Curries & Mains

The curry section of our Indian menu covers the full range of what Indian cooking offers at the centre of the table — from the bold, tomato-based gravies of North Indian cooking to the slower, richer preparations of the handi tradition. Our curries are cooked with whole spices, fresh aromatics and properly marinated protein, arriving at the table as dishes with genuine depth. Available with chicken, mutton and vegetarian options, our curry and handi section is the heart of the Indian dining experience at Royal Authentic Restaurant.

Biryani, Rice & Bread

Biryani is one of the defining dishes of Indian cuisine, and our Biryani and Pulao section approaches it with the care that the dish demands — properly marinated meat, aged basmati rice cooked in layers with the aromatics that give a great biryani its character, and the patience to let it all come together. Alongside biryani, our Bread Corner covers fresh naan, roti and other Indian breads, cooked to order and served immediately — because bread that has been sitting is bread that has lost its purpose.

Dal, Veg & Starters

Indian cuisine has one of the world’s great vegetarian traditions, and our menu reflects it. Our Dal Corner offers slow-cooked lentil dishes prepared in the North Indian manner — properly tempered, deeply flavoured and a genuinely satisfying meal in themselves with bread. Our Veg Corner brings vegetable preparations that treat produce as the main event rather than a side note. Our Indian Starters, Soups and Fried Items round out the menu with the snacks and small plates that Indian cooking does so well.

Great place for truly authentic Pakistani food with rich, traditional flavors. The service was good and attentive, and the restaurant offers plenty of indoor seating with a limited outdoor seating area as well. We ordered the mutton karahi, which had very good taste. Chappal kebabs were incredible, highlight of the meal. The chicken seekh kebab with rice was also excellent; the kebabs were tender, soft, and full of flavor. The Kandhari naan and kulcha naan were perfectly done, crispy on the outside yet soft inside. Overall, a very satisfying experience and a solid spot for authentic Pakistani cuisine. Would definitely visit again.
