I wish I thought to take pictures before I devoured this delicious food, but alas, my hunger outweighed my sense. We got the Chilli Paneer, Bengan Bhartha, and some naan and Oh. My. Goodness. To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. The care that went into the crafting of this dish can only hearken to the excellent service that the restaurant must provide. We'll be going in person this next time to soak in the ambiance and maybe even indulge in something sweet. I'm so happy to have found Royal Rasoi

Yum! The only thing I did not like about Royal Rasoi is that is is far from me. My husband and I wanted to try something new so we decided to make the drive to check out this establishment. We came on a Saturday for lunch and it was busy but no wait. I liked that they had their lunch buffet even on the weekends. And on Sundays they include champagne. The self service area had a large variety including a whole section of vegetarian options. Everything I tried I enjoyed. The foods were full of flavor and always refilled. All the meats we had tasted tender and delicious. We got a choice between regular and garlic naan which we got garlic. It was yummy. Oh and we got a lassi drink as well but I don't recommend it since it tasted off. Service was great and they made sure to give us more drinks and take away our finished plates. The inside is pretty spacious which makes getting the food easy. We would definitely come back.

Royal Rasoi recently won me over with their incredible lunch buffet! It's the perfect way to explore a variety of Indian flavors. The tandoori chicken was a standout - beautifully spiced and cooked to juicy perfection. The chicken tikka masala was rich and creamy, with a depth of flavor that had me going back for seconds. The mixed vegetables offered a welcome freshness, and the chicken curry added another layer of warmth and spice to the feast. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality. The buffet itself was a great value, offering a generous selection of dishes to try. If you're looking for a delicious and affordable way to delve into Indian cuisine, Royal Rasoi's lunch buffet is a must-try!

Can't beat the $16.95 all you can eat lunch buffet. Great selection and bountiful well cooked and flavorful variety of your Indian cuisine. Outstanding! Must give it a try. And if you like tea, try the Indian tea. Excellent!

Indian restaurants in Southern California are dime a dozen but heavily lack quality. This one stood out on my drive from SD to LA. Their service was excellent. Ambiance is perfect as it's right off the hwy and close to a gas station. Their food was outstanding as well. If you want Punjabi food, you want to make sure they are the ones making it.

This is a review for DoorDash delivery. Vegetarian samosas: so excellent. I love these I always get four personally for my own consumption eat two the first night I get them and then squirrel the other two to eat half at daily intervals with my much less scrumptious homemade Indian fare 5/5 Chicken tikka masala: this is definitely a staple dish for the white girl dabbling in Indian cuisine. I don't care if I'm adhering to a stereotype, I love CTM. The sauce is always reliably excellent at royal Rasoi. However, when you get it for takeout or delivery, the chicken is a bit more overcooked than what you will appreciate with a dine in or buffet experience. 4/5 Daal Makhani: very good, some of the lentils are a little more firm, others are very soft, that is intrinsic to the dish when you order it from this restaurant. Very buttery highly recommend. 5/5 Saag Paneer: also very solid choice. I got it as a mild spice level in an attempt to entice a child to eat it, I probably should have gotten medium, because the flavor profile was good, but it was just a bit bland without the added peppers. 4/5

I recently had the pleasure of trying Royal Rasoi, and overall, it was a delightful experience with a few bumps along the way. I placed a to-go order over the phone, and despite a small hiccup upon my arrival, the flavorsome journey was well worth the wait. I opted for the Chicken Tikka Masala, and it did not disappoint. The dish was rich, aromatic, and the chicken was perfectly tender. The blend of spices was on point, creating a symphony of flavors that left my taste buds dancing. I'd easily give the Chicken Tikka Masala a solid 4/5. Now, onto the minor inconveniences. Upon arriving, I found that my order hadn't been started yet. This hiccup did cause a bit of a delay, but the friendly staff apologized and quickly got things underway. It's worth noting that this may have been an isolated incident, and I'm willing to chalk it up to a busy evening. On a positive note, I must express my gratitude to a coworker who recommended Royal Rasoi. This individual is an Indian food aficionado, and their stamp of approval was enough to pique my interest. Clearly, they know their stuff, and Royal Rasoi lived up to the hype. Despite the initial delay, I'm contemplating a return visit to explore their lunch buffet. If the Chicken Tikka Masala is any indication, the variety and quality at the buffet are likely to be exceptional. I appreciate the effort put into the flavors here, and I'm hopeful that future visits will be even smoother.
