This restaurant has been around for some 30 years so it's obviously doing something right. My father-in-law is a bit of a connoisseur of Indian food and he rated the Royal India food as the best he has had in Perth.

A truly enjoyable and consistent place is unfortunately lost its sheen after several years of staying on the top. As West Perth residents and regulars there either dine in or takeaway, we stopped going after a changefor worse that was evident for over a year. Hope they get their old taste and quality back. Looking forward.

Great Tasting Authentic Indian Food. We decided to take-away but ordered a chicken combo pack and a large Biryani Rice. Generous portions for take-away and the papadums were very crispy. It is however a shame that it costs extra to dine-in. 

Check it out if you are around the area.

Ordered goat and eggplant curry with white rice for $48.00 the goat was tender and the eggplant could've been a little bit more spicier but overall worth a visit. Will be back to try more

Organised a farewell lunch. Everyone fancied a curry. Good food at Royal India. Had a vegetarian Thali for lunch. Large portion and can be shared by 2 people. May need to add in an additional naan or rice if sharing a thali. Great tasting food. Perhaps the only decent Indian restaurant in West Perth. Probably my 4th visit on a lunch time here . No complaints.

A pleasant place to visit for a social dinner, however I personally found that whilst the food was nice it was on the pricey side ($31 for chicken tikka masala I thought was a bit steep). Wait staff friendly and attentive, however it did get to the point where my friend ans I wished one waiter focused on our table because we had multiple waiters asking us the same questions which dis start to get a tad annoying.

This  restaurant evidently has a good reputation in the Western Suburbs of Perth. I think I read somewhere it was the best in Perth. Our verdict on this is out. Although the food is good it is not the best Indian we have eaten. The service is very efficient, but lacks warmth. My aloo gobi was rather rich for my taste, however it was by no means a bad dish & the spices were spot on. The spinach & potato (saag aloo) was also average. Rice was fluffy & separate & the bread had a nice crunch to it. Liked the fact we were offered complimentary papadams & dips to start

Came here last month, not big on curry but love my byriani so I got the lamb byriani and oh my godddd... Everything I knew about byriani is out the window - THIS is now the standard I will measure all future byriani dishes. The perfect blend between flavour, tenderness and aroma. I couldn't fault it and now I'll have to try the curry on my next visit!

This is still our favourite Indian restaurant :)  Staff were very friendly and attentive as they always seem to be.  I had the 'usual' mixed entrée = yum, and tried their Beef Nawabi for the first time = brilliant!  All this after being served one of the best dry vodka-gin Martini's in Perth.  We'll be back again and again.

Definitely worth the trip! This has been a favorite for years, and it just gets better and better. Great service and great food- the cheese naan and roganjosh are particular favourites. Also, I highly recommend getting the masala chai to end your meal with. We will be back!

Reliable. Friendly. Delicious. What more could you want. Royal India has been around since the 80s and since that time it has delivered consistently delicious and authentic indian curries. I love the decor and feel of the place and always look forward to going there.

We had a lovely meal. We over ordered with 4 dishes, garlic naan and rice. Which was fine as we were able to take it away. The meat dishes chicken masala, beef nawabi, lamb korma were all tasty and perfectly spiced (we asked for it not to be more than med hot). All dishes were superb with fresh garlic naan the only mediocre dish was the palak paneer(shame coz it's my favourite dish). Good service. Overall great food but still quite pricey as it came to $135 (4 dishes, rice, 2 naan and a glass of wine). I'd recommend it if you want a nice Indian meal in a nice setting and not too fussed with the price then it's a safe choice.

Had a lovely dinner with my father here a while back. The service was fast and friendly but not overbearing, and our two curries and sides were absolutely delicious! I would have loved to have tried more of their offerings, but with just two of us we couldn't try such a range as you can when you have a large group. I can't remember the exact prices but we did feel it was on the higher side, but that we had had value for our money. 

My overall impression was that we felt very welcomed, and well looked after. Will definitely be back.

I love this place. First dined here 20+ years ago when my now-husband took me there on a date to impress. We still love it and take our 3 kids there whenever we can.
Went there last weekend on the spur of the moment. The staff are lovely, particularly Kal who has a thing for faces and remembers us each time (big customer service points!).
Food is divine with great choice of gluten-free - we ordered beef vindaloo, beef korma, potato aloo and vege jalfrezi + peshwari and plain naan + raita. Everything superb. Nothing to complain about. (I personally prefer the peshwari naan at Madras House as it's sweeter and has cherries but that's just my preference and there's nothing wrong with Royal India's version).
Not many restaurants in Perth enjoy a life of >20yrs so obviously Royal India knows its stuff. Always very excited to return.

The Perth Tax?. Visited with a couple of work colleagues for dinner, plenty of parking and tables to choose from since the place was empty other than one other table of two.

The service was professional and attentive and the meals were all excellent despite the small portions but at $30 per main you'd expect that as a minimum , the same meal in my local Indian in Melbourne which is almost as good would have cost $12 bucks and would have been twice the size.

Good but at these prices it would be an occasional treat rather than a regular visit or you could just move to Melbourne.

Good Indian cuisine.. As a large consumer of Indian cuisine, Royal India definitely ranks in the top 3 Indian restaurants in Perth. A fantastic selection of curries and the goat curry in particular, is one of my favourites. I also enjoy a good Naan and whilst I haven't tried their whole range, their keema naan is pretty good. Just a little spicier and it would be awesome. Good quality food, reasonably priced. There's room to increase the portion size but still a great meal.

Wow!. I don't trust many of these bad reviews. The Royal India is a professionally run restaurant. Great food, hard working knowledgeable friendly staff. The guy who owns it has been in the industry for 25 years and knows what he is doing. The food is fresh and tasty. I have been a regular customer for years and never had a bad experience apart from drunks who make life hard for the staff and have had to be asked to leave...probably the same people who write bad reviews.

Just the best.. For me in top 5 in Perth for service without a doubt. If you were a dreaming of runnning a floor, owning the restaurant or being a waiter then Royal India is a place you should visit.
Simply book, arrive on time and watch as everyone works so incredibly efficiently whilst maintaining smoothness a non rushed approach.
Enjoy your tasty dinner and your free lesson in service and management if thats your game.

I have loved the Royal India since the age of 16. I lived in London for 10 years and only the most exclusive Indian restaurants in the great city could compare to the Royal India. My thoughts drifted home. Unforgettable pappadums, mulligatawny soup and lamb vindaloo! A must!

Amazing food, great service!. Royal India is one of my favorite restaurants serving authentic-Indian food...which is decently priced...I have a tried most of the dishes here and my personal favorites are Lamb rogan josh, chicken tikka masala... on request, they can make any main dish, a bit hot for you...which really makes it absolutely delicious and not to forget, Gulab Jamuns (heavenly!)...!! The ambiance is quite alright...and what I really like is the Bollywood music playing in the background...service is really good and the staff is very polite.

A horrible dining experience. Food was very average, tasteless and cold. Very expensive too. I would have been happy to pay a little more for quality food, but it was far from quality. The most disappointing part was when a waitress dropped a glass of water on my shoulder and it spilt onto my lap. Their reply was "it's only water.." I won't be back, and I definitely won't be recommending this place.

Wowed By Service. Date night dinner - nice food, great ambiance BUT the service - silver service to a T. Attentive but not too attentive, nothing was too much trouble, a little joke here and there, and friendly smiles abounded. The staff looked genuinely happy, and that made the food all the sweeter. Well done Royal India.

Good take-away. I have only got take-aways from Royal India, but have not for once disappointed. I love their beef dishes - they are soo tender & the sauce is so rich. I also like the basmati rice which goes really well with the curry. I have recommended this place to a few friends & they all enjoy it. I can't wait to try their Tahli one day when I have a long lunch break!

Amazing Soup. The best thing about this place is their Mulligatawny soup. I have never tasted a better chicken soup and I make the trek to Royal India just for that. Everything else is overpriced (although delicious) and you can get the same quality meals at Punjab or Chutney Marys

Ravin! Royal India. My husband and I went to dine at Royal Inda in West Perth after I had read all the glowing reviews on Monday 13/2/12.
We were greeted promptly and warmly by the 1st waiter.
We had 2 wait people on the night who attended to our every needs. Drinks were topped up when our glasses were empty and the female waitress who was absolutley wonderful was able to describe the most suitable wine for our meal. This always helps with a dining out experience when one has excellent wait service-especially in Perth!

The food was really good actually excellent as I find it really hard to find good quality indian food in Perth.
Also I must say the west perth location is great as it was a mixed crowd of local diners, after work people and people dining there from else where.
The thing I liked about the atmosphere is that the interior is tastefully done no tacky decorations and it has a great little front bar, background music playing. Good selection of alcoholic beverages/wine list.
We had mixed entre which was great, goat and lamb and Naam bread.
We had dessert which was mango cheese cake special of the night, very nice. The only let down was the mango liquerer coffee which was unfortunately burnt coffee.
To be honest it's not a cheap eat but we had a lovely mixed of 2 mains, 2 types Naam bread 2 types entre, bottle of red wine, 3 beers, botle of sparkling water , 2 coffees. I highly recommend Royal India and we will be back and taking our friends.

Fantasic. I have been coming to Royal India for a very long time, i think it would be close to 20 years and have always had a great meal. I would say it's one the best Indian restaurants in Perth but it is probably a bit more expensive than youre average Indian. All the dishes are fantastic especially the Vindaloo, and yes if you want it very hot, they will fix you up. You will have steam coming out of youre mouth, nose, ears and arse for hours afterwards. Would definetly recommend this place if youre a curry muncher like me.

The service was pleasant and effiecient. together we shared garlic naans, onion naan, roti and pilau. curries were chicken masala (the best), beef vindaloo, lamb rogan josh, malai kofta, paneer curry and goan fish curry.
The most disappointing was the goan fish curry, just poor quality fish used.

Excellent. I have been here a few times and it has always been excellent.

I can recommend the butter chicken, vege korma, chicken masala and lamb rogan josh.

I usually get take away, and have always received a generous portion with a good meat/sauce ratio (not like other places that drown 2 bits of chicken in sauce).

I have also eaten in a few times and the service has been fab, the lassi's are delicious and the lunch time Thali is a must have.

The best Indian in Perth - in fact, the only one where I haven't walked out thinking I could cook better at home with a jar of Patak's. Good service. But if you told a chef in India how much these guys charge, they'd either pass out or book a flight to Perth as of yesterday

Best Indian in Perth. My wife and I love it so much we've visited literally hundreds of times!

It's not a cheap Indian restaurant but you definitely get what you pay for. Often when we've been away & tried Indian overseas, one of us will comment something like "Yeah ... but it's not Royal India" then we'll have to visit Royal India when we get back to enjoy some good Indian again!

If you haven't tried Indian here, you should because you're missing out on the best Indian food in Perth!

Best Indian restaurant in Perth. Hands down Royal India is my favourite restaurant and I've dined here dozens of times and will continue to do so without a doubt.

Service is fantastic, staff are always friendly and accommodating and you never need to hail a waiter for drink refills and table clearing; these things are done promptly and unobtrusively lending to a relaxing and highly enjoyable dining experience. The general atmosphere is lovely with the interior being much cozier and more pleasant than other well known Indian restaurants in the city. The recent refurb of the front of the restaurant including the new bar has been highly successful and is a really positive addition. Most importantly though the food is fantastic and never disappoints; my personal favourites are the malai koftas (no where else even compares), paneer tikka and their fabulous kashmiri naan (full of sultanas and nuts instead of just crushed banana or cherry like many others).

Cannot recommend highly enough, it is more expensive than your neighbourhood Indian takeaway but more than worth it.

The only place to have a curry (other than my mum's). I know my curries, and so too does Royal India.

Yes, the prices are high, but worth it for a special treat when you are just salivating for a great curry experience.

Sometimes their pappadums on arrival are a little stale, but that soon gets forgotten when you taste the rest of their dishes. My personal favourite is the chicken vindaloo.

Love the hot plates and rice being served by the waiter - good old fashioned service still goes a long way.

This place just wouldnt be the same without waiter Cal on hand.

It's a must try!

I like the decor of this place, it's beautiful. The food is good. The best part is that they are mindful of customer request, they got me saffron rice when had peas in it, which I don't quite like, so they replaced the rice. As per our request they made the food spicy. The staff members are also good and complete professionals.

Favourite Indian in Perth! My husband and I used to live in West Perth so used to go very frequently. We moved about 30 minutes drive away but still try to come every fortnight to month for a delicious meal. Staff are all so welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere is great.
