Location and Accessibility

Pros:

  • "Close proximity to Gants Hill station just makes it better."
  • "If you ever wake up with a craving for masala dosa, as I did today, this place can definitely sort you out... located right next to the tube station so easy enough to get to."
  • "Located right next to Gants hill station, this is one of the best places to have South Indian cuisine (Tamil Nadu style)."

Cons:

  • "Location may be a bit awkward if you are driving as it’s located right bang in the Gants Hill junction."
  • "Yes parking can be difficult but it's worth it!"

Ambiance and Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "The decor is somewhat rather outdated looking and the chairs and booth are not optimised for comfort."
  • "Ambience is cool and wonderful."
  • "The food is just PHENOMENAL, and being Bengali, I am used to experiencing good Indian food. But this food here - WOW! Chefs kiss every time. There are so many dishes available on the menu, which usually implies it’s the bog standard ready made dishes which are churned out - my friends this is FAR from the truth."

Cons:

  • "As I walked to our table my shoe was met with a sticky spot on the floor, which made me a bit uncomfortable. Hopefully, that was a one-off."
  • "We really enjoyed the food, especially the pizza dosa. Staff are friendly. Food served quite fast. I think it was a bit hot in there and I felt it was very stuffy, other than that it was great."

Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

  • "Their food is tasty and hygienic."
  • "Food was delicious and full of flavour, you could tell it was made with authentic and fresh ingredients."
  • "The Dosa was golden and crisp, as it should be, with some spicy fresh chutneys."
  • "The food is delicious and arrives promptly."
  • "The food was delicious and the staff were superb, I also really liked the atmosphere of the place."
  • "The food here has such an authentic Indian taste, especially the sambar and coconut chutney."
  • "One of my favourite restaurants in London when I’m longing for tasty and punchy flavours."
  • "The food is very tasty, I personally love the ghee roast dosa, seafood khottu, gongura mutton/chicken, karaikuddi chicken, and Sri Lankan mutton."

Cons:

  • "Some dishes are a bit expensive for the portion size."
  • "I felt the price of the food items were reasonable and the food we received was delicious. Some of the dishes were slightly spicy, including the butter chicken, which was a bit surprising since butter chicken is usually a very mild dish."
  • "We got butter naan (soft, but with more salt), black pepper chicken (not as tasty as before), and dahi puri (bad; something in the mixture was old, so the flavour was different) and Sri Lankan mutton curry πŸ‘Ž."

Service

Pros:

  • "Visited this place twice and have experienced good customer service by the staff."
  • "The staff are friendly and prompt with the service and actually recommended the paratha to go with the chicken sizzler."
  • "I am a regular customer at Royale Spicy Dosa. Their food is tasty and hygienic... Raadika is an excellent host and remembers my tastes and advises accordingly."
  • "Raudika’s hospitality was excellent and service was prompt."
  • "Raudika is service efficient and always has a warm smile with a sincere customer service attribute."

Cons:

  • "We waited a considerable time for the masala dosa to arrive."
  • "The staff could improve their courtesy and friendliness by smiling more."
  • "Good service can be improved the guys level of English wasn’t the best, but friendly πŸ™‚"
  • "Food was nice. Service was excellent. Food came out within a few minutes. Staff were friendly and fast. My only criticism is that the menu is too big. Not only does it cause confusion but (from experience) often very large menus will affect the quality of the food."
