Royal Tandoori - Scarborough

Half Price Wednesday and Sunday. Very busy. Food and service excellent. I tried handi bhona chicken, dishe that made for staff normally.

We had a lovely dinner here, the food quality was amazing and had a great taste. We ordered 2 starters and 2 main courses with breads along with drinks, and I would say we enjoyed every bit of it. I will fully recommend this restaurant for great Indian food.

We visited here recently whilst in Scarborough for a birthday weekend. Whilst the food was what can only be described as average and small in portion, I must describe how I think we were massively overcharged. When I paid the bill at the end of the meal I thought it was expensive but assumed they'd get it correct as we didn't order much £62 for 2 curries, 1 English meal, rice, naan and 4 drinks). Having sat down this morning and calculated the price it should have come to £52 so we were charged an additional £10. We did also have poppadoms but I can't imagine they would charge £10 for those. Would I recommend, probably not.

We ordered a meal for three via UberEats for a scheduled delivery before opening hours. Unfortunately Royal Tandoori does not use UberEats delivery staff, and as a consequence, the delivery status of the order isn't as accurate as it could be. After the order was in excess of 30 minutes late, we called to enquire where our order was only to be assured that the order was on its way. After another 10 to 20 minutes, it did finally arrive, which given that I could have walked to Queen Street in that time did not overly impress me. However, the meal itself was gorgeous, but not as hot as it could have been! Royal Tandoori have a great menu, and the meals are well cooked and full of flavour! I would definitely order from them again, but next time, I think we'll go in person!

I 'll start with the food. The starter 'Mirch Chicken Tikka ' was one of the best I 've had in a very long time, just perfect. So good I went to their website just to make sure I got the name right. I had many dishes before with essentially the same ingredients, but somehow they made it something special. The main course was also very good, had a nice cucumber raita with it. The staff were very friendly and asked if I wanted to wait between the starter and main course, which was unexpected, after my brief surprise I said yes and he just said let me know when you 're ready for the main . I can 't remember the last time that happened at an Indian restaurant (probably at one of the greats in Glasgow or Manchester . A very unexpected treat oh and by the way, much better than Scarborough Tandoori, which I ate at the previous night and also left a review :
