What to Eat at Royal Tasty Restaurant How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Royal Tasty Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Royal Tasty Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Chicken curry Net −1
“I had a very disappointing experience with the chicken curry I ordered from Royal Food. Shortly after eating it I began to feel extremely unwell, which suggests serious concerns about the food’s quality or hygiene standards. The taste itself was far from enjoyable overly greasy, poorly seasoned and the chicken did not seem fresh Given the unpleasant aftereffects and the lack of care that appears to have gone into the preparation I cannot recommend this dish or the restaurant I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves both their food quality and safety practices”

Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid Rush. Evening visits may be busier, so consider going outside the reported evening rush.
Check Orders. Count every item when delivery arrives, especially breads and drinks, because incomplete orders are reported.
Specify Spice. State clearly that you want normal, non-spicy food, then check the dish because spice requests have reportedly been missed.
Try WhatsApp. One customer found WhatsApp ordering convenient and on time, so it may be worth comparing with phone ordering.

Common Concerns
Long Delays
Delivery commonly takes an hour or more, with some orders taking 90 minutes.
Food Temperature
Several delivery orders arrived cold; one grilled chicken order was described as undercooked and nearly half-boiled.
Spice Levels
Customers who request milder food report receiving dishes that are still excessively spicy.
Missing Items
Order accuracy is a recurring problem, including an order for four porota that arrived with only two.
Ignored Diners
Dine-in service can be inattentive, with one group leaving after nobody came to take its order.

The Bottom Line
Royal Tasty Restaurant is a family restaurant in Al Quoz where you can dine in or order Indian and Arabic food. The clearest dish leads from the reviews are biriyani, chicken chukka, and traditional ghee rice with beef. The motta set is another practical choice, praised for its affordable price, generous serving and side dishes.
The food is not uniformly consistent. Some diners describe excellent taste, fresh breakfast and friendly service, while others report burnt burgers, cold or undercooked grilled chicken, spoiled accompaniments and overly spicy dishes. Chicken chukka has a distinctive garnish of fried onions, cashews and dried grapes, but one reviewer felt the biriyani had lost some of its earlier aroma and taste.
Service is the main reason for caution. Delivery often takes an hour or more, and complaints include missing porota, absent drinks, incorrect dishes and weak follow-up. Dine-in guests have also reported waiting to order or for the bill.
Evening periods may be rushed. If ordering, count the items on arrival and repeat any spice request clearly; one customer had a better experience using WhatsApp, with delivery arriving on time. The restaurant can reward patience with good-value local favourites, but it is safer to visit when you are not in a hurry and to check takeaway orders carefully.
