Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, ordering formats, and heat levels for dining at Royal Time.

  • Plan for Kitchen Prep Times

    If you are ordering large feasts or custom-made curry spreads, factor in freshly prepared order-to-plate times that can run 25 to 45 minutes during busy kitchen periods.

  • Choose Banquet Sets for Groups

    Opt for structured options like the classic banquet or feast for two if you want coordinated multi-course dining served hot without navigating individual à la carte dishes.

  • Clarify Spice Preferences When Ordering

    Be specific about your heat expectations when ordering rich specialties like the goat curry, as house preparations balance fragrance and spices rather than extreme, sharp heat.
