About Royal Spice Restaurant in Lisbon
We are Royal Spice restaurant – no, not just like any other Indian restaurant in Lisbon. We’ve tasted what other places have to offer in Lisbon, and while they might be fine, we knew we could do better—much better. Our mission is simple: to bring India to Lisbon with a level of quality and flavour that’s unmatched.
Our Story: From India to Lisbon
Royal Spice’s story begins in the heart of India, where our chefs grew up. In households where the meals and the kitchen were basically the whole soul of the house and where recipes passed through generations. It was not just about sustenance, but instead a celebration.
After many years, cooking and mastering the foods of India, our chefs became legends in their hometowns. And they wanted more. They wanted to share their food with more people. And so, in 2018, they moved to Lisbon, to together open up Royal Spice restaurant.
