I am so happy I found a delicious Indian food restaurant in York. The food is so good! I ordered…read morethe veggie somosas which were probably the best I've ever had. The butter chicken which was perfectly spiced. I ordered it mild. The sauce was really good but the best part was the tender pieces of chicken. I also ordered the egg biryani in medium spice. It was perfectly spiced. It wasn't the best biryani I've had. But I would order it again. The staff was very polite while placing my order and when picking up my food. The only set back of this place is the location. It's super sketch but they have signs showing you how to locate it. It's located in a hotel and there's a bit of a walk to get to it. The ambiance is relaxed. They do have indoor seating but it's a small space. I'm not sure if they could accommodate large groups but it is in a hotel banquet area so maybe they could.The food is delicious, I will definitely return here.

I normally always love Indian food but something about each dish was off. We got the Kodi vopidu (chicken stir fry) based on some prior Yelp reviews. It was ok but not super flavorful or impressive. Was not really a fan of the veggie korma--it was full of spices but not as creamy as I'm used to. The texture was almost grainy? The portions were a bit small as well for the price. My husband did get a lentil dish (not sure which one) which was the best out of the tree we ordered. Overall we were disappointed as Nalan had a very high Yelp rating (probably because of its nicer interior--cute wall with a word cloud of food) but the food itself was underwhelming. There are multiple Indian and Nepali restaurants on the east shore we liked better.

Cocktails here are seriously well done, a great range to choose from. The mango lassi stood out too, topped with a little rose made of rose syrup, such a thoughtful detail.

Like other people mentioned, the place itself is very clean and airy which is inviting. Also, as others mentioned, they give you a mini plastic bottle of water with your meal. I'd love to know the thinking behind that. It's takes away from the class of the meal. In underdeveloped countries getting bottled water is a sign that it's drinkable. Not sure the purpose here, but it feels wasteful. We had Chicken Tikka Masala, Kadai Chicken and Malai Kofta along with garlic naan. We got medium heat and were happy. Kadai Chicken was new to us and we loved it. Spectacular. Delicate and intricate flavors. We always order Malai Kofta if it's on the menu. Never disappoints. Chicken Tikka Masala was very good. We were just more enamored with the Kadai. All the dishes worked very well together. The malai kofta wasn't even hot, but we loved it anyway. I really should have sent it back, but as I mentioned, we were in town for a happy event so we just rolled with it! It was expensive and not something we'd do every week, but if you're looking for tasty Indian, this is it.

So, I don't know about you, but every once in a while, I might take a cruise or go to a nice hotel…read moreand fantasize about having nice things--something like positive manifestation. When I walk into a nice place, I often notice the floor, maybe marble, maybe terrazzo, or just really wet and shiny tile. Well, it makes me feel good knowing that the floor is clean. I know that everything else inside of the establishment is also going to be clean. That's how I felt when I was at this Indian restaurant. Now, I was on my way to go do a strip-and-wax job to make someone's floors look wet and glossy. I decided to stop and get some lunch along the way, and this is where I ended up: Royal Kitchen. I don't eat a lot of meat in my life anymore. That's the reason why I have so much energy, but this diet is not for everyone because everyone is different. However, let's stop talking about me. Let's talk about how delicious this food was. It did take a little while for it to come out, but I was pleasantly surprised by how fluffy on the outside and also crisp the garlic naan was. The prices were very reasonable, and I believe at this place, I got a coconut cashew dish, and I must say it was very delicious. Now, normally when I eat Nepali and/or Indian food, it is spicy. I got the medium spice. That way, I was able to enjoy the flavor notes, and, well, I didn't regret it. This establishment is great. It is right off the highway and has plenty of seating. They also have a bar area, which is amazing. And if you want to have a banquet hall for a party of 10 or more, this is definitely the spot. The menu has all the ingredients listed and what is inside the food, which makes it very easy to choose what you want to eat. The bathrooms are also very clean. When you walk in, there is some incense in the beginning, and it is not overwhelming. It is pleasant and relaxing. It feels like you were transported into what I would believe is another part of the world. So, if you want to be a part of this world, I invite you to come and try the food here at this establishment! If you like my reviews, please visit my YouTube channel: @brandenleebutler

They were incredibly…read morekind and accommodating, fitting us in with a last-minute reservation -- but I highly recommend booking at least a few days in advance. This is an intimate BYOB spot, and it was completely packed when we arrived. The atmosphere feels cozy and authentic -- the kind of place where you know care goes into both the food and the hospitality. We ordered the chickpeas, cauliflower, and a mango lassi. One thing we really appreciated: they asked us what spice level we preferred. My wife doesn't like spicy food, and they thoughtfully prepared everything mild for us without sacrificing flavor. The chickpeas were outstanding -- rich, well-seasoned, and deeply satisfying. The cauliflower wasn't quite to my personal taste, but it was well prepared. And the mango lassi? Absolutely amazing -- creamy, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. Portions were generous, and the service was prompt and genuinely excellent throughout the evening. If you're in Lancaster and enjoy flavorful Himalayan and Indian cuisine in a cozy BYOB setting, this place is definitely worth a visit -- just plan ahead and make that reservation.

Everything was cooked perfectly and the rice was aromatic, the chicken was tender, and the daal had good spice and body to it. The naan was a little underwhelming (I'm not sure if it was fresh or maybe made from frozen), but it was small and a little drier than I would have hoped for. Service was good and the only other issue was one of our drinking glasses clearly wasn't clean as I could see lipstick marks on it still. The server was prompt in correcting the issue for us. No other issues and enjoyed the experience.
