The Royal Indian is swiftly becoming a cherished dining destination in Leicester, nestled on Melton Road. As a food reviewer for Goto Where, I've had the delightful opportunity to explore the wonderful culinary tapestry that this restaurant weaves. Guests consistently rave about the vibrant and elegant menu, which features an impressive array of dishes that cater to every palate, including vegetarian and vegan options.
Many patrons, like Nitesh Bhundia, laud the starters that rival the best in the city, particularly highlighting the indulgent salt and pepper fish and the lollipop chicken with its unique Indo-Chinese sauce. The experience doesn't stop there; Claret Remedios shared a feast that included a variety of tandoori specialties leading up to the rich butter chicken and lamb curry, all leaving diners completely satisfied.
Beyond the exceptional food, the staff's attentiveness and friendliness add to the welcoming atmosphere. Customers like Gurdeep Singh have celebrated special occasions here, where the service makes every meal memorable. With a reputation built on delectable lamb chops and fresh mint sauce served with starters, The Royal Indian promises a fulfilling culinary journey. Whether visiting for a casual meal or a special outing, this restaurant is poised to impress in every way.

This venue has become the fail safe go to for our monthly curry club. The starters are on par with the best places in Leicester. The recent addition of street food inspired menu with beautifully blended indo Chinese flavours is worth a visit. Recommend the salt and pepper fish, lollipop chicken with the info Chinese sauce and masala chips.

The restaurant is re opened with vibrant and much more elegant menu on melton road. Lip smacking dishes. We tried the tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, lamb Kebab, chicken lollipops etc and at the end ordered butter chicken and lamb curry... all the dishes were lip smacking..in the end we were so so full...what a wonderful experience. The menu caters for all your requirement including vegetarian and vegan options. We even saw healthy boxes on the menu which had dishes like chicken Kebab, lamb Kebab, rice and salad ...all under a tenner. Will defo visit next time

Always a pleasure to come here to dine. Staff are great...food is great. The experience has always been so good to me friends and family. I once celebrated my birthday here and they went out of their way to ensure I had a great time. Prices are reasonable and portions are good too. Their lamb chops are to die for! If you havent tried it yet go for it. They wont dissappoint you! What more can I say? The seating and tables are nicely spaced for comfort. Piyush is a gem. He served us very well and ensured we were looked after. Staff are definately very helpful and recommend their best dishes. What more can you ask for!!! Mint sauce in this place is made fresh aswell it tastes amazing to go with any starters!

Amazing food!!! First visit, was very impressed. Chicken Kalaji (Liver) was perfect. We had prawn sizzler, mixed grill, naan, Chilli chips & chicken kheema curry. All medium heat, food was on point. I was taken by surprise how tasty the food was. Every dish has it's own unique flavors & taste. It's not like most restaurants that use the same sauce on every starter dish. Definitely will visit again and try some more of the of the different mains & starter's. Very impressed Well done, The Royal indian!!!!
