beautiful palace like atmosphere 4/30/2008

The Tandoori chicken and Onion Bhaji were great and the fresh Nan served on the table was a highlight. The Curry was authentic which makes the taste and quality really good. Royal India has a beautiful palace like atmosphere and the prices are modest. more

Great Tasting And Good Quality Buffet. 4/24/2008

I along with few of few of my colleges went to Royal India for a lunch meeting. We really enjoyed the fresh tasting great food. The Buffet was not as vast as in Indian restaurants in other cities but it was still better than all the Indian buffets I have been to in Downtown area. We really liked their Tandoori chicken and Onion Bhaji and the fresh Nan served on the table was the highlight of the buffet. I am not big on deserts but my friends really liked the Shahi Mango. On the whole, we all were really impressed with the quality of the buffet at Royal India. Pros: Good Quality Food. more

Service was beyond prompt and extremely professional 4/18/2008

My husband and I just had dinner at Royal India tonight for the first time. The service was beyond prompt and extremely professional. As soon as we got the Papadum, I knew we were in for a treat. It was crisp and freshly-baked right there in the restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly our food arrived! Let me highly recommend the Lamb Korma with a Paneer Nan. The meat is so incredibly tender and sauce is delicious . Every bite melts in your mouth. My husband ordered it and I ate nearly half of his! I had the Lobster Tikka Masala with a garlic Nan and it was also divine. The Kheer(Rice Pudding) for dessert was delicious. Our waiter checked on us often and refilled our glasses frequently. What a great dining experience, we'll definitely be going back...soon. more

Over all bad food and when try to talk with manager, he try to convince that thaat is the way it should look. I will not recommend any one . Worst then Road side Dabba in India. Bad name bad work bad food and bad reputation to royal taste of India. They should think listen and improve the quality. Thanks more

Finally there is a good Indian restaurant in San Diego 4/6/2008

I have been in San Diego for three years and moved from San Francisco. In last three years I tried Indian food in almost every Indian restaurant in San Diego from Mira Mesa to Down Town San Diego because I love Indian food and I am really picky about my curry but could not get good curry with real flavor and taste in San Diego. Last week I saw one Indian restaurant featured in Union Tribune so I went to try Royal India Exquisite Indian Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge in down town San Diego at 329 Market Street, San Diego, CA 92101 www.royalindia.com. I can say finally found a good Indian restaurant in San Diego. An excellent ambiance gave a picture of palaces of India. Very beautiful arches with some kind of Mosaic stone work on it. Very beautiful hand carved wooden full bar. Beautiful stone work with niches in it, Large Water fall and huge chandlers. Over all number one and the best Indian restaurant I have ever seen and I have been to one of the Best Indian restaurants from East coas more

The best Gas lamp district has to offer! 3/25/2008

The best Gas lamp district has to offer! I am a what you would call a "regular" at Royal India. There are a bunch Items in their menu, so getting tired of the food is never a problem, and something is always going on which makes it exciting. I went to a Scotch tasting and had a great time.Great drink list and the staff is very warm and welcoming. It's at the top of my list of things to do when friends and family come to visit. Pros: Great food and good menu selection!! Cons: None so far more

Worst Indian Buffet in San Diego 3/15/2008

Not authentic, Food is very bland. The decor is nice, but the food is not. I would not recommend it to people who know exactly what Indian food tastes like. Tandoori chicken was probably old and was very dry. We went there based on the reviews but according to all of us, it might be rated so high by non-Indians who are not familiar with Indian taste. Pros: Ambience Cons: Food more
