Royal Hyderabad

Sorry no pics again! Hungry talking people having monthly nosh! It's a new year, so let's start with new reviews!!First showed up as was escorted promptly to our table. The waitress/hostess was super attentive and courteous. I ordered the butter chicken was TO DIE FOR! Some the best I've ever had with a lovely bowl of basmati rice. Hubby and I split the palak panel and 2 order of butter naan. The naan was crisp and so well flavored, I usually get a garlic naan, but was not disappointed you should try it to! The palak paneer is like saag paneer but I felt had a deeper taste, a wonderful dish.My friends niece, who is a wee bit "picky" but got the tandoori chicken and as it hit the table steaming, it kind of intimidated her. But she scarfed it down it was a famous ly favorite! My dining adventure partner had chicken tikka Marsala. She was over the moon and said it was again some of the best we've tasted. The lighting is not bright of dim with authentic Indian music playing quietly so it was a nice place to not just eat, but have a conversation and enjoy some FANTASTIC tasty Indian fare. I would gamble to say some the best in Albuquerque.Thank you Royal Hyderabad to your wait staff, chefs, and all the people behind the scenes

We ordered carry out and the sauce for the malai kofta was way way too salty and inedible. It wasn't even a little salty, like when you reduce a sauce, it was like a salt shaker was swimming in it. Everything else was fine. I called to let them know, and after 3 conversations they said the sauce was fine to them. I was "wrong". They decided they were not going to credit me that dish, even after I had spent $120 + big tip for the entire order. I put the malai kofta in the fridge and the next day added an entire can of coconut milk to see if that would help. It didn't help in the slightest. Wasted entree , wasted coconut milk, wasted money. We will not be returning.

Went here with my family for a special occasion dinner...my birthday. I love Indian food and I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. I'm glad we chose it and it is now my favorite Indian cuisine restaurant in town.I ordered the Chicken Tikka Kababs which were served on a hot skillet of sizzling onions, with a lime section, green chutney, seasoned yogurt and side of rice. So good! The garlic naan arrived hot to the touch, just right. I dipped a piece into the sauce of the Chicken Tikka Masala across the table from me and it was delicious. Also got to sample the Spring Dosa which I'd never tried and I loved it. The Dal Tadka was also good but even at a mild level, it was a bit spicy for me. I'll try a different type of dal next time. The ambience was pleasant and the server was quietly attentive.A special thing that happen was at the end of the meal, just before walking out. I didn't say anything to the staff about it being my birthday until we were getting ready to leave. Then I told the woman who seated us that it had turned out to be a great choice for my birthday dinner. As were were about to walk out the door, she handed me a mango smoothie to take with me as a birthday treat. That was so kind of her!I will definitely be back for so many reasons!

YES! YES! YES!How can we get so many flavors into one dish? They know what they are doing!Dosa that is as big as the table - yep, I love Dosa. I ordered the cheese dosa. It came out with 3 dips that had enough spice to let you know it was there, but not enough to make you uncomfortable! I ate about 75% there and took the rest home which still traveled well!Chicken Lollypops were next and YES please! They came with little aluminum foil booties, which made eating these a bit easier! These had so much pop of flavor!Since I wanted to try it all, I did get some Hakka noodles to go. I did like these, but I didn't find the flavor what I wanted. That's okay, I'll try something different next time!

Overall: Royal Hyderabad is so good that I went there twice in 1 week. It's more of a 4.5 because the dishes that are good are GOOD but some specific dishes aren't good.Food: 4In terms of spice level, the medium was tolerable for a spice wimp like me.Gobi Manchurian: This is a sweet and sour deep fried cauliflower. It comes out super crispy and coated in a flavorful sauce.Dosa: We've gotten multiple different ones and they were all good! My favorite is the masala dosa.Butter Chicken: Although it's super basic, I always order this because this is the BEST butter chicken that I've ever had.Other great dishes that I would recommend: Gutti Vankaya (eggplant cooked in a peanut curry), chicken tikka masala, and palak paneerThe only dishes that I would not recommend are the cashew based curries like the mughlai and korma. They are always too salty when I get them.Service: 5The servers are always very polite and friendly. They're patient when we ask questions or order more.Ambiance: 5The restaurant has booths and normal tables. It's well lit and clean. The only downside is the parking lot has trees that aren't well trimmed so can scratch your car.

We were looking for some nearby Indian and decided we'd give this place a try. I got the palak paneer, the garlic naan, and a chai. This has been a few different restaurants over the years and I was glad to see the new place had updated the decor. The food was quite good though the service was a bit on the slow side. I wasn't aware that the chai did not come with refills and they didn't tell me when I asked for more. So I was a bit surprised when I saw the bill. So just a bit of caution on the drinks, I'm not sure what the policy is on any other beverages. The portions are a bit smaller than other restaurants in town and it was a bit light on the rice for the number of people we had in the party. All in all though it was good so definitely worth a try.

Great food, authentic Indian cuisine with Hyderabadi style dishes mixed with the usual assortment of Indian dishes. Their grill items were on the weaker side but everything else was fantastic, especially their indo-Chinese dishes. The restaurant was clean overall and had a comfy vibe. Service was good overall. This is probably the best Indian option in the city. All meat is also halal.

Father's Day, 2024. Lunch.Located on Comanche and Juan Tabo, this restaurant is right by the O'Niells pub. They greeted us and sat us quickly. Unfortunately, the service slowed down considerably after that. It took about 15 minutes to take our order. This was my wife's first time trying Indian food. I wanted her to enjoy the experience. The waiter asked if she wanted it spicy. So she ordered it spicy. She ordered the Amaravati goat curry ($19.99), which came with Tender goat with spicy Indian spices made with a Royal spicy sauce and hint of coconut. I ordered the fish biryani ($19.99). This was listed as a layered, multi-colored rice dish made with fish, basmati rice, spices and herbs. I ordered mine hot as well. Mine came with the hot, spicy sauce in a separate dish as well as some white yogurt sauce. My fish had been fried and although there were a lot of pieces buried beneath the colorful rice, they were on the dry side. My wife's dish tasted like it had scorpion peppers in it. She only ate a little. This could have all been avoided by a fair warning from our waiter. If he told us how truly hot these dishes were. She liked my dish better because I could control the amount of hot sauce I added. This would have been a much more enjoyable lunch. As it was, my wife had a literal bad taste in her mouth on her first try at Indian food. I'm hopeful she will want to try it again at some point.

Amazing service. Very friendly staff. Food is to die for here. Seriously the best samosas in town hands down. Everything we had was fantastic and so flavorful. We will definitely be back.
