Royal Tandoori

Reviews

• The Best So Far, Highly Recommended!

  Having tried many indian restaurants in my time all over the world, it was a real treat to discover the Royal Tandoori, after finding it on the net i decided to book a table for four to celebrate a birthday, when i telephoned the booking through i was asked if it was for a special occasion which came as a surprise but i said yes a birthday, upon arrival we were shown to our table which was pleasantly decorated with birthday glitter and a balloon. The service was excellent from the word go, the staff were friendly and helpful, the menu offered lots of different dishes as well as the usual, the food proved to be out of this world, even better than my now local curry house in truro which takes some beating! After the meal the waiters brought to the table a birthday cake and we all sang happy birthday, a real nice touch, promptly followed by shots of baileys on the house. All in all an excellent night was had by all, my only downside is that it's such a long way from truro but will definitely look forward to going back when in the area again!

• One of the best

  What I expect from any new restaurant on Rockingham Road in Corby with its smart address and highly competitive location is a something either very different or something really classic. On first sight, it didn’t feel particularly this was either one or the other. The restaurant’s interior is cool and sleek with stylish modern furniture and clever soft lighting. What gave it away as an Indian were the little pink carnations and the super friendly welcome from a very hospitable manager. We ordered the house wine, which was a hardys Cabernet Sauvignon, which is a steal at £8.95, a bottle especially compared to London and Birmingham restaurants that I frequent. We had to ask for the wine bucket but then happily settled into looking at the menu and that is when we realised it wasn’t trying to be anything but a good classic Indian restaurant. All the usual dishes were represented and so we set about trying some of the suggested recommended items like the Garlic Murg (Chicken) or Naga Moris Chicken (chicken marinated in bengali hot pepper, ginger and garlic paste and served on a sizzler. Mouthwateringly hot is what the menu describes it as). These were new to me, but we also ordered some favourites like Tarka Daal and Peshwari Naan. Waiting for the food, waiting for our order and waiting for our wine was surprising and that’s when I noticed that these guys do a killer take away business too. At least when the food arrived it was really fantastic and everything it should have been. Delicious flavours, strong spices and good portions gave us little to find fault with. Later chatting to the owner, we were pleased to find out that there are plans to deal with the success of both operations and size up the provision for both types of service. This for me is good news for the locals because now they have a great take away and a great local restaurant with very reasonable prices. The Royal Tandoori definitely has the makings of a perfect modern classic Indian restaurant.

• The Best Indian restaurant in Northamptonshire!

  I always have low expectations of the traditional 'Tandoori' restaurant so ventured to the Royal Tandoori without great hopes. On entry we received cheerful banter from one of the customers and enjoyed an exchange of good humour with the waiter. I elected for a fish dish and was presently suprised. It was delicately cooked and not drowned in a rich sauce as dishes often are in similar establishments. Decor was very modern and tasteful, staff attentive and pleasant and food very good - with a few unusual items on the menu to tempt the jaded palette. All told, a happy experience. Recommended.
