Open for a holiday, this place is branded similarly to a sister restaurant in Charlottesville. I…read morewas glad they were open and I left a tip for takeout. The food was good, but didn't impress me quite as much as the other location. The space was in a suburban shopping mall. My bhindi masala had a lot of okra stems in it; this is very first world of me but I'm getting enough fiber from the rest of the okra plant and the stems are a bit tough for me. A spicy dal makhani had a vicious kick from presumably one of those high-end chili peppers, and my paratha was of a delicate softness. A mulligatawny soup was on the thinner side, nothing that blew me away in flavor. I'm glad to have found vegetarian and interesting food in this part of Virginia on a holiday, but there was room for improvement.

It wasn't quite the dish I was hoping for. For one thing, the menu promised some accoutrements like onions and pickles on the side that were not in fact delivered. For another, the best bhatura is a large basketball sized bread, so when I get several little ones like I did here I'm always a tad disappointed. The flavors were nonetheless robust in what I did get, with fenugreek leaves and fruity flavors balancing my chickpea curry's slow burn and delightfully soft textures to both the bread and the rice. A papadum with chutneys was delivered as well, and I ordered an unsweetened chai which I elected to not sweeten with the sugar at the table. So maybe the peak of quality wasn't quite there. If you give me a chole bhatura with a little yogurt on the side and some pickled mango or something like that, then we're in five star territory. But having gotten vegetarian, tasty food in a small town not overflowing with options, I was still satisfied that I picked the right place, and that you can find good Indian food almost anywhere.

This place has no business being where it is. I'd put their food up against urban Indian places any…read moreday. Instead, it's not near anything and shares a building with a gas station. Service is table-side but you pay at the desk. Portions are large and most people end up taking a box home. I'd say for two people, get two dishes to share and a single appetizer, too. They will allow a lot of alterations to your dishes and are careful to meet your spice tolerance. Do not expect a lot of answers on what exactly this or that dish is; the wait staff know how to put the orders in but not the intricacies of what separates chicken tikka from chicken tikka masala. The space is small, but I have gone with my wife and with 12 people and had no problems getting seating. Do check the times they are open, because if it's within 30 minutes of closing they can probably only get your food for you to-go. Most people like the skewered meat or korma-type foods. I'd say an order of naan is NOT sufficient for two people, so order double or a mix of two types (they have over 6 to choose from). If you don't do meat, they have fish dishes. And if you are vegetarian you'll be fine, but probably not a lot for a vegan. They also have a fusion East Asian section at the back of the menu. I've tried it and like it, but I'd say it's a bit heavier than the rest of the menu. TL;DR - If you don't know what something is, use their wifi and google it. It's a simpler process than asking the waitress who will ask the cook who will explain it to her so she can remember half of it and explain it to you. Also, usually a good idea to pair one meat dish with one vegetarian if you are splitting with someone. Maybe try one thing new and one old trusted item (saag paneer).

It's part of the historic area of Lynchburg and has a nice brick line space that has been amply decorated. They offer a large vegetarian and vegan selection of both Indian and more Middle Eastern cuisine and because of the nature of the place, you can have a conversation about exactly what you want. I insisted that I wanted something spicy and managed to talk them into it. I got some okra that did have a significant kick to it and was otherwise fresh and aromatic. I also added a large chai which was sweetened to taste. I did not have room to really indulge on dessert, but nonetheless decided to take one small baklava to go. It was quite wondrous in texture and the flavor explodes out of it. The reason I had not been in before is that their hours are rather limited, but for anyone looking for vegan/vegetarian food in this part of the state, this place stands out.

They did put out a single table for me to eat there, but it has nothing to offer in the way of ambience. Weather may also be a factor, and when I arrived at the post opening time they were still setting up. The reason I have a high opinion of the place is not any of those things, but that it offers the distinctive home-cooked taste of a cuisine that is not otherwise available in the region to my knowledge. It is vegetarian South Indian and most of the options revolve around lentils and spices. I sampled a preparation I hadn't had before of ildi, a steamed rice and lentil cake, with some mouthwatering spicy powder. My spicy dosa, which I made it clear I wanted really spicy, was indeed fiery, but also possessed the delightful crispness and mix of sour and savory flavors distinctive to this cuisine. I also note that sometimes the salt in sambar overwhelms me but I didn't have a particularly tough time here; the flavors of the spices were enough without the ridiculous oversalting that some restaurants do. It is a taste that I would be happy to come back for in the near term and I would try virtually everything they offer.

Whoa. I haven't found a gem like this in a while…read more Amidst a long drive what a delight to find an Indian food truck in this strange truck stop area in Virginia. All your basic northern Indian dishes are here both veg and meat. There is chicken curry, goat curry, several dals, aloo gobi etc. I had a solid dal and an oily and flavorful goat curry on the bone. Rice and naan are available. Note some dishes like the chicken curry and dals are ready to go but dishes like aloo gobi are made fresh and will take 15-20min. You can avoid the wait by calling ahead at 540-771-0011. You may ask how will I ever eat Indian food in the car? Well there are some picnic tables if you care to dine on site. Otherwise dal is a very good self contained choice. The world would be a better place if there was one of these spots at every truck stop in the USA. So pull off, order some food (get some gas while you wait) and come back for a refreshing feast. Nice people by the way!

It's inside the gas station at this location and they offer Indian food as well as American food like fried chicken and fish and burgers, etc. I did get an order of butter naan because I was nibblish and it was good. Service was friendly and efficient and the naan was ready pretty quickly. There are a couple of tables if you want to sit down and eat but it's really a take out spot inside the gas station mini mart. They were doing a pretty steady business with truckers that seemed quite familiar with their food. That should tell you a little something.

The Madras Chicken and Lababdar Chicken are incredible, but this time Chef brought out his new dish, Chili Fish! This is his own Indo-Chinese fusion dish, fried fish tenders with a sweet-hot chili glaze. The fish is perfectly cooked and melts in your mouth while the chili adds just a touch of heat. Chef's creativity is the highlight of any visit to Waynesboro. For an appetizer, try the Chicken Malai Tikka, chunks of spiced chicken breast served with peppers and onions on a sizzling skillet. It is a treat visually, and the taste is out of this world!

I enjoyed a soft, warm, succulent bread, similar to naan, that is stuffed with tender and lightly seasoned onions (I could make a meal of this kulcha). My main dish was the Chicken Jhol Momo, which is a fine Nepalese entree. The momo are like dumplings and are cooked with a flavorful tomato and sesame soup. The service is always pleasant and I look forward to returning to Royal India Palace soon. The atmosphere is warm and crimson and the serving items are bronzy metal or dark, rich ceramic. Classy place.
