| - We took some of our friends who wanted to try authentic Indian/Pakistani food to this place last week. Being our first time too, we didn't know what to expect..
The restaurant is set in a quite a grand building, with ample parking and also a terrasse. The interior is very fancy, beautiful colours and also a gorgeous grass & floral wall! There was an anniversary party happening at the same time upstairs - it looks like a popular place for parties and banquets etc.
We ordered the mix grill for starters, onion bhajis and cucumber salad. I was extremely pleased with the grill as it included a great variety, not mainly tandoori chicken like most places do. The flavours were gorgeous and more on the spicier side which I loved! We had naan bread accompanied with mint chutney and a chilli sauce too - both lovely!
I had the lamb jalfrezi for my main course with naan bread which again I found very well done... The lamb was a bit chunkier than I expected, I would have preferred it more tender.
The food, ambiance, interior and service was all perfect however, the disappointment for me being my first time was that parties have the buffet set up on the main restaurant floor and so it can get quite loud and overcrowded. Though they seem to have an upstairs floor for parties, it seems they do not cater up there... Maybe we were unlucky to have an event happening at the same time.
Other than that aspect, I would definitely return to Royal Tandoor for another spicy meal!
