Low quality food, very expensive. £17.50 for what felt like Lidl ready meal warmed up. Not impressed. Service staff were attentive and friendly. The menu sounded good on paper, just the quality and price let it down unfortunately. Wouldn’t recommend.

Eaten here a few times, and had takeaway once. Food is always so tasty and fresh, with lots of different flavours and Persian spices. The food is presented really well too. Even takeaway is packaged and presented really well and tastes amazing. They're all vegetarian dishes (with option to be vegan) but all with the right balance of salt, sweet and umami. Some restaurants treat the vegetarian option as a meat dish and just take away the meat, but not here, you don't feel like anything is missing on the plate and it's full of flavour and you feel satisfyingly full afterwards. The menu changes by season and they have a specials board, so there's always something new to try.The service is always amazing, friendly smiley staff, they always ask about allergies (and can make most dishes vegan, nut free or gluten free), they can explain the dishes well if you ask and you're not waiting ages to order or to pay at the end.The dining area is small, cozy and uniquely Cafe Roya! Previously when I've been, they've had a bottle collection along the wall, this time the table was sort of on a landing upstairs, so the stairs were in the middle of the dining area, without being overly bright and not at all drafty or too warm. This gives the dining experience a special and unique atmosphere, which I really like and I can't wait to go again!

Best restaurant in the Midlands!

The food was brilliant. Everything was vegetable-focused and wholesome but without feeling "health food"-y. It was just genuine, tasty, classy veggie food. Service was very good, the ambience was warm - you could come for a romantic evening or as a family. I would recommend Cafe Roya to anyone - especially as so many vegan and vegetarian restaurants are struggling to stay open now.Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegan and gluten free options

3 friends met for lunch and were thoroughly spoiled by both the food and service. Many thanks to all involved.Vegetarian options: The most delicious food ever.

We absolutely love coming here, the menu is always different and exciting, the ingredients used are second to none and the service is excellent. We regularly come with our son and on both occasions the chef has created something for him either something on the menu or a new creation! I had the most interesting dessert that reminded me of my travels in India, we will be coming back regularly.Kid-friendliness: High chair available, staff very friendly and can make something not on menu for kids
Love this place. Always excellent food, great service and excellent atmosphere. Thank you very much.Vegetarian options: Excellent choice of food all meat free and interesting combinations that just work so well together. A lot of the food is also glutton free and vegan.

This place is wonderful. I go a handful of times a year and have never had a bad meal or any issues with service. Wonderful flavoursome menus that change every month. Fresh food perfect for all and people with dietary requirements.Dietary restrictions: Clear shows gluten or nu and vegan options. They also ask if you have any restrictions or allergies when you book or order.

We love this place, you can see a lot of care and attention goes into creating original delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes. It used to be pricy, but considering how much the price has gone up to eat a decent meal out it's average cost now.Sometimes you need to be cautious though, the flavours are authentic and may not be to everyone's taste even if you like the sound of the ingredients. I had the Iranian rice last time and there was an entire ?pickled lime in the rice which was incredibly strong and made the entire dish taste like bathroom cleaner (to me anyway) and I felt sick after eating it. However this was one thing I personally didn't like amongst a treasure trove of delights from countless visits and wouldn't let it knock the 5* rating as everything was well cooked it just wasn't to my personal taste. Their tres leches cake is amazing!
