This Is my families favourite Indian restaurant! The food is delicious, we have been many times and have never ordered anything we didn't enjoy. Our only regret is that we have moved out of the area. Certainly worth a visit 👍🏻😄👌

Great food, very fresh and tasty.

Love the vegan options. Delivery was pretty quick.

Only small criticism is the medium curry could be hotter.

The customer service here is amazing. True caring people which is rare to find these days. Food was great and flavour was delish. Managed to please the whole family of varying spice thresholds.

Very nice, would have given 4.5 if the beer had of been cold. We ordered momo dumplings & tandoori mushrooms & beef madras (asked them for it “hot” & the spice level was perfect). The madras was more tomato-ey than usual, but very nice all the same. The garlic naan was fluffy, loaded with garlic & delicious. Want to return in a bigger group so we can try a lot more menu options. Good attentive service, without being invasive. It is a struggle to find decent Indian food in Melbourne, but this was a good find. Look forward to trying Vindaloo & Phall!

Friendly service and an excellent selection of Indian foods. Restaurant is clean and fresh. I like my food really spicy and vindaloo is not hot enough for me so the guys at Royal Time recommended Beef Phall and it is awesome. The perfect combination of flavour and heat. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes it hot. My wife is the opposite and loves the Tandoori Platter which contains a well cooked selection on favourites from the Tandoor.

Appreciate the service for local delivery with a seamless online ordering process. Good local option for the outer burbs I would say.

SERVICE: 3.5/5
We have ordered from here a few times when in the area visiting friends. Each time they have been very friendly, engaging in a chit chat and also recommending different dishes based on what we feel like. The gentleman (believe he is the owner) who serves us is precise with the order always double checking he hasn't missed anything - love that because receiving a short order when I'm hungry doesn't gel.
We find delivery is a little quicker than waiting for in-store pick-up strangely. Ordering online through delivery hero / menulog etc is seamless. Usually arrives at the door ahead of ETA.

FOOD: 3.5/5
Piping hot everytime and flavours are tasty enough without being overpowering like some Indian places. There is a decent amount of meat in the biriyanis and various curries that we've tried. We also appreciate the ample vegetarian options on the menu as our friends do not eat meat. I would say though that the food is a little on the greasier side for my liking but I suppose if you want a lighter meal, one doesn't select Indian!

DECOR & AMBIENCE: 3/5
Although we've not dined in, we can see that they have made an effort in decorating the restaurant. It has a family dining feel about it and the marone tied-up curtains on the windows really do make me feel as though I'm in someone's home for dinner. The decor colours are on the darker side but maybe that's to help create some ambience for night-time diners...perhaps?

KID FRIENDLY: N/A, takeaway only

I couldn't love this place more. Service has been fantastic every time we've been. The food is always perfect and full of flavour. The wide range of items on the menu, including goat dishes, keeps us trying new things. Not necessarily cheap but worth the extra few dollars per meal due to the quality. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere and isn't too loud.

Had takeaway from here tonight. Food was really enjoyable (and delivery from menu log was prompt!). The only issue we had was that the rice was so overcooked and mushy it was almost inedible. A real shame considering everything else was tasty! Will give it another go hoping that the rice tonight was just a once off mistake :)

This is one of two Indian restaurants in Lilydale, and there is not much between them in terms of the food and the service. I have both dined in here and had food delivered (wow those delivery aps do work!). The restaurant has quite a nice interior, with various shades of red in the colour scheme, lots of downlights, and some elaborate curtains covering the glass façade. The food here is good, and of course incudes lots of vegetarian dishes. It’s one of those situations where one prefers certain dishes in one place, and some in another. I like the starters here better than their competitor, and the mains a touch less. But in each case the food is very nice. The service was welcoming, attentive and polite. And when they deliver, they arrive wearing a smart maroon blazer, and are equally as courteous. You can’t go wrong eating Indian food here - it’s worth a visit.

Great meal at royal time. This was our first time to this indian restaurant and we loved it from the moment we stepped inside .Very colourful interior and bright .Very friendly staff and so many choices in the menu. We had lamb dishes and butter chicken with garlic naan and peas rice the best ever we had , finish with coconut ice cream. I definitely can say food and service is much better and friendly here than the other Indian just down the road their food is gone down the hill .I love my Indian food definitely we will be back soon.

Great Indian Dining Experience. Was in the area during the weekend with my partner and decided to visit based on Urbanspoon reviews. The atmosphere, service and food were GREAT!

The restaurant itself was clean and well-decorated, which made the experience authentic and pleasant. Unlike other Indian restaurants that play Banghra-style music, this restaurant actually plays soothing Indian music which was so much better.

The staff were friendly and attentive. Part-way through our meal, one of the staff (or possibly the owner) came to check that everything was fine. A subtle but much-appreciated gesture. The food came fast and all at the same time, another subtlety that enhanced our experience.

The complimentary papadums were good and came with a couple of dips, which were quite nice as well. We ordered the garlic naan, beef madras and lamb biryani. The garlic naan was nice and crispy but could have been a bit more garlicy. The beef madras and lamb biryani, though, were FANTASTIC! Can't quite describe it in detail but they tasted amazing and are well worth the price (The entire order cost us ~$30).

Would definitely recommend eating here if you get the chance.

Best food this side of Mumbai. After hearing the hype build around Royal Time's new ownership and menu, I finally had the chance to make it for dinner last week. I've found really good Indian food rather hard to come by in the past, but have now found my go to spot. The menu is extensive and very reasonably priced, as are the great selection of international beers. The service and atmosphere could not have been better and of course the food was exceptional. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

This place had recently come under new management and they have done wonders with the place. I find it hard to find good Indian food around the area, but this place has it covered. The food is fresh and the menu has a wide range of dishes. As a vegetarian I found that there was heaps of choice and I haven't been disappointed yet. Have been here a few times already and definitely recommend it to others. Good prices and nice atmosphere.
