Cooked fresh every day. Dine in or order online for delivery.

Welcome to Royal Authentic Restaurant

Royal Authentic Restaurant serves the best lunch in Al Danah — a full midday menu drawing from the rich culinary traditions of ArabIC, Pakistan and India, available for dine in and delivery every day from our kitchen on Airport Road, Abu Dhabi.

Lunch at Royal Authentic Restaurant is a proper meal. Not a reduced version of the dinner menu, not a set of shortcut dishes rushed out to meet the midday hour — but the same quality of cooking that we bring to every service, prepared fresh and available across the full range of our cuisines. Whether you are a local resident, a professional looking for a satisfying working lunch nearby, or a family sitting down for a shared midday meal, our lunch menu has been built to meet you.

Rice & Biryani

The rice section of our lunch menu covers two distinct traditions. Our Arabic Style Rice dishes are prepared in the Gulf manner — fragrant, generously spiced and built to be the centrepiece of a shared table. Our Biryani & Pulao selection brings the depth of South Asian rice cooking: layered biryani with properly marinated meat and the slow-cooked aromatics that give a great biryani its character, alongside lighter pulao preparations. All rice dishes are cooked to order and served with the accompaniments that complete them.

Karahi, Handi & BBQ

The Karahi and Handi section represents the heart of our Pakistani and Indian lunch offering. A karahi is a dish that requires confidence from the kitchen — high heat, fresh tomatoes, whole spices and the precision to bring a sauce to exactly the right consistency. Ours are cooked to order in the traditional manner, available with chicken, mutton or beef. Our Handi preparations offer a slower, richer alternative — cooked in the sealed pot that gives the dish its name. Alongside these, our BBQ selection brings charcoal-grilled cuts, marinated and cooked to order.

Starters, Soups & Salads

Not every lunch calls for a full main course, and our starters, soups and salads are developed with exactly that in mind. Our starters and fried items span both South Asian and Arabic traditions — snacks and small plates that work as a standalone lunch or as the beginning of a larger meal. Our soups are made fresh and change with the season. Our salad selection provides a lighter, fresher alternative for those who want something green and well-dressed at the centre of their meal.

Breads & Sides

A proper lunch is not complete without the right bread, and our Bread Corner covers the full range — from fresh naan and roti to the flakier, layered options that pair best with the richer sauces on the menu. Our Dal Corner offers slow-cooked lentil dishes that are among the most satisfying items on any Pakistani or Indian menu. Our Veg Corner rounds out the menu with vegetable dishes prepared with the care that Pakistani and Indian cooking brings to its vegetarian tradition.
