http://www.essexrestaurants.com/ 227-1373 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html Just seen the review complaining about the rediculous noise at this venue! Will they never learn?? I promise you, it is SO LOUD in there while you eat, it would wake the dead and a deaf person would hear it and complain!! bFood is ok, service very questionable....we complained we couldn't hear each other speak only to be told it would get louder, not quieter, later! Do they really not understand?? If I wanted extreme music I'd go to a gig.....but usually people eating out are with friends and cctually want to chat! What a shame, but I'll bet they won't change, and we'll not go there again though we live walking distance from their restaurant..... ]]> Sat, 14 Apr 2012 18:49:42 +0100 227-1059 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html Went on a Friday evening for a works meal, fortunately I didn't pay. Sat down at 8pm, starters with us 9ish main meal served at 10pm, luke warm. The disco, which I was not aware of until I arrived started around 10pm, far too noisy, I seriously could not hear the person sat next to me. The people serving were very polite and helpful, No fault here at all. The food, luke warm, aghast at the fact a microwave was used to re-heat the food after the complaint. I've had better from a jar of Lloyd Grossman. Value for money, our meal worked out at £37.50 per head including drinks, umm I don't think so. Would I recommend? No. If you like lots of noise with a luke warm meal and prefer to shout your conversation, then this is the place for you. Not for me I'm afraid ]]> Wed, 11 May 2011 13:16:00 +0100 227-989 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html I celebrated my 40th Birthday in August at The Royal Tiger, with 26 friends. It was a fantastic night. Staff were very friendly , helpful and discreet. Food was lovely. Disco was great, all sorts of music until 1.30am. Would definately go back, loved it !! ]]> Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:40:03 +0100 227-964 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html Cannot fault the food, service or ambience of this delightful restaurant. The staff do everything they can to ensure you enjoy your meal and the quality of the food is amazing. I've visited on a party night and on a Sunday for the buffet which is actually served at your table. It was delicious and excellent value. I treated my mum and dad and they've never eaten Indian food in a restaurant before but they thought it was fabulous and wanted to book for Christmas Day whilst still at the table! ]]> Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:40:19 +0100 227-779 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html I have been visiting the Royal Tiger Restaurant for several years now and always found it to be a great experience. Whether it be the Food, Drink, Service and not to mention the Party Nights, its The Place to enjoy with family and friens...

I recently had my 40th Birthday Party there and it was one of the best nights I have had in a long time, eating, drinking and dancing until the early hours! Highly recommended... ]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:10:31 +0000 227-713 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html amazing, although if you go in a big group the food can be a bit slow! but would always go back. ]]> Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:34:51 +0000 227-685 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html We went here last night for a Christmas celebration with friends. There was a set meal of 4 courses for £27.50 - the courses turned out to be 1 poppadom each, a starter, a very small main with hardly any rice or noodles to accompany it and ice cream OR coffee.

The food is very poor quality made with poor produce, the chicken was that slimey water pumped type you get in cheap takeaways. We had to wait an hour between starters and main course and servuce all night was very slow, unless they were taking away your glasses and constantly offering you more drinks - which were very expensive. The bill at the end of the night was ludicrous for the food and service we received. The only highlight was the dancefloor and music. Don't go! ]]> Sat, 05 Dec 2009 18:15:43 +0000 227-684 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html Been here many times and it is just the most perfect restaurant. Good food and good service and great laughs to be had here at all times. All the staff and managment are there for your enjoyment. Dont miss out on the fantastic buffet food deals. ]]> Sat, 05 Dec 2009 17:41:20 +0000 227-646 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html A great night had by all! Would recommend for groups of people who want good food and to dance the night away! ]]> Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:19:37 +0000 227-624 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html Worth going on a sunday for the all you can eat buffet, very good value for money. ]]> Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:49:42 +0100 227-540 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html Arrived and announced name, 8 persons, 7.30pm. Far too young girl at door 'Is that Carol for 5 at 8'. Not a great start. Booked 4 weeks earlier but not on the list!! Table was found and beautiful meal was served up. Ordering drinks was a nightmare with orders being lost and re-ordered. Ladies toilets blocked and flooded so Gents became unisex. There seemed to be a fly problem, that is buzz not trouser, which was a little irritating. Perhaps we just got a bad evening. Despite all this we had a good evening as I was with most of the people I would like to be with on my birthday. If the management could sort out the fine detail this place has the potential to be brilliant. ]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 10:35:25 +0100 227-512 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html My first visit to the royal tiger was with friends on July 11th 2008, and i wasn't disappointed. The night just kept getting better and better. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the food was better than any indian i have tasted yet. The atmosphere and ambience were topped with the music that was played throughout the night from their resident dj.I have made the royal tiger my regular and can say that i have been converted to an original soulgirl! I would like to take this opportunity to say well done and special thanks to ash, laku, mel, michael and all the staff for always making me, my family and friends welcome on every single visit. Love you guys. xxx ]]> Mon, 25 May 2009 11:45:03 +0100 227-507 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html I heard about this place from a close friend,if you want,great food ,fantastic atmosphere,exellent service and great entertainment-this is the place to go.
the fact that you dont have to get a cab into chelsmford to get that clubbing vibe (and pay for the privelidge)at the royal tiger "its free"ok the drinks mite be a tad expensive,but still way cheaper than the price of a taxi and entrance fee to a nightclub.
The main reason i will be going back is the dj that they have there,Me being an old soul boy,i love my classic soul music,the night i was there he played some quality music,every tune a floorfiller,the place was packed with a varied age group,but he definatley pleased them all.for a great night out this is certainly a hidden gem. ]]> Mon, 18 May 2009 13:36:16 +0100 227-494 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html I think people in this country need to get real when it comes to eating out. This place was a disaster. Apart from the annoying flies buzzing around, always a bad sign, all of the food was "un meat" as Gordon Ramsay would say. I think these people have taken the "Mums gone to Iceland" philosophy a step too far. We wanted to try Thai food and I have to say it has put us off forever. Between 4 of us we shared six different dishes not one of them had a piece of genuine meat. It was all that reconstituted garbage. Total bill was £120, we only had two drinks each and a starter also full of "un meat". A definate candidate for Gordons next "Kitchen Nightmare" program. ]]> Mon, 04 May 2009 11:30:34 +0100 227-245 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html I have always enjoyed every visit to this restaurant. From the refreshingly informal yet polite way the service is delivered, through some great food, to a great night dancing or just chatting. I thouroughly recommend this restaurant and the dining/entertaining experience it offers.

Always plenty of parking, £30-£50 per head depending if you cannot resist their lobster , but so easy to eat for less , and some great vegetarian options on the menu if meat isn't your thing.

Take a taxi, or get a lift, don't take the car, they make a lovely Kir Royale at the cozy bar and the happily packed dance floor is right there for some more vigorous fun...

Highly recommended. ]]> Sat, 31 May 2008 18:09:34 +0100 227-227 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff, lovely food!! ]]> Thu, 15 May 2008 17:20:34 +0100 227-204 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html The food was quite average the night that i and a group of people visted the restaurant. But the service was very good and the staff very helpfull.

We were all a little disappointed when we came to pay the bill to be told that the service charge added at the end of the bill would not be going to the staff, but the restaurant it self. No tips left for the staff either paid cash or on a credit card go's to the staff it go's directly to the restaurant owner. ]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:49:26 +0100 227-68 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-royal-tiger-rettendon-essex.html I agree with L Simmonds, the Royal Tiger has 'raised the bar' for Indian Restaurants in the Chelmsford area. I live in South Woodham Ferrers which is 'blessed' with four or five Indian restaurants, but it's still worth the drive to the Royal Tiger.

The Thai food is fresh and zingy, while the Indian menu is spicy and flavoursome. Try the Goan Crab ob Puree as a starter.

The staff are friendly and polite, and while the drinks aren't cheap, the overall bill is good value for money.

Sunday buffet lunch is a bonus, we've never managed to finish a Sunday lunch there, and for a tenner it's great value.

Other local Indian restaurants - raise your game! ]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2008 16:29:49 +0000
