Restaurant Royal Oriental, Av. Louis-Casaï 60, 1216 Cointrin

While spending an evening at Balexert, I searched for a nearby restaurant and came across Royal Oriental, an Iranian restaurant that seemed promising. We decided to make a reservation and headed there for dinner. The restaurant itself is modest—nothing fancy or luxurious—but it has a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. What really stood out was the food. The grilled chicken and meat were cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and full of authentic Persian flavor. Each dish was well-seasoned, and the balance of spices really brought out the best in the ingredients. It’s clear that the kitchen takes pride in its traditional Iranian recipes. The service was another highlight. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was served promptly and with care. Even though the restaurant isn’t high-end in terms of decor, the experience was elevated by the quality of both the food and the service. Overall, Royal Oriental is a solid choice if you’re in the area and craving Persian cuisine. It’s not a place for luxury dining, but for a satisfying, flavorful meal in a comfortable setting, it certainly delivers. I’ll definitely return if I’m ever nearby again. A hidden gem near Balexert!

We had their lamb beryani, chicken beryani, butter chicken and curry chicken. All tasted pretty good but the butter chicken was a bit sweet for our liking. We also ordered a pot of Arabian tea which quite good. Service was reasonably fast.

Excellent stuff! I’ll be going back 100%
