ROYAL FUSION - Bronx, New York

Dana O’neil

My fiancé and I had an amazing experience at Royal Fusion! Despite a brief wait our waitress Khrissi, was so welcoming and reassured us that she’d take care of us right away. She took the time to walk us through the menu explaining all the delicious specials the restaurant had to offer. We originally considered the brunch special (which included an appetizer, entrée, and 2-hour unlimited mimosas, Bellinis, sangria, and Bloody Marys for just $45!), but we ended up opting for the dinner menu instead.

I ordered the lamb chops with peas and rice and a side salad, while my fiancé went for the Rasta pasta with chicken and shrimp. We also added some mouth-watering suya chicken to our meal. Everything was absolutely delicious and the drinks were on point. I had the Bob Marley cocktail and my fiancé went for a piña colada on the rocks.

The vibe at Royal Fusion was fantastic with the energy boosted by DJ Nytemare’s amazing tunes. The owner was so sweet and accommodating and we even chatted about hosting our special event there in the future! Overall we had a time and can’t wait to visit again!

Walked in not expecting to see what I saw. Sexy ambiance and luxurious bathroom. It’s very pretty in here. Who ever came up with the design did an amazing job. Great vibes, great food. Drinks are amazing and Dawn is the best!’ So friendly and very warm and accommodating. I will definitely come back and look forward to everything they have to offer in the future. You will not be disappointed with your visit.

Placed an order through ubereats. The mac and cheese came in an aluminum tin COLD. it was literally frozen noodles that i had to heat up myself. I opened up the rasta pasta and it had a LONG BLACK HAIR in it. How disgusting and unsanitary is it. People that are cooking should have their hair tied up. I called the restaurant to speak to a manager and they told me no one was available. Just disgusting I would never order from here again in my life.

I was at the grand opening, it was awesome. The Ambiance, the music and the atmosphere was just right for me. I ordered suya chicken wings and pepper soup which came out nice for me. The vibe the DJ was giving, Afro beat and I also like the fact that u not only there to eat but you can also dance and take some nice pics at the photo stands. The service was a bit slow but maybe because there were a lot of people. I will definitely be going back with my girls to feel that live DJ again ?

New place has potential, but they got a lot of work to do. Less focus on Satin napkins and more for us on food and service. We will try them again. Hopefully, this is just because they are new.
Steak skewers , overcooked and overpriced for 2 skewers.
Pineapple fried rice was good.
I ordered the steak, and it came cut up and obviously not from the same cut of meat.
Bartender / waitress/ bus person shecwas pleasant and was trying especially because there were no menus available.

I went with a group of seven. Got there it was cute. We were excited because staff was super friendly when we got there. Then we put in orders for appetizers. They took a little long but we didn’t mind the music was good. The drinks came out…they looked sad. Just life less liquid in a glass with no ice and a half dry half fresh lemon (watermelon smash). I said it’s okay I’ll thug it out. We order food and this is where it gets bad. The restaurant starts picking up and more people come in. We got there at 9:30 and it started get crowned around 11. We waited and waited for our food, then they bring out three plates of food. (We were a table of seven) Two were completely wrong. Giving pork to a Muslim after him and waiter agreed that it would be chicken multiple times. The waiter also had her fingers in the plates when she brought them out! No one wants that finger food. After they took back the two wrong plates they never came back with the rest of the tables food. I would never recommend this place for someone at all. One of the owners was rushing us to give up the table and we didn’t even receive our food. He was very rude and very pushy. Overall, I do not recommend and will not be returning.

This was the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had in my life! I made a reservation to this restaurant on 2/29/24 for my birthday with my family, a party size of 9. The decor was nice. Upon arrival, we found out that they do not have a liquor license. That was the first issue. They never informed me via email or telephone when I spoke to a staff member of this issue. The second issue is that I had a reservation and the young lady had no idea of my reservation and the tables were not set up. The third issue was that they only had limited food selections, despite having a good variety of food on the menu. I was extremely upset about this because I only eat fish and it was not available to me. The same young lady was the hostess, waitress, and bartender. No manager was on site. No other employees were there. It took her at least 45 minutes to make our drinks. Mind you, we were the only ones in the restaurant. The drinks were absolutely horrible and she forgot to make my brother’s drink, which he then no longer wanted. As for the food, a total disappointment! My mom and I got fried rice. My mom was supposed to have it with shrimp. It never came out. The food wasn’t even hot. As for the rasta pasta, a complete joke! The pasta came out BLACK! They literally cooked the pasta and tossed it in jerk sauce, SMH! When that pasta came out, it was the last straw for us! Mind you, it was cold! At this point, we had already waited over an hour to get our food and my entire party still had not received their food. This experience was disastrous and it was not a good feeling to endure all of this on my birthday! We definitely left abruptly and unsatisfied! I would not dine here again!

So I'm going to say it! We have to stop listening to the IG and tiktok girlies because everytime I see them post a new place especially a black owned establishment me and my friends want to go and support and it NEVERRR works out in our favor! (I'm thinking they get special treatment).... Now I will say this, the waiter was a young guy who probably just started there because when we asked something he had to go and ask or clarify with someone else but he was superrrr nice and gave great customer service meaning he did check in with us.

Now we had a 6pm reservation for a party of 4. It was not busy in there. There were two bigger groups (maybe 6 and maybe 10) who were in there and eating or waiting for their food as we arrived and a group of four came after us. We shut the restaurant down .. that's how long it took for us to get our food! Almost two hours waiting for food and we all had the same thing! Thankfully we had snacks that we opened and we ate that! (We left there at 9:15pm)

We all ordered the same thing, everyone in the group had the jollof pineapple rice, two had it with salmon and two had it with red snapper. (Thank goodness they had TV in there to keep me occupied) so we of course had seen the IG page that the food is supposed to come in the pineapple bowl so when they bring it to us on a plate no pineapple we were confused then one friend got pineapple rice with no pineapple in it but they did offer to bring her a side of pineapple so she could mix it in her rice (whattt). However someone came out and took the plate back and remade it so while we waited to entertain ourselves we took pictures. While we waited and took pictures an employee came in with a pineapple like why not just say you were out of pineapples and we would understand. They gave us a free sample drink she called it which was okay. Speaking of drinks don't expect to go there for liquor because they don't have it! They have wine and Prosecco and they make sangria and have virgin coladas but they were out of that and out of empanadas.

Oh they did have a DJ and he payed good music so that was a plus.

The chicken wings were good but some had feathers on them. The Calamri we had was very fishy smelling, the jollof rice was their version of it and it was okay but nothing to write home and come back for. Overall, we weren't thrilled or satisfied and we understand it's a rather new establishment but better communication and even someone like the manager coming to check in on us would have been nice and that never happened.

So if you want to take pictures of pretty food and hear a dj then this is your place!
