Royal Indian

Royal Indian sits on Northumberland Place in Teignmouth, serving halal Indian cuisine with an emphasis on getting the classics right: prawn pathia, chicken madras, lemon chicken, chicken tikka masala and motta paneer are the dishes that come up most often as the ones to order. The room leans elegant rather than fitted out like a typical takeaway - simple, comfortable interior with outdoor seating for anyone who'd rather eat outside.

It covers dine-in, takeaway and delivery, with a drinks list that runs to cocktails and wine alongside the usual soft drinks, and reviewers consistently mention warm, attentive service as much as the food itself. Prices stay reasonable for the quality on offer, which has helped it hold a spot inside Teignmouth's top 25 restaurants. With a 4.2 Google rating from 253 reviews, it's built a solid reputation as one of the town's more dependable Indian restaurants.
