Royal Indian - Teignbridge

I have been in several indian restaurants in England from Southall to India but what I had at this restaurant bore not a hint of resemblance to Indian cooking and food. I never tasted a dhall which was more like bisto gravy and the curries were all of the same gravy colour. Drinks were expensive and you could buy a better curry in tesco, Aldi's etc. Food: 1

So, we had a booking of 5 people and the people were friendly, although service skills weren't really there. The question we all had was, why is our food so sweet? Everything had a sweet, sugary taste, from the naans to the curry. Just a real strange experience because it makes no sense! Felt like a family restaurant with the lady struggling to deliver your food to each person, almost shoving you out of the way so she can place the food down. Unfortunately we won't be returning which is a shame.

After being a regular customer for a few years, their customer service has dramatically fallen. After waiting 2 and a half hours for delivery, they sent eventually in a taxi, after complaining Abdul said he would honour a discount next time. Upon ordering all I was offered was free delivery which resulted in £2.50, kicking off and not having my custom ever again. Abdul said fine and hung up. Very rude and clearly doesn't care about his customers!

There is nothing royal about this restaurant. Abdul is extremely rude. Food is substandard and very highly priced. Drinks are ridiculous. Save your money people and order from teign Indian. Far far better food and service. Abdul trust me you won't be in business much longer if you don't change your customer service. Local people and local reviews matter..... Service: Dine in

Can't say about the atmosphere as we had a take away, though it did seem flat when I picked it up. The Tika Masala had a really strange texture, tasted odd and was luke warm, the peshwari naan was wet, soggy and uncooked. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
