This has become one of my favorite restaurants! The food is always delicious, the service is friendly, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. My absolute favorite appetizer is the Dynamite Cauliflower. In fact, I like it so much that sometimes I order it as my entire meal. It's that good! And fair warning--I don't like sharing it because I want every bite for myself. Everything I've tried has been flavorful and well-prepared, and the staff always makes us feel welcome. If you're looking for great Indian food and excellent service, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

It was our first time here. We definitely wanted to come by and try it out. It's closer to us than most places. The restaurant is very spacious and has a lot of room for big groups. We visited for lunch and there were already patrons in there dining in for lunch as well. The service was great. We wanted to try the lamb kebab and butter chicken. Both served with rice. We also ordered a side of garlic naan. The food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. We'll come back next time to try other items on the menu. read more

We tried several dishes and everything was delicious. The Shahi chicken korma was my favorite -- savory, creamy without being heavy, and so comforting. The butter chicken was also very good. The chicken tikka masala was sweeter and creamier than I expected (just not my personal preference), but still well made. I also really enjoyed the masala popcorn chicken -- super crunchy with a nice kick. I don't usually eat spicy food, but my friend Dani trained me well . The restaurant itself was clean, cozy, and modern, with a really comforting atmosphere. The service was excellent -- everyone was friendly and very helpful. The menu has so many great options that it was honestly hard to choose. We'll definitely be back! read more

Waited 2 hours. Never got my food. Just wasted my time. I used to like this place. Won't be going back. read more

Royal Hyderabad - Butter chicken. Sagg Paneer. Garlic Nann. - Indian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I love the butter chicken and chicken lollipop here. Very similar in taste and quality to the east side location. I would say the east side is bit better in terms of feeling comfortable in the restaurant. This westside location is a little cold when it's cold outside. Service in person is usually great. I've called services times and only 20% of the time a person answers. One thing I wish they did is being able to choose the level of spice through mobile ordering apps - this is the main reason I have to call. Overall, great! read more

The food was really good.... The service was fine.... They're still figuring out their plan.. It was great as an intro, to have the buffet to try out But they weren't doing a menu ordering at the time we went.... So I'm hopeful that will come. The restaurant space was very clean light and airy... comfortable to be in.- tables weren't crowded together read more

Food was amazing! I've been coming here since it opened. The staff is very friendly and the food is wonderful! It's my favorite Indian restaurant in town. I love the buffet on weekends too! Yum!!! read more

I called ahead of time for my takeout order and was eagerly excited after hearing the great reviews. I ordered the chicken puvlav and it was delicious. I ordered the family pack and it is definitely enough for 3 people. When I opened the container the aromatic jasmine rice was divine. I ordered the mild one and boy was it hot! So be warned if you're sensitive to heat like me. I can't wait to go back and explore their other dishes especially to dine in. The place is modern, clean, and lovely. And the service was hospitable and sweet. read more

Royal Hyderabad - Front - Indian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We've eaten at their other location and glad they have expanded to the west side. Seated quick, server took awhile to arrive. It wasn't busy. Ordered both the Lamb & Chicken Tikka Marsala with Garlic Naan & sodas. The sodas came in cans vs fountain. Food was excellent with a little heat - comfortably so. Like I mentioned earlier service/food was slower than normal especially since there were 8-10 tables with customers. They've only been open for 3 weeks. This may just be a matter of finding their way. We'll be back hopefully to give a better review. read more

The location is new and things are still getting worked out. The food was fantastic. We ordered a dosa, samosa chat and tikka byriani; everything was so flavorful. We ended up taking most of the byriani home and it was just as good as leftovers. Our bill was under $50 which felt reasonable for the quality and quantity. The ambience is a little stark at this point but very comfortable overall. There seemed to be only 3 people working so it seemed like even the cook was bringing food out. We absolutely plan on going again. read more

Great service, amazing food. The butter chicken was a little sweeter than others I have previously had but it was delicious with a small amount of spicy heat. The chicken korma was great, spicy as well. Garlic naan was definitely the way to go! Gulab jamun for dessert was warm, sweet, and very good. Clean restaurant, great lighting, welcoming place. We will be back!. read more

Grand opening night, so you have to forgive them for some operational glitches to work out. The food is fantastic and I'm glad they decided to set up shop on the Westside. read more

To start, the service was sooooo slow. So slow. Ordered palak paneer and was served a bowl with an inch of oil sitting on top. Everything was so oily it was pretty yuck. Spent a good bit of money for greasy food that no one wanted to take home. read more

Went for dinner. Food was good, a little expensive but it seems that Indian food always is a little pricey. Service was good.

Food was amazing I got the butter chicken and it was a 10/10. The garlic naan was delicious. Our kids got the mini noodles with chicken and they were so flavorful. The service was also excellent. They brought out mango smoothie for our kids to try. The restaurant felt cozy yet upscale. We will definitely be going back. read more

This is a little gem tucked in to the shopping area behind CVS on Unser/McMahon. We'd been wanting to try it ever since we saw it being built and finally tried it tonight. The food was so tasty . . . .the service impecccable and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. A plus for me is that it wasn't freezing there . . . I did not need a wrap. Now to the food. . . . I had the butter chicken, which is one of my favorite Indian dishes, and this might have been the best I've ever tasted. My husband had the goat dish, which he said was delicious. We had some butter Naan and enjoyed it with our dishes . . . it was very handy to dip into the very tasty sauces with each meal. Servings were huge. . . . I brought home enough for at least 2, and may 3 more meals. My husband will get at least one more meal out of his left-overs. Some diners at another table had what looked like a very good drink, so I asked our waitress what it was. I can't remember its name, but it's a yogurt/mango drink. I was too full to try it there, so I ordered one to take home. OMGosh . . . what a treat. This place is a little tricky to find, but just do it! You won't be sorry. read more

Excellent food, especially the chicken tikka masala and the raita. Courteous but extremely slow service. For a Friday night it seemed terribly understaffed. Looking forward to dining there again but will definitely bring a book. read more

The food is delicious! Unfortunately it took over an hour to get my to go order. It's a Friday evening, and they are understaffed. I will definitely order from here again, but choose a weekday, and order an hour in advance. read more

Oooooh wheeeeee am I glad to have good Indian food on the Westside. The food was amazing. Special props to the goat vindaloo, chicken korma and garlic naan. Can't wait to come back soon for your biryani and pani puri! read more

Ordered takeout from here last night. They are the same folks that used to run Bawarchi in NE heights now rebranded as Royal Hyderabad. If you like your food frozen and transported from Texas then I guess go there and spend an obscene amount of money for frozen pre cooked food. If you want to try authentic Indian try some of the other places in town that actually cook their food. read more

This spot just opened up near my house and we were so excited to try it. It did not disappoint! We got the basic stuff Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala. For our naan we got chili naan and garlic naan. My 3 year old got fried rice. The food was amazing, the flavor leaving nothing to be desired. The service was excellent and the place had a nice design. Overall this was worth the wait. Can't wait to go back! read more

We got take out of the Chicken Tikka Masala and garlic naan and it was soooo good! The atmosphere was pretty and the staff were very nice! They even gave my daughter water while we waited. This is my new favorite place! read more

So glad we have an Indian Cuisine spot closer to our home, and it's great! Friendly staff, fast service, delicious food for what we've tried so far (Chicken Tikka Masala). Will be recommending and coming back. read more

They need to improve their service immediately. We waited over an hour for just our appetizer (samosas) which came frozen in the middle. Thankfully our entrees arrived soon after but the chicken was a little tough. Throughout our stay there was huge group of delivery drivers waiting at the entrance for orders and some were waiting there longer than us. We've also noticed some customers just leave due to the amount of waiting. Lastly, there were no checkups on our table throughout the night and we felt like we were almost forgotten until our food arrived. We enjoyed the original location, but were severely disappointed to experience this tonight. I would recommend this place once they fix whatever we experienced. read more

Best Indian food in Albuquerque. Fresh and fragrant spices; the dishes are exploding with flavor. You can also pick the spice level of each dish and get some real spicy food if you'd like. read more
