The Royal Taj Sharma's

The Royal Taj has taken over from that amazing yet unknown Italian restaurant Campagnola, and suffers from the same problem of invisibility, as it is just a street or two away from the popular Ballarat Road restaurant district. A large balloon saying "Now Open" indicates (for now, at least) that it is there but it may still suffer the same fate of fading into obscurity. At least The Royal Taj managed to avoid the problem of mis-matching tableware, and they also have good wait staff, in what is a very good attempt at genuine Indian culture. The cuisine is mostly very well cooked, with a few exceptions, and, unlike the nearby Indian restaurant of Aangan, this one has great dessert. But this is far more expensive than Aangan, and much more expensive than Campagnola, and our banquet that we had because we couldn't figure out the menu cost a whopping $40 each, with a $6 tiny lassi and an overpriced $4 small soft drink glass to total $90 for a moderate sized meal. The quality was good but it wasn't $90 worth, more like $50 or $60 worth, so we left there feeling ripped off. The owner was very rude when we tried to come by the day before this too. These guys clearly have business smarts but Campagnola was overall a better restaurant.

First visit on 25 November. Staff friendly and meal was very good. Suggest there be a front of house person there at all times, so that there is no waiting when wanting something. At this time as this is a new eating place, serves medium to large, but, I don't except this to continue. 3 persons and all order rice dishes which proved to be more than enough. Next time only 1 large between three. Other choices being "Buttered Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh" very good and fairly large portions compared to similar restaurants. Definatly go again

My Husband & I frequently go camping in StFaustin and we always try to make time for a stop at Le Routier off of the 117 highway for a hardy breakfast.
