Reviews
Very enjoyable meal for the four of us. All different choices for starters and mains and no complaints whatsoever, although the chicken dopiaza could have had a bit more kick to it. Good sized portions all round and top service. Shade over £120 for the four including a couple of rounds of drinks and poppadoms to start.
I (a Brit) live in the USA now and the curry over there is just bad. My American husband and I flew back over for a wedding and were craving a curry. On the way to Suffolk from Heathrow we decided to pick a curry house on our route and thankfully landed in The Royal Bengal. It honestly was the best curry I’ve ever eaten. We picked out 3 dishes and 3 naans so we’d have plenty to take home too. The service was excellent! Even the coffee was delicious. I think every time we fly back to the UK, we’ll end up stopping here.
I only really use this place as a takeaway though I have ready at the restaurant a couple of times. After 9 years living in Royston I've tried the various options available and I always end up ordering from the royal Bengal. Love the food. Always top quality, very reliably ready when they say. Fair prices. What's not to like.
The food and service was absolutely faultless and definitely one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever eaten at. If I'm in the area again then I'll definitely be eating here again.
Best curry house for miles. Foods really good and the service from Jay’s team is spot on. Five star rating all round and will deffo be returning.
