Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. The Hyderabadi Dum Biryani is the best I've ever had β and I say that having eaten biryani across Lucknow, Hyderabad, and Kolkata. The saffron aroma when they opened the sealed pot was unforgettable. Service was warm and attentive without being intrusive. Will return.
π Biryani LoverI've dined at Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris and Tokyo. Royal Spice holds its own with any of them β not because it tries to be Western, but because it celebrates South Indian food with such pride and precision. The Chettinad curry transported me straight to my grandmother's kitchen in Karaikudi. Exceptional.
πΆοΈ Regular GuestHosted our company's annual dinner for 80 people here and was blown away by the coordination. Every dish came out at the right temperature, every guest was attended to, and the private dining setup was elegant. Chef Rajan even came out to say hello. This is how corporate hospitality should be done.
πΌ Corporate EventBrought my parents from Ahmedabad for their anniversary and Royal Spice made it magical. They surprised us with a complimentary dessert and a personalised card from the team. The Kerala Prawn Moilee was so delicate and fragrant β my mother asked the chef for the recipe! We're already planning our next visit.
π Anniversary DinnerAs a food critic for a leading publication, I've visited hundreds of restaurants. Royal Spice earns its reputation honestly β there are no shortcuts, no frozen ingredients, no artificial flavour shortcuts. The Tirunelveli Halwa is made exactly as it should be. Chennai has a genuine gem here. Five stars without hesitation.
π° Food CriticThe Sunday brunch is an experience unlike any other in Chennai. The live dosa station, the unlimited sambar, the dessert counter with payasam β it felt like a South Indian wedding feast but in a beautifully designed space. My 8-year-old declared this her "favourite restaurant in the universe." High praise indeed!
π¨βπ©βπ§ Family DiningGreat food, consistently. I've been coming here quarterly for three years and quality never dips. The Mutton Rogan Josh is extraordinary. Taking off one star only because weekend waiting times are quite long even with a reservation β worth planning for. Otherwise, a near-perfect restaurant experience.
π Returning GuestI'm vegan and Royal Spice went far beyond just removing dairy β they created a special off-menu meal for me with their vegan tasting menu. The chef personally came to check on my experience. The jackfruit curry was the highlight of my year. This kind of hospitality is rare. Forever a loyal guest.
