The Royal Albion in Hounslow

Not the easiest place in the World to find but absolutely well worth it when you do arrive. Parking nightmare - so beware! Warm welcome from the young lady who was front of house. Varied menu catering for most tastes. The homemade chicken curry was stunning, the Naan breads outstanding - thin and crispy. The Masala fries - amazing. One portion of them is enough for 3 - 4 people. Very generous portions and the prices are very modest. The bill for 2 including drinks was £34. Highly recommended.

The chef is outstanding and the service is outstanding. 5 stars!

Great local. Only had takeaways so can’t say much about eating in but the food is always good.

Came to eat here at this hidden Indian restaurant right in Hounslow after pints around the corner. Ordered a mix grill, masala chips, followed by a curry after some time; all of which were very nice. Portions were more than enough. Server was prompt and helpful. Each dish didn't take more than 7-10 minutes for it to come. One wouldn't know where this place is unless you looked at a map. Clean restaurant with clean washrooms too. Can't wait to come back to eat again.

Great, authentic Punjabi food - one of the best value Mixed Grills around!

I just had a couple of beers. Unfortunately, no cask beer, I had a keg IPA, which was £5.95

Absolutely amazing food and super friendly staff. A big thank you to Roshini for always welcoming us with a smile! Mouthwatering tava chicken, and go on a Monday for the best lamb burger ever!

We were in London for one night and we took a gamble on this place! The food did not disappoint! The waitress was so helpful in suggesting food for everyone’s pallets, we had kids with us, Indian food lovers and newbies… all 11 of us walked away extremely full and satisfied. My husband has had Indian food from all over the world and he said this was the best he’s ever had. My father, who’s doesn’t like Indian food, hugged the chef after the meal and is now a convert. If we’re ever back in London, we will certainly be back! The butter chicken was my favorite!

The food was not very good, taste was nothing special and it was just cheap quality meat thrown together, but what was more concerning was the fact that a customer slapped another customer and the management watched on, let them both carry on drinking there, and waited until it would escalate, not really kind of place you will ever feel safe with your family. Avoid!!!

Great food at a good price, the mixed grill and the curries are a highlight. Decent beer options too

I enjoyed my last experience so much that I had to come back. Ordered an array of dishes which were just divine. Staff as usual were super friendly. Probably my favourite pub and restaurant in Hounslow.

Amazing food and staff! Highly recommended ****

Quick stop for a work lunch. Only ordered half tandoori chicken and masala chips but more than enough and easily restaurant quality if not better. Complimentary chutneys/sauces brought out a nice touch and very fair value too. Friendly staff/clientele and chef even came out to ask how it was. Def will return and even detour when next anywhere near/in area!

Decent place for some ok food nothing to rave about small pub so be warned

Absolutely delicious food. Highlights were the fried momos and keema naan. Great selection of beer, they also show football too! Danita (bar staff - I think that was her name) was so friendly and attentive

Came for food and football and wasn’t disappointed. Ordered an array of dishes and the highlights were the fried momos and keema naan. The lady behind the bar (danita?) was super friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to come back!

The Royal Albion recently catered our wedding and reception and honestly we are so happy we went with Harpreet and the team to cater for our special day. Throughout the planning stages, Harpreet was so helpful and guided us on how to make the best choices for our day. She accommodated all our extra requests and was always so helpful whenever we needed anything. Our guests really enjoyed the food and won’t stop talking about the spicy fish bites! Thank you for going above and beyond for us and making our day truly special. Can’t wait to come back and see you all! Maya and Justin

Nice cosy pub that shows the sport and has great food.

I have been twice in the last month after finding this pub through google. I went with different people each time and we ordered the meat platter on both occasions with naan and both times the food was absolutely amazing. Incredibly tasty and flavourful. On my next visit I will try a curry or two as they look great as well!

The food at the Royal Albion is fantastic. Harpreet and Dips catered for our wedding in August - we sampled a few different caterers before deciding on TRA (now The Indian Wedding People). We can't fault their communication and attention to detail on the lead up to the big day. There were a couple of issues on the day which we discussed with Harpreet afterwards and she was extremely understanding and took on our feedback. We therefore can't fault their service and quality of food and we wish them all the very best of luck in their new endeavour as The Indian Wedding People. Thanks again guys!

A lovely local pub that serves great quality food at very reasonable prices. The service was great and friendly. Would recommend!

Unbelievable food never has as good Indian food would highly recommend fish starter fantastic main course Tawa also amazing

The food was lovely. I think they'd be better off opening a dedicated restaurant because the food is restaurant quality.

GREAT place, friendly local. Nice flood. Amd service.

Stupid immature customer service. When you place orders online they don't have a clue about it and simply say you need to speak to the uber drivers directly. No sort of respect for the customer and a stinking attitude.

The Food is Amazing! Absolutely love this place.

This is essentially a local pub that is also an Indian restaurant. The food was as good if not better than most restaurants serving this cuisine, good range of dishes both veg and non-veg. Staff are friendly and helpful. Excellent surroundings, large screen TVs showing sport (if that’s your thing). It’s a little out of the way, but that makes for a better experience in my opinion. Highly recommended, worth searching out.

I am very sorry to say I ordered your food yesterday the the 15th July it was awful soon as my son opened the food cartans the food smelled off gobi aloo was floating in a oily gravy the onions in the salad were off they stunk like they were old smelly onions u used I threw the whole meal in the bin I will not be eating your food again worse experience ever you need to prepare food fresh not dish out old food from day's old

Have to say gone downhill Saturday afternoon and no food as doing a catering function 3rd time we have been and no food ! Wine was warm and not good won’t be coming again

Fantastic food and bar service at a private event. The whole team was professional and friendly. High quality North Indian food, beer, wine and cocktails with top notch service. .

The Albion remains one of the best Indian food offerings around. Authentic, cooked to spice preference, tandoor baked naans etc. its off the beaten track, well known to locals, so look it up if you’re in the area. The landlord has a great team of chefs in there and I recently discovered he runs other restaurants, including the highly reputable, long running Thakars in town. So you know his standards are high.

Had the mixed grill with some masala chips and a pint of neck oil. It was epic! Will definitely come again next time I'm down

Always amazing food and the staff are very welcoming

Good food, red Stripe on tap .big screens..job done!

Amazing place to go and enjoy drinks with friends and family, and the food is.. Outstanding!

We are so glad to have experienced your catering services for an important family function! You went over and beyond to provide absolutely delicious, quality & wholesome dishes, enjoyed by all! Such professionalism & warmth…We can’t wait to use your services again! Highly recommended for all family/banqueting functions! Thank you!

Only had starters but can't fault the food. Well presented, tasty and a great variety of items. Served quickly and by friendly staff. Well priced too. The feel of the place is more an old pub for the lads with minimal trendy decor ... just a simple place with great food. Perfect for family or friends. Note that there is no car park but street parking outside the venue is free in the evenings.

After seeing the other reviews, just thought of giving a try and it’s just a waste of money. No taste, Messy Presentation, Too oily

The best authentic Indian food, we tried the food there couple of months before but we were disappointed because it was too oily. As we live around one of our friend suggested us to try again and we thought let's give it a try, the food came bang on, we ordered lamb curry, Karachi chicken , palak paneer and Dal makhni. Every dish was spot on but lamb curry won the show. Highly recommended. We gonna be their regular customer now.

Lamb curry bang on nan bread super

Went for wedding food tasting menu, neighborhood pub , busy atmosphere, food ..... amazingly superb, starters,mains .....just so tasty, service quick and polite, owner 👌👌

The worst car wash in London.They wash only half of my car because they was busy and I didn't come out from car to check.Very poor service.Ignore if can

Amazing tandoori chicken and mezze platter

They advertise a Sunday roast and it on the menu on line. When I came to order it they said they only do Indian food and walked away. Didn’t even ask if I wanted something else. Rude

Excellent service,some of the best Indian food we have ever had.Would highly recommend!👌 Thank you for a great service 👍🙂

Excellent service,some of the best Indian food we have ever had ,delicious…for very reasonable price👍Would highly recommend!👌

Food was not good. Two main course items were too sweet it seems by mistake they put sugar instead of salt, never again

Thank you so much for your brilliant catering! The food was phenomenal, the portions were so generous and every single person commented on how tasty it was. Wonderful service, and you have been so great to deal with throughout.

Getting hungry from a long day stopping away from home I popped in Google maps and it came up with this place. Don’t be misled by the old pub like venue. The food choice is superb, I’m a fussy eater and the chef cooked exactly what I wanted to a tee. Beautiful quality, great value and super friendly. I would recommend anyone who’s looking for a genuinely Indian tradition tasting menu in a non traditional venue. Thanks

The food is amazing. Had the lamb Rogan Josh. Excellent 👍. The service was fast . Had chicken tikka starter. Really tasty and really good food. Would very highly recommend this restaurant. No bull it's fantastic food

We ordered for a private party and the Royal Albion went above and beyond our expectations. The food was really good and we were very happy with the portion size too.

Amazing food and really great atmosphere. Highly recommending.

Thank you so much for all the delicious food you provided at our wedding. It was not just the food that was fantastic, but it was the impeccable service that came with it that truly made our day so special. No job was too much for Harpreet and Dips, you provided Indian meals alongside English meals as well as a children’s buffet! We thought that we were asking for too much variety, but you all made it seem so easy and doable. Your table set up was also fantastic and the venue looked amazing with your set up. Dips and Harpreet were professional throughout and their organisation skills were beyond what we could have asked for. I cannot recommend their catering services enough; they were truly amazing!

Wow Wow wow!! The organisation of all the services provided by Dips and Harpreet can only be described as impeccable. No job was too big for them and any request was honoured happily. They accommodated our every need above and beyond. The food was scrumptious. The staff were plentiful and attentive. Attention to detail was noticed by all our guests. On reflection, the whole experience has left us glad that we opted for The Royal Albion above all others. Thanks to you and your professional team you have helped make our wedding day a magical one. Thank you and well done to you all.

Generally just a nice place to visit. I had a portable Lyte charger I needed to return there and the owner was very friendly.

Food has come cold. Ordered meat platter from Uber Eats, half of the platter was missing. Rang up didn't offer anything other than extra food next time. Ridiculous. Never going to have again.

Won't even give one star. Ordered from uber eats and half the order was missing and cold. Then rang them up and they said they had drivers and there nothing they could do

A hidden gem serving authentic Indian food in Hounslow! Neat and clean environment - which I find very rare in this area - greatly enhances overall dining experience. We ordered Karachi paneer, daal Tarka and Raita with tandoori roties. It was the best Indian food we had in the area during our one week stay. Don’t miss this restaurant if you are in Hounslow for whatever reason!

The food is not as good as it shows on the Food Delivery websites. it was clearly too watery and oily so all the taste just goes off the veggies and in water. All we're eating is boiled Potatoes and Gobi with some bland taste. Which is not what you really want. The Naan was OK but not as good as it shows over the websites and apps. It was flat and little chewy. I would still be OK with the Naans if the Veggie was good taste. The food needs to improve!

Delicious and tasty food catered for at my son's 5th birthday! They understood the assignment and delivered a professional service that catered to everyone's palette.. from nuggets for the children right through to to awesome veg tikka for the vegetarians! Everyone was raving about the food. We regularly get a take away from this place and were impressed to see that nothing was missing when the food was served to a large group all at once. Highly recommend this place.. the food is 😋😋😋😋😋😋

The Royal Albion catered for our recent party at home. Harpreet was excellent. Professional. Understood the brief and delivered to a high standard. The food was excellent. Delivered on time. Piping hot and enough for the revellers to have some at 3 am after night out. We had vegetarian food. It was tasty.just enough spicy and very good quality. We will be returning to them for our next party soon. Thank you Harpreet and team.

Very nice Indian food, very spacious pub

Food is good and staff friendly

Friendly atmosphere, friendly staff. Food has been lovely and spot on everytime and consistent good quality. Been here over 5 times and food has been great everytime.

Great food + pint. Will be back

Went for lunch and food was so good Always love this pub. Food is amazing and staff make you feel so welcome Drinks and food good value for money

Alida know how to look after there guest .. Good food nice music perfact place to have chilled beer

I have eaten at many restaurants in 50 years of my life. Many so called upmarket posh restaurant, I have found food standard quality but at Royal Albion you walk in to a place, which is old style pub in a side st of Hounslow area. Thinking what kind of food quality I am and my guests going to enjoy the very first time. After speaking to manager/ owner IVO I was introduced to the chef called Sam because I insisted in meeting the chef, after conversation regarding his experience in restaurant cooking, i was impressed with his record of cooking at top restaurants in Delhi and around the world in 5 stars hotels well after our visit I can write this that you are in for a treat of eating of highest quality, a work of art in cooking in my book. Well done chef SAM from peter patel

Probably the best Indian I have had in a long while!! Nice flavours a bit on the hot spicey side of the road. Nothing a bit of yogurt can sort out!! Hope they keep the standard up as one thing I have noticed is the quality of other good food establishment's letting there standard go.

Very good service on deliveries

Best chef is at the Royal albion. Good food cooked to perfection 👌🏼. Hats off to the chef

Definitely best food in hounslow👍

Disappointed! Ordered takeaway via Uber Eats. No chutneys or sauces to go with the fish. Portions were small including the curry I ordered. The food was tasty but their are better places to order from locally who are equal in taste, do larger portions and always include sauces and chutneys!

Nice place for a beer plus very nice curry.

Brilliant mix grill and great deals We had the large mixes grill deal which had a meat platter full naan bread (chilli garlic and plain ones ) and 4 drinks that’s included alcoholic drinks for nearly £30

Big fan of the food , mixed platter and a biryani is my goto dinner

Called for a take-away order. After being told to hold for approx 5 minutes, eventually got told to call back later!! Poor customer service!

The food was delicious, definitely a place to go back.

Good service nice and fast would recommend

Am a regular customer who enjoys a game of pool but went in last monday 18th Oct and could not get a single of pool cause it was been monopilsed by 3 people who bought one bottle of Budweiser between them over a 3 hour period surely this is not right as our names had been written down as next player and my friend and I had at least 5 pints of lager each so can I request that some kind of rule be made to prevent this from happening again ps we weren't even asked if we wanted to play as before the game finished they were already setting up for next game

More or less how a pub should be safe clean and with all facilities ie sky, clean toilets, food

Tucked away in a quiet street away from the busy hounslow high street. Authentic Indian food. Tasty and good value for money. Their Naan reminded me of the one's you get in India. Great service from the bartender/manager Ivo.

Expensive baby portion sized dishes. Won't be ordering again

Fantastic food friendly staff pool table if you want definitely going back

Food is amazing. Indian cuisine, you will not be disappointed with any starter or main. I recommend the large mixed grill if you're not alone. Sizzling hot plate full of different succulent chicken pieces and lamb chops with onions that add that special flavour.

Good beer and delicious mixed grill! Defo coming back here again.

Absolutely top quality 5* food at more than reasonable prices. They provided catering for a party and it was some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Really good people and beautiful food..

Fantastic local pub which serves mouth watering Indian cuisine. Great vibe and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We Visited here lunchtime on Thursday 5th Jun 2021, and it was empty as just opened at 1pm. Staff really friendly and a lovely clean place. We were able to play pool as less restrictive due to the Covid-19. It is known for it's good food, but we did not eat. Plenty of soft couches and music screens for videos. I can highly recommend this as a lovely place for family to visit.

Good food, good customer service.

Great food, kebabs and lamb chops are most how they used to be when mixed grills became a thing. Great beer on tap and clean!

Excellent food and service. A little gem.

Company called Kebab King are running the kitchen and the food is just amazing! Would strongly recommended the mix grill platters or the butter chicken!

lovely food... right from the start of the aroma till the very last bite.

Nice out of the way pub with pool table . Decent food to go as well

First time here food is great service spot on.

The food is really, really, good. The chefs are so polite. The bartenders are good too and keen on their customers. A place you can keep going back for sure. Oh, almsot 4got affordable!

Most tastiest lamb Biryani but way too many cardamom seeds and other seeds added. Mostly every bite I bit into a cardamom seed, I had to pick them out (see pic). Otherwise very tasty food but there needs to be way less seeds in it. Edit - 15 cardamom seeds and 7 cumin seeds... please reduce this! It doesn't need to be so many.

Nice pub great food and friendly staff
