Kitchen Royale

Wow — this place is absolutely incredible! My family and I (group of 4) are staying one night in Crawley for a layover out of Gatwick to California and were looking for some good authentic Indian food for our last meal in England. Kitchen Royale was definitely the best choice we could have made! Even though the place was packed, we were seated quickly and treated with the greatest kindness by all the staff. Every employee was extremely friendly, kind, and provided excellent service. The food was one of the best I’ve experienced, each of our dishes were amazing (veg samosas, lamb samosas, mild chicken tikka masala, extra spicy chicken tikka masala, medium chicken methi, spicy chana aloo, garlic naan). The spicy and extra spicy dishes were definitely the hottest foods we’ve had in England and the taste was phenomenal. This restaurant alone is enough to make us miss England. It deserves way more than 5 stars — we highly recommend it!

I read a lot of reviews but I rarely write one (I know, I'm one of those). I absolutely had to write a review of this place though- it is the best AUTHENTIC Indian food I have ever had. My husband and I travel frequently and we have tried Indian food all around the world. This little gem put them all to shame. The lamb positively melted in my mouth, the curry was perfect, the naan was pillowy and scrumptious. There were no al dente onions or sickly sweet sauces to be found (my personal pet peeves). Nothing was oily and everything was seasoned to perfection. Not only was the food absolutely mind blowing, the service exceeded my wildest expectations. My husband has several food allergies and the staff took time to listen and understand exactly what was necessary to safely cook for him. The service here was better than we've received at michelin starred restaurants. Eating at Kitchen Royale Crawley was a wonderful experience and we will be back as soon as we are in the UK again. Please don't change anything- perfection is so rare.

Celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary 17/9/23 at this beautiful Restaurant. The food we chose was totally amazing, full credit to the kitchen crew. Front of House was totally amazing as well, so welcoming and genuinely happy to be part of our celebration. Would we go back 10000000000000% yes. Thank you ALL so much. Carol & Keith Lambert

Been once before and just ordered takeaway to allow my daughter the experience and her words "best curry I have had in my life and the keema naan just melted in my mouth" food and service amazing. Staff are awesome and will go out of their way to do anything for you. Our new fave. Food was piping hot too and clearly labeled.

Absolutely fantastic food, love that you can choose your spice level and there is a very good range of vegetarian dishes available. Restaurant is well furnished, giving a modern vibe, staff are very friendly and welcoming only adding to the atmosphere. Highly recommend, it’s nice as a vegetarian to have such a selection of meals available to them, I tried the butter paneer, which was tasty, the portion size was more than adequate. I highly recommend trying the Gulab Jamun. We will definitely be returning.

I have been to Kitchen Royale for a family dinner or special occasions too many time and my visits have been perfect. Great food, lovely atmosphere and all the staff I have met have been incredibly friendly, helpful and professional. Chef gave us some great recommendations when we asked for advice about what dish to choose. I can't recommend this place enough. I am looking forward to visiting many more times.

Wow what a find. Visiting the area and was recommended this restaurant. The food was fresh, delicious and amazing. The service was really personable and advised on new items on the menu which didn't fail to impress. The chicken/lamb combined curry was a new one and tasted phenomenonal. With 2 young kids who were a little tired after a long day, the staff really looked after them and advised on dishes they would like. Highly recommend. One of the best restaurants I have been to.

We had dinner at the restaurant several times and we have also ordered takeaway as much. The food is simply amazing, tasty, delicious and healthy. The staff and the owner are always welcoming and friendly and treat the guests with respect and kindness that reminds me of times past. In my opinion it is a must for anyone looking to taste authentic Indian cuisine.

I'd like to give this place one star for one reason and one reason only: it's nowhere near where I live (in fact, unless you happen to be in Gossops Green it's not very close to anything). For everything else it gets five stars and for one reason and one reason only: it's not possible to give any more stars! The menu is a laminated sheet of A4 - just like it should be: don't be fooled by the lack of leather-bound ostentatiousness: There is a plenty to choose from (both veggie and not, though also not halal) and I wish I could have eaten more. Because... the food is divine. Possibly the best Indian (technically, Punjabi) food I've had, if not ever at least for a very long time. The poppadums were faultless followed by a chicken tikka masala (cooked to your choice of spiciness, in my case hot; it wasn't too hot, and the flavours are immense!) With a plain naan. All washed down with a Tusker beer (but they have others; in fact the drinks menu is impressive, including cocktails). I shouldn't have had it, but I couldn't resist: the kulfi to end was as sublime as the main food. Perfection. And the Mukhwas / Sua Dhana was a nice touch! Staff were absolutely brilliant, toilets clean, portions decent (but you can have take away boxes if you don't finish) and prices very good indeed (less than a tenner for a main dish). I'd definitely come back.. had it not been so far away from -well- anywhere but Gossops Green!
