Pros: Great food, Good Service and Beautiful Decor Cons: Parking on weekdays sometimes but on weekends Valet parking is great more

It is hard to miss this restaurant if you are in down town San Diego in the Gaslamp area. A large patio and very close to Horton plaza mall. My experience say there is only one Royal India if you want the taste of traditional north Indian cuisine. The serivice is exceptional and the ambience is so soothing. I have tasted quiet a few entrees on the menu and must say, they prepare it just the right way. The food has a good balance of Indian spices and not creamy as well. I was there last weekend and learnt the owners are executive chefs as well and their mom help make the recipes, Royal India has family recipes . I just freaked out on Sag Paneer, Baigan Bharta and their Chicken T. Masala's. A must go for all you Indain food lovers. Royal India is one of the best Indian restaurant i have ever eaten all around the world. The food is of GREAT Quality. This is infact the only restaurant I would pick anyday to go to when I need to chill out. The Food is excellent, the service great and the management most cordial.I cant imagine why anyone would not like Royal India. We went over almost after they almost closed once and the management opened the doors for us even though it was quite late.I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food at reasonable prices. All my friends too prefer this place. Pros: Very good Indian restaurant more

OH MY GOD!!! comming from England and finding Royal India place was a dream come true, believe me I know Indian food comming from the "Balti Belt" There are plenty of "Indian" restaurants in San Diego but please know Royal India is the most authentic you will possibly get! The portions are superb, the Executive Chefs and owners, I beleive there names are Sam and Jag, are without a doubt the most personable and helpful chefs I have ever encountered! They guided us through the extensive menu with such flair and grace. They actually seemed to know our tastes and needs just from speaking to us for no more than 10 mins, I know the food but my guests had never had Indian food before. To say they were impressed would be an understatment! FIRST RATE!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: Personal Touch and service more

No jokes! Royal India restaurant is the best around here when it comes to indian cuisine I know because I have eaten in all of them. If you talk only about food, gosh it taste really good. but too bad this isn't only about food the atmosphere is great, it is large restaurant with three halls so you don't find yourself in the middle of the noise. the decoration are just gorgeous, the price is good also, and most of all the service is really great. the waiter will be always nice, at your service and ready to give you some advice. To make it short a good place to go with your friends, or girlfriend if you want to enjoy the taste of THE INDIAN FOOD! Pros: We love it, Three cheers for Royal India hip hip hurrey ... .... .... ..... .... .....! Cons: Not at Royal so far more

Royal India is by far the best Indian restaurant around in San Diego Gaslamp .

In june Physer had set up a meeting at Royal India the the physicians n San Diego and there were about 138 of us. The valet parking was right in front of the restaurant and myself and my wife went to attend the meeting. Royal India at 329 Market street is a huge restaurant with large waterfall and three banquet halls. The best part is service and food. There were about 10 staff members serving the appetizers in trays and chutneys in the middle. We tried Fish pakora and Little samosas and full bar was available including gold and blue lable scotch, Jack and coke and vodka drinks it was superb. After snacks we had a presentation by physer and Royal India has state of the art projectors, wireless audio and screens and best part is it is quite open restaurant almost 200 seater and large patios. After the lecture Indian royalty was server and truly a real Indian food with lots of flavor, Fresh nans were awsome. We had Rus Malai as dessert. On the whole it was the best venue Physer has picked for Physicians so far. We requested Royal India for next meeting by physer abd are going to be in Royal India in down town on July 27th again. Love Royal India. more

I am delighted to have found Royal India during our show in San Diego! The food is exquisite, the staff is very affable, and the ambience is perfect for romance. It's not over crowded and there is a comfortable amount of lighting. I was very pleased with this restaurant.

Very comfortable seating and tables looked beautiful with fresh flowers in the middle of every table with a beautiful candle on everytable. Royal India has large variety of Vegetarian, seafood, Chicken and Lamb curries and kababs and really good drinks that compliment Indian food. We ordered different items so we all could share. The items we ordered were Chicken lettuce wrap and Veggi samosas for appetizers and Indian Mojitos and Mango Lassi as drinks and the appetizers were mind blowing and drinks perfect. for main course we ordered 2 dishes each of Bengan Bharta an eggplant dish, Lobster korma, Lamb Rogan josh, Chicken Garlic Kabab, Tandoori Shrimps, lamb biryani a rice speciality with bread basket the real opinion coming out of all of us is fantastic.

If you like good Indian food and are with a great company then take my personal advise to go to Royal India in the Gaslamp on 4th and market. My personal experience at Royal India was superb and unforgettable. I met Sony during her visit from UK to San Diego who is here for an internship in Nephrology in UCSD. During our Lunch on in UCSD lunch was delivered by Royal India and Sony loved the food so I wanted to surprise her by taking her to Royal India's fine dinning. Upon arriving we valet our parking right in front of the restaurant and walked inside. We were amazed at the decor. On the left side there is large waterfall with Indian Brass large statues sitting inside beautiful stone work and then there is a large wall that has arch shape and very beautiful stone work done on it we landed in the lounge room that has a beautiful hand carved wooden bar and right side of the restaurant has very unique and beautiful stonework wall. On the whole it is very elegantly designed restaurant which you do not get to see often. We ordered Mango Soup and chicken lettuce wrap as starters and for main course we had Karahi Chicken and Lamb kabab with Garlic nan and basmati rice came with it. Mango soup was really delicious with cumin and corriander taste in it and Lettuce wrap was made with chicken tikka kabab sliced and sauted with curry and served on top of lettuce leaves. Our main course Karahi chicken was flavourful tender chicken cooked with bell peppers and sliced onions and tomatoes and Lamb Kabab marinated in yogurt and spices just melts in your mouth it was awsome and Garlic Nan bread was just lip smacking. On the whole it was the greatest Indian meal we have had. Sony said the food was even better then Indian food in UK and for ambience Royal India is the best Indian restaurant she has ever been to. We look forward to going back to Royal Indian again. Pros: Beautiful ambience, peaceful atmosphere and lot of artistic collections to look around while you are dinning. Cons: I can not go to Royal India every day. But I wish I could. more

We parked on 2nd avenue parking lot which is just two blocks and walking distance from Royal India and paid $5 parking fee.
