The truck grille, the walls and punjabi songs on tv completed the picture. The menu is large and had a lot of choices. We ordered the appetizer platter. Was good enough for three adults. Ordered Shahi Paneer no spice, but Sarason ka saag medium spice. Ordered chole bhature. Everything was heavenly. The bhature had no oil, very soft and tasty!! The spicier stuff also has subtle tastes to them. Not to be missed if you are passing on 81 or live nearby. We drove an hour to get there. Worth making the trip. Great food and awesome service.

We went on two occasions and tried the garlic naan, channa masala, daals, chicken tikka masala and goat curries. The thali was super good with the tandoori chicken. The only adjustment I would make is the gravies are a bit on the thin side so it makes it hard to eat with naan. The curries are also served with rice so if you are eating it with rice it's no issue, but it can be tough with naan. Otherwise great institution we will be back! The owners are sweet and the quality is good. I don't think you can find better south asian food in the area. I'm giving 3 stars simply because I'm south asian and a tough critic and comparing to restaurants in nova as well, but for the Culpeper/Central VA area it's def 4 stars.

I wish it were a bit spicier (I ordered mild), but incredible nonetheless. I live 4+ hours away, but come to Front Royal, VA once in a while for work--my first impression of Royal Zaika makes me want to visit more often! Mutter Paneer is usually my favorite, but it will be hard not to order their Palak Paneer next time, too!

This restaurant is farther from the highway than it looks due to Front Royal's small-town vibe and…read moreslow roads. It offers a solid North Indian menu. Notably, you're only about an hour a way from an Indian restaurant bonanza in some of the suburbs closer to DC, and this place would be pretty ordinary in those surroundings. However, around here, it is one of few options. Notably it does have vegan-marked offerings. This should not be construed to suggest that they offer health food. I searched for something that wasn't fried but was told that they were out of steamed dumplings (some degree of pre-preparation must be done there). I ended up with a chole bhature, which came with two small puffed breads that didn't impress, but had a great set of accoutrements. I got my dumplings fried in chili sauce. And I added a fresh mint and lime soda, which was excellent. So there is some quality here, for those wanting Indian food and not wanting to head towards DC or Winchester.

They have plenty of offerings that you'd find at any Indian restaurant, but I sought to try something called recheado. The use of vinegar in addition to a range of Indian spices creates a strong and memorable flavor. I got it with paneer. I've been ordering medium rather than Indian hot spice levels lately due to some stomach issues, and I will say that this place's spice levels are the real deal. Even medium was considerable and I would not ask them to do the full spice level unless you really mean it. I appreciated the option to order two small vegetable dishes as an entree; variety is good. I also added a mouthwatering bread and a side of pickled carrots for a more authentic experience. It was heavy comfort food, but it didn't seem to harm my stomach and it did excite my tastebuds as expected.

I liked the chili milli gobhi a lot. I wasn't expecting it to be fried, but I enjoyed it, and it was covered in some sort of chili sauce. The samosa was pretty good, I liked the sauces it came with. The butter chicken was just fine, I feel like I have had better, but it was very saucy which I liked. The naan was pretty good. I liked our server, she was nice and seemed to know the menu.

From the outside it looks like a strip mall restaurant. So I was not expecting much. I didn't see a lot of people going in alone many people in the window, so I thought I was going to be the only guest at 11:30. Man, I was so wrong. I walked in and found that there was an entire dining room inside, and it was pretty busy for a lunch crowd. The waitress was nice and had good energy. She gave me a table and a menu. The choices were pretty standard. I went with the chicken 65 and the Korma. She asked me for a spice level and I told her to light me up. The lunch menu came with a salad or soup choice and I opted for the salad. It was very good.... Fresh and light. The food arrived and it was great. The appetizer was cooked fresh and tasty. The main course came with naan and a side dish. It was spicy as hell. And it was good. Very very good. I would recommend it if you are looking for Indian in Charlottesville.
