The Royal Bengal in North Hertfordshire

We came very, very late on a weekday. They let us dine at closing and it was delicious. Me and my friend both thoroughly enjoyed the meal, brilliant food, very tasty and friendly service! Completely recommended!

We’ve been meeting in this restaurant once a month for over 10 years Friendly staff and great food Best Indian restaurant around !!!! Best compliment I could give in all the years of visiting iv never had a bad meal or felt disappointed !!! Keep up the good work guys !!!!!

We always come back to the Royal Bengal for some of the very best Indian food in the area: they are accommodating to vegans and the spices are so well balanced that each dish is individual and delicious. And the ambience is the best: it is a very pretty and immaculately clean interior, with snowy white linen tablecloths, and the service is beyond compare.

Royal Bengal is always good. Food is authentic, well presented & savoury. We’ve tried other restaurants, Bengal is streets ahead. Keep up the good work, a very satisfied customer.

If you love indian foods i will definitely recommend you to go Royston best indian restaurant Which is called THE ROYAL BENGAL TANDOORI RESTAURANT. There food are very tasty,there service and the way they treat you. you will surely go again.

Collected takeaway from here. Took the recommendation from friends but a really bad choice. The Tikka Masala was so over seasoned with cayenne that it was inedible. A real disappointment

Myself and my partner had a child free evening and decided to go into the royal bengal for the first time in a long while, I cannot begin to express how much this this team care for their customers. They took us in late even though they could’ve easily gone home. They had exceptional customer service, their food was nothing short of remarkable. They offer you complimentary drinks after the meal, if you're in royston and like a good Indian meal, GO TO THE ROYAL BENGAL! thank you all, I’d rate you higher if I could, will definitely be coming back soon.

We haven’t visited before and wish we had! The food was incredible. Everything was so delicious. One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to. The service was also impeccable too. The restaurant was clean and seating was comfortable in the nice booths.

Fabulous meal as always in the Royal Bengal - it’s got to be the best Indian/Bangladeshi in Royston for a restaurant. The meat quality and choice of foods are very good indeed

The service was really good but the food was greasy and not great. There were also 6 flies buzzing around the whole time. Just in need of modernisation in there really.

My second visit here and I tried something different, both were really good and tasty. Tandoori King prawn starter and tandoori mixed grill for mains, both were excellent.

After working abroad and COVID so glad to see open for business so had to return for dinner this evening, weekend treat for my girl and I. No doubt the best Biryani (Lamb) we have ever had, as many we have been to plenty of others however, so pleased that there has been no changes in the kitchen. The service was excellent as was our meal, definately the best indian restaurant in Royston. Our thanks to the staff and the kitchen for another top quality meal, the depth of indian cuisine and table manner was in abundance this evening, we shall see you again soon!

A meal for 1 tonight, but it was one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever eaten at, and the service was really good as well. Absolutely faultless for me and very highly recommended.

You will not be disappointed, the best curry in Royston area. Food is still piping hot once home after picking up takeaway. 100% Worth the price!

We always loved the RB before Covid, and have now returned for a curry or two since they reopened. We all enjoyed the food - as before - but now I should add that we are also very impressed with the cleanliness: all staff are masked (just in case...) and can be seen to clean tables etc between clients. They take the anti-Covid measures seriously. There’s even oodles of high quality hand wash and face masks for customers (E.g. take away clients) upon arriving. We felt perfectly safe and we would like to acknowledge the efforts of management and staff. Thanks Jay and team! Mr Mike, Susanne, Claire and Pierre.

This is a top priced curry house and used to provide food to match. I paid the extra because the food was good. last Thursday I ordered a take-away which was very poor. The have either lost their chef or are cutting costs. I would have called the meal average at best also it was single course for 2 people at 45 pounds - they should have been wearing a mask. Try another curry house in the town

Avoid. Began by our starter being taken away from the table before we had even finished, reason was that our main was ready?! Waitor or started clearing our table before we’d even finished the meal, even asked ‘are you done yet’. The restaurant hardly had anyone queuing to get in. Food was different to what was ordered and when raised with the waitor a forced apology was all we were given. Generally shocking as this place used to be great. Would not recommend. Plenty of other Indian restaurants in the town that have some level of basic customer service training. Clearly changed ownership, and quite funny to see the awards displayed on the wall, the last one being nearly 10 years ago!! Says it all!!

I visit this restaurant once a month with friends. The food here is great. The owner seems to be very well known locally and he seems outgoing and friendly. The staff are attentive but don't hover which is great. But the main reason for this review is to mention the food. As there is a group of us the dishes ordered vary. They are all plentiful and cooked to perfection. Side dishes are also well sized. I think the prices are reasonable too. I can thoroughly recommend this place. If you are reading this because you're unsure to visit or not take yourself there. You won't regret it.

I currently work in Royston & from the moment I walked in it was a friendly welcome!!, excellent table, prompt courteous service & the food was brilliant, plus a complimentary Brandy at the end of the meal!!, I will be back!!!

Decided at last moment to go out on a Friday night . Chanced upon the Royal Bengal and although reasonably busy they were able to make room for 4 of us . Overall the service was excellent as both food and drinks were brought promptly. The table had a number of various dishes and all were very good and were decent portions . We will be back

Called in early on a Friday night, they quickly made space for us and the four of us enjoyed a very tasty, reasonably priced meal. Would definitely eat there again.

Working away and decided on a Indian, fantastic. Smiley and attentive staff but the food was simply wonderful...well done chef. Definitely recommend. Regards, Coventry Mike

Dined here on several occasions whilst working in the area , The staff were always welcoming and managed to fit us in even when we hadn't booked, even though the place was always busy . Excellent food every time and very welcoming staff. Highly recommend.

This restaurant has been in Royston for years , it is easy to see why , the food is excellent …every time

Pre-booked the evening before, a table for five; myself, my Nan, my partner & two children (aged 9years & 6years old).Myself & my Nan’s Birthday’s are two days apart, so I thought that we would treat her to a curry, as she quite enjoys them. We were running quite late as certain roads in our area were closed due to relaying the roads. I phoned & updated them that we would be late, which they were very understanding. We were seated quickly & our drink orders taken quickly too. Also, asked if we would like popadoms & how many. They were shortly brought out before receiving our drinks which arrived directly after. Myself & my partner decided to have Starters. I chose Prawn Purée & my partner chose Chicken Tikka Starter. Then, for our Mains, my children chose; Chicken Tikka Masala with Plain Rice & Lamb Tikka Masala with Rice. My Nan had Chicken Tikka Biryani which traditionally comes with a vegetable curry. My partner had Chicken Tikka Garlic Rogan with Pilau Rice & I had Chicken Tikka Balti with Mushroom Rice. We always have a fantastic meal here, whether it’s an eat in meal or a takeaway. The staff are friendly, very child friendly too. Polite, attentive, well manned, well dressed. Overall, a fantastic meal!

Recommend by colleague, not a problem with table for 1 early Friday evening. Discreet polite professional service, extensive menu. Was busy with take out collections. Enjoyed my popadoms , starter and mains and a pint. 25 pounds and a Baileys c/o of the house. Will return

Had a night out in Royston with work colleagues. We went to the Royal Bengal for food after and we all enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and the service was good. I ate so much that I had to take some home with me. Everyone enjoyed the choice in the menu too. Perhaps we will be back soon.

The husband and I have been coming here years and never once been disappointed. Amazing food, excellent service. Great value for money. We have moved away now and still make sure we go back a few times a year.

Six of us visited Royal Bengal last Wed evening. 11/4/18. We ordered our own favourite dishes. Food was presented well. The flavours were on the money. This Restaurant never fails to deliver.

The best Indian Cuisine in Royston. Food always very good, service excellent and attentive. Always happy to return and eat at this restaurant.

First time at this restaurant. The food was lovely and the staff were friendly. Average prices. Would visit again

Always good food with good and friendly staff - been visiting fairly regularly on a Friday night. Certainly worth a visit if you’re in the area!!

There was soooo much sugar added to all the main courses. The mattar paneer looked like nothing you have ever seen. No peas, but beans instead!! Teo ladies in the table next door told the waiter that they ordered two different chicken dishes but the both tasted the same!! Total rubbish.

My partner and I visited this restaurant last night having had a lovely takeaway previously, what a disappointing and shocking experience. Firstly there was a table of approx.10 nearby who were so loud we could hardly hear each other, I commented on the noise level to a waiter who replied 'yeah they'll probably just get louder if I say something...' OK not a great response but will let it go (maybe it's a one off and I don't want to spoil anyone's fun). Next the food... the chicken biryani was lovely, my partner had Chicken tikka Jalfry, the chicken was hard and the dish was tasteless, not what one would expect had it been cooked in a tandoor. The final straw was when I witnessed a waiter serving the large group their food and he actually ATE a chip from the food he was serving, I was absolutely disgusted that he thought this was acceptable behaviour, if this is happening in view of the customers what on earth is happening to the food served behind the scenes??!! I have worked in the service industry all my working life and would not tolerate this service from any of my staff, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I visited with some work colleagues, every one commented on the good quality of the food - as a good indictor two of my colleagues are Indian and have a very discerning palate!!

Soy un amante de curry y han vivido en royston durante décadas y restaurantes indios visto/ventajas vienen y van, así que sé que mi camino cuando se trata de los indios locales. Mi crítica no le constan de por qué este restaurante es tan genial, pero como he mencionado, mi afore en ellos calificaciones calificación.

Tuvimos la suerte de conseguir una mesa cuando nos alojamos en Royston cuando llamamos a la oportunidad de una mesa. La lección es reservar una mesa unos días antes de que están planeando asistir como todas las mesas estaban llenas y convertido completamente en el 1 1 / 2 horas que estuvimos allí.

This used to be the best curry house around , not anymore, prices have increased by 25% & more for...

Estado aquí muchas veces, nunca tuve nada pero una comida deliciosa y siempre tenía fantástica, el servicio de entretenimiento de gran personal esperando. Sin duda vale la pena una visita, mejor restaurante indio de la ciudad.

Hemos visitado muchas veces a lo largo de los años. La comida más reciente fue un paseo improvisada en Bank holiday el lunes. Como siempre, siempre amable, con buen servicio y comida sabrosa. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?

La mejor casa de curry en Royston. La comida era fantástica y el personal amable y acogedor. El equipo ofrecen unas recomendaciones sobre platos nuevos e interesantes. Decoración le vendría bien una puesta al día, de lo contrario hubiera sido un 5 estrellas.

No puedo expresar lo increíble la comida está aquí. Literalmente todo es muy buena, y el personal es muy agradable y pasar tiempo haciendo de esto una gran experiencia.

Este restaurante sabe eso: el personal es de primera clase, saben sus clientes y cuidar de ellos. Servicio de atención al cliente es 100%.

The Royal Bengal have a strong menu covering all the classics and a few chef's surprises aswell. Although the interior is tight you will be well looked after. If you are looking for a well seasoned curry, with a range of spiced up side dishes - with no frills - then this is the restaurant for you

Always fresh, wide variety on menu including starters range of curries and biriyanis. Tastey good food and very reasonably priced.

This was the very first Indian restaurant that I visited back in the 1970's. At that time I thought I could eat a curry (after the era typical Vesta packet rubbish) so I ordered a Madras. It blew my socks off.Since then it has changed hands (but only once I think) and I reviewed this restaurant in May 2015. Due to the distance I have not been there since but this week I had occasion to re-visit. The food remains excellent and the service was faultless. It remains one of the best Indian restaurants in the area.

good food ...great choice all well prepared and served . Friendly staff... all in all a good local curry house that serves its community very well

We use the Bengal on a weekly basis for takeaways, so It made a nice change to eat in.The food is always good and consistent. We are yet to have a bad meal from here. Always accommodating and well looked after. All tandoori dishes are excellent, and always more than willing to adjust spice to liking.

How sad that a place like this which once offered a warm welcome, good service and good food has lost the plot completely.Ordering was torture and the order was checked twice by other members of staff. When our main course arrived there was no room for everything on the table and the two waiters were truculent and difficult about where they placed everything and gave the impression it was our fault. With very poor grace they left dirty serving trolley beside us to accommodate a single naan. One member of our party ordered a second drink and once again the service was surly and unpleasant.Worse was to come when we asked to take the leftovers home and were told that if we took more than two containers we would be charged 50p per tray.The degree of truculence increased measurably and the whole manner of the waiter was nothing short of hostile, he threw empty dishes and cutlery on the table and glared at members of our party.It has been customary in this establishment for complementary drinks to be served this did not happen and a box of Quality Street was shoved at us in the most ignorant way imaginable.It is to be noted that the proprietor was absent and that his staff are clearly letting him down when he is not there. The staff should note too that the proprietor is known to us and will be informed directly, it disappoints us to write this report of a most unpleasant experience.

We had pre booked for 7.30pm. Arrived a few minutes before. We were kept waiting for a few minutes without any real explanation as to why. The staff were muttering away to each other, but not us. We were told if you can wait half an hour, we can put you on this table. (People were still seated there and eating!). Or we can put you on this table, but you must be gone by nine. Given the restaurant was 80% empty I wasn't really sure what was going on. The waiter just kept saying "I'm trying to get you a nice table". We were eventually sat at a table, which we could hardly fit around, so we moved to another table. Which again was so a very tight fit. The chairs are built as booths and are fixed. The gap between the table and the chair back is way to small. The 4 of us squeezed in, and put up with it. There was no real room to move, and when the food arrived the plates were touching out clothes. The whole thing felt like a child's table. You are probably thinking we are 4 huge people, but we are not. The food was average Indian. The service was quick thankfully, as we really wanted to get out of the seats. £125 for 4 people to be squeezed in to a stupidly small table, to eat fairly average food and come away feeling like we were an inconvenience to the staff by turning up. They have a few good tables, where the chairs move, and they clearly know that have a problem, so why not remodel a little so people are comfortable. Rather that cram as many in as possible. We left, went to the pub over the road, where we could feel comfortable. We won't be going again.

Always fantastic service and outstanding food. The staff here never fail to deliver. Couldn't ask for a better place to enjoy food and good company.

On a "good day"the food and service make this Indian restaurant the best in Town.This is not always the case though and the problem can be compounded by the man who appears to run the restaurant in the owners absence.Definite attitude problem.The rest of the staff however are brilliant in both their attitude and profrssionalism.It must be said that there are more good days than bad.Always advisable to book as there is limited space

We were warmly welcomed and seated quickly. Once installed were were given Menus, asked if we would like Popadoms and Drinks and these arrived very smartly. Our order was taken and the freshly cooked starters arrived in 5 minutes. Our Main Courses were also delivered in a timely manner by pleasant and friendly waiters.The food portions were very generous, taste and quality met with our approval.The only negative is the size of the seating banquettes, hence you'd only want to sit next to a small-framed person. The restaurant was nicely decorated and public areas spotlessly clean.

We've recently moved to the area and have already had a couple of very nice experiences with the Royal Bengal. Lovely staff and a great selection of dishes.

Been there 3 times each time was a bad experience 1 time ask for vindaloo made so hot it was in edible. 2nd time had to wait along time and service was crappie. 3rd time when with brother are not exactly small but put us on such a small table they had to turn it at an angle so we could eat our food.would not go again and would recommend it

We booked the restaurant for 7.30pm on the Saturday and found that it was quite busy when we entered. Ordered our drinks and poppadum's, of which we had to eventually ask for the drinks as they hadn't arrived although by then we had eaten the poppadum's.The meal was nice and hot, plenty for all four of us. The seating was a bit tight as thechairs seemed to be pushed in and as my husband has had a knee and hip replacement he was uncomfortable sitting in one position. Overall apart from eating out on such a busy evening of which I would not go again on a Saturday, and also found the price a bit on the steep side, we did enjoy the meal.

We often go the the Royal Bengal and the food is brilliant, They even adjust dishes to your own taste.

The staff at the royal bengal make it - they always squeeze us in, remember favourites, and guide us through the menu. They will make anything to taste (which is useful for me as I'm not great with super spicy food - I just ask and they make me a mild version). So many options on the menu, all made fresh and always delicious.

Staff are always very attentive. Food is consistently good. Great variety. Always a good takeaway too.

Five for a family birthday meal enjoyed a variety of starters, mains, side dishes and sundries. Everything was tasty and the service was good. Good value.

One of the best meals I have had in ages. Can be a wait to be seated due to small seating area, but well worth the wait.

What an absolute pile of dung! It took 30 minutes to be seated even though we had booked a table, the service was slow, the nan bread was cold, we were placed under the air conditioner (the waiter tried saying that the air conditioning must have made the nan bread cold), the lemon rice was full of lemon peel, pips & onion, we had to send back the nan bread as the meal would have been cold by the time they brought out a new lot. Maybe it was because they were busy......on a Sunday.......with 5 customers? It may be good for Royston, but for everywhere else this place is pretty poor. If I could give no stars I would gladly give a minus number.

Dinner here with friends, all different selections, all of them very good. So many choices we needed the staff to help with the selection, but it was really good food.

Under a different name this was the first Indian restaurant in Royston, back in the 1970s Other have been others but this is the one we use on a regular a r basis, both for dinner and take aways

Although standard Indian menu the quality of the food served is very good. Although some of the tables are a bit cramped when it's full this is soon forgotten once the food is out. Courteous enough staff and service.The food is the draw.

We come here as often as we can and it's always delicious. Great for couples, families and big groups - super efficient and accommodating no matter what. Lovely staff and a warm welcome every visit.

Had a really good curry here on Friday night. Accepted reservation at short notice, glad we booked as it was busy even early in the evening. Very pleasant atmosphere and good service without being over-bearing. Food was very good, chicken chat was a top choice and my dansak was great. Definitely eat here again.

I love this place! Just been for the first time and the curry was excellent! The lamb portion was very generous and was so tender and tasty. The staff were very friendly and gave an excellent service. I would highly recommend this restaurant - the best place for curry in Royston.

A very good quality Indian. Food is always of a very high standard.Staff work very hard to accommodate you. Restaurant very clean.Staff very pleasant.

Since our local Indian in Buntingford changed hands and suffered a loss of quality we decided on recommendation to try this restaurant in Royston. Wow, what great food. When I went to pick up the order it was really busy but the result of great food was clear when we sat down to eat. It reminded me of what our local was like but better. Thanks Royal Bengal. We will be back.

I can honestly say that this is a decent Indian restaurant. Reasonably priced and tasty food. I wouldn't go as far as saying it is incredible but it was good enough.The service, like most Indian restaurants was fantastic!! The Indians do know how to be good waiters and are always there to help. The food was very tasty and I know that everyone was full up at the end of the meal.I feel that this restaurant would go in the category of a standard Curry house, I wouldn't say it was one of the best but then again, I wouldn't say it was one of the worst. I had a good evening and I am sure I will go again.

We live locally and when we decide to eat an Indian Meal we have no hesitation in returning to The Royal Bengal !!! Food and Service is consistently good we always enjoy the dining experience.

This is the best Indian and in top 5 places locally. Great staff great food and good atmosphere. I have visited the place for close to 20 years it never lets you down. I know the owners has changed but it's kept the quality and perhaps improved the service. I travel a lot and rate this restaurant as good and better than the vast majority.

We usually go here when we want a Indian as we haven't found any where better! I could not fault the food or service here! We can't get a curry any where else as no where will do as nice a curry as the Royal Bengal do!

Had a reasonable meal, but service a bit hit and miss, and despite the complementaries and offer of a brandy, could have done a bit better.Dishes compared to Solihull a bit different, tikka masalla very good, everything else was just OK.

Had dinner on a Friday night. Nice atmosphere. Good service and food and reasonably priced too. It's quite small inside but this makes it feel nicely intimate. All in all a good evening.

Enjoyed plenty of meals at this restaurant over the years both as The Bengal and Raj. Recently noticed quite a decline in the quality of the food here, dining in one night during the week and my partner's Tikka Masala was pretty tasteless and a very off putting "in your face" red colour. My lamb curry was swimming in oil :( Maybe the chef's day off?Unfortunately same results when collecting a takeaway last weekend :(

Went for a last minute dinner with my partner. We were found a table quickly despite not having a booking.Food was good quality and delicious, the staff were not too invasive but still friendly. The bill was very reasonable, definitely will be back to try it out again!

Popped in for dinner on Friday evening. Very reasonably priced, the food I presume is cooked fresh and was delicious! Staff are polite, we will be back again!

The food is very very good, cooked fresh as it is better to place an order before your visit to save time.All the menu is well prepared and presented and enjoyed.

Been here many a times, always a great curry, always get a table here and very reasonable on price. Staff are lovely and well attentive.

We live local and have enjoyed many visits to this great Restaurant but for some reason we have not been recently until on returning from Holiday we decided to pop in for a meal. We had not booked on arrival it was busy for a Monday Evening but they did get us a table straight away. Food & Service was excellent as always delivers both really well. A very enjoyable evening.

Cards on the table, I worked in this restaurant when it was the 'British Raj' about 35 years ago.It was my birthday, so I thought I'd look in and see what it's like now. I have visited since I worked there,but not since the place changed hands.It's s small restaurant, in an L shape which previous knowledge tells me is because it goes round the back of the shop beside it. Also within the elbow of the 'L' are the toilets, which makes them convenient to everyone. The decor is painted cream walls,which look clean but a bit austere. There is a certain flexibility in seating, but I'd estimate room for no more than about 60 people.It was 8pm on a Wednesday evening, so we hadn't bothered to book. The manager seemed a bit put out with that, but given that there were about 10 people already eating there was room for us. We were shown to a table for 4 which seemed a bit undersized, this seemed to be standard however,the L shape is not ideal for a restaurant,and they need space for people to get past.We ordered drinks. My daughters ordered cokes, I had a Cobra and my partner a whisky and coke. The cokes which were produced were flat, and my partner was given a severely limited choice of whiskies (Jack Daniels or Grouse. Since she likes neither she went with Southern Comfort). We sent the coke back and got an equally poor coke and a strange tasting ginger ale instead. We gave up. The food, however, was very nice. It would be helpful if the menu explained a bit more, and I think absolute newbies to curry would struggle, but there is the usual mix and brief descriptions of hotness. Most of it is generic, whereas I look for things I haven't tried before, so I went for the chicken tawa, which was nice. The family liked the taste of what they had selected as well, and the portions were generous.On the whole,I'd recommend this restaurant for the food, however I felt the service was merely adequate and the drinks poor.

Cards on the table, I worked at this restaurant 35 years ago, when it was the British Raj and under different management.The restaurant is small, I'd estimate it at about 60 covers, and is in an odd 'L' shape, like a long corridor from the front to the kitchen. From previous experience, I know this is because it consists of the High Street property and properties on the next street over (Upper King Street). The walls have lost the floche wallpaper and now are plain cream paint, which gives the place a clean, slightly 'antiseptic' feel.We have been to the restaurant since it changed management, but it was some time ago, and may have been before the current management.It was my birthday, so I fancied trying the Bengal. Being a Wednesday evening we hadn't booked, which seemed to put them out, however after a short wait we were shown to a table for four (my partner, our daughters and I) which however seemed a little small for our comfort. I understand that space is at a premium in what is effectively a long corridor with a corner in it, but it seemed a little claustrophobic to me, and again it seemed to put out the staff when I moved the table slightly away from the wall.My only criticism would be the drinks. My pint of Cobra was fine, however my partner wanted a whisky and coke, and was offered a choice of JD or grouse, neither of which she likes. She eventually went for Southern Comfort. My daughters had a coke each, which was flat and watery. We sent them back and asked for a ginger ale for my eldest instead. The replacement coke was no better, and the ginger ale was again flat and watery.When I go to an Indian restaurant, I look for the unusual. The menu consists of three A4 pages, but to be fair there is a lot to choose from, there just isn't much explanation of what things are. A working knowledge of Indian meals would certainly be an advantage. Most of the offerings are the generic variety, however my family tell me their selections were tasty and well executed. I went for a chicken tawa, which was (unusually, as stated above) described as a Punjabi dish. It was tasty and well presented, although I had to cut it up since I was eating it with chapatis. It was tasty enough that I ate too much and regretted it later, but that is in no way the fault of the restaurant. They didn't have any problem with us taking my daughters remaining prawn curry and remaining bindi and mushroom bajhee home with us.I'm puzzled why there was such a problem with the soft drinks, otherwise the meal and the service was fine. The total bill for 4 meals including drinks was about £80, which seems good value to me.

me and my work colleagues had a fantastic meal here, the food, service, and hospitality are top notch

Best Indian in Royston. Its only quite a small restaurant so is sometimes worth booking if going at prime time. The staff are very friendly and you get a free drink at the end of the meal. Love the food, never had a bad meal here and the service is pretty quick. Definitely recommend and will no doubt be going back very soon.

Went there without booking on the off chance for our wedding anniversary - We had a really nice meal and the staff are friendly - just love this restaurant - been to others in town - but we think this one is the better one.

The food is always good here you are never disappointed ! The service is good and the variety of dishes is excellent

We called in on the off chance at 7.00pm on a Friday evening. The restaurant is quite small and as one might expect, it was fully booked. We were about to leave when the owner/manager informed us that there was one table available but only until 8.00pm. As this visit was only for food, and not an occasion we agreed that if they could serve it, we could eat it in that time scale.Well, both parties were as good as their word. The meal was served up promptly and was first class. We have one favourite Indian restaurant closer to home but this was just as good, if not better. It's a bit of a trek for us but next time we are passing we will make sure to book.

We had a really nice meal here, our waiter was very attentive & advised us on potential dishes to order. Didn't get the same good vibe from the other waiters though.We hadn't booked & the manager/owner wasn't that impressed but as it was pm, we were given a table, the restaurant started filling up around 8 am, which was the time we were told the table would be needed from. Almost enough time to finish our courses but not coffee after. Food averaged out at £20 each & we did have a lot of food.If we visited Royston again, we would go back.

Really enjoy going here. Great belly busting curry of high quality. The staff are brilliant. Can't do enough for you. Free brandy or Baileys at the end as well.

Consistently delicious dishes,tasty and pleasing to the eye. Clean surroundings, all of the staff have a pleasant attitude. One of the best Asian restaurants around.

We often eat at the Royal Bengal our get a takeaway, very friendly and helpful staff with a wide menu - I would recommend the South Indian Garlic Chicken or Chicken Tawa, reasonable, priced and would thoroughly recoomend !

Been here a few times, mainly with family, is a fantastic meal with great menu variation. Nicely well decorated and clean restaurant.The only drawback is that it is quite cramped, the 6 of us were sat on a table that looks the size for 4Recommend any one to try

Very nice food and the staff are very welcoming. Have always enjoyed our meal from the Royal Bengal. We either have a take away or sit in the restaurant. Would recommend

I used to visit this place years ago, moved away and now back in the area I tried it again. Although it has changed hands, it is still the best Indian food in Royston. The decor has changed to more a modern (but bland) type but the service is still great and the staff were very helpful and nice. The manager was a bit unfriendly but he was having to deal with a drunk man waiting for a take away so I can fully understand why he came across as unfriendly, the poor man was having to remain professional in the face of abuse! Very much enjoyed our evening here and will be returning soon

The food was ok, not the best, Had a problem with our meal, the Manager was not interested, definate lack of customer service, it was the first time to this place with friends and it lacked an atmosphere, reminded me of an old wimpy

The best Indian ( actually Bangladesh) food in the area. The food is consistently good and fresh. The food is well balanced with both well known dishes as well as some lest well known.The staff here are just good. They work hard and provide a good level of staff satisfaction.The same quality is maintained in their take away. By far the best in Royston and surrounding areas as far as Bassingbourne and Baldock.

After moving out of the area 3 years ago I returned with my partner for a meal last night, the food was excellent and the service was good too, my partner was bowled over at the standard and quality of our food saying it was the best she had ever had, I tend to agree as at approaching fifty have frequented many establishments so making the hour journey was well worth it. Small interior so would recommend booking if you want a quiet table, we were sat next to a party of eleven of different ages who were the loudest Northerners I have ever heard south of the Wash!In short great food reasonably priced with good service, what more could you want when going out for an indian meal, well done staff.Mac & Donna

Good old fashioned curry house that serves well prepared food at reasonable prices What you see is what you get !
