    The people there are very nice. The food was quite good. The star was the tandoori chicken- probably the best I've ever had. We also got saag paneer, butter chicken, and goat curry. The chicken was a bit dry in the butter chicken. All in all, it was very solid.

    Customer service was great. The environment was nice. They were able to keep the place cooler with 2 big portable coolers, because the sun just beams in on the hottest hours of the day. And the food!!! OMG soooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!

    Huge Selection

    Very nice service. We went lady night and ordered takeout. I ordered 2 orders of Samosas. I love Samosas, and these were a little different at first but after a couple bites with green chutney I really enjoyed them. They were very good. We ordered the garlic naan which was delicious and very garlicky! We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and some rice, and it was fabulous! So delicious!!!! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious!

    I love curry food and I have tried many Indian buffet. Saw that this place recently opened and had a buffet on the weekend so I went to go try it and was quite impressed. Very clean place and service was good. It can be a challenge with language barrier when trying to make out what they're saying sometimes so you'll have to have them repeat themselves. Got seated right away and helped ourselves to the buffet area. I was so happy they have samosa as I always look forward to buffets with samosa. Food was fresh and had lots of flavor. Goat curry was great. Only downfall I would say is that I was hoping they had butter chicken and/or chicken tikka masala as one of the other dishes as many other Indian restaurants have it on their buffet entrees. Either way I did enjoy my food. Give this place a try.

    My oldest and I stopped in to try the weekend buffet for $17.99 . This inside is nice and buffet area was clean. Everyone was so nice and asked if we had any questions about the dishes. The buffet included a hot tea, plain naan , and some ice cream as well. There was a great selection of, four meat options and 3 vegetarian options. They had samosas, rice, salad and gulab jamun. The naan was nice and thin but not too thin. The butter chicken was delicious but my favorite was this chili chicken ! My oldest enjoyed everything and definitely wants to go back. I wish next time they have an aloo gobi which is my favorite. The only complaint I think I had was the samosas needed a little bit of spice(spicy) and the tandoori chicken was a bit dry and over cooked but maybe it was the piece I picked.

    Lamb curry

    Pros: Okay service. Neat and clean dinning area. Cons: Naan was not good, tasted off. Very pricey for food quality and portion size. Food was not that good.

    We went here for our Sons 18th birthday today, this place is amazing! The taste of the food was so authentic, fresh, and tasty!! I've eaten and other places with similar cuisine and this place beats them all, Niveen was our server and his customer service was really good! The prices are super fair considering the high end Punjab food that is served and the effort that is put into making the food. We will be back for sure! Thank you so much for making our son's 18th birthday special! Oh and our server and manager/owner sang along Happy Birthday with us!

    Aloo Gobhi Paneer Tikka Masala Garlic Naan Garlic Naan Plain Rice

    We came here on a rainy Monday afternoon. It was super cold and windy outside but inside it was warm and bright. The menu has quite a lot of different selections, with a ton of vegetarian options. We had the Aloo Gohbi, paneer tikka masala, samosa, and garlic naan. The food was fast and delicious. The samosas perfectly crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. The non-was fresh out of the oven and soft yet crispy. Don't get me started on the sauce for the tikka masala. I wanted to lick the plate. As for the Aloo Gohbi, my kid asked me why I don't make this for Thanksgiving instead of "those plain" mashed potatoes. All in all 5/5 stars. I will be coming back with more people so I can try more dishes

We usually get their lamb tikka and their butter chicken along some vegetable dish to round it out. Even if you eat all the protein the thick sauce should be saved.

This place is pretty much a hole in the wall, but it has enough space for about maybe forty people to dine comfortably. What they lack in space, they make up for in flavors. Everything that I've ever eaten here has been outstanding and wonderful! I personally think they have some of the best butter chicken in town. Their vegetable briyani is one of my go-to's and something that I constantly order. The naan is always fresh and flavorful and leaves me wishing that I ordered more. This is one of those rare places in Fresno that I have to say, if you haven't been, you absolutely need to go!

Gotta get these guys back to work! Royal Taj Indian Cuisine is located just off the 41 freeway at the Herndon Ave. exit going east. There's no turn into the shopping center where the restaurant is, so turn right on North First Street and turn right into the big parking lot. Easy parking. Going in, the inside decor is nice, not overly decorated to make you feel a little underdressed or anything. We get seated and drink orders taken. We all want the garlic naan that comes with the buffet. I'm not that well versed in all the particular Indian dishes, I just know what I like myself and as long as they have Tandoori Chicken and Tikka Masala along with basmati rice, I'm happy. The rest of my crew are a little more adventurous. The food looked fresh, cause I know to get to any buffet near opening for the best food. I loaded up on the Tikka Masala and rice along with the Tandoori chicken. The chicken was tender and very tasty. We all ate our fill and were ready to get back to work.

It tastes homemade and authentic. The lunch buffet also comes with freshly made naan that they bring directly from the kitchen. You can choose plain or garlic naans. We always get the garlic ones. There is always a good variety of dishes at the buffet. Everything we've tried has been tasty, but we especially love their lamb when it's available and their gulab jamun (fried dough balls soaked in sweet syrup). We always leave happy and full! Indian food can sometimes be associated with spicy or hot food, but nothing has ever been too hot for me there. I can't handle spicy food, and I've never had a dish here that I couldn't eat because of the heat. Place: It's a medium-sized restaurant with plenty of room. There are both tables and booths. It's not a new or fancy restaurant, but it's comfortable and spacious, with enough room between tables to give you a little privacy while you eat. Staff: The staff is always welcoming and friendly. They check on you from time to time but generally leave you alone, which works well for a lunch buffet. They also regularly check the buffet area and keep everything clean and well stocked. We'll definitely continue coming here whenever we're in the mood for Indian food. You get to try a variety of different dishes for a reasonable price, and we always leave satisfied!

The folks who run this place seem to really care about the quality of the food and the experience the guests have. Unlike our first visit on Valentine's Day which was very busy, we came back on a weekend evening this fall, and there were only a couple other diners. It seems like "the new normal" is that most business for these mom-and-pop type restaurants appears to be by Doordash, Grubhub, UberEats -- even if they're making plenty of sales, very few people come in and sit down. It's odd. You can no longer judge how good a restaurant will be by how many people are seating having dinner on a Saturday night. But despite not very many people dining in, it's a comfortable, welcoming, clean space. Everything was still fresh, delicious, and very similar to last time, EXCEPT: The main update I wanted to give is that the little "glitches" I noticed when the place was brand new are all gone now. This is just as I expected, but I wanted to let Yelpers know this. So yes, this time the got everything we ordered, we got sauces with the appetizer, and we were given full-size dinner plates. Love those black lentils. Everyone: go eat them!

We were seated quickly, and since we had already looked over the menu at home, we came ready to order. We ordered the fish pakora, samosas, tandoori chicken, butter chicken, goat curry, chili paneer, garlic naan, Indian desi salad, malai chicken, cucumber raita, and mango lassi. Let me tell you--the food was AMAZING! The goat curry was easily the best goat curry I've ever had. The chili paneer was a solid 10/10, and the fish pakoras were phenomenal. The tandoori chicken came out piping hot, which I loved, and the flavor was even better. The butter chicken was delicious, with a great portion size and plenty of sauce for the naan. The samosas may have been the best I've ever had, and the garlic naan came out fresh, hot, and perfect. The kiddos especially loved dipping it into all the different curry sauces. The malai chicken was prepared well, but it personally wasn't my favorite flavor and probably isn't something I would order again. The kids, however, really enjoyed it! Overall, the portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and there were so many standout dishes. We left very happy and will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend the goat curry, chili paneer, fish pakora, and samosas!
