Royale Indian Restaurant has served Hamilton for more than fifteen years, with its Cameron Road dining room forming one of two local branches. The Hamilton East venue is a fully licensed restaurant and cocktail bar rather than a delivery kitchen, offering table reservations, takeaway and home delivery alongside catering and private functions. That range makes it equally practical for a weekday curry, a family dinner or a larger celebration, while adjustable spice levels allow each table to decide how much heat it wants.

The starter menu gives the tandoor a prominent role. Chicken tikka and tandoori chicken are marinated with yoghurt and spices before they meet the heat, joined by garlic kebabs, seekh kebab and tandoori prawns. Fish pakoda brings a crisp chickpea flour coating, while paneer tikka carries the same clay oven character into a vegetarian plate. Onion bhaji, vegetable samosa and gobi 65 add fried contrasts, and mixed platters make it possible to sample several preparations before choosing a curry.

The main menu travels across more than one Indian region. Butter chicken, korma and rogan josh provide familiar North Indian anchors, while Madras, Chettinad, saagwala, pepper and garlic curries offer changes in coconut, spinach, roasted spice or aromatic heat. South Indian dosa comes in forms ranging from plain and crisp ghee roast to potato, paneer, chicken or lamb fillings, and kothu roti introduces a chopped flatbread dish associated with Sri Lankan cooking. Indo-Chinese flavours appear elsewhere, widening the choice again.

Vegetarian diners can build a full meal from dal palak, dal makhani, channa masala, aloo gobi and vegetable korma, then move into paneer with spinach, peas, tomato, capsicum or a creamy butter sauce. Seafood has its own regional variations: Malabari fish or prawn uses coconut gravy, Goan fish brings curry leaves and dried chilli, and kadai or butter prawn offers either tomato and capsicum intensity or a milder creamy finish. Naan, rice and other accompaniments tie these different styles into a meal for the whole table.
