" Royal India is everything you want in Indian cuisine! The lamb vindaloo was spicy and flavorful, and the naan was fluffy and perfect for dipping. I enjoyed the relaxed vibe, making it a fantastic spot for dinner with friends. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Would highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Indian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a delightful dining experience! I loved the vegetarian Indian thali—it had a variety of dishes and I was spoiled for choice. The service was fairly quick, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. I can definitely see myself coming back regularly just for this thali alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a big fan of Indian cuisine, and I must say, Royal India is among the better places I've tried. The palak paneer was delicious, and the naan was delightful! The service could be improved, as there was a wait to be seated even when not crowded. However, it's worth it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I admired the decor and the thoughtfulness of the space. However, I was left underwhelmed by the menu selection. My chicken curry tasted bland, and despite the great reviews, I did not find it authentic! I hope my next visit will be better since I did glimpse potential in the presentation. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful way to enjoy a night out! Every dish we ordered had a unique flavor and spiced just perfectly for our preferences. The simple ambiance was pleasant, and the servers were genuinely nice. I cannot recommend the mango lassi enough—it was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Definitely returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was good but the service was a little slow especially during the busy hours. We had been there on a Friday night, and it took quite some time to place our orders. The chicken curry was nice and spicy, just how I liked it! I appreciate that they accommodated my spice request. The ambiance was cozy, suitable for family gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went for lunch and had a wonderful experience. My friend had the vegetarian thali, and I opted for the chicken biryani. Everything tasted fresh, with lovely spices, but I wanted bigger portions. The atmosphere was vibrant, perfect for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)
