Housed inside Siam Paragon is an Indian Restaurant called Royal India in the Food Court in the Asian Cuisine Section on Ground Floor Food Court We ate here while shopping in Siam Paragon and the food was delicious, quantity was sufficient and the service was...prompt. To give you an idea of the price a Tandoori Roti costs 60B and a Mixed Vegetable curry costs 299B and then a VAT of 7% and some other tax of 10% is added to the final bill.More

This restaurant is halal, clean and crowded . We ordered chicken biryani and prawn biryani and it was good and gin bread with only a touch of cheese and broth and it was not tasty.

I went today and did a take away. Upon my arrival at my condominium out of excitement I wanted to eat the Indian sweets. To my surprise I saw the generosity of the Royal India. They had provided me with Complimentary Cockroache. Never will I...ever eat there again.More

GET delivery. Although GET performed exactly as it should( better in fact) there was an issue with our order. One of my wife's favourite dishes from any and ALL Indian restaurants is Pulao rice, and this dish was available to order through GET. However, once...I placed the order I received a phone call telling me it was not available, a little annoyed I asked them to replace the pulao with vegetable biryani, to which the reply was this was also not available, surprised I asked if this was indeed an Indian restaurant. The guy said that I should cancel the order. I cancelled the rice and told him to prepare the rest of the meal. The meal arrived promptly by GET, by far the best experience of this order. Amazingly after the debacle with the rice order, it turned up, and my wife said it was OK. Mutton Rogan Josh was, by far, too oily making it a very bad taste. Chicken Tikka Masala was rated good by my daughter although this also was too oily. One of my favourite Indian dishes is Dal and I have to say I enjoyed this. Naan bread was greasy but acceptable, although not the garlic naan I ordered. All in all a 2 star experience at best and I am afraid I will not be using this restaurant in the future.More

Having wandered around the Little India Market we fancied a curry for lunch. Not having seen anything suitable I ask a Sikh stall holder if he could recommend somewhere. He pointed down the street and said that the Royal India was very good. We walked...down the street and turned into an alley where the restaurant is situated. The English menu was easy to follow and we shared a Chicken Tikka Marsala, rice and a Roti, plenty for two, washed down with a Chang beer. The curry was excellent and not expensive. If you fancy a good curry, give this place a try and don't be put off by the surroundings.More

Excellent place for a real Indian cooking at hidden alley in Indian market - Bangkok. Opposite Indian EMPORIYM store , walked inside a small alley once you see a signage. There are only a few seats at the restaurant. There is another branch at Siam...paragon but i always prefer this one at the Indian market.More

I wouldn't say the Royal India restaurant is bad, more that I was disappointed. I used to enjoy it back when I lived in Bangkok but a recent visit was a disappointment. I don't know if it has changed or perhaps I have changed. You...don't go to the Royal India for the ambience or the service. It's a pokey little restaurant in a back alley of Little India that is more Delhi than Bangkok. I ordered samosa, mutter pulao, butter chicken and a naan. The total cost was 430 baht...which is hardly a bargain given the portion sizes weren't great and the wuality was only average, at best. The curry was very mild, watery and there was very little chicken in it. The rice lacked flavour and the samosa was the most tasteless samosa I have ever had. Overall the food was a great let-down. I don't like to compare Indian food in Bangkok with Indian food in New Zealand but my local Indian in NZ has much better Indian cuisine in beautiful surroundings with a sea view and great service - and amazingly, it costs a little less! When you put it like that, I think it's time for me to seek out other Indian eateries in Bangkok.More

We went there only because it was halal but honestly i didnt expect it to be as bad as it was. I ordered the Afghani chicken or something like that and it was bad. it was just grilled chicken with the spices gravy poured on...top after. It was not at all marinated and thats what it needed to be. It was dry. It was like eating a chewing gum where the flavor goes away within the first 5-10 seconds. Butter Chicken ordered by my wife was nonsense (its very hard to get this one wrong) And the So called "Chicken Biryani" was not even close to being in the same region as being labelled Biryani. I tasted one spoon and left it. For people who have no idea what indian food should be like I think they wouldnt be able to tell how bad this place is. For me as an Asian its a place i would never set foot in again. Very very disappointingMore

The Royal India is a small room down a back alley and behind a sweet stall in the little India area of Bangkok. This may sound like a promising place to get authentic Indian food, but I was a little disappointed. We had the butter...chicken and a couple of vegetable dishes, plus breads and rice. The service was a bit slow and disinterested. The food was ok- nothing spectacular, but tasty enough. However, the prices are something else- 1000 BAHT for a pretty standard curry for two in a back alley restaurant. This probably explains why the clientele was entirely made up of tourists. If you're desperate for a curry this will do the job, but otherwise I would stick to Thai food, which is much better value.More

While visiting Bangkok I decided to go to Little India and eat in a local restaurant. I had read that this was the first Indian restaurant to open in Bangkok so I expected that the food would be brilliant. In my own opinion, the food...was good and tasty, not too chilly, but that was not real Indian food. Maybe what makes Indian food special is the fact of eating and cooking it in that country by using local ingredients (for instance, chicken) and a lot of flavours get lost on their way from India to Bangkok... Furthermore, the food was a little more expensive compared to local Thai restaurants. I would only reccomend this place if you opt to visit Little India and are eager to try different food.More

We went to this place because it was listed in the travel guide and recommended here. The food was middling, but the portions were tiny, the service was slow and missed part of our order, and it was fairly expensive. We spent over 900 baht...for 3 entrees and 6 soft drinks (same price as the water). In a city of amazing street food at bargain prices, the only way this place can still exist is because of the travel listings. Don’t fall for them. Go elsewhere.More

I was recommended by someone to go to this restaurant in an alley off the street across from Gurudwara. Its a small restaurant, with in house sweets preparation in the alley. I ordered Veg Thali, which took a while to come. Portions were very small,...like samples, and food was average. Nothing special to visit again on the same trip. Only two other table were occupied, still the service was slow and throughout no one asked how the food was. A bit unfriendly local staff.More
