite.

Always great food. Fantastic service and fast takeaway delivery time. Highly recommended for Felixstowe / Trimley

have used this place on many occasions and it always is fantastic. Had a friend over from new York who even said how delicious and flavoursome it was. highly recommended to all. very pleasant staff also.

Absolutely love this Indian takeaway and restaurant. Have tried many different places on my travels but this place is by far the best. The food is so fresh and has very distinct flavours. Big portions are given too! I save my leftovers for the next day. I absolutely love the Simla Mirchi Murgh from the regional specialities, and love the Peshwari Naan. They always provide excellent telephone manners and customer service, would highly recommend.

Sadly our takeaway was quite disappointing. The main meat dishes were incredibly sweet, even the hot and spicy one, which took away all the enjoyment. Definitely less sugar required.

Excellent curries & what a huge menu, almost any curry with any meat or fish. Restaurant is hidden in a back street but a cosy place to dine in also excellent take away or free local delivery

Normally order a take-away which has never failed to impress. However, we decided to eat in this time and the service was just as amazing as the food!! Highly recommend!!

We have visited this restaurant in Faulkeners Way, Trimley St Mary, a number of times and always encountered the same excellence every visit. The quality of the food is always good, whether it be Indian or English dishes ( thus catering to all tastes ). The restaurant is good for small parties and provides buffet style as well as a standard menu. The chef is undoubtedly one of the best in Felixstowe, portions are always large and fairly priced. Obviously popular for take-away and delivery, due to the number of people coming in to collect and the number of calls for delivery that one sees whilst relaxing in the restaurant environment.

Have had lush takeaways from this place before and so thought to dine in. It didn't disappoint, the food and service were amazing. Very friendly staff and the food was spot on. Will definitely be coming again soon.

We use the take away service regularly and always enjoy great food. This was the first time we had eaten in the restaurant and we really enjoyed it. It is small and intimate. You can take your own alcohol which keeps the cost down and the food is very competitively priced and of high quality. Service was very good too. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent setting in Trimley villages, complemented by excellent food ( both Indian and Western ) and exceptional friendly service from a multi-national staff. We have had many take-always and recently held two buffet parties at the restaurant, both of which were excellent and complemented upon by all those who attended, many saying they would return with their own parties. Food portions, both menu and buffet, are huge, meaning there is always enough left over for the ‘doggy’ bag. The staff are always there to ensure all is well and the chefs are beyond excellence.

Great food and great staff! The restaurant is very nicely laid out with plenty of space between tables. Our waitress was very helpful and also made sure we were happy with every course that she brought out to us. The portion sizes were perfect too! We will definitely be returning to Sylhet Royal. I can honestly not recommend this place enough so go and try it out for yourself and see what all the fuss is about!

We have had two takeaway meals from the Sylhet Royal in the last 4 weeks and on both occasions we have been very impressed with the quality of the food, service and portion sizes. We will definitely return and would certainly recommend giving them a try. My only tip would be that some of the dishes can be quite fiery and would recommend bearing this in mind when placing your order.

Saturday night takeaway delivered absolutely delicious quality roll on next one. Lovely lady on phone food and service fantastic

The food was delicious, amazingly flavoursome and devilishly spicey..... If you like. Very large portions enough to last 2 meals. Well recommended.

Was taken here by friends tonight, great choice of dishes, lovely food and so filling. Service was very friendly, will definitely return when I'm next down south !

Fantastic food and very friendly. We had visitors and took them there last night. We couldn't fault the food and service. Also, got 20% off as it was Wednesday. Will be returning very soon.xxx

Slightly off the beaten track, but well worth finding. We have eaten here a few times now and every time the food has been served quickly and piping hot. Superb tasting Indian food, with a large choice of dishes. The staff are brilliant and cannot do enough to help you during your visit. It is bring your own alcohol, which helps keep the costs down, and the food is also well priced and served in ample portions. A great place to eat out.

Four of us dined in here tonight, we took our own wine and beer ( bought from shop next door). Food was unbelievably good. Service was outstanding. We were totally spoilt and felt so comfortable it was like dining at home without the washing up! We will definitely visit again. Totally loved this placed. To top it off we got 20% discount because it was Wednesday! Thank you for an amazing evening.

This restaurant is difficult to find, but well worth finding!! They have a great diverse menu, the food is delicious, freshly cooked, well presented and their prices are very reasonable. You need to bring your own alcohol if you want a drink, they supply the glasses and will even open a bottle for you. The service is quick, efficient, and very friendly. We really cannot fault this establishment in any way and thoroughly recommend it.

Once again here whilst staying in Felixstowe- as usual all food excellent. Flavours coming through and all piping hot- top class food out of the way but easy to find on sat nav.This is a top class restaurant serving very good Indian food- look past the location and see this for what it really is- you go out to eat good food- and you wont beat this !

Not the most salubrious surroundings, inside or out, but the food is top notch. It's not licensed but you can take your own drink. With resteraunts making huge mark up's (4-5x trade prices) on drinks this is a real bonus. Excellent.

Ate here again on a recent visit to the area- and again the food was very good.Shamina is front of house and her husband is the chef. We both had vegetarian meals - main course dhansak- side dishes of chana massala, bombay potatoes,plain rice and a peshwari naan.All served piping hot with all the individual flavours coming through- my dhansak being particularly good.This is only a small restaurant and it is BYO - but the food has that taste of the properly cooked individually flavoured Indian which you simply don't get normally- definitely the must go to Indian restaurant in the Felixstowe area.

The food is excellent, All cooked to order fresh and decent portions and huge choice, the service is great, always deliver on time.

As someone with food allergies (onion and garlic) I contacted them in advance to check they could cater. On arrival in the restaurant I was really pleased to find that the variety of dishes available to me was larger than expected as they were able to make a lot of dishes for me. This compared to other Indian restaurants in the area who weren't at all helpful. They explained clearly exactly what I could and couldn't eat and made useful suggestions. The food was tasty but next time I'll go for something a little spicier. (I had a tikka starter and a korma). The menu was extensive and appealing. This will now be our Indian takeaway of choice as well as restaurant to take the kids.

On visiting Sylhet Royal last night and dining in the restaurant for the first time we had a selection of dishes which all were fantastic. The service was was spectacular & they couldn't have been more accommodating. We will be visiting again very soon.

We sat in the restaurant and enjoyed chatting with the staff who were most welcoming. Its a clean, quiet and comfortable restaurant and the staff made sure we were warm enough on a cold february evening. The food was exquisite, so fresh tasting and felt it was cooked with such care and attention. Many different subtle flavours, great for vegetarians, loved the punjabi saag paneer!

Delicious food, fresh ingredients, very reasonably priced. Although outside Felixstowe town centre, it's not far and easy to find. Will be going back soon!

This is almost as good as my nana from calcutta cooks, (Sorry naan) streets ahead of any other Indian

Came here again on a visit to Felixstowe- and another lovely meal.All vegetarian food for us- different flavours and nicely spiced- and piping hot. Shamina will take you through the menu if required- she is a brilliant host.Cash only to eat in and bring your own alcohol- some people might say a little more pricey than average but the quality was top rate- and you always get what you pay for there.this is a very good Indian restaurant that serves food of a standard well above the norm.

I eat at the Bombay Nite because they're exceptional and because it's a tradition, but I now exclusively order from the Sylhet Royal and have done for the last couple of years. The set meal for 2 always leave us full and with leftovers and the food always tastes incredible, no matter what we have.

Keeping this review simple, as the title suggests I think the place is a little pricey. However, the food is fantastic, and the menu contains some fabulous dishes from different regions of India that you will not find on most menu's.All in all I would certainly recommend this place to friends and family.

The Sylhet Royal is tucked away in a parade of shops outside Felixstowe. You can't get see it on Google Street View but it is there and it is fantastic! We dined there on Friday night and were treated to a fantastic Indian Meal. The restaurant is small with great modern decor and very friendly staff lead by Shamini who owns the restaurant with her husband who runs the kitchen.The menu offers a wide selection of Indian dishes including plenty of fish and vegetarian options. We were all in with starters, main courses and sides, walking away happily stuffed.The food here is superbly fresh and so light. My chicken dish was a wonderful mix of Spinach and Coriander which had such a light feel to it. None of the dishes were heavy or oily and my Naan Bread was the lightest i had ever tasted.As a newish restaurant, this is still a hidden gem but one worth seeking out. The food and service were excellent and we will be back soon!Do remember that this place takes cash only and you can bring your own booze.

In the past I have used this place as a takeaway, walked past many times and always said we would eat in one day and we finally did. The service was really friendly, we were given time to decide what we would like. When the food arrived it was cooked perfectly and was very filling! I would definitely recommend this place to family or friends to dine in. I think because not many people know about the dining in there that there are still a few things that could be inmproved upon. This is things like, asking us we had been there before and what we thought about eating in etc, that I felt would have been better to be when we first got there althought I know they were very busy for takeaways that evening. I think generally the service would improve just by more people eating in as not enough people do. I'll definitely be arranging a meal with friends or family in the near future. Other Indian restaurants in Felixstowe we have been to before we have had problems with everytime we have been - chicken not cooked properly, rude staff but this is the first place that everything has been brilliant. Definitely going back!

The Trimley Crib team had a night off so paid a visit. Excellent service and food top rate. This little place is a jewel. Will certainly be going back.

Read the reviews on Trip Advisor and thought we would try it as in Felixstowe for a few days. Recent experience at an Indian restuarant not too far away last time not impressive so needed a change.Syhlett is off the main road on a housing estate in a small parade of shops. Met the lady owner Shamina who welcomed us in and was very helpful and enthusiastic. Both of us are 100% vegetarian and there was the usual selection of offerings plus a few different ones.We ordered veg pathia, chana massala, bombay potatoes, rice, and peshwari naan. All very good with different flavours in each dish being prevalent and the naan was probably the best naan I have ever had.This meal was very good , not greasy, and piping hot.It is only a small restaurant but dont let that put you off, by far the best Indian meal I have had in the area and we having been going to Felixstowe for nearly 25 years, this is a top class restaurant.

Visited again for my father's birthday meal. I've visited here many times and it has never disappointed. The food is always top notch. I cannot understand the bad review this place got. Obviously some people are ignorant. My friend and I have introduced 8 people to Sylhet, all of whom have agreed this is the best Indian place in town.

I won't write much as no one would then read it.The food is really well prepared with some very distinct flavours due to the obvious use of fresh ingredients and an excellent cook.Everything we ate was excellent and the mint sauce criticised in another review couldn't have been bettered. I adore well prepared mint sauce and unfortunately am usually disappointed by a nondescript, sweet mess, but this was perfect. Maybe the other reviewer should have tried tasting it.......The staff are very friendly and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Just love this place. The food is amazing. Freshly cooked always delivered lovely and hot. The lady in front of house always helps out if you fancy something different.

Decided last minute to go out for a sit down curry with my family. Thought we would try the Sylhet Royal. we had had takeaway's before from there. We were not disappointed. The staff were exceptional friendly and welcoming. The meal was beautiful hot tasty and great care was taken in ensuring everything we ordered was brought out together. The restaurant is also unlicenced which is nice for a change. An overall great time was had and would definitely recommend. Will be trying there curry club on a Wednesday night!! .

As a result of a leaflet through our door I thought I would visit again for a takeaway.Taking of the order over the phone was very efficient. The wait time of 40 mins was fine. Paying for the meal by credit card worked.We order four starters, four mains, Nans, Rice and Dahl and all arrived home without leakage. However we were slightly disappointed in the meal with the dishes lacking any wow factor and all appearing to look the same. We had enough left other for Dinner the next day. I think this was as much due to our lack of enthusiasm for the meals as it was the portion sizes. Our order came with a bright green item that could only be described as Flubber. We couldn't figure out what it was but decided that something with that amount of food colouring needed to be poured down the sink rather than fed to humans.The menu card advertises an Astonishing Sunday Buffet of 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 side, rice and Naan for £12.99 each. Call me a sceptic but I can't figure out why this is a good idea. The Astonishing bit probably to refers to why any group would chose to limit themselves to the limited number of unknown choices when the whole of the menu is available to them.The empty restaurant in decorated in a café style did not appeal either.I don't think I will be back any time soon when Bombay Nite is so near.

I visited the Sylhet Royal Indian about 3 weeks ago with my boyfriend, the new restaurant is lovely and the service you receive is excellent. Moreover, as a fan of indian cuisine, from all the restaurants I have eaten at this has to be the best by far. Even the naan bread tastes nicer than other Indian restaurants/takeaways. I would highly recommend going into the restaurant and getting the chicken tikka Jalfrezi.

I have noticed that my more recent reviews have involved finding my way to an 'off the beaten track' restaurant. This was no exception, situated in a small group of shops on a housing estate in the Suffolk village of Trimley Saint Martin is a small restaurant serving delicious Indian cuisine. Previously well known locally as a Take-Away it has now opened up a small restaurant area. At first glance it resembles a cafeteria but don't be put off. The tables are very practical and the chairs comfortable. It has an extensive menu offering many favourite dishes as well as some regional dishes. I chose the Chicken Jalfrezi and Sabji Niramish (dry vegetable curry) as a side dish. I'm glad I didn't have any rice as this delicious curry was more than enough to fill me up. I did just have enough room to slip in some of my all time favourite desert - Gulab Jamun. This was a lovely tasty meal served by the very friendly team operating this small haven of Indian food. I should also mention that, as they do not have an alcohol licence, you can bring your own. They do offer a selection of 'soft' drinks. To make life even easier there is a large car park alongside the restaurant.

Service was good, food was lovely and staff were very helpful. The restaurant was quite small but clean and quite modern-would definitely recommend and they also do takeaway.

It was a lovely small establishment, but it was nice and different, wonderful staff and beautiful brilliant food. A must return and all please try you won't be disappointed promise. Thank you all at the Sylhet Royal.

We received a mailshot this week for this restaurant and decided to go. Wednesdays are special discount night, so we chose that to save a few pounds. The menu has the traditional favourites but also some interesting sylhet dishes, one of which was kofte meat wrapped round egg, served in a rich sauce - very enjoyable.My wife was called out to work minutes before we arrived, so time was pressing. The service was excellent, order taken quickly, food arriving promptly (but not rushed). We even had time to have one of my favourite desserts - gulabjaman - sadly rarely available away from Brick Lane, London!It would have been nice to have savoured the food at a more leisurely rate and perhaps tried a starter - hopefully next time.You can also take your own alcohol to this restaurant.

This is my third visit and I have to say, this place never disappoints. You are greeted by friendly staff who make you feel so welcome. I cannot complement the food enough. The flavours are divine as well as the appearance. The portion sizes are generous and we found that we had ordered too much food- as usual. This turned out to be fine as you can take any leftovers home. Once again I can only encourage more people to try this gem of a place!

Just had a beautiful takeaway. Staff and food were spot on. It's also now a restaurant which I didn't know. Going for a sit down meal next weekend as looks really good. Nice fish tank too.

Popped in for a takeaway, and stayed to eat in as they now have a restaurant. Food was delicious. Great service, very friendly and informative staff. One of the best Indians we have eaten in years.

I went to this Indian, if I'm honest because Bombay nite was fully booked, so I was a little apprehensive. When booking we were advised that it was BYOB, which was fine so we brought something along with us. In arrival the restaurant looked pretty though we were the only people eating there. The staff were very friendly and attentive and when the food arrived all our worries gone. The food is delicious and served promptly. The food definitely rivals that of the Bombay nite and I think if more people gave this place a try it may well be just as popular and as busy. The takeaway is clearly quite popular already there as a lot of people were coming into make collections. I left feeling full and satisfied and even went home with some left overs which I enjoyed the next day. I look forward to my next visit and hope that the word will soon spread that this is a great place to eat. :)
