The chef
Hamza Javed, 15 years of craft
Hamza trained in the Punjab before bringing his recipes to El Bierzo. You'll see him hand-knead the naan every afternoon, no shortcuts, no industrial mixes.If you want an Indian chef in Ponferrada who cooks like his grandmother, this is your place. When you order, your dish is made for you, not a frozen batch.The spices
Ground every morning, never bought as powder
Cardamom, cumin and coriander arrive whole. At 11 am Hamza toasts them and works them through the mortar. That's why your home smells when you open the bag.
An Indian curry in Ponferrada made this way is nothing like the ones you've tried. You notice it in the first bite: layers of flavour, not a dry hit of heat.
Us vs Glovo and the rest

Royal Tandoori direct
You pay the menu price. No platform surcharge, no forced tip, no "service fee".
You talk to the restaurant on WhatsApp. Want the curry milder or dairy-free? Say so and we adjust it.
The tandoor timing is matched to your delivery. The naan basket arrives hot and the biryani steaming.

Delivery apps
You add the app's commission, service fee and suggested tip. The same dish ends up noticeably pricier.
The rider makes several stops. Your naan loses the tandoor's heat and the curry arrives lukewarm.
If you want to adjust spice or swap a side, the message passes through three hands and often gets lost.
When you search "food delivery near me" on an app, you choose by photo and promo, not by who cooks.

Frequently asked questions

If you're looking for Ponferrada food delivery minimum prices, we confirm before cooking, with no surprises at payment.

Which parts of El Bierzo do you deliver to?
We deliver to central Ponferrada, Cuatrovientos, Flores del Sil, Compostilla, Fuentesnuevas, Columbrianos and nearby areas.
If you live a bit further out, message us and we'll check whether we can reach your street that day.
Can you adjust the spice to my taste?
Yes. You choose the level: mild, medium or hot. If you love spicy Indian food, ask for it extra hot and Hamza turns up the chillies in the pan.
Do you have dishes for kids?
We have mild, creamy options that go down well at home. For Indian food for kids we recommend butter chicken, korma or cheese naan. No heat, lots of flavour.
Are there gluten-free options on the menu?
Yes. Many curries, basmati rices and tandoori dishes are suitable. If you need gluten-free food, tell us when ordering and we'll mark the safe dishes one by one.
How can I pay for my delivery order?
We accept cash, card to the rider with a card reader, and Bizum. Tell us which you prefer when closing the order on WhatsApp.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We have a wide menu: paneer, dal, chana masala, vegetable samosas and veg curries. We flag the vegan ones when you order so there's no doubt about butter or yoghurt.
Can I track my order or know when it leaves?
We message you on WhatsApp when the dish goes into the tandoor and when the rider sets off to your street. So you know the real time, with no app crashing in between.
Why do you close on Wednesdays and what about holidays?
On Wednesday the team rests and the tandoor gets a deep clean. On El Bierzo festivals and public holidays we usually open, but confirm on WhatsApp the same day in case hours change.
Can I pick up the order at the restaurant myself?
Yes. If you prefer takeaway, we prepare it hot and you pop by C. San Juan Apóstol, 10. We message you when it's ready so you don't wait at the counter.
What do I do if I have food allergies?
Tell us your allergy when ordering (nuts, dairy, gluten, shellfish). Hamza adapts the recipe or points you to a safe dish. Your health comes before any fixed menu.
