I've never ordered anything I don't like, and I generally don't order the same thing twice. Easily the best food in walking distance from RIT. Service is always excellent, ambiance is always great. I don't typically go for the buffets but the buffet prices are also fantastic, but dining by regular sit-down or take out isn't terribly expensive. I usually walk out with enough in a take out box to eat the next day. Try the onion pakoras and the kheer if you love yourself!

We've gone to Royal of India about 5 times. Always on Wednesdays for the dinner buffet. At 17.99…read moreplus whatever you choose to drink, it's a good value for 2026. The buffet has a 'just right' number of items I think. There are about 8 different proteins in sauce type items like Paneer Makhani and chicken Masala plus Tandoori chicken, fried fish, a few different fried vegetable items and several different dals or stews. There are also mini lines with salads and deserts and chutneys which frankly, we just don't pay much attention to. I really appreciate that they bring FRESHLY made piping hot naan to the table. My favorite 2 dishes on the buffet are the Mushroom Masala and a dish whose name I don't recall that is described as having cardamon and black peppercorns. This chicken cardamon pepper dish has an enjoyable but still mild level of spice. And that dish, mild as it is, is about the only thing I've tried on the buffet that is even a little spicy. I imagine they keep the buffet very mild to avoid being too spicy for timid diners but I consistently leave wishing I had a little more zing to my dinner. This last visit we ordered some Chicken Moma off the menu as an appetizer and they were AMAZING. Basically posticker type chinese dumplings but the filling had an Indian spice and they were served with two delicious sauces. All the basics work consistently here. The temperature of the room, cleanliness, service etc are all at least meeting expectation every time but probably not standing out in any way.

We already knew we enjoyed Naan‑Tastic from their Victor location, so we decided to check out the…read moreHenrietta spot -- and this one turned out to be even more fun. The décor immediately caught our eye, especially the motorcycle and tuk tuk pieces on display. It gives the space a lively, playful personality that sets it apart from typical fast‑casual restaurants. One standout here is the Thali plate, served on a beautiful metal tray that lets you sample a variety of dishes at once. Ours included rice and naan, Channa Masala, Paneer with Makhani Sauce, a veggie Samosa, a small salad topped with Punjabi Mac Salad, and one Gulaab Jamun for dessert. The whole plate was a feast for the eyes -- colorful, aromatic, and wonderfully fragrant with spices. Each item was better than the next. Everything had just the right hint of spice: enough to notice, but never overwhelming. The balance was excellent. The sleeper hit was absolutely the Punjabi Mac Salad. Wow -- that was unexpectedly delicious. If they sold it by the pound, we'd bring it to our next picnic. The naan was perfect for scooping up all the sauces, and we both left our plates sparklingly clean because we didn't want to miss a drop. We'd never tried Gulaab Jamun before, so we weren't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a mini sweet flavor explosion -- just the right amount to finish off the meal. Even though this is a fast‑casual setting, the food punches far above its weight class. It's every bit as thoughtful and tasty as dishes from full‑service restaurants. It's also a great spot for folks like us who are newer to Indian cuisine and enjoy exploring the menu and learning new things. We'll definitely continue to return -- and this location of Naan‑Tastic might just be our new favorite.

Everything is currently made to order, so expect a bit of a wait until they work out the kinks in what seems to be a new business venture. They have Square for credit card processing. The owner seemed to indicate they signed a lease for the location, so I would expect them to stay put for a while, but you never know... While there, checkout the impressive Namaste Cash-and-Carry market next door.

Putting in a couple appetizers, we opted in for the kibbeh, baba ghanouj, and manakeesh (za'atar w. cheese). The kibbeh was seasoned and fried perfectly. The baba ghanouj was creamy and accompanied with a very nice and airy pita bread, and the manakeesh was wonderful. It reminded me of a sauceless cheese pizza with the middle eastern spices. For mains, we opted in for the Mashawi which included a trio of meats. Kofta, beef kabob and chicken. All three meats were nicely seasoned, but the star meat for us was the kofta. The side of hummus was nice, and the salad was nicely seasoned even before pouring the dressing over it. Also opting in for the lamb chops, I found these to be perfectly grilled and incredibly tender. These were grilled closer to a medium-well, but still remained juicy and packed full of flavor. We found our server and the kitchen employee (perhaps the owner) to be pleasant and full of hospitality. This small-from-the-outside restaurant blew us away and we enjoyed everything we had. We look forward to returning in the near future to try other items on their menu.

They were very disrespectful and I got hanged up. I will not order from this restaurant again.

I ordered Tom Kar soup, Panang chicken and Chicken Phat prikpao. Food came out within 10 minutes.

Since it wasn't a big issue in terms of flavor, and the price is reasonable, I gave 4 stars (3 and a half is better suited). Staffs are friendly. The restaurant look a bit outdated.

I ate here tonight and everything was genuinely delicious. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and asked for it spicy. It delivered ~ bold flavor, a nice kick, and a rich, creamy tomato sauce that tasted fresh and well balanced. The basmati rice was perfectly cooked and made the ideal base for soaking up every last bit of sauce. And I have to say it: the garlic naan might be the best I've ever had. The garlic wasn't just sprinkled on top, it felt like it was tucked into the folds of the bread, so every bite had that buttery, garlicky goodness. I kept dipping it into the tikka masala until the bowl was basically spotless. I also had hot chai, and it was outstanding. So good I ordered a second cup. What I ordered: * Chicken Tikka Masala ($19.99) ~ Boneless chicken cooked with onion, green peppers, tomato sauce, and cream * Plain Basmati Rice ($5.99) * Garlic Naan ($5.99) ~ Topped with garlic and cilantro Good to know: This restaurant is tucked in the back of the grocery store. When you walk in, you'll see a comfortable seating area up front with booths and tables. It's a great setup for a lunch meeting, a casual dinner, or a quick bite before heading home. I don't think many people realize there's a restaurant inside the grocery store, so consider this your friendly heads up. Buffet options (from their in store sign): * Lunch Buffet: $14.99 (Weekdays: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) * Time: 11:00 am to 2:30 pm * All Day Buffet: $16.99 (Weekends: Friday, Saturday, Sunday) * Friday & Saturday: 11:00 am to 9:00 pm * Sunday: 11:00 am to 8:30 pm I'll definitely be back, and I'd love to see more people discover this spot.
