“ Just a small joke in the wall owned by a Northern Indian family. The food is phenomenal and I always get the Lamb Korma with rice and naan. My mouth is watering now just thinking about it! The only downside is that it's expensive so we don't get it very often. ”
“ Very good food! The dishes that I ordered were on the spicy side, but that's the way I like them. Excellent service. ”
“ My absolute favorite spot for indian food in the area-- staff is very accommodating and are able to make virtually any vegetarian dish VEGAN!! this is a huge advantage, and all of it is incredibly flavorful and rich. perfect amount of salt too. the owner informed me they would begin serving more mock meats on the menu to expand vegan options. I got the royal soy chap tadka and loved every bite. Pictured: Navratna Korma, Channa Saag, veg makhani, chap tadka, pashwari naan-- all vegan! ”

“ Went to bury the hatchet next door and ended around lunchtime so as hungry axe throwers, we were naturally drawn to the smell of food and curry next door at Royal. I have only had Indian food (at a restaurant) once before and it wasn't the greatest experience, but this time was different. Place was clean and we were welcomed to sit as a table of six. A few other patrons there, but not overwhelmingly busy. Prices for entree dishes ranged from $12-$18 on average, so we all went with the samosas, garlic naan and different versions of curry. I went with the standard chicken curry and tasted a friend's chicken Tikka masala. Both were really good, but if you prefer more of a creamy texture, go with the Tikka. Garlic naan came out hot and fresh, fairly large as well. Overall, great food and experience for lunch and would def re-visit if I'm in in the area. ”
“ It's been a long time since I've eaten at Royal Curry, and I'm happy to report it's still excellent! We started with the Papdi Chaat and it was perfect to get our appetite excited, as it cast a wide spectrum of flavors and textures. It was salty, sweet, and spicy along with being creamy and crunchy. We particularly liked the sweet yogurt sauce. No Indian meal is complete without bread, so we ordered a Tandoori Roti and the interesting sounding Peshwari Naan. Tandoori Roti was good; nicely toasted and with just enough ghee to add flavor. The unique Peshwari Naan was really tasty with chopped cashews, golden raisins, and shredded coconut all studded into the bread. Having both coconut and golden raisins, the Peshwari Naan was more sweet than savory, and the cashews gave a bit of crunch and nutty flavor. It also was baked to a nice crisp toastiness. I decided to go for a vegetarian entree in the Shai Panir Burji. It looked like scrambled eggs but was far beyond that generic dish. The cottage cheese medley with onions, peas, and tomatoes was so richly flavored with spices that each bite was so enjoyable. Both the onions and tomatoes gave a nice tangy contrast to the rich cottage cheese. Note this is a dry spiced dish so it was very easy to use either bread as a vessel to scoop up the Shai Panir Burji. My sister ordered one of her favorites in the Chicken Saag and she remarked it tasted just as scrumptious as she remembered. The Saag blend was earthy and rich. The pieces of chicken were very tender and absorbed so much flavor from the Saag blend. Great to see Royal Curry is maintaining their high quality! ”
