Highest rated Indian for SLCmetro on this site for a reason! 9/22/2011

Don't be fooled by a bad review - this is delicious, quality, homemade indian food. The atmosphere could be better but I've seen much worse in UT. I've been there so many times I'm practically on a first name basis and the service has always great (and fast!). It's a bit of a hidden gem so it's not always crowded. The chicken tiki masala, lamb vindaloo and mango cake with mango Ice cream keep me coming back for more! more

Lousy Food, lousier people 5/21/2011

It looks like a dingy from outside and it well is one. The dishes served here are just ok and there is nothing Indian to it. I have been to lot of Indian places and this place is bad. The people here are worse and you might have to yell or break a glass to get anybody attention. more

Wonderful food, great service 12/14/2009

Love this place! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but Royal India serves up some of the best Indian food I've eaten. The Lamb Saag and Channa Masala are special favorites. Pros: Excellent food more

Food that's only outclassed by the amazing service 1/24/2009

Bit of a wait to be seated on Saturday night, but I can see why. Food and service are excellent. The waiters use more of a zone defense as opposed to the usual man to man, so you'll have a series of gentleman stopping by the table to make sure everything is ok. I appreciated the carafe of water, as I drink a lot with my meal. Food was delivered lightning fast. Everything was hot. We asked for an extra soup spoon, and they dropped off an extra bowl of soup--no charge. Everyone was cheerful and friendly. Portions are large. Flavors will linger well after your meal. Pros: Food, Service, Variety Cons: Not in my neighborhood :( more

Great place for Indian food! 12/29/2008

Great service and great food. The wait to get a table was 20 minutes, but it was a weekend evening so of course it was busy. Once we sat down the service was prompt and our appetizers were out in no time. Loved the food and loved the service. Pros: Service more

Incredible service, delicious and nutricious Indian food, great vegetarian options, and at a very reasonable price 11/8/2008

If you want to try something different, delicious, and at a very reasonable price, this is one of the best kept secrets in Salt Lake County. If you live in the Avenues or Downtown, I really think you will be very happy with a short drive to Sandy. Pros: Delicious and exotic food, INCREDIBLE service, and at a very reasonable price Cons: It's located in a strip mall, but don't be fooled...this restaurant is worth it! more

Best Indian Restaurant in Utah. 7/3/2008

In England, where I grew up, Indian restaurants are only slightly less in abundance than fish-and-chip shops, so I have loved it almost from birth. Having eaten Indian food in most large US cities, and many countries around the world, I have to say that Royal India is one of my all-time favorites. From the outside it is a most unlikely candidate for fine eating?it?s in a small strip-mall in Sandy with an unassuming frontage?but once you are inside you are immediately struck by four things: the aroma, the ambience, the friendly staff and the fact that it?s nearly always crowded. (On Friday or Saturday prepare for a wait). Everything is delicious, a total flavour shock. If you are new to Indian food and afraid of spicy, ask for it mild or medium. Try the Palak Soup, the mixed appetizers, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Saag, Garlic Naan, Chutneys and Pickles and you wont be disappointed. The rice itself is so delicious, it could be a meal on its own. Yes, it may be a long drive for some, but believe me, its the best in Utah, if not the US. Pros: Great ambience and super staff more

Exceptional Indian Cuisine! 9/10/2007

Before I tried Royal India I was under the impression that the poor service I had received at other Indian restaurants in the valley was ""normal"". Now I tell everyone I'm spoiled. The other restaurants in the valley pale in comparison to Royal India. The service there is wonderful! Everyone is very friendly and they never make you feel rushed. Lovely atmosphere. Pros: Food, Service, Ambience, Parking Cons: Location more

Most impressive 5/31/2006

Top tandoori in the state with a range of whole Indian cuisine no other restaurant offers. Best biriyani. Garlic naan is excellent Lamb saag isn't much to look at but the complex flavors knock your socks off and curl your toes in pleasure. Pros: Top notch flavors Cons: a bit out of the way more

Great Indian Food 10/28/2005

We ordered several different dishes, chicken kourma, chicken tikka, shrimp vindaloo and much more and it was all wonderful. The only thing I was not crazy about was the raitha, I've had much better. Pros: great food, fast service Cons: atmosphere more

Favorite for Indian 2/19/2005

The Lamb Coconut Korma and the Peshwari Naan are fabulous. This is a great place to bring friends. Service has always been top notch and the quality of the food is consisitent. Although it is quick enough to stop here before a movie, I like to come when I have time to relax and talk. I never feel rushed here. Pros: food, service, price more

best Indian 9/24/2004

This is by far the best Indian resturant I have ever been to. I've been to many Indian resturants in Salt Lake and in other states and this is my favorite of them all. They are also very vegan friendly. The food there is fabulous and so is the service. Pros: excellent food, good service more

Great Indian Food 3/6/2003

The food at Royal India is excellent. The flavorful Saags and Kurmas are a favorite of my wife and I. The soups are very tastey and the appetizers also make a great start. And, if you save enough room for desert, the home made ice creams are wonderful! Pros: Excellent Food, Great Service, Excellent Food more

For first timers ! 9/27/2002

I am not very enthusiastic about trying new cuisines. But, fortunately or unfortunately my girl friend is. So, last friday when she said she wanted to go to Royal India, I was not very interested. We told them that it was our first time & they took so much patience and explained all the dishes to us. To the top of it all, I loved the food. Good place to go. I highly recommend it !! Pros: Service, Service, Service more
