Royal Naga Restaurant paltan — Restaurant in Assam

We had a really good experience eating here. We were actually going to a different restaurant, but it was closed, so we thought of trying this one. And I’m so glad we did.

We tried:

Pork cooked in Sesame Seeds (unfortunately, I can’t recall the exact name on the menu) Stir-Fried Mushrooms with Bok Choy Plain Rice Chicken Fried Rice

The pork, cooked with roasted black sesame seeds, coriander, garlic, and Naga king chilies, struck a perfect balance of flavors. Despite the presence of king chili, the spice level was pleasantly tolerable — even for someone like me, who is not too fond of extreme heat. The pork pieces were generous and tender, and the dish paired wonderfully with the plain rice.

But for me, the stir-fried mushroom with bok choy stole the show. The simple combination of button mushrooms and bok choy stir-fried in light soy sauce took me right back to the flavors of Southeast Asia. As someone who enjoys subtle, well-balanced dishes, this was nothing short of a foodgasm.

Even the plain rice stood out — it wasn’t the typical kind we’re used to in West Bengal. It had a delicate aroma and a lovely texture that complemented the other dishes perfectly.

While I didn’t try the Chicken Fried Rice myself, my brother, who did, found it a bit on the blander side but still enjoyable overall.

This place really impressed me. Next time I’m in Guwahati, I’m definitely...

Went in for a quick bite as I was craving for Axone, I ordered a simple dish: pork dipped in Axone gravy with steamed rice. To my horror the pork was hard and rubbery. It was not properly cooked / boiled! I called the waitress and showed her the problem, she took the plate back to the kitchen and had it re-cooked for another few minutes (probably in the microwave). But that didn't help one bit and sadly I had to leave behind a lot of uneaten meat on the table. And another thing I noticed in the bill (attached): they are overcharging for mineral water bottles in this day and age! One star for the smiling waitress who was doing her job perfectly and with full energy even though I was the last customer of the day. Never coming back again, there are a lot of good Naga eateries in the city, just...

I visited the restaurant just because of the reviews..I am myself a star restaurant chef and sadly I was very disappointed with the food. I ordered veg fried rice and pork fry....it was on 12th October just yesterday. I couldn't believe what i was provided with...I can tell because I am a chef...the pork was spoiled..they actually cooked the spoiled pork and gave me to eat I can tell..so disgusting...it literally smelled rotten meat and it was slimy...these guys should have inspection by the food safety authority..please don't visit this restaurant if you are concern about your health..I will soon make them...
