New year eve party bollywood style DJ Dinner and dance party was unforgettable 1/10/2009

I have never been to a party with Indian D J bollywood style in San Diego and my friend told me about Royal India organizing a D J party for New Year so I bought ticket for myself and my wife. Being from India I really wanted to have some Indian style fun and dance. It was a house full party we did not expect so many people for an Indian party. We had dinner the the menu was Samosa, Tandoori Chicken, two salads, Chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, channa masala, Indian noodles , Chilli paneer and desserts during the dinner there was live singing and the the food was delicious but the D J party is going to be in our memories for long time. Almost 150 people on the dance floor from the beginning to end. Few people had brought their American friends and it was great to see them dancing Indian style as well. WOOO we could not stop dancing and the drinks in the bar was awsome. New year eve toast and all the dance is unforgettable night. Thanks you Royal India and wish you a successful 2009. Pros: First time such a great Indian party and it was fantastic Cons: too many people more

What a FANTASTIC meal! Don't miss the Chicken korma or the Eggplant Bengan bhartha With Garlic nan. Best Indian food in San Diego. My only complaint is that we needed bigger stomachs! Go with a group so you can try a little of everything. more

Simply Amazing! 11/5/2008

I have been to many Indian Restaurants around the world, it is absolutely by far my favorite cuisine. In no other cuisine worldwide are so many spices used in various different ways. At Royal India, they seem to know how to combine thousands of spices to make a delicious dish. The Korma Chicken is the one Dish that makes me go back to again and again. Never anywhere else have i tried a Dish like this one. Mmmmmmmm yummy yummy yummy more

Lunch buffet for $12 was a hearty satisfying experience. 10/23/2008

I read the review about Royal India's Indian cuisine in the union tribune today and our company decided to try lunch buffet at Royal India. We loved both the salads, all the chutneys including the mango and yogurt dressing. I loved the samosa with mint chutney and tandoori chicken with tamarind chutney. It was an outstanding experience.\r Talking about curry OH MY GOD I am addicted to Royal India the roasted chicken cooked in creamy tomato curry I believe its Chicken Tikka Masala and palak paneer the spinach item with farmers cheese in it and vegetables in coconut curry with cashew paste is really great and I agree with the review by Margret King the food editor that it is addictive.\r I do not like it spicy but the chicken curry and lamb curry looked very tempting. \r The fresh Nan bread was awesome and I mean it.\r Two Desserts the silky mango and the rice pudding are must try and Royal India is on our list for once a week office lunch. It was a hearty and satisfying experience. \r Pros: Good price, Great Quality more

Beautiful decor and Delicious food 10/22/2008

Beautiful decor and Delicious food plus courteous staff, what more do you want? I love Indian food and Royal India is exceptional! I'd recommend the classic chicken tikka masala and their Kabuli Naan to go with it, heaven in your mouth... And the Mango chutney, simply can't get enough! And the added bonus is that, you can eat outside. I can't wait to go back... Pros: Beautiful decor and Delicious food Cons: Parking sometimes. more

Royal India REALLY DELICIOUS Indian food 8/28/2008

After whole day on the beach in coronado we decided to go to Royal India in the Gaslamp of Down town San Diego. Royal India is a beautiful Indian restaurant. The decor is very elegant. It looks like the designer did fantastic job on it. My kids ordered Mango Pineapple curry served with rice. Myself and John ordered Spicy Lamb Rogan Josh and Wine Garlic Curry with chicken. My kids loved it so much that Julia said Indian food in Chicago does not taste the same this is really good. This is delicious mommy. Its better then pasta. Our lamb Rogan Josh was very flavorful and tender meats and we had it with onion Nan. Chicken Garlic Nan was fantastic we never had that dish in any Indian restaurant before. All I want to say is that My family enjoyed Royal India the most during our stay in Sn Diego. Next time Royal India will be the reason to visit San Diego. IT WAS REALLY DELICIOUS. Only reason I am writing is that I am so happy because my kids finished the whole dish and in Chicago they do not even want to go to Indian restaurants. Fantastic experience and its amazing, the best meal during visit to San Diego was at Royal India. Pros: Fantastic Meal Cons: Parking bit tough but found large parking lot one block away more

My favourite at Royal India is Chilli Ginger Masala, white wine garlic curry, seekh kabab curry, shrimp butter tarka, paneer nan stuffed with farmers cheese and spices.

I must say my dining experience was as good as it can get. A must try restaurant !!!. more
