Really good Indian food

Really tasty Indian food for a fair price! Besides the vegan menu with lots of options, they also have some vegan sides in their regular menu such as vegan naan.

Best Indian restaurant in Ghent

Lovely place! My favorite restaurant in Ghent.
The manager is vegan himself.
Already visited many times! There are many vegan dishes on the menu. (Chana Tofu is high recommended!) Ask for the special vegan menu with about 50! vegan options.
You decide how spicy your dish will be.
It is best to book in advance.

Best indian in town

My recommendation is to ask them for recommendations, and they'll make you the best food ever. If you don't want to do that, ask for the vegan menu (it isn't standart in the main menu) Owner/chef is vegan himself and great customer service, always so kind! 10/10 recommend!!!

Best tofu masala!

Came here twice and ordered the vegan tofu masala and vegan garlic naan, Amazing!!! Beautiful flavours and aroma. So good to find an indian restaurant that offers a tofu curry not just vegetables or lentils. Staff are very friendly and accommodating and really understand what vegan means. Highly recommend!

You can ask for a specific menu offering more vegan options (almost 40) than the usual menu.
The food was delicious. Fast and efficient service.

The best place for Indian food

If you ask for it, they will give you a separate menu with only vegan options and there is so much to choose from. I had the tofu masala and the flavors were amazing. On the side, they offer vegan naan in different flavors (plain, garlic, olive, stuffed,...) and they are all to die for. The service was quick and friendly (on Sunday noon)

Pros: Lots of options, Flavorful food

Heerlijk

Het restaurant heeft een aantal vegan opties. Bijzonder is dat ze ook vegan naan (inclusief garlic naan) bieden, evenals vegan mango lassi. Mijn vriend en ik bestelden tofu masala met garlic naan en tandoori roti. Erg geslaagd! Ik was vooral groot fan van de roti

Pros: Prima veganistisch aanbod , Heerlijke roti

Indian comfort food

Great food, lots of vegan options (including vegan naan). We visited the place on Sunday evening and it was quite busy. Which meant it was a bit noisy (be prepared if you get easily overwhelmed by sounds) and we had to wait a while before our food arrived. But it was worth it because all of it was nice😄Some of the staff was a bit in a hurry or agitated at times, but overall the atmosphere was social and cosy.

worth 5 stars

This is my favourite Indian restaurant. Nothing fancy, but just really flavourful food. Ask for the vegan menu and they will bring you a separate overview with more than 30 vegan options. If you can't handle the overchoice: this time we went for the tandoori aloo curry and the gobhi methi masala with some garlic naan & cilantro naan on the side, which was just the perfect combination of Indian comfort food.

I've been here several times before (last time we had the vegan kabab curry and the kadhai mushroom with garlic naan and olive naan) and it was always good, so don't hesitate to try some different options.

So many options!

They have a lot of vegan dishes in their new menu. They also have amazing vegan naan bread; regular, garlic and filled naan. The owner is vegan and so friendly!
The way to dine here is to order a few dishes and share with your friends, that way you can taste all of the amazing spices they put in each dish. You will never be disappointed dining at Royal India.
💚💚💚
I hope they get the chance to go fully vegan soon, so I can give them their well deserved 5 star rating 🤩

Updated from previous review on 2020-07-25

Pros: So many delish vegan options, with amazing naan, The kindest vegan owner, Family restaurant

Cons: More vegans need to come here,, so they don't have to serve non-vegan food anymore, 💚💚💚

Thanks for the appreciation for food and hospitality. We love to host fellow vegan community . We know honey is not vegan but then we don’t like crystal sugar in food , although we rather be honest . But taken your advice we will in future rather use sugar than honey . Thanks again for the appreciation 🙏

Nice indian place

There are 8 vegan main dishes on the menu. If you ask for the detailed menu, you will find another 2 pages of vegan dishes. So a lot of variety to choose from. Highly recommend the vegan garlic naan.

Pros: A lot of vegan options, Friendly staff

Cons: Have to ask for detailed menu

Great Indian food with lots of choices

We had the tofu massala and jalfrezi (the latter on recommendation of the host).

There is an extended menu with tons of vegan choices.

Updated from previous review on 2022-09-10

Pros: A ton of options on an extended menu for vegans, Very tasty

Cons: Small portions, better order some Naan bread too, Small area means it's quite noisy when it's busy

Very good

Really good Indian food. Staff is very friendly but seems to be overworked. Many vegan options and all are amazing, but for us the Rhajastani potato dish was a clear winner. Also love that they have multiple vegan naan options. Price wise it's also decent, especially due to the location.

Food is nice but Experience was terrible

Waitress hardly spoke to us, just dropped menus in front of us and walked off. Seemed annoyed the whole time. Not usually people to complain about service but it was just that bad! Our food arrived after 1.5 hours after ordering and they were beginning to close the restaurant just as our food arrived. Once we got the food it was very nice. The owner was nice and apologetic, also got a free shot for our troubles. Would recommend a takeaway from here but not to dine in.

Pros: Food was great, Cheap and nice wine

Cons: Service was very slow, Unattentive

That garlic naan

Is there anything better that garlic naan? Not a chance! And here in Royal India you'll get the best naan (for my non-indian taste).
I'm a big fan of their tofu with mint sauce, it's a dish I didn't know before. Vegan and vegetarian options are specified really clearly and staff knows the difference between those. When I first was there, like two years ago, I went to the bathroom and my boyfriend placed our orders. I came back and he told me that he wanted to order masala chai for me and the lady said, a bit concerned, "but there's cow's milk in it", cause she saw he ordered a vegan dish. And I just loved that!! I think most of the people would say "yeah, ok" and didn't think more of that, but she wanted to be sure he knows about the non-vegan milk ♥️ Of course he's got me tea instead. I was there few days ago and the same lady still works there ☺️

Pros: Many vegan and vegetarian options, The staff is well aware about veganism, Good prices

Cons: No soy milk for chai tea :(

Amazing!

We mentioned we were vegan to the host and she immediately offered an other menu which had two full pages of vegan options! As there was way too much to choose from, we asked her for recommendations and they were simply amazing!

Pros: So many vegan options!, Delicious food, Friendly host
