Best Indian food in Bell County! Bathrooms are ADA compliant and extremely clean. Service is exceptional. But, the food is above all fantastic. We've been coming here for years and the food never disappoints. It is consistently good and made with healthy and fresh ingredients. Try the Ginger Chicken, Vegetable Biryani, Masala Dosa, and Garlic Naan. Pair it with Indian Lemonade, and finish your meal with delicious bread pudding. Approximately $70 for a satisfying meal for 2 adults with a healthy appetite. Can't wait to return! read more

I finally went for dinner yesterday, the gentleman at the counter was friendly, attentive and gracious. Love that he's showing love and appreciation for us healthcare workers this month 15% off, highly recommend you take advantage. I ordered the massive masala onion dosa for the first time ever and the dips it comes with were amazing, it was extremely filling and had plenty of leftovers for the next day!! My friend got chicken tikka masala with rice and the garlic naan made fresh. Per the newspaper on the wall, this establishment has been around and has heart and soul! The food is made with love, attention and detail and to order . The ambiance is simple and open space. The place is kept tidy and plenty of people came for take out and to dine in on a Tuesday evening. I would say please give this place some love. The prices are not bad for the portion. read more

Roopa's Kitchen - Goat Curry and Garlic Naan with unsweetened ice tea - Indian Near Me - Temple, Texas

Still the best Indian food in the county. A local favorite of many BS&W medical pros. Go lighter than you think on the heat until you're sure you can handle it. Very refreshing & tasty dishes. The rice (biryani) & naan are simply perfect as is the dessert Gulab Jamon. Great spot for a date meal or hosting a group. Service is kind & the place is kept spotless. The cloth napkins & heavy silverware elicit a fine dining experience but with a casual atmosphere. Come in shorts or a tux, all the same, you won't feel out of place. Roopa's Kitchen is down home Indian with a royal feel. You'll be glad you went. read more

Got the chicken vindaloo ( spicy) and it was absolutely divine. Came in as soon as they opened and the food was hot and ready to go.

Roopa's never disappoints! The food is fantastic *chefs kiss* I am a whimp so I get mild with the lemon rice, less spice no shortage of flavor!! My guy loves spice so he gets the medium and it is enough for him to still enjoy his meal. The garlic naan is a must, the perfect addition for dipping into that sauce!! 10/10! Picture is of the lemon ric, butter chicken, and garlic naan. This building is also well kept with clean bathrooms. The staff are always very kind and happy to give recommendations. read more

We were in town for work, one of our members was from Belgium. We chose this place due to gluten free being marked clearly of the menu (for me). We went on a Thursday evening, it was not busy what so ever. I ordered one of the chicken appetizers and cucumber salad as my meal, my coworker ordered the butter chicken and the other ordered the cheese in sauce and they split the bread. They both enjoyed their meal, the butter chicken order ordered his spicy and he said it was just right for him. Mine was naturally spicy, it didn't really kick in until I finished my dish and then I felt the heat, it was not uncomfortable. The portions are a bit small for sharing, I would recommend an appetizer or two for the table if you are there with a group. read more

I am so glad we found this place!!! Super authentic Indian food. Best meal I have had since moving to Temple. Not only was the food beyond my expectations, but the service and ambiance was so great. The owner took care to check on us to ensure everything was great. The sweet server was very attentive. Also this place was so super clean. We will be back and telling everyone. Also this is a very nice sit down restaurant with soft lighting and candles lit - very warm and inviting. A job well done!!!! read more

Great butter chicken. If you like curry or authentic food. You will like this place. Great local spot with a calm atmosphere

We checked out this place while in Temple, TX & was presently surprised about how delicious their food was! We started off with some samosas (potato pastries filled with savory potatoes & green peas. Served with tamarind sauce) along with the veg pakora (fried fritters drilled with mixed vegetables, flavored with spices. Served with a coconut dipping sauce). Both were extremely flavorful! For our entrée, we ordered Chana Masala (a chickpea dish cooked with tomatoes, ginger, garlic, & a blend of spices). We asked for it spicy & the waitress asked if we were sure. Since we both love spicy food, we said we were sure. But they definitely weren't lying about the spice level! So scrumptious but made one of us sweat lol We also ordered a side of garlic naan & avocado parota (100% whole wheat bread filled with fresh avocado & spices). Perfect for dipping into the Chana Masala! I highly recommend this place if you're in the neighborhood & are craving some authentic Indian food! read more

Roopa's Kitchen - Masala vada - Indian Near Me - Temple, Texas

Been here a few times. It's hit or miss, most consistently miss. Last time I went and got the same thing and it was good. Today it was almost inedible. It was matar paneer. It was curdled and slightly sour. Bread wasn't the normal garlic naan and my mom got chicken tikka masala and the chicken was very thin cut and very dark- questionable even for dark meat chicken. Most of the time that dish is made with white meat. Meat was very poor quality and we asked and were told it was chicken, I'm still skeptical. I am hoping my mom doesn't get sick. The chai was however delicious. Staff is not friendly and barely checks on the table. We were the only people in there. They have no half portions or children's. There's a better place near Killeen and several in Austin that are worth the drive. This one is convenient, but I think they have no quality control due to the fact there's no competition in the area and most people likely don't know better if this has been their only Indian food experience of how things should taste. I am married to an Indian and very familiar with the Americanized and authentic cuisine, so even for Americanized Indian food, this isn't good. read more

Hands down the BEST chicken tiki masala I've EVER had. I was traveling for work in 2018 and came to Texas a few times, each time I made t a point to come! The owner and staff were always very welcoming, the restaurant's ambiance was always clean, calming and Pleasant. I DREAM about the delicious meals I've had there, and it is so heartbreaking that I live literally across the country from this mouthwatering restaurant!! read more

Ordered biryani and it was decent. Mild/medium spice level was perfect for me (someone who enjoys spicy food). Flavors were good but the portions were slightly smaller than what I am used to. Service could be better, over the phone and in person. read more

We had a great experience dining here. The food was delicious and service was good. Their spicy is actually spicy so be careful! I liked all the items we got, except the goat curry did not taste like curry. It was too milk-like creamy (you can even tell just by looking at the color). The meat itself was so tender and good, but the sauce was a bit off. The dining area is spacious and clean. read more

Wow. I was with my family tonight visiting from out of town. My sister-in-law recommended this place and I'm so glad we did this instead of anything else. Food was outstandingly flavorful. Service was incredibly personable and nice. Our table started with samosas, pardon if that's not spelled right. They were crunchy and fresh. I got the chicken 65 appetizer as an entree. I asked for spicy level heat and it was extremely well balanced between a nice kick and flavor. I got the lemon rice as a side, and it was crunchy and delicious. Our entire party loved everything we had. This is going to be a must stop next time I fly out. read more

The food was fresh with a phenomenal blend of spices. The online menu clearly labels vegan and gluten free options, which makes it easy to order for the tummy. Portion size was more than enough for an extra meal. read more

Roopa's Kitchen is literally one of my favorite restaurants EVER. -- OF ALL TIME. I always get my trusty butter chicken (mild) OR the chicken tikka masala (mild) and I am NEVER disappointed. The service is always wonderful when I dine in the restaurant, but I have also had great experiences with the to go ordering as well!! If Roopa's were ever in danger of closing down... I'm pretty sure that I would spend my life's savings just to keep it open!! read more

Oh man, if you're in Temple and a fan of Indian cuisine, go to Roopa's Kitchen. Don't let the modest location fool you; this place is a not-so-hidden gem. The Chicken Biriyani (med spicy). It's the star of the show, in my book. The flavors are rich and complex, a blend of spices and herbs that'll leave you wanting more. The chicken itself is tender and juicy, perfectly cooked. It's the kind of dish you'll be dreaming about long after you've left the restaurant. As for the rest of the menu, everything I've tried has been prepared excellent, not a fan on the fish pakora. The naan is pillowy soft, the curries are flavorful, and the chutneys are on point. The Indian Lemonade and the tea are wonderful. The staff are attentive. Honestly, the only downside is the location. Roopa's could definitely benefit from a more prominent spot to match its high-quality offerings. But in a way, that almost adds to its charm. All in all, Roopa's Kitchen stands out as one of the best places for Indian cuisine in Bell County. 15 to about 25 per person on average. read more

Here are the pics I promised Still my favorite Indian restaurant!!! If you can't handle a whole lotta spice, then be sure to order your meal "mild." I like my food rather spicy, but their "medium" level is pretty hot. I don't think I would be able to handle much spicier. read more

Roopa's Kitchen - Chicken tikka masala and lemon rice - Indian Near Me - Temple, Texas

Little Indian restaurant situated on canyon creek drive in temple. My husband and I have always ordered take out from this restaurant for the year and change we've been here and I asked him if he wanted to eat inside for a change. After work we went and it was a relatively good time, not too busy and the wait staff was attentive. I tried out a vegan dish and it did not disappoint. We usually get samosas, but I ate a bunch that I'd bought from Costco earlier that week and my husband wanted to try something new. We ended up trying Masada vads and veggie pakora. Both were delightful and flavorful. I will say it was a bit more spicy than what I am used to so be prepared for that runny nose if spicy isn't your Forte. The coconut chutney helps with the spice a bit. My husband had had in the past: butter chicken (spicy), chicken vindaloo(spicy), chicken Tika masal, and now he just tried chicken kurma. For him he loves spicy, but when we compared take out to sitting in the restaurant we felt the spice level went up! He didn't mind it at all and stated the flavor of the chicken kurma he tried was absolutely amazing! I've tried pretty much the same dishes as him but this time around I tried the Chana masala. All of the delightful flavors minus the meat and substitute that with chickpeas! I will say I ordered mines medium and It was a kick in the taste buds! I wouldn't have it any other way it was so delicious! If you ever come here definitely try this dish with the veggie biryani! You will not be disappointed! The owners of this store are super kind and honestly opening to sharing with you how the dishes are made! Would definitely say roopas all the way for Indian food in Temple, you will not be disappointed! read more

My mother and I order takeout here. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and she ordered the ginger chicken. We also ordered naan which was quite good. Both dishes were tasty and savory, and just the right level of spicy, but overall I felt that there was something left to be desired in terms of flavor. I expect chicken tikka masala to be a little bit more creamy and less broth-y. I'm no expert in Indian cuisine, but based off meals I've had in the past, I felt the dish likely could've benefited from additional coconut milk, spices, and maybe a garnish of cilantro and lime. I may come back just to see if it was a one off day, but it wasn't exactly what I was craving- even though it was decent. The restaurant appeared to be very nice and clean. The staff was professional and friendly. The prices were very affordable - and they have a rewards program. On the phone ordering and pick up for easy and quick. Of note: my mother said her ginger chicken was absolutely delicious and she had no complaints. Also of note: they had a surplus of hand sanitizer at the door and the payment station, which has a registered nurse I appreciate in the time of Covid. read more

This place is a gem! The food and service here are excellent! I ordered the Chicken Kofta mild which had more than enough heat for me. Rice was perfectly cooked and the chicken was so tender! Love the cucumber salad served on the side as a palate cleanser! Also had the garlic naan with our meal. Honestly, two of us had entrees and the naan and it was around $53 including tip which in my opinion was a great deal considering the quality of the dishes. Will definitely try to come back if I'm the area again! read more

Service was great and everything was very tasty. The mango lassi was refreshing and not too sweet: the Indian lemonade was a little too sweet for me so I cut it with water. The butter chicken was divine! The naan and chapati were also tasty. The weekend special goat was gone by the time we got there so my mom got the lamb. It was still good and pretty spicy for me at a medium level. The flavors were all on point for me and pretty generous servings! read more
