Winner of Exquisite Awards 2025 – Best Indian Restaurant: The Royal Kitchen Signature
In Jakarta, Indian cuisine has evolved from a niche option into a beloved staple, attracting diners with its bold spices and celebratory flavours that resonate beyond cultural boundaries. The Royal Kitchen, a renowned name in authentic Indian dining and now part of the TRK Group, proudly introduces The Royal Kitchen Signature. Located at Agora Mall in the Thamrin Nine area, this prestigious new location marks a key milestone for the brand as it expands to the heart of the city, offering dishes that stay true to tradition while embracing a modern atmosphere.
The Royal Kitchen Signature features a striking two-level design with warm wood accents, soft lighting and graceful archways that frame the dining areas. The façade opens into a contemporary space where Indian culture intersects with modern Jakarta, providing comfort and a sense of occasion. Private dining rooms provide flexibility for family gatherings, business meetings and special occasions.
Guests can begin with papri chaat, a street-style favourite of crisp wafers layered with yoghurt, chutney and spices. Next comes pani puri, delicate shells filled with spiced mint water, designed to be enjoyed in one bite for a burst of flavour. Heartier plates follow with lamb seekh kebab, chicken tikka and lamb chops, each carrying smoky aromas and tender meat enriched with spices. From there, the table expands with signature mains such as butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, both known for their velvety sauces, while lamb rogan josh adds depth through slow cooking. Biryani takes its place among the mains, offering fragrant rice and spices that embody the richness of Indian cuisine.
To conclude the meal, desserts provide a gentle contrast. Rasmalai cools the palate with saffron milk while gulab jamun delivers warmth and sweetness in every bite. Together, these dishes create a comforting and memorable dining experience. With its authentic flavours, elegant design and contemporary approach, The Royal Kitchen Signature is poised to become a new landmark in Jakarta’s dining scene.
