Tandoori fish is also great

Very dissapointed to say the least. This used to be my favorite Indian spot, regular customer. I…read morewent a couple days ago and I received my order everything seemed good except I was unsure if the naan bread they brought out was garlic cheese naan so I asked the waitress and she proceeded to touch and rub the naan bread with her fingers to check the bread to see if it was garlic cheese naan. VERY DISGUSTING I will never be eating there again cus if she's that comfortable touching my food in public I wonder what they're not touching in the kitchen behind closed doors. sorry not sorry

Royal India is definitely worth a visit!…read more The staff were super friendly, attentive, and took the time to explain the different options. And here's the best part -- $11.99 gets you an all-you-can-eat buffet! There are multiple types of naan, chai tea, and a great variety of dishes. The buffet had a nice mix of vegetarian and meat options, along with chutneys, fresh veggies, rice, and plenty to keep your plate busy. You can enjoy the daily buffet or order straight from the menu if you're looking for something specific. The booth seating works great for small groups, and the entire restaurant was super clean and well maintained. Great food, great value, friendly people, and enough variety to make your taste buds very happy. If you haven't tried Royal India yet, go hungry and give it a try!

Great sushi, huge menu with tons of options for everyone in your party! I'm glad they're open late…read moreon Saturday nights because I was craving sushi and I came here for lunch. A couple of weeks ago and loved the Bento Box that came with a little bit of the best of everything! Tonight i ordered the Mushroom Bombs and they're the bomb.com and I'm trying the Sunburst roll. I love the decor, the customer service and attentive hospitality, and they are right across the street from the movie theater on Main Street so if you don't feel like popcorn or if you have room for both, i highly recommend Kings Asian Cuisine!

My brother order a war Wongton soup and it was just pure bland, no flavor and he couldn't even eat it. We told the waitress and she comes back saying the best they can do is 50% percent off which is not the problem. The problem is the way she said "this is one of our best sellers, everyone likes it but it's not my problem you don't like it."

Hey Tlahualil, So…read more. you were one of the first places my friends and I tried in the Merced area and it was a great experience. Well it's still super hot in there as there is no AC and coupled with the hot summer - hoowee... but I would still come here whenever people visit from out of town for one reason and one reason only. The Molcajetes. There aren't many unique foods in Merced, so this is what we have people try. Look, I'll be frank, the other food items, are good but standard fare. Not too fancy, nothing that stands out too much, all good mind you. But that Molcajete is an experience and at a relatively reasonable price. Why relative? Because Molcajetes can be very expensive at a lot of restaurants (think $25-$35 each). It's this deconstructed hot stone bowl of goodness but something I rarely get to try elsewhere because it's really expensive. Not only that, it's not a dish that doesn't require a lot of hard cooking and nuance chef work... its a lot of stuff put into a stone bowl...so the price tag for this in some restaurants is just too much. But you? You are relatively cheaper. Similar to the price of a fajita. So is it good? Oh yeah. I really enjoy it every time and leaves me full and happy. My recommendation to those who visit you? - get the mixed Molcajete. I think the chicken (I never order anything chicken at a Mexican restaurant, but in this dish, it's really good) and the shrimp are both good. Get mixed, unless you are sharing with a friend, then get chicken and shrimp separate and share! (better deal that way). Oh and pick the red sauce. It's spicier, but it's more flavorful. My opinion. Also it's a lot of food, so if you are a not a big eater, split one. I've tried other things but I always go back to Molcajete. I tried Molcajete at another place before, but it wasn't as good and more expensive. So you are my Molcajete place :) But hey, don't raise the price on this. The main reason I come to you and highly recommend this to others partly because it's not overpriced! See you again. hmm kind of feel like molca...

Hey Tuneric. So…read moreglad to have a solid Indian place in Merced. A notch above the typical Indian spot and more importantly.. STILL THERE. within a few years we've seen a few Indian places come and go, but you've been a staple to the Merced food scene. Little pricier than average but that's because your food is a little better. Solid lunch buffet option. The typical stuff I get for buffet are: Veggie Pakora Chicken Korma Lamb Vindaloo Naan Anyhow stay strong, stay alive, and keep that Indian food coming!!

5 Stars - Amazing Food, Delicious Flavors & Outstanding Customer Service!…read more Our experience at El Palmar Taqueria in Merced was absolutely wonderful! From the delicious food to the exceptional customer service, everything exceeded our expectations! We ordered the carne asada with extra onions, Camarones a la Diabla, and a cevichelada, and everything was absolutely delicious! The food was packed with authentic Mexican flavors, the portions were generous, and the presentation was great. You can definitely taste the quality and care put into every dish! What made our experience even more special was the outstanding customer service! Everyone was friendly, welcoming, kind, helpful, and easy to talk to. I especially want to recognize Perla, who truly went above and beyond with her kindness and hospitality. She consistently checked in on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and even took the time to interact and talk with my daughter, who is just about to turn one year old! As a mother, those small but meaningful gestures truly touch my heart. Perla didn't just provide excellent service; she made us feel genuinely welcomed and valued as a family. Her patience, kindness, and beautiful personality did not go unnoticed! It's not every day you encounter someone who takes such pride in providing heartfelt customer service. Perla truly deserves recognition for going above and beyond! Great food, amazing flavors, generous portions, and exceptional hospitality! We will definitely be returning and highly recommend El Palmar Taqueria to anyone looking for delicious Mexican food and a family-friendly dining experience. Thank you, Perla, for making our visit extra special! Keep up the amazing work!
