    Lamb achari  with mango chutney , rice and an unusual naan
    R G.

    Delicious in a casual setting. The service is friendly and quick. The black tea is delicious . The portion size is wonderful. I enjoyed the raisins in the rice. Very nice long grain. Love the raw garlic sauce ; I can sleep peacefully after reading my current vampire book, "on wings of blood."

    Love this place, food is delicious and so darn tasty and fresh. Love the laid back eclectic vibes here and the staff is always helpful. Definitely a must when I'm in the downtown hood.

    Order at the counter then find your seat style restaurant - with floor seating available. GREAT food. You can tell they definitely focus on the flavors here. Slightly pricey for the portion size, but still very much worth it. Being my first time here the cashier was also very patient and even helpful with the menu. Will definitely be revisiting this place

    A delightful cafe with very tasty food. A nice addition to the international cuisine of Albuquerque. The chicken kebab plate was wonderful. The cafe interior is beautifully decorated and has a traditional seating area for dining. The staff were helpful to explain the menu items.

    Very nice and helpful staff. I got the Lamb Tikka Kebab and the Manto, which was basically (4) seasoned beef dumplings that were steamed NOT deep fried. See pics below. The lamb kebabs and the rice were both very tasty. The spiced chutney dipping sauce was, like the waiter said, a little on the spicy side so I asked for something else and he gave me a garlic-flavored yogurt - which was a lot like a tzatziki sauce - very good. The restaurant has a nice authentically decorated inside seating area as well as a couple of tables outside. There was some Afghan music videos playing on a TV monitor for background music, but not too loud - very nice and added to the authenticity. All in all, a great dining experience!

    Food was so good and the staff was wonderful. So yummy we visited more than once on our trip.

    Chicken karahi

    We ordered the chicken karahi and a side of pulow. The sauce of the chicken was savory, with just the right amount of fresh ginger, coriander, garlic, and other spices. Heat level was on the mild side. This is a nice addition to replace Knead, which eventually only served pastries.

    Finding the Ghengis Grill had closed, we headed across the parking lot to Pars. It had been on my…read morewife's wish list so this was a great opportunity to have the whole family try it. We arrived a few minutes after noon on a Saturday and were promptly seated. Our waitress took drink orders and returned to answer our questions and take our orders. We had a lamb gyro, lamb kebab and my daughter ordered a plate with a sweet rice, falafel, hummus and a Mediterranean salad. Everyone was more than pleased with the flavors of their dish. We shared tastes around. I found the rice interesting, but prefer more savory when accompaniment to an entree. The marinated lamb for the kebab was outstanding and the meat cooked perfectly. I even tried the hummus which to my surprise was very good. I do not as a rule enjoy chick peas, but this mix was delightful. The restaurant itself carried the desired theme, even offering traditional low seating for those who wish that feeling. Solid five stars. I'd give extra to the wait staff for how they dealt with the chronic complainer at the next table, if Yelp would allow that extra. If you're looking for outstanding Mediterranean cuisine, give Pars a try.

    If you have been reading my other reviews on yelp or Google you know my philosophy is that…read moresometimes you go to a restaurant and the food isn't that great or maybe it's awful. It a situation like that, barring getting ill or having the meal be too expensive, I always say, give it another try. Cooks and Chefs have bad days/nights just like all of us. So if you can, try giving the place a second chance. However, if the wait staff is bad. They ignore you, they're rude, or if they are mean there's really no reason to go back. Those people represent the customer facing side of business and if they don't care, what does that say about the rest of the place? I can already hear some of you saying hey, they have bad days too. You're right but in sales (I've been there) you have to work it out one way or another. It can suck but whether you feel it or not you are an extremely important cog in that machine. Well, let me tell you at Royal Hyderabad on Juan Tabo, every single time I go there they care about the food and experience. They are fantastic start to end. The last time I went I got there very early to pick up my food. They offered me a seat, brought me tea, and the woman at the front struck up a conversation with me. It was friendly, nice, and in my experience of the wonderful culture. About 15 minutes later my food was ready. The woman handed me the bag. She looked at her watch, then the bag. I took the bag thanked her and wished her a good evening. I walked out the door smiling to the other customers. I was outside when it hit me that I was WAY too early pick up my food and there were several other people in line. How could they finish my food so quickly? I stopped turned around, and the woman came running outside and asked me if I could just come with her inside and wait. She noticed my name remembered who I was on. The phone asked me if I was told my food was going to take a while and she said she wanted to check my bag just to be on the safe side. She didn't think the kitchen was running that fast. Well, she was right. I had a different order and the people in the back had just made a mistake. It was just a simple miscommunication, but instead of letting me leave, she came all the way outside as I was walking to the parking lot she stopped me, asked me to come back in and helped me. She then immediately went to the back, explained what it happened and one of the chef said he would make it right and he did he had my food out in just a couple of minutes. Was recognized the person there cared enough to come get me they thanked me. They admitted to a simple mistake. They fixed the problem. Everybody was smiling at the end, and all the other customers got to see it and quite frankly, they looked impressed because they all probably know how many times they've walked out of a restaurant with an incomplete or incorrect order and nobody cared. As I have likely said before, try Royal Hyderabad on Juan Tabo. Remember that if you can't handle hot food and I mean well beyond New Mexico hot food try medium or mild. The food is delicious and I've never ever not enjoyed anything that I've tried. And the people who work there seem to really care about their clientele and treat them so nice.

    Had a great dinner at Royal Hyderabad - East! My friend and I ordered the sizzling tandoori chicken…read moreplatter, biryani rice, and a dosa, and everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The tandoori chicken especially had an amazing smoky flavor and looked awesome coming out still sizzling at the table. The portions were generous and the service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The menu has a lot of authentic South Indian options, and you can tell they put a lot of care into the food. Albuquerque definitely needed a spot like this, and I can see why so many people recommend it for Indian food in town. A couple small things I think could make the experience even better: the drink selection was pretty limited since they only offered Coke, water, and juice. It would be nice to see more variety. Also, they had music playing in the restaurant, but it was so low you could barely hear it, so the atmosphere could feel a little more lively with the volume turned up. If that changed I'd give them a five star. Overall though, the food and service were both great and I'd definitely come back!
