ROYAL INDIA, San Diego

“Seems like the real deal for good Indian food” Ate here last night and it was very good - their tandoori stuff come on sizzling platter WOW Thats cool, really cool. Nice selections of curries and - the best tasting Nan I have ever had. Everyone spoke of Royal India for Indian food at my work. Had a chicken garlic kabab which was obviously freshly made. Very nice hostess and waiters - great people. Would recommend this to everyoneone.

Royal India catered wedding at La Costa resort. The appetizers, food and desserts were very delicious and very professional service. Royal India my top choice for Indian food now.

Lunch buffet quality has gone down and the price has been increased in the last year I visited Royal India. My entire family was not happy with the flavor and taste of food. I would not go there again. Service was slow. Only one dessert item in lunch buffet compared to a year ago.

I'm a pretty big fan of indian food. So I've eaten at a number of different places over the years. This place was so-so for food. The decor was good. The gobi aloo was mushy and the naan was a little stale. The tandoori was great. The waitress was a little snotty when I told her the naan tasted stale. That made the review only 3 stars.

Royal India is great . . . authentic Indian cuisine, with some innovative twists to keep it interesting. Their butter chicken rivals anything I had while growing up in India, and the lamb shank is on my list of "dishes I'd take with me on a desert island". And don't miss the kheer (rice pudding) for dessert, which is superb. The luncheon buffet is excellent, but I'd recommend it as well for a perfect evening meal venue. Atmosphere is also a draw: striking decor and a very nice bar with interesting offerings. Great service to boot. . Highly recommend.

If you want authentic, delicious Indian food in San Diego and want great ambiance ..then Royal India is the place to be. The food is amazing! Last time we were here, my husband had the Shrimp Vindaloo, which was good. I had the Chicken Saag and I loved it. I'd also recommend the Chicken Biriani or the Lamb Saag. The Naan Bread that comes with your meal, if you order the full dinner, is also excellent. As for drinks, I I loved Indian Mojito and Mango martini. The best Majito I ever had. The times we've been here the service has been good, very friendly and attentive. We've only been for dinner, but would like to check out their lunch buffet some time.

I did not think I liked Indian food until I visited Royal India. I love it. I eat lunch here 2 or 3 times every week.

I come to San Diego about twice a year and enjoy the gaslamp district greatly. I was especially excited this year about coming to Royal India for dinner with a select group of friends. I made a reservation nearly a week in advance this year to make sure that I could easily get a table for four since I was coming during a large convention. I can't say enough about the low quality of service I received. We were rushed to order, rushed to eat, and then whenever we actually needed someone who was part of the staff, we received no attention. In addition, two members of my party were african american and the attitude of the waiter was disgraceful towards my friends. I am very sorry to say I will never return.

San Diego Magazine's 2010 results are out and Royal India was voted as the best Indian restaurant in San Diego for 2010.Royal India has very authentic food and mesmerizng aromas and magnificent ambiance.A must try.

My friends gave us Royal India gift certificates on our anniversary and I made online reservtion and mentioned anniversary special.We were promptly seated and the Server arrived immediately and brought champagne on the house ( that was a nice start ). Vegetable samosa were crispy and flavorful with mint chutney. We had Chicken garlic kabab , chicken tikka masala, garlic nan. AWESOME Royal India is our favorite Indian resaurant in San Diego now.
