Woman visits Europe's biggest curry house and gives honest verdict

Walking into the iconic blue pyramid in Greater Manchester alongside the M60 motorway was a dream for me.

Aliens may as well have plonked it there for all anyone knew - no one seemed to know anyone who had been in, but it was somewhere everyone wanted to visit.

Now it's open as the Royal Nawaab, which is thought to be the biggest house in Europe. I was lucky enough to finally visit and step through the iconic doors - and boy was I .

From the moment you step in, the staff are friendly, chatty and attentive. They say they're like a family, and they treat you like you're theirs too. Sitting down, you're greeted with the most amazing aromas, and if you sneak a peek at some of the foods on offer, you soon realise that they have everything you could possibly desire.

Starters, main courses, desserts - you certainly won't be going hungry. And while £29.99 per person, excluding drinks, may seem pricey for a buffet-style situation, the food is so delicious I can see why it's a little more expensive than your average buffet.

Plus, the price point clearly isn't putting punters off. In the last ten days alone, they've seen more than 10,000 diners grace their restaurant - despite the fact it's not even officially open yet and is in a soft-launch phase.

Looking at the menu, one of the first things you may notice is that they do not serve alcohol, but this does not mean you won't have a good time when you visit Royal Nawaab. In fact, I completely forgot that I wasn't drinking a crisp glass of prosecco because the food was so incredible. I opted for an alcohol-free mojito instead, and it was delightful.

There's so much to choose from across the buffet, including the already viral panipuri from the restaurant, chicken tikka, biriyani, karahi lamb, saag - every dish your heart could desire. And if you find yourself at the curry buffet but you're not a fan, fear not, as there are even lasagnas and chicken nuggets for the fussiest of eaters.

I was delighted by how amazing the food tasted. Chicken was tender, lamb was cooked to perfection, and the panipuri was more delightful than even the TikTokers had conveyed through their videos.

Normally, I wouldn't opt for fish when eating out, but I'm so glad I tried the masala fish because it ended up being my favourite starter of the evening. It was crispy, but the fish tasted so fresh and left me wanting more. But I knew I had to save myself for the main event - the curries.

Every single thing I ate surpassed my expectations. I tried a spicy biriyani, which was the perfect amount of spice (for someone who loves spicy food!) and even the favourites like butter chicken were the best versions I've ever had of the dish.

You can even see the chefs cooking food in the open-plan kitchen, and you can request things to be made then and there like breads, biriyanis and more.

The white chicken karahi was another favourite of mine, but I truly didn't eat anything I wasn't a fan of - and that's rare for me, especially at a buffet.

If, after all that curry, you've still got room for dessert, let me tell you their gulab jamun is sensational. It was warm, syrupy, and everything you could dream of. And if you've got room after that, you can opt for one of their cakes, ice-creams, or mousses.

The staff are attentive, happy to give recommendations, and can help you choose the perfect dish depending on your preferred spice level. I can see success in Royal Nawaab's future, and I hope to visit again soon.
