Royal Inn

The Tandoori Mushrooms were the standout, absolutely out of this world. Basket Chaat and the Veg Tandoor Platter were great too. Portions are huge, though prices are pretty high. I’d definitely come again!

There’s a wide range of food and comfortable seating at Royal Cafe in Lucknow. I’d go for the basket chaat: it costs a bit more, but the taste and quality make it worthwhile. A nice place for a filling, enjoyable meal.

I’ve been going to Royal Cafe for years, so this visit was a letdown. The food arrived cold, and the taste didn’t meet the standard I remember the cafe being known for. Chandra Pal, one of the staff, was rude and unprofessional, which made things worse. I didn’t expect that kind of treatment from a place with Royal Cafe’s reputation. I hope management addresses both staff conduct and food quality. Loyal customers expect the standards that made this place famous.

This old, well-known cafe is one of Lucknow’s best food joints, with lots of tasty snacks to choose from. Go with family or friends if you’re nearby. There isn’t much parking, but valet is available. The network often has problems, though they do provide wifi.
