Royal India in East Renfrewshire

Excellent takeout. Just sorry that Gary has no sit-in customers.

Four friends looking for a good indian meal. All four meals over salted. Couldn't eat it. Waiter was very nasty when we brought it to his attention. Will not be returning to tjis restaurant

Step in and ask for the Vindaloo, extra, extra, extra hot!!! One of the best curries I have ever had and the guys at the front of the house are also great!

The image below is of a regular king prawn pakora. Five prawns, a slice of lemon and a slice of onion. The price? A kick in the nuts off of £7. First time order and definitely the last time.I should also mention that they sent the wrong order for the rest of the food, an hour later, we are still awaiting the food that would be "sent down right away"!

1st time here tonight let me just say couldnt have been made more welcome we had 2 tables of 4 people and the food was great , service great but my goodness the portions were huge I now need a nap to sleep some of it off , will look forward to our next visit

Ordered takeaway - good price, fast service, friendly staff... but most importantly the food was well cooked and absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back! Only wish we’d tried it sooner.

Have eaten at Indian restaurants around the world and is one of the BEST. Wanted Indian while visiting in-laws and choose The Royal because they were in the neighborhood. MIL hadn’t had Indian before and was a bit hesitant, until her first bite that is. We had pompadons and pickle tray to start; the assortment was freshly made and offered a variety of flavor combinations. The tikka had a perfect char , korma was heavenly and the sweet and sour curry was a hard to find treat . Our waiter was a bit of a sourpuss, but we managed to get a smile out of him by the time we left.

Comfy cosy wee place. Buffet is nice. I recommend

I've been dining at the Royal India in Newton Mearns for over 30 years, but my goodness standards have slipped! We arrived at the restaurant yesterday around 1730 and chose to go with the A La Carte menu rather than the buffet. We were the first people to arrive at the restaurant. The two waiting staff seemed a little frustrated upon our arrival (perhaps due to the large number of takeaways being ordered). Shortly after we ordered, and everything seemed fine.45 minutes later our starters arrived. The somasas we ordered were completely solid and covered in some chinese style sweet chilli sauce and chickpeas (perhaps to give the brick style samosas some moisture). We understood they were busy so decided to let this slide and continue on with the meal. One of the front of house staff started taking our starter plates away, and in his frustration due to being unable to carry all the plates, took the napkin off of one of them, threw it on the table and swore at us.Over an hour later, our main courses still hadn't arrived. Another 3 tables had arrived after us and they had all finished their main courses by this point. I asked the waiter and kindly pointed this out to him. No apology was given and he said it's because we ordered "special" dishes and they take a lot longer - even though prawns technically take less time to cook than chicken or beef.Our mains finally arrived about 15 minutes later. One of the dishes was a Goanese King Prawn curry, but unfortunately the prawns were like car tyres and you couldn't even cut through them. The Garlic Naan was also cold, soggy and saturated with melted butter. I stood at the kitchen door for nearly 15 minutes before one of the waiters came out so I could point of the issue with the King Prawns. Another waiter then came to the table and started arguing saying that "the prawns seemed just fine to him" and that "he wasn't going to argue with me". Shorly after another table called him over to complain about their disgusting meal, to which he started arguing with them too. They left immediately due to this.Despite the discraceful meal and service, the full bill was paid with only the one curry deducted from it. No replacement dish was given and I left without even eating a main course.It is really disappointing to see that standards have slipped so much in this restaurant. It used to the the best place to go in this town, however, I will not be going back after this. To anyone thinking about dining here in the near future, I would highly suggest you try elsewhere.

Great Indian food with friendly service. Good value a la carte and, for those feeling extra hungry, the eat all you want buffet is terrific value with freshly cooked starters served before the great choice of mains.
