  “I had the caramelised garlic and goats cheese tart + 5 summer salads for my main and the chocolate tahini cheesecake for dessert. This meal was outstanding! I honestly can't remember the last time I ate so well. Extremely well priced for such brilliant quality. The wait staff were friendly and professional. Highly recommend!”

  “I want to start by saying how lovely and friendly all of the staff we encountered were :) I really don't like to leave a negative review but I really hope the feedback is constructive. We were really looking forward to coming to Cafe Roya as we've wanted to come for years, so we came on our anniversary. The starters were really delicious and exactly what we had be hoping for...unusual flavours and really nice (especially the minted mushy peas!). Unfortunately we found the mains to be just ok, maybe it's what we ordered but my partner said the burrito was one of the worst he's had and quite dull, he also felt the salad portions were tiny. The Thali I had again was just ok, it seemed to be lacking in any real flavour apart from heat and salt. The Burrito really could have done with some sour cream and the Thali some kind of cucumber raita. We felt the price paid for the quality of meal we had was excessive. I've been vegetarian for 20 years and have eaten some amazing meals at veggie and non veggie resturants for a fraction of the price. We were also mind blown when the bill arrived and we were charged £5 for a bottle of water? We thought that mark up seemed extraordinarily high. I'm so sad to say that we left a little dissapointed. Like I say maybe we made the wrong choices as the starters were fab just let down by the laclustre mains and cost, for these prices we had hoped for a meal to remember.”

  “We were really late for our reservation due to an unexpected traffic jam. We let the restaurant know as soon as we realised we wouldn't be on time, and even though the evening was fully booked they were really lovely about keeping our table and serving us quickly so we could finish before they needed it for the next booking. So glad they did squeeze us in as the food was delicious - gorgeous unusual vegetarian/vegan dishes with their own distinctive flavours. The staff were lovely too. Would highly recommend!”

I ordered a burrito, and it was incredibly well-seasoned truly delicious and full of flavor. The salads were also fresh and tasty. I highly recommend trying the Persian tea absolutely amazing! Definitely a place worth coming back to!”

  “My new favorite restaurant in UK! An absolute delight for vegetarians with the most unique, flavorsome dishes. Even meat lovers should surely like this place. While their menu is the most amazing part, the ambience & courteous staff also match the standard, giving a great experience overall. Will definitely be going back soon.”

  “I had a lovely meal here with my daughter. There were plenty of interesting options on the menu, with clear allergy advice and alternatives available. We had the best gluten free rosemary focacia. Ingredients are delivered daily by a local grocer. Support local!”

  “My wife recommended Café Roya after visiting recently with friends, and I’m glad she did. We had a brilliant evening. Food: We started with the bread and olives, which set the tone nicely. The hummus was excellent, the olives were huge and full of flavour, and the warm focaccia was spot on. The dukkah had a slight Bombay-mix feel — unexpected, but it worked. I went for the paratha lasagne: an unusual idea, but genuinely impressive. Great flavours, a gentle heat, and far more cohesive than I expected. My wife chose the winter pie and said it was “exactly what I was looking for”, which tells you everything. For dessert, I picked the pavlova. I briefly envied my friend’s chocolate ganache tart when it arrived, but that disappeared as soon as I got into mine. Excellent choice. Drinks: A well-curated list with organic beers, organic cocktails, and wines that kept the wine drinkers happy. Staff: Everyone we met was friendly, attentive, and relaxed — helpful without hovering. A great visit all round. Would happily return.”

  “Lovely vegetarian only restaurant, service was impeccable. The menu changes every month so we're excited to go back soon! A hidden gem out of the main Beeston town centre, it feels like a small friendly business which is thriving. We had cauliflower tacos, cream spinach, mushroom korma (from the specials) and paella with the grillo white wine. All of this was delicious, with a superb mix of delicate flavours throughout. The food was nicely varied, there were different sauces and components with a good mix of flavours, particularly in both of the mains. The staff were also bubbly and very helpful which was refreshing.”

  “A wonderful gem in beeston. The menu always changes monthly and there are regular specials. Lovely staff, fantastic food, and a good price. Cannot recommend going here enough, especially for the delicious coconut truffles that come with your receipts!”
