Very good service, food is good and spice level is consistent as we have tried it more than once. The lamb is flavorful. The chicken was delicious. Only rating it one less star because I feel like the portion of meat to sauce could be better. Prices decent but wish the portion had more meat. But overall great experience with friendly service. This will be added to our rotation definitely!

We were recommended this place by locals and wow were we impressed. We ordered lamb kabobs and chicken tandoori - delicious! Tender and marinated so good. Ended up just having that as main course. We did order papdi chaat, kadi, and chole bhature. All were great! The waitstaff were so friendly too. Very clean environment too. Highly recommended!

Freshest naan! Thin and cooked to perfection. Lamb korma is also excellent. Perfect texture. Lots of meat. All for a very reasonable price especially since the naan comes with the curry at no extra charge. Environment is clean and spacious. Service is quick and friendly. Would definitely return.

Food was amazing. Chicken tikka so good, naan fresh. Little in the way of ambiance and lights way too bright. Kind of kill whatever vibe they might have had. Server brought out wrong dish which was returned to lots of screaming in the kitchen. Leftovers were even better the next day. Carry out or wear sunglasses and enjoy!

So, choosing an Indian restaurant in Troy can be an overwhelming task. So many options. Well, if you're reading this review, stop searching and go to Royal India.The entrees are always fresh and delicious. Their curries are nice and hearty, not watery or greasy as you may find elsewhere. They are also loaded with whichever protein you choose, no skimping.Service is incredibly attentive and quick to offer suggestions.

I went here with my team at work for our Friday lunch outing. The staff at Royal Indian Cuisine did a great job serving our larger party of 8 people. They were very kind to us, and brought us a delicious appetizer for the table to split, as well as a taste of Kulfi for us to share. The decor helped contribute to the authentic Indian food experience. I would highly recommend Royal Indian Cuisine to anyone looking for delicious Indian food.

Food was stale. Ordered gobi Manchurian and chili paneer which instead of spicy were sweet. Palak paneer quantity was half of what other restaurants serve. Very disappointed.

One of the BEST Indian spots I've been to. I loved the mixed grill for two. Honestly I think three people could eat that and be satisfied. I went with a friend and we had enough leftovers for us both to eat them for dinner the next day and it was STILL delicious! We usually like spicy food but sometimes Indian food can have a different level of spice. We went with mild and didn't feel it was spicy at all. Next time we will try medium and let y'all know how it is. Mysore Cheese Masala Dosa was so BIG. It was def big enough for two people. The only thing is if you order this you shouldn't order anything else. It is so big and it's best eaten fresh with the cheese just melted and not reheated later. Be cautious with the Khari Lassi, I was trying to be adventurous and didn't care for it at all. It's not "bad" but just not to my taste. I would def recommend eating here.

Food is phenomenal. We had a spread of plain Dosa - (huge and snappy!) and three vegetarian entrees mildly spiced. The Aloo Gobi hit the spot, and the yellow lentils and spinach entrees were tasty too. Yummy naan. rice was cooked to perfection.I had some of their black tea with milk which was good. Wish they offered uncaffeinated homemade chai. service was ok, but here the food was so great ill be dreaming about it.Love the decor. Some would say it need an update but i just love it how it is.
