“ It was so lovely to visit this restaurant. Really cozy and all the management and staff are friendly and helpful. The food was out standing. Both vegetarian and meat dishes were flavourful and I was really glad we could choose the level of spice for each dish. One thing to note is that the bathroom is not in the restaurant itself but is not very far from the restaurant itself and was not a big problem. I look forward to dine with Royal Restaurant again. To enjoy the food and soft atmosphere. ”
