Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the curries, with the lamb and chicken curries, the Butter Chicken and a Chicken Biriyani in mild curry sauce all singled out, and the soft, fresh naan, including a cheesy one, comes up close behind. The sizzling mixed grill and salt and pepper chips are also named, along with a good range of draught beers. Reviewers describe friendly, polite staff and generous portions, and several mention the big screens for live sport and the plentiful parking. Some contrast the place with its earlier incarnation as a different restaurant. Criticisms are small but specific: one reviewer found the music too loud to hold a conversation, another found little meat in the lamb curry, and a third noted slow drinks service on a very busy night. One diner took home leftover chips because the portion was so big.

“Visited with family and friends and had a brilliant experience! The lamb and chicken curries were delicious, packed with flavour and cooked to perfection. The mixed grill was absolutely sensational, arriving sizzling hot at the table and making a real impression. There’s also a fantastic range of draught beers to choose from, making it the perfect place to enjoy a proper meal with a good pint. A great combination of quality food, generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for a meal out with family and friends. Definitely worth a visit, and I’ll certainly be coming back!”

“Just a review to say WOW!! I came here last night (12th September) and was so impressed from the start, the warm welcome, seated in a lovely area, all waiters were so polite and friendly, gave us some time to look through the Menu and not rush us, but the real review is in the food! I'm a basic girl and always have massala lol, but last night I had the Chicken Biriyani and asked for a mild curry sauce, and it was out of this world! I had cheesey naan and it was the best cheese naan I've ever had, so soft and melted and tasty! And the salt and pepper chips were gorgeous! We shared those as there was plenty, i even brought the rest home with me as couldn't eat it all 🤭 but oh my..... you get a 10/10 5* off us! I used to come before when it was The Royal Oak but haven't been since 2024.. One thing I will say is though, the music is a bit too loud, can't hear ourselves when having conversations and with everyone else having to talk louder due to the music, it was too overwhelming, maybe turn it down to a much nice calmer setting, not everyone likes that loudness when going for a meal. But we will return for sure 😀😀😀😀”

“The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was top class—friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout. The inside is beautifully decorated, with a great atmosphere, and the massive screens make it an excellent place to enjoy live sporting events. There is also plenty of convenient parking, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food and experience. I would happily recommend The Royal Ivy Bar & Grill and will definitely be returning.”
