Yesterday met up with some college (4) friends at Royal Spice in Lithicum Heights for late lunch. First time there for all of us and the food was flavorful and plentiful enough that we all had leftovers to take home. Not crowded for a Saturday and seated right away. They were pretty busy at least for delivery that it took a bit for our order but maybe because we were busy chatting and reminiscing. Couple of us had mango lassi sparkler - we enjoyed it and one ordered a non-alcoholic mango lassi and ended up not enjoying it - too yogurty for her. For the appetizer: chicken momo (dumpling) and samosa. Not bad! Main meal, I had the mixed platter which was very plentiful and flavorful, butter chicken mild and medium spice for two of the gals, and finally shrimp curry medium for the 4th gal. We highly recommended the very garlicky naan . The only negative I would say is that they were going to charge for extra sauce for my mixed platter. Ambiance was ok but a tad dark. read more

Royal Spice - Round 2... 19 crimes red wine & Kathmandu kiss - Indian Near Me - Linthicum Heights, Maryland

I was really craving Indian food, and after finding that many other places were closed, I discovered this gem nearby. From the moment we arrived, I was impressed by the convenient and ample parking, so no stress about finding a spot. We were warmly greeted at the door and promptly seated. The restaurant was relatively quiet, with only a few other diners at the time, which made the experience feel even more intimate, honestly we came in sweats and was not ready for this. There was soft, soothing music played in the background, and the interior was absolutely beautiful. I also appreciated that the bar was situated on the other side of the space, keeping the dining area cozy and focused. For our meal, we ordered Butter Chicken, a Naan Basket, Chicken Vindaloo, and two Mango Lassis. Although it may not seem like a large order, the portions were just right, and every bite was packed with flavor. The Butter Chicken was creamy and perfectly spiced, the naan was fresh and warm, we ordered another one that is how good those naan were, and the Vindaloo had a satisfying kick. To top it off, the Mango Lassis were rich and refreshing. To this day, I find myself dreaming of going back. For a first-time visit, it completely exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. read more

I love coming here for Indian/Nepalese food. The butter chicken is good and their saag is always good (recommend the chicken, if you're not a paneer person). Every table gets a basket of papadum-like chips and an array of dips. My friends also like the Momo (dumplings) with the curry sauce. I always need to order the garlic naan. The restaurant is located in an odd spot, but there is plenty of parking. Interior is clean with a lot of tables and booths. Service is always friendly and will chat you up if they have the time. read more

The Avengers' Official HQ for Nepalese & Indian Cuisine Rating: 5+ Infinity Stones! Because "5 stars" can't handle this level of greatness! If the Avengers had a secret culinary hideout before heading into battle, Royal Spice would be it. And let me tell you, this place delivers food worthy of Mjolnir itself! And only those truly worthy of flavor can appreciate what's happening here. Ambience : Tony Stark Would Approve" First off, the vibes are immaculate. Think modern elegance meets cozy hideaway. Just as if Wakanda designed a quiet booth for superheroes trying to lay low (or carbo-load before taking on Thanos). Soft lighting, comfortable seating, and just the right amount of chill. We went on a weeknight and it felt like a private dinner party, minus Nick Fury popping out of the shadows. Service "Captain America-Level Hospitality" Service was on point. Falcon-level smooth, Spidey-level attentive. Checked on us multiple times, had great recommendations like they knew our taste buds better than Doctor Strange knows the multiverse. No need to break out the Hulk to get attention. they were always one step ahead. Food -- "Infinity War on My Taste Buds (In a Good Way)" Now, let's talk food--because WOW. We went full Nepali-style dumplings (momos) and other Nepali protein dishes that could make Thor drop his hammer like its hammer time in the 90s (well, he went bankrupt, so maybe not a good analogy? Eek). Each bite was a perfect combo of spice, flavor, and magic, like a culinary Tesseract exploded in the kitchen (without the world-ending consequences). But here's the kicker: I came back months later on another mission (aka business trip) and ordered delivery TWO days in a row. And get this: even delivered, the food was still next-level epic. Most restaurants struggle to survive delivery travel, but Royal Spice? It's like they put the Time Stone on their food and froze it at peak perfection. Also, their Indian dishes? Let me tell you as someone who's done the full circuit in Southern California's Little India? this place holds its own and might just win in a face-off. And that's saying something because I've had more Indian food than Thor's had beers. Final Verdict: "Endgame-Level Epic" Hands down, one of the best Nepalese/Indian restaurants I've ever experienced, and that's coming from a seasoned food Avenger who's toured more than one foodie battlefield internationally. If you're anywhere near BWI, assemble your team and head to Royal Spice. Or at least get delivery before you take flight on your next mission. Final Rating: 5+ stars (or should I say, 5+ Infinity Stones). Royal Spice: You've officially earned your place on the Avengers' culinary roster. read more

Service was great and the food was fresh and delicious!!!!!!! One thing I had never tried bedtime and it was super tasty, was the mango lassi sparkler (alcoholic drink). It was so good, but heavy. read more

You know when a restaurant is so good that you don't want to write a review because you're afraid it will become too popular and then the food quality will go down to keep up with the demand? Ugh this is what I'm struggling with. This place is amazing. We go for dinner as often as we can and we have NEVER had a bad experience. The food is always flavorful and is actually spicy when you ask for it to be. Our favorites are the mattar paneer, saag paneer, somosa chaat, vegetable pakoras, daal soup, aloo gobi, garlic naan and bhibdi masala. This place is so good it puts many, many Indian restaurants around here to shame. The chef is amazing and the staff are friendly. If you like ACTUAL flavor this place is somewhere you'll want to go. read more

Ambiance is casual. There is another section to the restaurant with a bar. This food review is based on their buffet. A very small buffet, but with enough choices for lunch, which includes chicken and goat. The buffet price is extremely reasonable. The dishes all had good flavors. There wasn't a dish we didn't like. It seems to be popular amongst the locals in the area. Service was simple. read more

This place is great for Indian and Nepalese dishes. The saag paneer is great, this time we tried it with lamb. I think the chicken saag is much better than the lamb, but both are good. Highly recommend getting the saag dishes with at least medium spice. The Chow mien is delicious! The drinks and lunch buffet are always a hit with my friends! read more

The place to go for Indian cuisine. The Momo is fantastic. The butter chicken is amazing. So much delicious food. Haven't had anything I didn't like yet! read more

One of the best Indian meals we have eaten in a long time. The vegetable curry was spiced perfectly. Often times you ask for low heat and it ends up being too spicy to enjoy, but they were very considerate with their spice level. It had a nice back-heat without burning your tongue. The vegetable kofta had a smooth & creamy sauce, and the cheese croquettes were not too mushy. The naan was toasted perfectly and not greasy (I hate greasy naan!!). The wait staff was very attentive and appreciative. If I would change anything about the restaurant, the lighting is very harsh. If that's all there's to complain about, you know you've had a great meal! read more

Loved their lunch buffet. Fresh poppadom was an added surprise to all the standard offerings. The chicken soup was very flavorful. As a older while guy, I was in the minority which is a good thing. read more

The food here is very good and cooked with lots of spice and flavor. In addition, it's reasonably priced for the portion. I loved my eggplant and my friends liked their chicken curry and goat saag (beware that they are cooked and served with bones). The butter naan was absolutely amazing as well. However, be prepared to wait. We came for dinner and waited almost 45 minutes for our entrees after ordering. The restaurant wasn't even full but it seems that they cook your meal to order. If we had known in advance, we wouldn't have been as disappointed by how long we had to wait. read more

Royal Spice greets you with a kind welcome. Water is brought to the table and they allow you time to review the menu. The restaurant has cool dark colors and dim lighting to for a more casual dinner experience. The food options were super tasty and tender. I was surprised of how flavor the chicken was and literally cooked as close to perfection as possible. I did try a signature cocktail which was also well made; unfortunately, I did not get any photos before it was gone. While dining in I noticed several couriers arriving to make delivers which is a good sign. Please go try for yourself and experience a taste of Nepal. read more

This might be my new favorite restaurant!! We loved everything we had and highly recommend y'all to go check them out! Great ambiance, server was super nice and constantly checked up on us! when we walked in the first thing that was served was deep-fried papad with three chutneys. Then came the food. We had: 1-goat sekuwa- this was not on the menu we had to ask for it. Highly recommended it! little chewy, but the marination was on point! 10/10 2-chicken chowmein- on a scale, we asked for spicy and it was super tolerable and very delicious! Highly recommend it! 10/10 3- jhol momo- jhol was different but very tasty! hot tomatoe based soup. It does not have timur or peanut base (or aleast you can't taste it) but nontheless veryy good!! 4- steam momo- classic, filling was very good and achar was tasty! 5- they also have bar with various drinks. We got the lychee martini. Take advantage of their happy hours! read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. We called prior to arriving to confirm what time the dining area closed. We were assured we could come as they didn't close until 10 PM. We arrived at about 8:45. The food was good but the customer service was such a turn off which is why I'm giving it two stars. We were rushed our entire meal. Not sure if they were anxious to close because it was a Friday but to be rushed to stuff down my food is unacceptable. The person tending to us failed to give us refills of water and allow us to finish our meal prior to removing plates from the table. We asked for straws for our drink and only received one. They had the audacity to recommend an 18% tip despite the fact that no alcohol was ordered. It was not a welcoming feeling at all and I doubt I'll be back anytime soon for take out but dining in isn't an option for me. read more

An experience and probably my top 3 sleepers in MD. Like a Caribbean chipotle if you can imagine it. People come in for a reason as the smell and variety hit all flavors and needs you want. They everything for everybody and they hire young black men and women who are doing a great job at providing excellent service in a fast paced environment. Just impressive all the way around! #followthefatboy on IG:EATFATBOY read more

Always great food and service. Highly recommend this dine in or takeout. The tikki masala and naan are the best in the area.

Food was delicious, portions were plentiful, spices were flavorful, customer service can use a little help...

I've been craving Indian food for a while, and it was time to finally cave! This is a new place for me, and I'm glad we tried it out. Our pickup order was ready pretty quickly given the size/time of day, and the staff were super friendly! The portions were HUGE! You get an individual container of rice per main dish that you order, and they are the same size! We had everything at the medium spice level, but it did vary among each of the dishes. The chicken saag was MUCH more spicy than the chicken korma or chicken tikka masala! My guess is this is because the latter two are cream sauces, so they have more fat to cut the heat. Regardless, all three were very delicious! My personal favorite out of everything was the chicken korma. It had a bit of sweetness to it, and any type of sweet/savory combo immediately has my vote. The chicken tikka masala tasted a little more tomato-y than other chicken tikka masalas I've had, but overall the same flavor we know and love. I've never tried saag before, and I really enjoyed it! The spice was just a little too much for me on that one - it was a sip of water after every few bites situation. The garlic naan was nice and warm, and we had plenty of it for one order. I just realized as I was writing this review we thought we were eating the C-momos, but orderer regular chicken momos. Obviously none of us noticed the mistake and we really enjoyed the dumplings (especially with the sauce!). They're a nice size and very flavorful. I definitely want to try this place out a second time and order some of the vegetarian dishes since I always seem to forget about them - and to try the C-momos! read more

Food and service was amazinghat all vegetables and garlic naan...anxious to come back and try the buffet!

The food was a 10/10 ! The service could have been better but all in all the food was hot and fresh I have zero complaints!

Very good flavors but dang, lower the prices 4$ per dish. Expect to pay 22$ per dish without obligatory tip. I could have had an appetizer as well. 5/5 for flavor 3/5 for value read more

Where do I start... This place really lived up to its reviews. The wife and I were in town for the weekend for business and decided to try Royal Spice. Let me say they did not disappoint. First food that came out was the Papadum and I could eat them all day. The texture was amazing not too hard and not too soft just right. We also ordered the tandoori wings for the appetizer. When I tell you there was flavor in every bite. I would never lie to you lol. Oh did I mention I only like drums and my wife likes flats. I didn't even mention that to the host and they still made it an even mix. The attention to details..wow. For the entrée my wife ordered the butter chicken, I ordered the lamb chops Masala, and our bread of choice was the Garlic Naan. The lamb was perfectly cooked, the rice was made to perfection, not overcooked or uncooked, just right. I'm not a bread person but the garlic naan, I couldn't get enough. I'm so full I wrote this long review cause I cannot get up and go to my car yet. As far as ambiance this place is very welcoming and they definitely have the confidence you're going to love their restaurant and more importantly their food. Best Indian food I've ever had. read more

We decided to try something new and came across this gem. I have always been a fan of Indian food and Royal Spice did not disappoint. The ambiance is very relaxing and quaint. They do have a full bar if you are looking to just relax with a drink after a long day. We opted to be seated at the booth in the restaurant area. The server was very accommodating and recommended the Tandoori chicken as an appetizer. We ordered the lamb chop masala, butter chicken, and garlic naan as our entree. As we waited for our appetizer, the server served us complementary papadum with three different options for dips. I particularly loved the papadum as they had so much flavor while still being lighter than a tortilla chip. The tandoori chicken was served with a yogurt based dip that complimented the flavor of the chicken. The lamb chops and butter chicken were cooked to perfection as they were so tender and full of flavor in every bite. Do not skip the garlic naan, it is to die for. They served everything to us hot as if they just came off the stove. If you're ever in the area do not skip out on this gem. The food is authentic and is a five star experience. read more

A coworker and I had the lunch Buffet. Firstly, great deal. All you can eat for ~ $18/person. That's reasonable for today's prices. I was skeptical of the goat curry as I have not enjoyed goat dishes in the past. THIS goat curry was out of this world! It was amazing! Totally changed my opinion of goat dishes. I tried some of the other dishes. They were good but nothing compared to the goat curry. Friendly and respectful service. Will definitely eat here again in the future! read more

Was in town for work and I live where there aren't many options for international cuisine. Stopped here for dinner. Have had Indian before but never Nepalese. Was delicious! Had a cocktail with coconut rum and passion fruit - YUMMY. Had shrimp saag for dinner because it is one of my favorite Indian dishes. Tasty with a bit of heat without being overwhelming Also wanted to try an authentic Nepalese dish so had the bhatmas sadeko and WOW. Very interesting with a pleasant warm tingling in my mouth from the mustard oil and some extra heat from some sliced chilis. Now I'll be craving this dish Server was also good about alerting us about whether certain dishes were saucy or not or might otherwise not be what we expect so we wouldn't be surprised. Definitely coming back here if I'm ever back in the area read more

I wouldn't recommend this spot at all for the buffet. I didn't order off menu only for the buffet which was piss poor and a bit expensive considering the quality. There dang near was NO buffet. It was slim pickings. Thebuffet starts around 1130 and I got here around 12 and there was a handful of rice, 2 pieces of naan, a scoop or so of saag, and just the creamy sauciness of chicken Tikka and the goat. I told the manager after a half hour and he came back out with about 8 pieces of naan and a bowl of rice. Nothing else was refilled. However, the naan and kheer was top notch. That's the only good thing that I liked about this experience. read more
