I can barely put how good this place is I into words their food is extraordinary their service is even better the atmosphere is an11/10 my server Sam was really nice. If I was to ever recommend a good Indian food place to any one it would be the royal tandoor and it's relatively cheep to I got two full entrées two drinks two different types of nan and appetizer and it was like 70 bucks. overall it has to be one of my favorite spots to go if I could I would rate it a 50/5 I truly recommend this place read more

Royal Tandoor is a fantastic restaurant with delicious food and exceptionally friendly staff. The restaurant is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, making it a great place to bring the whole family. Every dish we tried was flavorful and well prepared. Be sure to try the mango lassi - it was absolutely excellent and the perfect complement to the meal. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back! Highly recommended for anyone looking for great Indian cuisine and outstanding service. read more

We have family in Port Orchard and we love Indian food. It was nice to see that the old Cosmo's place is now Royal Tandoor. The restaurant is spacious- tons of seating. We arrived right at noon for lunch. There was 8 in our party and the service was very attentive. Naan was delicious! I tried the butter chicken- it wasn't my favorite- not as flavorful as other butter chickens I've had. But overall- everyone seemed really happy with their food. Portion sizes are great and rice is included. Highly recommend. read more

Royal Tandoor - Butter chicken - Indian Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

The food Is phenomenal! The service is excellent! The people who work there are all very nice. I will definitely be back!!!!

I saw this place pop up on Yelp and I don't think there is much Indian food in Port Orchard. The staff was very kind and there was a decent number of people sitting in the restaurant for a late lunch. Ordered the Chicken Vindaloo, Butter Chicken, and chili onion naan. Each curry came with rice that was nicely fragrant. You get to choose your spice level, so we chose 7/6 for our dishes. I personally could have gone spicier. My favorite was the Chicken Vindaloo. There was so much depth in flavor to the dish and had that addicting taste. The butter chicken was also good (that was ordered at a 6 level spice), but I think because it's creamy, I could have gone spicier. In both curries, there is a decent amount of protein. The naan like the other reviews say is thin, but has a nice crisp to it and is still very good. I'm giving this 5 stars in comparission to other spots in Port Orchard. If it were in an area that perhaps had more Indian food, then I might give it a 4.5. I will definitely be coming back though. read more

Royal Tandoor - Butter chicken, Garlic Chili Naan, Chicken Vindaloo, 2 servings of rice (1 per curry) - Indian Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

If you are local then you know this is what is now in the building of what was a beloved and long-standing Italian deli/restaurant. They haven't made a lot of changes to the interior as of yet - changed out the wall décor and the front glass cases are now filled with beer and wine (no doubt some beer from India, didn't look closely). I was a little bit disappointed with the state of the women's bathroom (the toilet paper was not refilled), and I wish our plates had been removed a bit quicker (it was piling up); otherwise, we had a nice time and appreciated the politeness of the staff. The food was good all around. We tried almost every protein - tofu, chicken, lamb, fish - and all was tasty. The biriyani, nice and moist. The sauces just as spicy or not spicy as you request. The garlic naan - yum. read more

The food here is amazing! I haven't had curry this good in 6 years. We ordered the chicken tikka and butter chicken and the Lamb Korma. The chicken and lamb were so tender it was no chore to chew it. I would order the butter chicken 100 more times. The ambiance is a little lacking as it looks almost exactly like the Italian place that used to be there before the Royal Tandoor moved in. Whatever the ambiance lacks it makes up for in food! The service was great, our server was awesome at making suggestions and they are so very friendly. read more

The best Indian food on this side of the water. Owners and staff are welcoming and friendly. The price of the food is priced very reasonable (~$15/ plate). The Chicken Marsala (breast so can be a little dry) was creamy and the Chicken Tandoori was very flavorful. The Garlic Naan Bread was good, a bit crispy for me but still very good. The restaurant is large but the parking is small, I heard some ppl needed to park in the Staples parking lot. They have Indian beer you can take to go (~$11 for large bottle)along with a variety of wines. The facility was very clean and when someone left, staff was quick to wipe the space down. They can host large parties and it was spacious enough for someone to read a book in the corner table. Highly recommend and will be making my way back again to try other dishes. read more

I had an outstanding experience here! From the reception to the service and food. I orderd samosas (2 per order) and they were perfect! The sauces were excellent too. Then the chicken tikka masala, and it too was outstanding. I put it on the fluffiest rice and devoured the entire dish. I will be back here as soon as possible to try more delish food! read more

Royal Tandoor - Samosas! - Indian Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

I was surprised to find an Indian restaurant nearby. I was surprised at how good the food was. My experience with Indian food is from years in the San Francisco Bay Area. - The mango lassi was thick and not things by too much juice. - The samosas looked and tasted handmade. The crust wasn't too thin or great. - The garlic naan was thinner than I'm used to, but still very good. - The chicken vindaloo had large pieces. Although i asked for spice level of 10, it was mild to me. But that's just me. The servings were enough for two people, so I had enough for dinner. I definitely need to go back to try their other items. read more

My vote for best restaurant in Port Orchard! Everything I've had is great and the people who run it are super nice and helpful.

Yummy! I had chicken korma for the first time and it is so tender and creamy!!! I always get the channa masala and it is equally good. This place should be way busier. Clean. The staff are so friendly and the price is just right. Great quality. I'm so happy port orchard has a great Indian restaurant now! read more

Great Indian food in Port Orchard with friendly service. We tried their coconut curry and Tikka masala and both were great, their rice is also nice and fragrant. We didn't care as much on the naan, it was super crispy and way too thin, it could use a bit more fluffiness. Otherwise, definitely a nice place to go and eat out, would definitely come back. read more

Royal Tandoor - Tikka and coconut curry - Indian Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

Glad to see another nice family has taken over this spot. Server was very gracious and helpful. Proved very reasonable, and we had leftovers! Chicken tikka masala: here there is improvement. Every other place I've had it, they use their tandoori chicken, which has a nice char. Chicken in this one was cubed and rather tasteless. Curry special, lamb: good spices and flavor with tender lamb. Would get again Malai kofta: first time having this dish. Expected more veggies in the kofta, but overall a good dish. Heavy coriander flavor. All dishes come with rice which had good flavor in it, which was nice! Had a case up front with beer and wine, but nothing on the menu? So no idea price point or availability on that. We will be back. read more

So happy to have discovered this spot. Had the goat vindaloo and it was wonderful. Will for sure be a regular at this spot.

The only thing I'm upset about is that I didn't take a picture of the wonderful food we had tonight. The butter chicken, garlic naan, and samosa's were all perfectly made and SO delicious. I've had lots of curry in my time and I will say this was probably my favorite one yet. Thank you for the wonderful meal and look forward to coming back! The service was quick and tidy and the ambiance of the place was great as well. A wonderful use of the old Cosmos and welcomed in Port Orchard! Thank you! read more

We have had Delicious, fresh food and great service each time we have been to Royal Tandoor. We like to try a new dish every time and have enjoyed them all. We like a milder spice level and they always ask when we order what we would like for spice and it has been perfect. It's wonderful to have this restaurant in Port Orchard. read more

Me and my cousins were so excited to try this place and it did not disappoint. The food was so good. The service was great. It wasn't loud. Everyone there kept to a minimum in terms of volume and I think me and my brother fan-girling over how good the food was might have been the most noise in there.(sorry.) Also the spice levels were immaculate. We like spice in this family. The naan, including the plain had an amazing smoky flavor. 10/10 would go again. read more

Royal Tandoor - Butter chicken, spice level 6. Tikka masala. Lamb. Spice level 4. Chicken coconut curry, spice level 6. - Indian Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

I'm a fairly picky eater of Indian food thanks to having Punjabi roommates for three years that introduced me to excellent Indian food. This one passes the test. The service was great. Quick, attentive and friendly. The Palak Paneer was bomb...of course mixed with some great garlic Naan. Chicken Vindaloo and samosas were also great. I have no complaints and will definitley be returning. PS. I don't think they have a buffet and in my book that's a big plus. read more

Couldn't give 5 because first time here and didn't order properly. Wife and grandson shared the chicken tikka Marsala and liked it. My lamb dish was a 5 supposedly but was too spicy for me. The garlic naan was really good. They didn't change much from Cosmos but was still fine although if they do well an upgrade would make the ambiance better. I'm sure we'll try again in the future. read more

Oh, my yummy-ness! The food is so delicious! Generous portions, flavorful, with spice levels from 1-10. Right up there with the other top rated Indian restaurants, and much closer to home. In the former Cosmos building. The parking lot can be crowded, that's how popular this new place is. Overflow parking is in the Staples lot, closest to the restaurant. I've been here twice, once with my hubby, another with 7 others. We made a reservation, and the table was ready for us. The wait staff was friendly and on point. read more

I have dined at Royal Tandoor twice now, once for lunch and once for dinner and both experiences were exceptional! I am so happy to see this establishment doing so well in Port Orchard and have heard and read nothing but wonderful things about it since it opened. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan and was extremely pleased both times. It came out quickly, tasted amazing, was a large portion, and is priced very fairly. The service is quick, friendly and attentive. The inside of the restaurant is perfect for any group of people, for lunch or dinner. We will definitely come back! read more

Its not often i see a vegan section in an Indian menu. I was very excited and pleased. Royal Tandoor is delicious! I called in an order for takeout of their Aloo Banigan and parathas. They do their spicy level on a scale of 1 -10. I ordered a 4, thinking it would be more of a medium spicy, but it was very mild. The rice was lightly spiced with bay leaves and cumin seeds. The Aloo Banigan had giant chunks of eggplant, potatoes and peppers. The parathas were also wonderfully flavorful, stuffed with potatoes and peas. Everything was full of flavor. Royal Tandoor is a wonderful addition to the community. read more

So, first and foremost, I would come back to this place for the Masala Chai alone. It by itself is an experience like drinking a good wine and easily better than any coffee I've ever had. I would switch to tea for this. But, there is of course also the food. The Lamb Roganjosh is a fantastic curry that is reminiscent of a well spiced roast beef, soft and tender, bursting with flavor and the sauce is a savory sweet almost gravy. The rice served does not disappoint either, it tastes so good you could eat it by itself, flavored with cumin and a bit of salt I think and it does not stick together. The Onion Kulcha is a stuffed naan bread with onions and spices, absolutely fantastic by itself but even better when dipped in the curry. Now, I am not one for spice normally because of certain health issues but my brothers 5/10 spice level curry smelled so good I had to try it. They know how to spice their food, perfectly. It was hot but not for the point of heat, you could still enjoy all the flavors whilst in pain. Lastly, the Gulab Jamun, a pair of deep fried dough balls in a small bowl of sweetened rose water. The best way I can describe it is like the taste of flan over vanilla ice cream but it's just bread. Not cloyingly sweet and yet the flavor stays with you for quite a while. I think my only tiny complaint was the service time, this place is going to need a helluva lot more servers for Friday through Sunday. read more

It's funny - the more I go to this place the less I like it. I think we were just so desperate for good Indian food in this food desert, we overreacted. Everything is decent- the curries, naan (garlic is good) and chicken tikkan masala are all fine- just not great. The heat is also a bit misleading - more spice than advertised. Good to have choices, but we still need to go to Tacoma or Seattle to be wowed. read more

What a delightful place! We were sad to see one of our go-to spots shutting down. And when we heard it would be Indian, we were cautiously optimistic. We were surprised at the tremendous quality we received the first time and a dozen more. We've normally gone to Gig Harbor, but now we have it right in our backyard. Lovely people are attentive to every need. And the food is remarkable. Bright and fresh, yet flavors meld together with spices in each dish. Butter chicken is always a go-to. But a nice surprise is the chicken and mushroom curry. My wife "made" me try it. This place is GREAT for families; all of our grandkids (at least ten that are 4-13 years old) LOVE TO go. Each has their own favorites and gets whatever spice level they like. Make this your go-to, as well - you will be rewarded. read more

A new Port Orchard favorite! I honestly wasn't sure how much I like Indian food, but a friend of mine wanted to try this restaurant so I went with her. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly by several different employees who walked us to our table. I was truly thrilled with the level of service we received during our visit as that seems to be lacking with many restaurants lately, I ordered the garlic naan and coconut shrimp curry with zero spice because I didn't want it too spicy, next time I would go up a couple notches. The flavor of the curry was fantastic. They have vegan and gluten free options as well. I will definitely be back with my husband soon and highly recommend everyone to give them a try! read more

Great food! Love the take out in a place where you wouldn't expect such great Indian food. Love the saag paneer.

We finally got to visit the Royal Tandoor in Port Orchard and wow it did not disappoint. Excellent service, great atmosphere, and plenty of delicious leftovers ....We ordered the Samosa for appetizer, Coconut Curry w/Lamb, Mushroom Chicken Curry, Garlic Naan, and Masala Chai... so much delicious food! We usually like spicy food and tried the dishes made at the 5 level of heat. I will try 7 next time and my husband will probably go for a 10. We will definitely be going back! read more

PROS: Clean restaurant with friendly service and staff who checked in on us frequently. Fair selection of Indian dishes to choose from. CONS: Was served samosas that were still frozen in the middle and after being given a new plate, it was still partially frozen. We also waited ~1 hour until our food was served. read more

I was really excited to have an Indian place in Port Orchard. We went a day or two after they opened. They replaced a much loved restaurant in the community. They did a slight remodel to include Indian style artwork. They had nice music, but not the typical sitar music that plays in many Indian restaurants. It is a nice place to go on a date. The food was excellent, we had somosas, vegetable pakoras, garlic nan, tandoori chicken, saag paneer, and tofu coconut curry. All were very nice. They have a heat scale of 1 to 10. We had the tofu with a 3 and the saag with a 5. To be honest, there was no heat. When I go next, I'm going 9 or 10. We went early and by the time we finished they were packed and doing a good takeout service. I think it's going to be a new community favorite. read more

We came during a bit of a slow period, around 3pm. Everything was just as fantastic as last time. The service was attentive and friendly and exceptional, the food was ultra gush worthy, and it turned our whole day around after dealing with some downer stuff earlier. Under a hundred dollars for three people, and we ended up taking home half. read more

The food was really good! Clean place, friendly staff. Pro: affordable, delicious Con: we went at lunch and felt very rushed. Boom order, boom food, boom pay your check. And while my chicken biryani was very good I was disappointed that it was just chicken and rice. No veggies or anything mixed in. (Which is I guess standard I just have always had it other places with veggies and raisins) Will definitely eat there again. And soon. read more

This place is great! We stopped in for lunch because our favorite Thai place nearby was closed and I'm glad we tried this place. The restaurant is neat and colorful with comfortable seating. The menu is pretty extensive but the staff are knowledgeable and helped us pick a couple of dishes. We ordered a Malai Methi Muttar, a Karahi Lamb, and a mango lassi. The dishes were tasty, the spice levels (1-10) are pretty accurate, and the mango lassi was delicious but deceptively filling... I ended up taking half of my meal in a to go box. read more
