Royal Cottage

Royal Cottage on Maxwellton Avenue has traded under several names over the years — the TripAdvisor listing records its previous life as China Cottage — serving the Calderwood residential area with a Chinese takeaway menu. The kitchen offers the standard Cantonese-British range: fried rice dishes in multiple proteins, sweet and sour pork in sauce and batter versions, beef in black bean, crispy spring rolls, a full noodle section and duck dishes, with opening hours running into the late evening daily. Reviews are mixed in their enthusiasm but broadly positive in their overall verdict — the majority of returning customers value the convenience and familiarity of an address they know rather than making a longer drive for a more rated alternative. A local audience of Calderwood residents sustains the trade across the week without fanfare. The Maxwellton Avenue location places it conveniently alongside Spice of Life, creating a small two-takeaway cluster at this end of Calderwood's residential spine that between them cover the Indian and Chinese bases for the surrounding streets.
