Great venue with lovely relaxing atmosphere. Attentive and friendly staff. Not much good for me though as they advertise gluten free food, and indeed provided an extensive gluten free menu. However, they also stated at the bottom that they could not guarantee any food was 100% gluten free! So it's not gluten free is it? Why lie if you can't provide it, coeliacs can be seriously ill if they consume even the smallest amount of gluten. My partner enjoyed his meal, I had to make do with a drink.

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!

Took my mother-in-law there for a high afternoon tea (it comes with a glass of Prosecco). As a coeliac (I need gluten-free food) I can often struggle to get a variety of items on a menu. What was fantastic about this was that my afternoon and my mother-in-laws were identical in variety and size ... just mine didn't have gluten. It made the experience so much more enjoyable. All the items were delicious although we both couldn't finish all of it so had to had a 'doggy box' to take some of the top tier cakes home! Yes its not cheap - but you definitely get what you pay for! Thinking of going back soon for the bottomless brunch :-)

Gluten free options of pasta and pizza. I had pollo pesto pizza gf and it was delicious. Good choice of gf puddings too. Staff attentive. As it's a small venue it gets very loud and I struggled to hear all our friends. I would definitely go back as we had a wonderful time overall.
