The royal oak Indian cuisine in Walsall - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

i have always been a picky eater and had never really tried many curries until The Royal Oak. their vegetable dhansak has changed my life for the better - if i was on death row and had to pick a last meal, they better hit up The Royal Oak because they are the best in the business. i have dined in and i have had takeaways. both are life changing. great friendly staff, super clean, idk about the price because usually my stepdad buys it but i’m sure its all good and fair shout out to their mango chutney

Place has gone down hill in the last year, after the Christmas dinner just gone, when my dad was a rushed into hospital and died a week later, my mum and my partner still went to the meal as dad wasn't that bad that day, they still charged for his meal even know they take a deposit for people not turning up, and trying to explain he was in hospital. Tonight ordered lamb tikka pathia which is supposed to be a little sweet and spicy, I took one bite and it was like eating sweat and sour dish, not interested in refunding us, as I don't want another dish from there. More interested in taking money but not customers satisfaction. Will avoid this place from here on.

Absolutely lovely restaurant to eat, food was amazing, will highly recommend 👌

Great food, great service.. was extremely busy but still not a massive wait.

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere and brilliant service from Ray and the team. Will definitely be visiting again soon

Always nice food,friendly staff. Nice clean welcoming place.

Been here a number of times, food is always fantastic. Service is great, nicely decorated inside. Reasonable price, ample parking onsight. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and service, couldn't fault it.

Took family there,great food, good service nice atmosphere would highly recommend

Food is amazing can't. Deny. It but the delivery is rediculous waited forever for our food ordered from just eat nearly an. Hour later than stated

Nice place very friendly staff, curries are great. Only let down was fish pakoras heavily salty

Ordered food from here, bash delivered the food in a quick and very polite manner. Will use again !

Visited this evening was our first visit and was looking forward to it! On arrival was a little worried as food rating was 4, however decor was lovely and staff very welcoming! We ordered lamb mushroom balti, garlic chilli chicken with rice, cheese and chilli nann with chips! Had poppadoms to start they were fine! Our food came my husbands garlic chilli chicken was in a bowl, mine came in a balti bowl and i was given a plate, i added my balti, rice and chips however when i cut into my meat it was chicken!? I called a waiter over and said it wasnt what i ordered he said but is it ok?! No i explained I ordered lamb! He took it away and later returned with my lamb balti! I explained that my chips and rice were on the previous plate, he later returned with rice which i can only explain as looking like it has been tipped out of a take way box with the square shape still on top and looked nothing like our previous rice! And no additional chips! When i said the rice was no good he replied "lovely thank you" in the meantime my husband has finished his meal! The lamb balti was terrible tough dry lamb! I went over and spoke to the manager away from my table explained what has happened, i said we were happy to pay for our drinks but not the food! He stressed my husband had eaten his so it needed to be paid for! I explained we could of just left but i was happy to pay for drinks! After a while he said don't pay for anything! Disappointed first time ever I have never paid for a meal! Positives staff friendly and lovely setting! Please sort out the food could be a gold mine! ☺️

I’ve come here a couple of times in the past and enjoyed it, so I’m sad to be posting this. I came in a group of 4 last night. Two of the group had lamb and both have had food poisoning today. The other two of us are fine as we had prawn and chicken, so presuming there was some dodgy lamb used and contaminated the other two dishes.

Ordered around 60 pounds worth of food the biggest regret was going to this place food was horrible not full cooked either had a bite of it then the rest was left they should be ashamed selling food like that also came cold if I could give a 0 star rating I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time here

Only if there was a option to leave zero stars rating. The food and service was terrible. We ordered a take away it was cold. The naan was burnt and dry. The food was bland. We ordered 2 lots of butter chicken and required one to be spicy, they did not complete the order correctly, as they didn't cook a spicy butter chicken. We rang and complained told us to take pictures and send them. Done that, they rang us back and gave a lecture instead of resolving the problem. This was the first time and the last time I will order from here.

Definitely within my top 5 restaurants in the west midlands. Prices are really good, food is amazing and staff are very welcoming. This restaurant is a must

Never had a bad meal...fine dinning for sure....loverly ambiance and terrific service...

This is our go-to Indian restaurant. Staff are always friendly & accommodating. Food is consistently good & always hot on arrival. Even when super busy, you aren't rushed into ordering.

Very nice friendly restaurant. Service good and food lovely.

Very cozy place with good food and nice, professional staff. An excellent place for a date, a family event or a work do.

Never again! Dont get me wrong, the staff were lovely and the food tasted nice at the time, however, within 1 hour of getting home, the obvious food poisoning symptoms started. Spent the entire night in the bathroom chucking my guts up. It is all I had to eat all day so I know it was this restaurant.

Friendly service, quaint atmosphere, food is good. Worth going back.

First visit to this lovely restaurant, friendly staff, ambient lighting and good food all contributed to a nice evening meal. Will definitely return.

Quite empty, seated quickly. Food was a long wait. Honestly, food was a little too pretentious for wallsall in my opinion. Starters came out. Dynamite prawn, only 2 prawns per portion. Mains were decently sized, just bland though no flavour to be honest. Staff are friendly and attentive, decor is nice.

Really great restaurant. It wasn't overly busy inside. Service was good, not over attentive and when you need someone, no one is looking around to grab their attention. The only downside I'd say is they had a closed dessert place next door that said is opening soon but they said the same last year. There were no desserts on the main menu but after we finished eating, we weren't offered any extra dessert menu and were told after that they did have one. That was a shame because we probably would have ordered. Also their signage outside says they do a Sunday buffet which sounds great but when we asked they don't do it anymore, in that case they should remove the sign as it is misleading. All in all, food was tasty and great atmosphere.

Food was very dry and small portions and slightly expensive for what it is and didn't have strongbow on tap and tasted like jarred produce no smell of cooking we had a table if four and was only set up for 3 had to ask for the other stuff I think it may have changed hands but sadly put me off won't be going back

Had a delicious meal at The Royal oak tonight, for my birthday as a family of 4.The naan was so nice as was the chicken curry. My family all enjoyed their meals too. Will definitely be returning soon. Thanks guys!

Great bunch of guys, great service. Food absolutely top notch, as always.

First time tonight, service excellent, beer perfect, curry was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Keema Naan was ace and mixed kebab starter was great. Clean well kept establishment. 5 stars from me!

Awful Empty at 7 pm on a Saturday night tells all you need to know A flat restaurant with poor food and no atmosphere. Won’t last long from what I have seen tonight

Absolutely love it here food is really tasty, lovely people who run it

It was the first time dining at the The Royal Oak Indian Cuisine. Me and my boyfriend had drinks , starters, and main. We loved the food, and the decor in there was so lovely, and lovely lighting which gave a relaxing atmosphere. Staff was friendly and the price was very reasonable. We are definitely going to dine here again, and try there takeaways 😋

Been a couple of times and eaten in and also had a couple of takeaways food is excellent and value for money

Superb food, eating in or takeaway.

Had meal during the week for myself and partner, service was first-class. Lovely atmosphere, clean and well set out. Wonderful food, very tasty, cooked to perfection and no long waiting time to enjoy it. Well worth the money, but we did have an expensive bottle of wine. Thank you Royal Oak.

Amazing food excellent service 100% recommended! Have been going a few times now but finally got round to celebrating it on Tripadvisor! Really good curry, lovely service and beautiful surroundings

Poor service, food was OK when it eventually arrived but was barley warm. 40 minutes wait between starter and main. We had the 4 course special menu but didn't wait for the 4th course.

I've had regular deliveries from this restaurant for quite a while now, beautiful food, never had a single complaint. I noticed tonight a new delivery driver, very polite and friendly, a credit to your excellent company.

First time visiting and will definitely go again. Plenty of choice on the menu. Food was some of the best we've had and the staff were very freindly. Probably worth booking a table rather than just walk in at the weekend. We went at 6pm and it was fairly quiet, by the time we left it was almost full.

Lovely environment.Tasty food.Friendly staff.Good value for 4 cource offer available Wed-Sun .

Enjoyed a great meal with friends and family. Staff very attentive and friendly.

Booked a table for 5.30 on the 25th of Feb for a family meal , We have never been to this curry house and wasn't disappointed we were shown to our table as soon as we went in the waiter came over ad took our drinks order and we had some poppadoms. We then ordered 2 chicken pakora starters , then for mains we had the mixed grill 2 chicken massala , chips , nann bread and bombay potatoes. We didn't wait long for our food and it was hot when it came to the table the place is really clean and staff are friendly food reasonably price would recommend this place

Nice modern restaurant. Great choice of food at decent prices. There is a 4 course set meal price Sunday to Wednesday as well. Good food and service. Would recommend 👌

1st time I have ordered from here and definitely the last time too! Sloppy tasteless balti with hardly any meat served with cold keema and chips. Most went in the bin. Not for me, sorry!

Absolute waste of money. Ordered prawn balti which was cold and only had 3 prawns. Saagwalla was cold. Chips was raw and cold. Poppadoms was greasy. All we done was dip the keema naan into the juice of the curries. I called to inform them how I found tonight's order to be spoken to rudely and basically called a liar! Wont use them again waste of £30. Very disappointed. Many complaints on Google reviews / just eat reviews tonight so it isn't just me. Please don't waste your money.

Ok for a quite evening, don't like the waiters hovering over you as if they can't wait for you to order eat and pay the bill considering no one was in the place except us

Always a great night when we go here shame you can't give more stars for service

Very poor food chicken curry was very salty and unbeatable completed and was ask if I wanted another said no went to pay the bill and was charged for the curry I didn't eat then they reduced it by £2 I SAID THAT WAS NOT GOOD ENOGHT he then said I had eaten 4 pieces of chicken out of th6 which was a lie I tried a pieces and the wife tried it very bad staff also no larger as beer was flat and only diet coke avalble would not eat ere again not just me five of my family said my curry was terrible

Start of coke was flat had to change it to diet then no carling had to have some other brand that was terible Very poor food chicken curry very salltey complained ask if I wanted another one I said no as it had put me off then as I went to pay they still charge me for it then reduce it by £2 saying I had eaten the 4 out of the 6 pieces chicken which only 2 pieces was missing as my wife tried it not happy at all would not eat ere agin very poor staff. (Also tried to say no salt in the curry) only positive was the chips.

We went with friends and it was ok. I have a dislike for restaurants where there is smell of overused cooking oil and there was that smell here. That said the king prawns were great, they butterfly them and there was a good portion.

Booked the table online, greeted on entry to very festive atmosphere. We had the meal deal which was excellent quality and the portion was good too! Oh and really quick service!

Discussed with the tasting ov the food even sent out the wrong food and denied it.

Had a lovely tasty curry, staff were friendly and couldn't do enough, so helpful. Atmosphere was great. Would definitely recommend trying. You won't be disappointed.

Seven of us visited for my daughters 11th Bday, she and her brother had Fish and Chips, but the Fish was solid. Neither of them ate it. We told the waiter, and the manager, but they refused to amend the bill, stating, "I tried it, and we've sold so many Fish today, it must have been OK". Well, that's shocking customer service, and they've lost all future orders from us, and for the newly opened dessert shop next door too. Shame. We're not the kind of family to ever complain, but felt this time it was called for. Just think, for not even taking one of the fish off the £130 bill, they've lost probably a couple hundred pounds per year. While I'm at it too, they had a limited number of wines available, no J2O's, and the menu I first opened literally had sticky food inside it. We'll be taking our meals elsewhere from now on. Major lesson in Customer Service required

A warm welcome, always best to book, although I'm sure they do walk-ins. Good varied menu, chef's specialities, standard baltis and great side dishes. Lovely fluffy chapattis and naans. Can be a bit slow when large groups are in, but it's acceptable. Worth a visit. Licenced, but a couple of liveners at the nearby #Manor Arms wouldn't go amiss.

Very nice food and friendly, helpful staff. 1st class night out.

Food was fantastic, service was excellent and the banquet deal is great value. Highly recommend

Friendly staff .Food great and very clean .

So we had a very rare evening out without our baby, ordered our food and drinks. popadoms and starter arrived ate them taste was satisfactory I proceeded to tidy plates when I lifted tray up there was a massive piece of chewed up chewing gum on the side of the plate and on the paper napkin covering it 🤮🤢🤮🤢 I felt physically sick . Staff apologised but I just don't think they considered how I felt and how disgusted I was .....paid for the starter and drinks and left .... 3 hours after and I still feel sick 😫 🤮🤢🤮🤢

Great amazing food- I have had curries at many places around Walsall but this one is unbeatable!

Food delicious 😋 Helpful staff.

Mixed grill got half a leg of chicken and dry chicken with the tiniest sheesh kebab. There was more onions than mixed grill and no salad to go with it. The sauce was so bland i get better mint yoghurt out of a bottle! Had high hopes but highly disappointed. First and last time ordering from here which is a shame.

Just thought I'd go and have a look at this place and see how clean it is inside and out before deciding wither to go for a meal or not.... To my surprise when I inspected the bin area out the back of the kitchen I presume. The bins were covered from top to bottom in living wiggling maggots.. Then going into the restaurant I found hairs upon tables that were "just" laid out... Well put off this place and will make sure the health and hygiene services gear about it so they can get an actual proper food and hygiene rating......

Visited the Royal Oak with a friend on a Wednesday evening. First impressions last! Lovely venue nice food great service from Naz and Riaz . Even better value on a Wednesday with the banquet offer. Nice place great service will definitely visit again highly recommended.

So much choice, such good value. Don't be put off by the exterior - it's really nice inside, spacious and welcoming. Very enjoyable all round.

One of the best Indian restaurants I have been too. Staff were friendly a helpful nothing was too much trouble food was lovely and well prepared. We visited as a group of 7 everyone had different starters and mains and nobody had any complaints definitely will re visit.

Excellent, friendly service. Naz and Riaz looked after us - Top class!!! Food was divine - portions are large and more than filling.

Ordered online, prompt delivery, beautiful meal. Would definitely recommend.

Superb food. One of the best curries I have eaten. Service 5. Highly recommend. Try it you want be disappointed! A+++++

My Favorite Indian restaurant the staff are lovely very welcoming and great atmosphere, overall great service, and food cooked perfectly everytime, 5* to Ray and gang keep up the hard work 👍

Had a takeaway from here today. Prompt delivery great price and the food was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for a lovely meal. Will be using again. 👍

Visited first time tonight and was not disappointed. Food was delicious and tasty and one of the best curries we have had. The staff were welcoming and friendly and we felt very comfortable. We will definitely return.

Delicious food. Always fabulous food and friendly staff. Brilliant place for a lovely curry.

Great food, great friendly staff and service in a cool contemporary setting. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

Went here on a recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Food is nicely cooked, plenty of choice and prices decent. Soft drinks served in pint/half pint, glasses not those silly over priced long drink glasses.Waiters are efficient and friendly, plenty of parking and the place is easy to find.

Only saw the place as we were driving past , thought we would try, so glad we did. The food was lovely , the waiters were really good and friendly, will definitely be back again

Me and my sister went to the desert place that's inside 'bleu ivy' and it was really good, worth a try

Really good jalfrezi would recommend.

Aweful Korai, more like a soup.

What a lovely place staff very pleasant and food was excellent highly recommended

Honestly so disappointed, ordered from here after seeing all of the 5* reviews. Ordered a Chicken Balti, which was ok, it was just really greasy, however my partner had the Prawn Passanda and that was really watery as well as bland, there was hardly any prawns in there and any that was we're really small, smaller than the Tesco value frozen ones we've had, so wasn't impressed with that for the price. The chips were soggy and come with burnt bits in, overall it wasn't a pleasent experience and were not fussy eaters in general, unfortunately we will have to miss from ordering again

Went on a recommendation and what a lovely meal. Definitely will be going again.

Excellent food, excellent service and the place looks great!

Very nice place. Great food. Great friendly service. Lovely atmosphere....

The food is always amazing and the guys who work in there are a credit to the business top service and top food

Been here twice to dine in.....what amazing food..fresh..Great taste.....my new restaurant....the staff are very well mannered and on the same wave... they will bend over backwards....the price ent to bad either..

Lovely meal and always, pleasant staff

Great food and friendly staff, I will definitely be returning 😊

Very tasty food, plenty of dishes to choose from. Staff are friendly and helpful. Restaurant is very clean and has been decorated to a high standard. Beer on draft, they do a good pint of cobra 👍🏻 Well worth a visit, I’m lucky it’s my local 😊 They also cater for minors 👍🏻 and party groups 👍🏻

Ordered a takeaway using new website. Food arrived over an hour early. Chips £1.90 not even the size of a McDonald's small fries. (I counted 27 fries). Ordered keema Naan got sent plain. I called the restaurant to basically be called a liar and told that chip portion hadnt changed in 2 years. I have used this restaurant both eat in and takeaway since it opened. The naan bread was half the size of when you eat in. The manager was rude. The previous takeaway was stone cold again I called the restaurant and received a unconcerned approach. The last sit in meal I waited 20 minutes after everyone elses food for mine to arrive again cold. I shall never order food from this restaurant again.

Really lovley food first time ordering only thing is that could of done with the nan bread bigger and chips instead of fries other then that the food was delicious will be ordering again thankyou

Brilliant Indian restaurant. Great food and service

We had Christmas lunch there yesterday everything was prefect couldn't of ask for anything more all the staff were lovely as they always are well done guys and the chef food was great 👍 😀

WOULD NOT EVEN GIVE THIS PLACE 1STAR. I ordered from this place on Deliveroo the food was soo bad that it went in the bin. Pizza was appalling as all the rest of the order. Never again will I be ordering from these guys. Waste of money.

Had a lovely balti curry here with friends from work lovely staff made you feel welcome will be going back

Food was amazing, the service was amazing This was a birthday treat for my mum and she loved it.

A very beautiful restaurant food was divine, staff was very attentive, highly reccomend this place

Dined last night for the first time , lovely food , staff are kind and accommodating, food was well presented i will definitely eat there again
