About Royal Grill House
Royal Grill House is a takeaway restaurant at 351 Aylsham Rd in Norwich, with no sitting area on site. Mandi is the main dish, ordered as chicken, beef, lamb or Yemeni chicken mandi, and the alfaham chicken mandi also comes in a peri peri version. Each mandi comes with mandi rice and dip sauces of tomato and yogurt. A full portion feeds about four people, so a single order can cover a group or leave leftovers for another meal. The kitchen also cooks grill dishes, including shawaya-infused chicken. Service is walk-in.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return to the Alfaham mandi above all, a chicken-and-rice dish several call a favourite, with one reviewer comparing it to the Middle Eastern mandi they had longed for and another driving a long way for it. Close behind are the Yemeni chicken, beef and lamb mandi, with the beef called well-cooked, the chicken juicy, and the rice described as perfectly cooked. Portions come up repeatedly, with a full mandi said to feed about four and leftovers for another meal. Peri peri and dynamite versions draw some mixed reaction, as one reviewer found the peri peri spicy and not a favourite. The main trade-off is that this is a takeaway shop, and one reviewer says it would be the busiest place in Norwich if it had a sitting area. One delivery order arrived with a very spicy chicken instead of the non-spicy one requested, and after contacting the restaurant the customer received a full refund and planned to order again.

“I can't believe what I spotted randomly on my visit to Norwich and had left me highly impressed.Absolutely marvellous and can't believe I just tasted the best Al-fahm (kanthari) with Mandi. What amazing flavours and nice gentle kick with green chillies to the aromatic rice. The chicken was succulent and the flavours outstanding. This is a hidden gem and a MUST try place for indo-arab fusion or just good food lovers.”

“If you are confused whether to order or not and probably ordering for the first time, go for it. Worth every penny. We ordered dynamite alfham Mandi full and half peri peri. Dynamite mandi was so good. The rice perfectly cooked, mandi perfectly seasons. Peri peri was spicy and maybe not my favourite as when you think peri peri you’d imagine is dark yellowish but this was like dark reddish peri peri alfham. The Mandi was something that I’d order again. Full mandi is literally enough for 4 people and for 3 people with big appetite.”

“Ordered a full peri peri al faham mandi chicken,and to our surprise serving is really huge( we actually never expect that)🤩😱it was packed of full rice mandi ,whole chicken and 2 dip sauces(tomato puree and yogurt)the best part is when we started eating it.,it was the taste of middle eastern mandi that we are longing for, for a very long time since we left middle east..its was definitely the best mandi we ever had here in the UK.,brings back the memories of our saudi arabia life(so nostalgic).,this shop is definitely highly recommended🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍, our 2 hour drive from milton keynes to norfolk was never a waste of time🤗🚗”
