" My experience was quite mixed. While the food quality was fine, I felt like the service staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. We had to wait a while for our food to arrive, and that was frustrating. The food tasted decent but didn't really wow me. Perhaps I’ll give it another shot in the future but not eager to return too soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just left Royal India Bistro, and I am already planning my next visit! The food is packed with authentic spices that truly shine. The staff is some of the friendliest I've encountered. I loved the atmosphere—perfect for cozy dinners. Portions are good too, especially for the price! " (*Curated Review*)

" Royal India Bistro has become my go-to place for Indian food! Every dish I try is bursting with flavor, and the staff always makes me feel welcome. Hands down, the best garlic naan. The atmosphere is lively, and I love bringing friends here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Royal India Bistro offers an authentic experience that leaves you craving more. I recommend the shrimp biryani—it was a highlight for sure! The staff was prompt, and the ambience made our meal feel special. I definitely plan to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, I did not enjoy my visit as much as I hoped. The food lacked flavor compared to other places I’ve been. The ambience was pleasant, but the service felt rushed and inattentive. Not sure if I would return, as I was left disappointed. I wish it was a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited on a Saturday night and let me tell you, it was packed! The food was outstanding though, so it was worth the hype. We had a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes and all of them had authentic flavors. The service was a bit rushed because of the crowd, but our server was friendly and made good recommendations. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was good, it didn’t feel very authentic to me. The tikka masala was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the paneer in my dish could have been more flavorful. The atmosphere was cozy but quite crowded, which made it a bit noisy. I wouldn’t rule out trying something different here in the future though. " (*Curated Review*)
