Established in 2002, London’s Royal India is one of the most popular restaurants on the busy, eatery-filled Stoke Newington Church Street. At this luxurious local restaurant guests are encouraged to sit back, relax and be pampered by the helpful and attentive staff, resulting in one of the most enjoyable dining experiences in the area. The sumptuous but not at all over-the-top surroundings combine colonial-esque wicker seating and swathes of scarlet red as paint accents, on tablecloths and on pretty silk wall hangings with the impression of space and light created by the large windows looking out on to the street. The Royal India kitchen specialises, of course, in the very best of traditional Indian food.
