After reading the negative reviews on this site, my husband and I tried the Royal Garden with low expectations. We came for lunch on a Sunday, and there was not one patron in the restaurant. The one employee on duty literally jumped when we approached her because she seemed not to expect any customers to come in at all. We were allowed to sit at whatever table we wished. We chose a table located between a well with a bucket and a cage housing some monstrous decorative white doves. We ordered the gyro plate and the falafel plate, our standard faves. While we waited for our food, we marvelled at all the awesome birds that were hanging out: a cute tiny bird with a beautiful whistle, some cockatiels, and a couple others. We received our food, and it was much better than we expected. Not exquisite, but fine enough for the price. The salad that comes with the meal is large and fresh and the tatziki was a nice complement. While we were eating, a large white rabbit bounded up to our feet to say hi, and a rainbow colored pheasant walked up and did the same. I felt like I was in an old Disney movie. Should I sing them a song?
Pros: Garden Setting, Enchanting Atmosphere
Cons: Plastic tables and chairs, not good for those who hate sitting outdoors
