    Always great food. We have bought our friends here a few times and they also love it. Would never hesitate to recommend this fine restaurant to anyone.

    First time trying Indian food here turned out to be delicious especially mango pudding chicken curry and the cauliflower vegetables had a good taste. Place is clean and the server's nice

    I have a looong history with this location. Years ago, we found Royal Rasoi and loved, loved their beautifully layered sauces. Then the staff had a falling out, and whoever won control must've lost the recipes cuz the food was banal. Every six months or so I'd stop by to see if anything changed, and then...Royal India showed up. Naturally, I hoped against hope they could somehow replace what we'd had before--which they did, and possibly even better! The sauces are nuanced and balanced: my wife says her teeth start trembling when she smells her chicken tikka masala. The mgmt. and staff are warm, attentive, and caring. We LOVE this place!

    Pass by this restaurant many times on i5 ElToro junction. Decided to stop by for lunch. I had the buffet because I wanted to try a bit of everything. It was delicious. Really enjoyed the flavours. The buffet even comes with freshly made garlic naan. What a surprise. I am from Singapore, so I miss the tastes of Asia and Indian cuisine. Before leaving I ordered Lamb Bryiani and Masalla dosa to go for my daughter. I shall return. Even the Masalla tea is refillable. I highly recommend this place.
