The Royal Palace - Terrigal

In Terrigal on the Central Coast, The Royal Palace brings a fresh, sophisticated take on fine dining Indian cuisine.

Traditional recipes enriched with exotic spices meet contemporary polish in a warm, welcoming environment, equally suited to relaxed get-togethers and celebratory gatherings. Modern décor complements the kitchen's bold flavours, creating an inviting atmosphere.

The tandoor's the heartbeat here. From charcoal tandoori chicken, marinated in yoghurt and spices, then chargrilled for a smoky finish, to tandoori lamb chops and Kakori seekh kebab, roasted so their juices sing, these opening plates promise aroma, texture, and theatre.

The menu sweeps from comfort to kick. Think butter chicken, its velvety tomato and cashew sauce gently embracing tandoori-roasted meat, or chicken tikka masala bright with tomatoes, capsicum, onion, and coriander.

Stepping up the heat, a slow-cooked lamb shank curry or a lively lamb vindaloo delivers a distinct, moreish tang through vinegar and dry chillies.

Whether it's a casual dinner or a special milestone, the restaurant's polished ambience makes every visit feel like an occasion. Secure a table, bring your appetite, and let the palace put a little spice in your step!
