Royal Indian Hotel Pvt. Ltd.

Ordered the Galouti kebab, Sheekh kebab, mutton biryani, mutton chap, and Shahi Tukda. The Galouti kebabs were huge, soft, and full of meat—definitely the highlight. The Sheekh kebabs were also delicate and flavorful. However, the biryani and mutton chap were quite oily. While the chap was tasty initially, it quickly solidified as it sat, which was disappointing. The Shahi Tukda was average—too sweet and with barely any malai on top. Overall, the experience was mixed. Given the restaurant’s reputation, this might have been a case of bad timing.

The food was pretty amazing, felt like I had been transported to the old royal where the food had a mouth watering aura to it. We sat outside instead of going upstairs... And I feel the cook is better here( if that's even possible) the mutton biryani, mutton chaap and rumali roti were so tasty and flavourful, something that's not sent to us when ordered from Swiggy/Zomato ! It was a pleasure to eat the food there and the staff members were well behaved. We had to wait a couple of minutes before we could get a place but it was just delicious! Keep it up guys!!

Established in 1905. Still serving with pride. There is something in the food taste that will keep you visiting there several times. Though they make Awadhi Biryani which means there is no Aloo innthe Biryani. But the taste and mutton piece is so beautiful that will make you forget about the Aloo. Mutton Chhap is their signature dish. So must try this. We had tried Chicken Jojobas starter which was very good.

I'm quite a frequent visitor here of last 2 decades and I used to like their food. This is the only restaurant in kolkata which doesn't give aloo in their biriyani. The portion size is too small compared to other restaurants. It's their since 1905 but heritage can't stop criticism. I always have rumali roti and mutton chap and last two time, the rotis were cold. Staff non interested. And the shocker came while paying. Only cash no upi no card. Finally after some serious conversation they took the payment via upi. Had it been my first time I would have given it a zero rating but over the years I have really liked their food and services so goodbye royal I'm not coming back again. Take care!

Visited Royal Indian Hotel recently — the food was overall good. The mutton chaap was especially delicious and full of flavor. However, the biryani was a bit disappointing as it had more of a Lucknowi style, which didn’t quite meet my expectations. On the brighter side, the firni was excellent — creamy, perfectly sweet, and a great way to end the meal. The staff were polite and provided good service. Overall, a nice dining experience with a few areas for improvement...

It was a very bitter experience for us from beginning to end. We have to ask them many times for a glass of water and remind them several times for the menu card. We ordered for chicken biryani and they served mutton and pretending that was out fault. The attitude was something different as if they are doing any charity.They must keep this fact in their mind that it is our hard earned money we are spending for eating out. Food quality 'so so' but overpriced in comparison with quantity. After this bitter episode they were literally forcing and arguing with the customer for the amount of tips 😀.Strange indeed! So Debipaksha has started and we are planning for eating out,if you don't want same , please avoid such so called heritage restaurant of our city Kolkata.

The best, I repeat the best biriyani restaurant in the West Bengal. Mutton chap and Biriyani must try. My dad recommended me this restaurant and in terms of biriyani never doubt my father.

I visited this restaurant with two of my friends about two weeks ago, and overall, it was quite a memorable experience. We decided to go for three plates of mutton biryani, one plate of kadhai chicken, and three cold drinks to go with the meal. The biryani, without a doubt, was the highlight of the evening. It was extremely fragrant, the rice was long-grained and perfectly cooked, and the flavors were rich and layered. The pieces of mutton were tender and juicy, cooked just right so that they almost melted in the mouth. Every bite carried that authentic biryani aroma, which made it completely satisfying. The kadhai chicken, on the other hand, was slightly on the oily side, but despite that, the taste did not disappoint. It had the right balance of spices, and the chicken was well-cooked, making it an enjoyable side dish with the biryani. The restaurant has two seating sections one Non-AC and another AC. The AC section is located upstairs, accessible by a narrow, ladder-like staircase. The staff also mentioned that the AC and Non-AC sections have different rates, which was interesting. We opted for the AC section, and though it was more comfortable, it was also crowded. Because of this, we had to wait around 15–20 minutes before getting a table. In the end, the food quality and overall dining experience were worth the wait. If you are planning to visit, I would recommend trying the mutton biryani for sure, as it truly lives up to its reputation.
