New to Reno and have been searching for a good Indian restaurant. I am happy to say I have found it! Order of Chicken Korma, and Samosas, and it was wonderful. The chicken was flavorful and moist, and the sauce had cashews and raisins. It was delicious! We ordered on Grubhub, and the service was fast. I am so happy to have Royal India! read more

Royal India is one of my go-to spots in Reno. I always enjoy coming here. We get seated quickly every time, which I really appreciate, especially when you're hungry and ready to eat. The food is consistently really good. Everything is flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. The curries are rich and perfectly spiced, the naan is warm and soft, and the sides always complement the meal well. You can tell they put care into the dishes. The service is smooth and efficient, and the overall experience is always enjoyable. It's a reliable spot when you're craving Indian food and want something that hits every time. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to. read more

Royal India - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Food: Savory and delicious every time. We are basic white people so we almost always get the chicken tikka masala with 1-2 spice and jasmine rice with a side of lentils and lots of garlic naan. We probably get this at least once a month. Service: great. Never an issue dining in or ordering for pickup. Ambiance: Nice. Small place. Carpeted like many Indian restaurants, which gives it a very homey, quiet, and warm feel. read more

The royal feast was the perfect option for two people to try multiple dishes. It comes with two appetizers, we added paneer. ( see pics) and it comes with chicken Tandoori, rice and gulab jamun . We added beef vindaloo, chicken korma and Makhani.. these two items seemed to be the same. The gulab jamun was sweet and delicious, so glad we did this plate to try several items, I'd not likely had tried a dessert and I love this one! Great food ! read more

The greatest place to ever exist. The staff are always so kind, the portions are generous and the whole place is amazing! We usually do pick up orders and it always lasts us two days and stays delicious for both! The lady at the front is the sweetest as well. Would die for this place read more

I've always ordered Royal India delivery--but I finally came in person and it was so tasty (as always)! I was impressed by how many people were there even on a Wednesday night. The staff was super friendly and made great recommendations. The sampler appetizer platter was a perfect place to start. Then the butter chicken and sang paneer rocked my world. Totally comforting and flavorful. The ambiance inside is clean and simple. Don't let its location in an odd strip mall fool you, this place is worth the visit. read more

I cannot begin to explain how much I love Royal India!! I am a very happy regular at this location, and I have to say that the mushroom saag is the best I've ever had... Every time I have it!

We eat take out here often. It's what my lady likes. She never had india food before. we have tried other places but she still likes this one very much. Chicken tikka masala and naan can't go wrong! ( spice level 4-5) We have eatin inside. It's nice and cozy. Have no pics of food. But that's ok we know it's good!! read more

I had a fantastic meal from Royal India--perfectly packaged and delivered quickly. Why I Recommend It: Authentic flavors - Medium spice was perfect. Great Chicken Marsala - Tender strips of chicken with amazing flavor. Great value - 5-6 servings for under $70! What I Didn't Love: Paneer Jalfrezi - Good flavors, but not my style. I prefer chili paneer. Great choice for traditional Indian food, generous portions, and variety at a great price! read more

First time trying Indian food and Royal India Cuisine in Reno is Appetizer Platter: samosas (crispy potato pockets), chicken pakora (not spicy, crunchy heaven), veg pakora (my fave, addictive), paneer pakora (fried cheese with a tofu-like texture), Aloo Tikki (crispy potato cakes, soft inside) Main Course: butter chicken (spice level 3, perfect), Aloo Saag (cheese cubes in creamy spinach), garlic naan (soft, garlicky, naan for days!) Drink: Mango Splash (mango juice, vodka, Sprite, lime). Sweet, fresh, dangerously good Everything was amazing and not spicy at all like people warned me. Cozy vibes, friendly staff, perfect for a date or fun night out. Can't wait to go back! Ask about 15% off $50+ read more

This time we ordered garlic naan, saag paneer, and lamb curry. Burst of flavor in every bite! The food is sooo good and not oily like others. The server was very nice too. This is definitely my go-to Indian restaurant whenever we visit Reno! read more

This was my first visit and I'd highly recommend it. I spoke with Richi about my experience with Indian food, and he suggested the Lamb Rogan Josh--it was an excellent choice. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Reno. Price is great and service is great! Also the resturent is neat and spacious read more

I've only experienced one Indian food restaurant my whole life/living here in Reno and let me tell you, Royal India has changed my perspective. The place that I gone to in Midtown I thought was so good until I went here. Their service was so fast too, it felt like the waitress took my order and then came with all the food, it literally felt like 5 minutes but who knows. Their naan bread tasted fresh and not over softened nor dry, the best naan bread I've had so far. It was my first time having a saag paneer and I immediately fell in love with the dish. Their butter curry chicken was absolutely yummy. I wasn't too crazy with their appetizers sampler but that was also different and good. I shall come back here soon! read more

I absolutely love Indian food and this was my first visit to Royal India. Everything they gave us was so delicious and flavorful!

Amazing value for the price, the butter chicken was excellent and the service was professional. This was a nice place to discover for dinner, a lot cheaper than the other restaurants in Reno with bigger portions. Definitely check it out! read more

Royal India - Butter chicken - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This is some of the tastiest Indian food I've had in a long time. Service was standard - not overly friendly, but everything came out quickly. What was great: -LOTS of veggie options -The Naan: texture was amazingly light and crispy. Garlic naan was perfectly garlicky -The Kheer: this was a notch above anything else I've tried in Reno. Creamy without being overly rich, and you do not taste the individual grains of rice. It also wasn't overly sweet, and all the spices melded together in an absolutely delicious way What could be improved: -The Chai: the flavor was good, but there was way too much sugar in the tea - The vibe: there's not much of a vibe inside the restaurant. It's apparent that they'd rather focus their efforts on the food, not the ambiance. The booth we sat in was also a bit small. Two adults could fit comfortably but four would be stretching it. read more

We had a work lunch there recently, and it was a total hit. We ordered a variety of dishes, including curry chicken, butter chicken, and tikka masala. Each dish was absolutely delicious - flavorful, perfectly cooked, and bursting with fresh ingredients. We specifically requested the spice level to be 6, and it was perfect. Perfect balance of spice and spicy but not enough to set your tastebuds on fire. A special shoutout to their garlic naan - it was a crowd-pleaser! Light, fluffy, and packed with garlicky goodness, it was the perfect accompaniment to all the curries. The service was quick. I love the option of calling in the order. We can't wait to visit Royal India again and try more of their menu! read more

Royal India - Rice to go - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We ordered from Royal India through DoorDash, and delivery was on time with a decent amount of rice included. Unfortunately, the flavors were disappointing. The chicken tasted a bit off -- almost like it was older or frozen low quality slop-- so I didn't end up eating it. The peas and paneer dish was okay, but overall, everything had a very tomato-heavy flavor that reminded me more of something from Trader Joe's than authentic, creamy, rich Indian cuisine. It wasn't bad enough to send back, but it definitely wasn't the kind of Indian food I enjoy. I regret ordering it and wouldn't come back. read more

Wow! What a delicious lunch!!! A bit pricey but well worth it. Tikka masala, vindaloo, garlic naan, Indian beer and wine. The service was impeccable with our server suggesting delicious plates of food and pairing our food and drinks. We were alone in the restaurant around 11am which is perfect; however, I imagine during busier times, the ambience is amazing. In all, a very pleasant experience! read more

Visiting with my daughter and me and her friends came here for dinner. They love going here so they wanted to go for dinner. We had such great service and all the food was PERFECTION! Everything was incredible!!! The garlic naan, yummy! Butter chicken was delicious! Everyone enjoyed the meal and the drinks! You can tell it's a family owned restaurant and they take pride in providing a family style ambience which is appreciated. We felt like family. Thank you for a great dinner! read more

Perfect restaurant. I have been eating here regularly for the last three years. I've been here into the closing hours of the night on several occasions. My go to order was the lamb mushroom [spicy] with a side of the indian spice. I've gotten to know the owners personally and they have always had great recommendations. It has gotten to the point where I come with groups of friends and all of them enjoy their individual choices. Chicken pakora is my favorite appetizer, bhatura is my preferred side instead of naan. You will not regret eating here, it is the best indian food I've had in my life and it has been great to feel like a part of the close knit group here every meal. 10 out of 10 read more

I've been loving ordering from Royal India on DoorDash! The serving size of the butter chicken and rice is plenty to feed multiple people. It always comes hot and extremely flavorful! Absolutely delicious. Last time we ordered, we added naan and a mango lassi. The naan was fresh and tasty. The mango lassi didn't really taste of mango, more just yogurt flavor and also was not even slightly cold. If we have leftovers from Royal India, it always reheat excellent. We've also come in before and really enjoyed our experience as well. Highly recommend! read more

It took me a while to muster up the courage to write this review, I have always been a fan of Royal! So many great meals, delicious flavors spread across a palette of Indian cuisine. A buddy of mine and I would stop in one Saturday evening and unfortunately I left a tad bit underwhelmed. My friend Yasir likes spicy food. He raves about it. One day, if you run into a Yasir around town, ask him if spice is life. If his eyes light up and he says spice is life, you'll know it's him. This visit, I told him to go all in, whatever the spice level you want for this meal, go for it! So, as always the place is busy, but the staff are courteous, focused on providing the most efficient service they can considering. The restaurant goers are always lively, enjoying themselves, great for couples and families. The place carries your usual busy restaurant ambiance. I really enjoy them as they cater to take out and dine-in with the utmost care and professionalism. Yasir decided to order some Fire naan which I never had, a chili stuffed naan bread, Lamb Biryan which was Basmati rice cooked with lamb cubes, fresh peas, nuts & raisin, Goat Vindaloo which consisted of goat simmered with potatoes in a tangy hot sauce. We also ordered Chicken Sagg Paneer which is spinach cooked with chicken. The spice level for all of these dishes was about a 4. The Fire naan, I didn't enjoy unfortunately. Their Traditional naan is so much better in my opinion. Their Garlic naan is great too! Buttery and rich with a delicious garlic flavor. This naan was a bit chalky to say the least. The Lamb was good, but seemed to lack any type of range in flavor aside from what was added to make it spicy. I'm thinking maybe go 3 next time? 2? The Chicken Sagg was good and the Goat was ok, but again the spice used seemed to be so pronounced, you couldn't really enjoy the flavor of the meat or even the sauce they made it with. It wasn't hot-hot just... there, making you wish you had some other herb or spice to taste. Overall, this wasn't what I expected. I couldn't leave my wife out though and I ended up bringing a few items home for her to eat which she enjoyed like the Bindi Masala which is cooked Okra with spices, Garlic naan and Butter chicken, spice level a 2. These are always our go to's and always hit the spot. Looking back, I'm bummed I had this experience dining in, but I'll still stop by every once in a while and I'll still order take out. I'd never let one undesirable visit change my heart about a place I've continuously enjoyed. Still, give them a try, be thoughtful in your selection and spice levels. If you want it hot, go 3 which is mild, a spicy flavor without heat, 2. Keep an open mind to try new things and you may have a better experience than I did here tonight and as always -- it's all love. I just hope for a better experience next time. read more

My order was called over the phone and picked up in store. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala - Extra Spicy (level 6) The flavor of the tikka masala was very good compared to the others ive tried in town. It also came with a good amount rice along side with my order which was great. My only complaints are the spice level and the service provided. The guy at the counter was not friendly and made it seem like I was burden being there. He also didn't even tell me the total price and simply waved at the card reader for me to put in my credit card. For the spice, it was not spicy enough. I got the hottest level available and it barley had any spice to it. I wonder if the order was made wrong or if that is their actual spice level. I also found this on the pricey side as well. One order of chicken tikka masala came out to $20 after tax. This may be similar to other Indian restaurants but I am not sure. Personally, I will try another Indian cuisine before going back to this one read more

Finally got to try out Royal India! We got the pretty common items like chicken tandoori and chicken tikka masala, and they were both very flavorful and delicious. I tried the dal soup, that was at a level 6 (extra spicy) spice, and it was delicious too. Definitely coming back to try other dishes and more! The service was straightforward, there were some slight pauses when we were waiting for menus and for the check, but no biggie. The restaurant itself is clean and well themed, with plenty of seating for this size of restaurant. Overall, we will be coming back again, we enjoyed the food and our time here. read more

We came to Reno on ski vacation and happen to come here for lunch (without much expectation as we live in Fremont) . We were blown away with the service from Mr. Rishi. Service is super awesome. My son is allergic to egg and by chance, one of the disc had used eggs in preparation even though in traces. Staff was very concerned and they (Rishi) informed as they got to know about the allergic situation. Things were in control. What was impressive to me that they were genuinely cognizant and concerned about it. They even offered to not charge for the lunch at all but we insisted and paid. Their concern and care was genuine and we came back all the day we stayed there. 10 stars from our side! It is the go to place for Indian food. read more

Very good curry and the naan is freshly cooked. There is almost a whole page in the menu of different breads. Service was fast and super friendly, he even better me 15% off my bill if I could guess between my lamb and beef curry,I got them wrong oh well maybe next time. Seating was nice with the booths and lighting was ok, very clean dining area. read more

The FISH SAAG was amazing! What a wonderfully assertive fish flavor! Thank you the host was kind, very nice atmosphere.

The saag paneer is so silky, creamy and buttery that I thought I was taking a bite of a plate for a king. The paneer is thickly sliced and very fresh, obviously this place cooks with passion! I would take my boyfriend's Indian parents here to impress them. I highly recommend this place! read more

Love this place! We're normally boring & just get butter chicken whenever we eat Indian. We decided to try the Royal India Special tonight & wow!! My new favorite dish is their Matar Paneer & my boyfriend loved the lamb curry. I have no clue what was in those fritters but I ate all of them by myself. LOL. Would highly recommend this spot! I should've taken pictures but we were too hungry & it smelled tooooooo good! 11/10 read more

I'm clearly on an Indian food kick. Wanted to try this place we ordered online with postmates. We got the Chicken Tikka Masala and I loved the options of different heat level. I sadly am a wuss and can't do spicy anything. So we got mild, it had a nice kick to it! But keep in mind my friends joke that ketchup is hot for me.. so it's probably not spicy to anyone but me. We also got the garlic Naan. Delicious!!! I wish I ordered more! One thing I love about this place compared to Taste of India, was the rice from here is more like fried rice, so veggies mixed in. Which I love my veggies. Also I saw they had a mango lassi. Never had one in my life was very interested in the fact it's made with rose water. Yum! I loved it! We only ordered one and me and the bf fought over it. I'd love to try a strawberry one if that's a thing. Anyways, I loved this place. And we had so much extra, it will be my food for the next fews days! My taste buds and stomach are very happy. read more

Royal India - I always forget to take before pictures. I was too hungry! - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Dining like royalty! That's what I told my friend as our table of two became covered to the brim! I let my friend know that aside from working with a family that offered me Indian food I had never had the experience. But in studying Yelp reviews and pictures and talking with my BFF, I had a good size list and was excited to venture! We ordered two Punjabi Lassi to celebrate some good changes! The waiter informed us that he helped adapt the drink but that it would be in liquid versus blended. We both were good with that, and ultimately feel in love with the drink. Started with Keema Samosa, Panner Bhatura, Garlic Naan, and had Butter Chicken as the main entree. The thing was once one plate came out, they all kind of came out lol! So, we were constantly shuffling our plates which was no biggie. Everything that I tried I absolutely loved (for a newbie). I think the one item I may reconsider is the Panner Bhatura in that it was more simple to me. But my favorites were the Naan and the Keema Samosa. Our waiter was hilarious and so pleasant and accommodating to splitting our bill. We showed up and it was just the two of us at 5:20 p.m. but by the time we left the whole area was filled to the brim with families and guests. They were seriously hustling but providing great customer service. I will totally come back and already can't wait to try new food items! read more

Went for lunch service was ok Inside was nice and clean food came out not in order as it should lamb vindaloo ,butter chicken and mix tandoori came first. The naan is usually served first in most restaurants but was late and food got cold spice tea never arrived even I reminded the waiter that we haven't received the naan and tea.i noticed our naan was getting served to another customer who arrived after us which was odd. The mix tandoori was best tasting mango mojito tastes very sweet and fruity.also noticed they seem to cater to white folks more which seems to be their target audience.
