John Williams - dined at Royal Tandoor on 28 September 2019
Amazing. My partner and I ordered the royal banquet which came with the Royal Mix Platter (mixture of entrees) and a selection of three currries with rice (we got the butter chicken, chicken madras and lamb pasanda) and naan. The Royal Mix Platter was demolished along with the selection of chutneys and thoroughly enjoyed all three curries. Good portion sizing left us full but not overwhelmed and service was great. Only (very very minor) complaint is that the songs playing as background music would stop and it would take a while for the next song to start leaving the restaurant awkwardly quiet. Overall great experience with delicious food. Would definitely go back.

The butter chicken was tasteless, the Tikka Masala it was the same, this dishes didn't have the extra taste that will make you eat and enjoy the meal.

Ian Swain - dined at Royal Tandoor on 2 June 2019
Deeeeelicious! I thought it would be a quiet wee suburban restaurant but it was humming by the time we left - nothing better than to have a bit of atmosphere! The usual fare you'd expect from a contemporary Indian restaurant, really well priced, and great service. The Royal Platter was to die for - even came with my favourite platter item, a flavoursome samosa each. Thanks team.
Rachel Harris - dined at Royal Tandoor on 25 May 2019
The best Indian in Christchurch !! My partner and I get the banquet which gives you all of their starters to try 3 curries of your choice ,rice and 2 naan bread unbelievable value
Anvil Austing - dined at Royal Tandoor on 11 May 2019
Yummy food, just the right amount of food and spice. Daughter had the mango chicken, son the chicken afghani, partner had the lamb saagwala and I had the prawn saagwala with couple of naan breads. Good whānau times, nice to get out of the house and no cleaning up. Been there before and no doubt will be back again
Landon Hepi - dined at Royal Tandoor on 11 May 2019
We returned to Royal Tandoori, after being impressed with the quality of the meals on our first visit, and were not disappointed. Delicious authentic curries served with a smile.
Thank you, we will be back
Elaine Wilson - dined at Royal Tandoor on 24 April 2019
We enjoyed everything we ordered. Service a bit "missing in action" at times. We came on a holiday so I guess they are shortstaffed. But generally an all around positive experience. Cheese and Garlic Naan is the best.

Enjoyable and very tasty meal, fast service with a smile.

We had a great night out - there were 4 of us and we had to ask for a bag to take what we couldn’t eat home!! Pleasant service, great food bought out hot and great flavour. We will be back, thanks for a great evening.

We really enjoyed the selection of food and wine offered. We ordered the Royal platter which was delicious.
Julie Pigneri - dined at Royal Tandoor on 19 January 2019
Great food, I’d certainly go back. The garlic nan was light and buttery and the veggies in the curry were crisp and cooked to perfection. And you can’t beat a bit of Bollywood music to authenticate the experience!
Marion Tizzard - dined at Royal Tandoor on 18 January 2019

Ai Deoma - dined at Royal Tandoor on 24 December 2018
Love this restaurant food is so good I recommend the platter for 2 its the best value we almost have to be rolled out of the restaurant after eating this. Poppadum, starters which include so much food choice of 3 curries and big bowl of rice and garlic nan. love this place will keep returning!
sally-anne powell - dined at Royal Tandoor on 8 December 2018
Wonderful food, best Kashmiri naan I have ever had! :-) We had the royal mix platter as entree and a lamb pasanda and chicken jalfrezi for our mains, faultless. Will be back
Susan Lovelock - dined at Royal Tandoor on 28 November 2018
Good value for money here, the quality of the food was excellent. Food was a bit slow coming and service a little slow, but that was very minor. Would definitely dine here again.
Amanda Woodfield - dined at Royal Tandoor on 24 November 2018
We were the only diners so the atmosphere was what we made it. The service was friendly but an empty water bottle was not refilled. Four of us chose 3 different curries, a king prawn starter and 4 naan breads. This was adequate but no food was uneaten. I have enjoyed better Indian meals in Christchurch but this was reasonable.
Graham Tate - dined at Royal Tandoor on 16 October 2018
Food nice, service could of been better. Took my voucher when I arrived then when I went to pay tried to charge me full price and then when I told him I had the voucher he wanted to see it and I told him he took it. I nearly had to show him my email on my phone, but he believed me in the end.
Aymee Jones - dined at Royal Tandoor on 14 October 2018
