Royal Cafe is perhaps one of the oldest names in fine dining in Lucknow. Aptly located in the heart of Hazratganj, Royal Cafe is the much loved destination of food lovers on a big budget. Well, it is pricey but value for money. I has some usual chicken curry and naan, and must say, the food did not disappoint me.... More

We mainly ate here because their golgappas are supposedly made in spring water. We ate them and did not fall sick. The rest of their food, although not the best in Lucknow, was fairly good.

We booked this hotel for our weeklong stay in Goa mainly based on its #1 rating on TripAdvisor. And it is a unique little gem, really. We have stayed at many hotels over the years, often luxury ones with impeccable details and fantastic designs. Price-wise Casa Candolim is on par with these better-class hotels. But the comparison fails: Casa Candolim... More

Visited here because I can eat only Western food. Chose fish fingers which would have been good, had not the whole plate been liberally dusted with white pepper! Totally ruined it for me.

Royal Cafe is definitely Lucknow's most popular family restaurant. If Tunday is an absolute example of a food genius success, Royal Cafe is surely an absolute example of modern food commerce success. Initially started as a brilliant chat corner, it did move into commerce direction, but with huge success, because of the proper standardization. The location of the flagship outlet... More

The food was as good as I remember from previous visits over a decade back. Service was as good too. The change was mainly in the decor and I missed the vintage look of yesteryears. The chaat counters on both sides of the entrance are unpleasant, crowded and let off all kinds of foul odours making the entry and exit... More
