" I've been coming to Royal India Bistro for years and they never disappoint! The staff knows my order and always greet me with a warm smile. The lamb curry is my favorite—spicy and aromatic. The seating is limited, but it’s always a nice experience here. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful little restaurant! We ordered the paneer tikka and the shrimp scampi. Both were exquisite and packed with authentic Indian spices. The staff was also incredibly welcoming. The portion sizes were generous, especially for the price we paid. This is definitely a must-try for anyone in Lexington. I can’t wait to return with my family! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a huge fan of Indian cuisine, and I have to say that Royal India Bistro maintains a high standard. The chicken tikka masala was superb, both flavorful and well-cooked. I might suggest they work on their service speed, as it was a bit slow on a busy night. The cozy setting is perfect for enjoying a good meal, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my meal but it didn't live up to the expectations I had based on prior reviews. The mixed vegetable curry was good, but a bit bland. The naan, however, was soft and delightful! The atmosphere was calm and welcoming which I appreciated. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Royal India Bistro last night and was blown away by the flavors! The lamb korma was rich and perfectly spiced, accompanied by fluffy garlic naan. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for a date night. The staff were attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*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*)
