It's a buffet, so let me start by saying service was as expected. They sit you, they give you…read morewater, and they give you a couple pieces of naan. So, that part was just fine, no complaints. It's a small place and I went at the height of lunch and still got seated quickly. There's music playing in the small, sorta dated location. Now, the buffet and food itself. The only item I liked was the cooked vegetable medley. This includes the 3 chicken options, the saag paneer, and the chickpea and soup options. Everything but the medley was either just plain or only salty, without much exciting and bold Indian flavor. It was just...okay. It was all cooked well, it just didn't scratch that Indian food itch. I'm usually pretty forgiving with my reviews, but with so few options, I couldn't just have it fully redeemed by the one option I liked. Even the rice was just plain basmati rice that seemed wetter than usual for what I expect from an Indian buffet. They did have gulab jamun and rice pudding. So that was nice.

The buffet each time has had a great selection of vegetarian or chicken options. They are also salads, desserts, and sometimes appetizers available. Does not include drinks like Chai, but those are worth adding to your check in my opinion. Each individual item I've tried has been great!! Especially love the classic tadka daal and saag paneer. Looking forward to going again, especially for the great value.

I normally always love Indian food but something about each dish was off. We got the Kodi vopidu (chicken stir fry) based on some prior Yelp reviews. It was ok but not super flavorful or impressive. Was not really a fan of the veggie korma--it was full of spices but not as creamy as I'm used to. The texture was almost grainy? The portions were a bit small as well for the price. My husband did get a lentil dish (not sure which one) which was the best out of the tree we ordered. Overall we were disappointed as Nalan had a very high Yelp rating (probably because of its nicer interior--cute wall with a word cloud of food) but the food itself was underwhelming. There are multiple Indian and Nepali restaurants on the east shore we liked better.

Like other people mentioned, the place itself is very clean and airy which is inviting. Also, as others mentioned, they give you a mini plastic bottle of water with your meal. I'd love to know the thinking behind that. It's takes away from the class of the meal. In underdeveloped countries getting bottled water is a sign that it's drinkable. Not sure the purpose here, but it feels wasteful. We had Chicken Tikka Masala, Kadai Chicken and Malai Kofta along with garlic naan. We got medium heat and were happy. Kadai Chicken was new to us and we loved it. Spectacular. Delicate and intricate flavors. We always order Malai Kofta if it's on the menu. Never disappoints. Chicken Tikka Masala was very good. We were just more enamored with the Kadai. All the dishes worked very well together. The malai kofta wasn't even hot, but we loved it anyway. I really should have sent it back, but as I mentioned, we were in town for a happy event so we just rolled with it! It was expensive and not something we'd do every week, but if you're looking for tasty Indian, this is it.

During my recent trip to Pennsylvania, I had the pleasure of trying Royal Kitchen: Indian *…read moreAmerican Bar & Grill. The restaurant is located in Carlisle, PA and is a short drive from Hershey. The exterior has a diner look, but the inside features a comfortable and semi-casual atmosphere. Considering how busy they were, the wait staff did well attending to all their hungry guests. The restaurant has an extensive Indian menu with vegetarian and nonvegetarian dishes. The American menu features typical bar and grill fare such as Buffalo Wings, Burgers, and Onion Rings. The prices are a little high, but the portions and quality of food are worth it. My table ordered a Bread Basket, which featured Garlic Naan, Butter Naan, Tandoori Roti, and Onion Kulcha. This delicious assortment of bread was more than enough for my table of four. We decided to go family style with our entrées and ordered Chicken 65, Butter Chicken, and Home Style Chicken Curry. Every dish was utter perfection, but the superstar was the Chicken 65. While it is technically an appetizer, I would order this again as my entrée. I have eaten plenty of tasty Chicken 65 before, but never has it been at the high caliber that Executive Chef Ramanveer Singh and the rest of his kitchen staff are serving. It had what seemed to be a buttery and spicy coating on the chicken with a delicious curry flavor. I am saddened that it is a four-hour drive from where I live for me to be able to acquire this again. Nonetheless, I hope to return to Royal Kitchen soon if, for nothing else, to be able to savor their Chicken 65 once more.

When the waitress finally arrived, she mentioned she was the only one working and implied that the slow service would continue throughout the evening. Thankfully, my husband quickly looked up another local spot, and that's when we found Captain Krab Cajun Seafood & Boil--what a blessing! Not only did we enjoy incredible food and exceptional service, but both the server and the owner went above and beyond to make our daughter's birthday truly special. We were treated to fresh, delicious seafood, a sparkler candle dessert, a plush gift for the birthday girl, and even a light-up birthday sign! We felt like part of their family. We ordered oysters, clam chowder, boiled eggs, baby clams, and snow crab legs--everything was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. You can even customize your meal by choosing from four different seasonings and five levels of spiciness, which makes it ideal for families or groups with mixed tastes. One of the most fun parts? You can write on the walls, tables, and even the ceiling! They also have a claw machine for the kids (and kids at heart). We'll absolutely be back next time we're in town! P.S. It's BYOB!
