Everything was delicious! We had ordered the butter chicken, saag paneer and lamb biryani. The combination of flavors were well seasoned and super comforting on a cold winter evening. This was a takeaway order, and it was well packaged. We also ordered gulab jamun and it was perfect.

Thursday 11/14/24Made a visit with my family @ 1 pm and first thing you notice is the ambiance of the restaurant which is very well done and nicely set up with decor. The service was pretty good and attentive and most of all the lunch buffet experience (runs from 11:30 am - 2:30 pm) is only $19.99 which is a very fair price. Once you are seated, you can immediately get up to get your food from the buffet (no need to wait). I tried nearly everything at the buffet and for the most part the food was decent but I can't say it's the best Indian food I've had but IT IS the best Indian food EXPERIENCE I've had.My main recommendations would be the basmati rice, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, goat curry, naan, saag-paneer, vegetable Hakka noodles, and lastly my favorite item: gulab jamon (reminds of a pancake ball soaked in syrup). Everything else was either alright/okay or just simply wasn't for me (maybe others would like it).Despite this spot not being the best Indian food I've had, it was definitely the best Indian food EXPERIENCE I've had with: decent food, nice ambiance, good service, and great pricing. I would recommend and be open to returning.

I am conflicted writing this review because the food I was served recently came out quickly and tasted good, and I've eaten a lot of Indian food. Therefore, this review isn't about the chefs. This review is regarding the service. I arrived at 8 on a weeknight. They seated me near the bar, which was blasting Indian dance music, so it wasn't relaxing at all. It was a slow night. A couple who was on their way out seemed to have had a good time. On their way out, they were given coupons for a future visit.I called the restaurant ahead of time to make sure the dish I wanted to get had no gluten or nuts because I have allergies. The woman on the phone said yes, the dish didn't have either.When I arrived, I flipped open the menu to find they don't even offer this dish. The Yelp menu here is seriously outdated. I mentioned this to the woman who seated me, who, the same woman on the telephone. She said, we don't, but we can make it for you. I said thank you. Sounds like I'm on my way, right?As stated, the food arrived and it tasted good. A separate waiter came over and asked me how the food was. I said it was great. To be honest, I was prepared to tell him that it nearly brought tears to my eyes b/c it's been YEARS since I've had that dish.He then said in a nasty tone, it's not on the menu, so next time you come, you can't order it. I was so dumbfounded that I just nodded without speaking and he walked away. At the bar, he was chatting in a foreign language to his colleagues when I decided to challenge with, "why isn't it still on the menu? Do people not like it?" His response was, we like it, but it's a Northern Punjab dish. I then wondered, did I inadvertently step into some Indian interregional conflict? I'm Chinese-American, and I'm clearly not Indian. If this was a problem, I wish I would have been approached with education, not passive aggression. Furthermore, he never refilled my water, even though I got to the bottom of my glass.The woman passed by my table and told the same waiter to bring me carryout containers, which he did. I can't remember now who brought me the bill, but neither of them came to get my credit card and I waited what seemed like a very long while. In the midst of this, an Indian family the staff all knew came in, and everyone was focused on them instead, smiling and laughing with the family. A different man in a gray sweatshirt (part of the cooking staff?) took my card, brought it back, and said thank you.After I paid the bill, I had intended to stop the person who returned it and ask what their specialties were. But it never happened. That's a loss on their part. I guess they don't care about my business.When I was leaving, I used all my will to smile and say thank you to the waiter at the host stand. He said nothing and looked unhappy. It was not a cheap dinner, and I felt awkward and uncomfortable.

Note this is a review for a carry out from for Uber Eats delivery. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE VIA Uber Eats.Please take a look at the photos because I feel EXTREMELY slighted from this place. My money was stolen from me.They offered a BOGO so we got:1. Royal Butter Chicken $52.502. Lamb Saag $58 Typically when you order an entree, it comes with one rice so I was expecting at least four containers. Nope. They packed two. And it was less than 16 oz/pint. Strike one - they don't give you 1:1 rice to entree.And it gets worse. The containers they packed the entrees in are SO FREAKING tiny that two of their containers fit into one regular container. So instead of paying about $15 for one regular sized butter chicken at another restaurant, this crap was $52 for one order. THEY SPLIT ONE ENTREE INTO TWO. Let me math for us - I overpaid $37 for one butter chicken and overpaid $40 for the lamb saag. Strike two. WTF! NOT COOL.Also, hair was in my carry out. Strike three.So I paid $111 for essentially one butter chicken, one lamb saag, and some rice when I got it from other Indian places for less than $30. You've been warned - you will be robbed. This is not my first experience they took money from me. I came here for the buffet with three friends and the Asian hostess added 25% gratuity - weird since it wasn't a party for 6 or more. So we accidentally double tipped and when we asked for our money back the manager said they couldn't reverse it but offered me a free meal next time. Did they remember? Nope. Took my money! Check your bill, friends. Other views mention the same.Guys, this isn't cool at all. We are living in a shady world and if you care about kindness and fairness, this is not the restaurant to support. Thanks for the long read. I'm really upset and sad that this happened and wanted to pass on a warning so this doesn't happen to you. Please be kind and support better businesses than this establishment.

I love me a solid Indian buffet. Royal Tandoor has just that. Everything at the buffet was packed with flavor and quality ingredients. The meat dishes had chunks of meat, not fat or gristle. There's a wide variety of items for omnivores and vegetarians alike. The interior is beautifully decorated and the bathrooms were clean. There was always a staff member within earshot to ask questions or order a beverage. We all got chai to go with our buffets. Yum! I'm a fan.

Delicious range of curries and other Indian delights. The menu is pretty expansive and also veggie friendly. Ambience is definitely 'extra' as the kids say - looks like the Taj casino!Loved their samosas, saag paneer, and vindaloo. Food was not spicy by Indian standards.Beware the waiters are quite sales-y, they'll push you to order more even if you don't need it!

We went here for a family buffet lunch. It was a bit of a drive but worth it! It's a buffet style menu so you get a wide selection of lunch, dinner, and dessert items. We loved every dish. The dessert were so decadent! I loved how gaudy and ostentatious the decor is. The staff were polite and attentive. They were quick to serve more water and ask questions. We realized they charged my daughter for a child status and she's under 4 which should have been free. Definitely check the bill and inquiring if they is the case. Overall, it was delicious and we will be back.

Stopped by for a quick date lunch; they are still royally good. I do think this is the best Indian Buffett in the Bethesda/ Rockville/ Gaithersburg/ Germantown area. Food is great, service is great, and the atmosphere is phenomenal. You will really feel like royalty eating food that's royally good. They also have a private room in the back in case you want to have a private royal party. Best part is, my wife also agrees this is a 4 Star. And she's got ________ taste.Nom nom nom!

Amazing Buffet. It is very understandable why the waitstaff steered us to the Buffer rather than menu items. Great large Taj Mahal beer. Service was relaxed and attentive. Ambiance was relaxed and reflective of Northern Indian design.
