Royal Tandoori — Restaurant in Dartford

Arrived as a solo eater, it was a quiet night, I was welcomed warming.

Started with pompadom’s, a chutney tray and the obligatory bottle of beer, no draft this evening.

The Pompadoms were fresh and the beer was cold, there was also a great selection on the chutney tray.

For a starter I ordered chicken tikka. It arrived on a sizzler, with fresh onions. The chicken melted in your mouth, perfectly cooked with the fried onions and fresh side salad making great accompaniments.

For my main I let the maitre d’ chose the main dish based on my likes, with myself ordering special rice, chana masala (chick peas) and a Keema Nan. The main dish ended up being king prawns in a rich medium hot sauce (madras) with onions and pepper cooked on a sizzler.

The prawns had been shelled except for the tails, they were delicious and flavourful, the sauce was spicy, but not to hot and the vegetables made it like a king prawn Jalfrezi sizzler.

I didn’t finish it all, eyes bigger than stomach came to mind, but absolutely delicious.

Service was great, welcoming, comfortable and friendly. I must shout out a special thanks to Abdul and Abid who cooked the meal

All in all a great meal and evening which didn’t break the bank. I...

I went there last night with my family and will never be going back there again! Had to wait for over an hour for the food and there wasn’t even a lot of people there. Was too busy concentrating on deliveries. Also I feel they don’t like black people very much either. Felt hostile and was with my mrs and her sister who are both white. To top it off when they food finally came mine still didn’t. My mrs and her sister both nearly finished theirs, so I told them to cancel my order. The only reason why I’ve given two stars is because the food was decent, not the best but not the worst and they ended up giving me mine for free. On top of that the kids meals were a rip off too, some hard dead nuggets and chips £8 each. I think they made that up as wasn’t even on a menu, we had to ask them. Also I asked for a jd and red bull and the guy said he doesn’t understand what I mean and they don’t have red bull after my sister in law just just ordered a red bull. Very disappointing experience, racism definitely isn’t dead! As for the decor and layout very old fashioned and you would never catch me dead in there again unless they kill me...

Absolutely gutted, me and my partner are regulars to the royal tandoori Before lock down begun, and we love the staff and vibe of the restaurant . We have ordered takeaways since lock down and had no issues. When we received the food tonight one of the dishes tasted off, I called the restaurant to let them know something is wrong with the dish.

This is a dish I have all the time, and I couldn’t even stomach today as it tasted as the lamb was off and had a revolting taste and smell! When I told them what was wrong all I got told that the head chief, said it was fine and I will have to deal with it. They also said they would sort something out on my next order, but it would of been nice for them to offer me a new meal to either be collected by myself or delivered to my home.

I spent nearly £40.00 on food and it had to be thrown into the bin.

Next time Royal Tandoori, maybe treat your regular customers better instead of thinking about the price to replace the meal!! Sometimes it works out better for you to have...
