Buffet includes: samosas, pakoras, dal, palaak paneer, a mushroom dish, two types of rice (regular and biryani-style,) several salads, a handful of desserts, roti, and probably some other stuff I can't remember. There are lots of meat-based main dishes at dinner or you can order more of the vegetarian options. There are also your usual naan options (regular, cheese, and garlic) as well as various lassis. Lunch is 11€ and dinner is between 11 and 18€ (before drinks, bread, etc.) The guy who runs this place is super friendly and speaks perfect English. They also host events with Bollywood dancers, yoga, meditation, etc. You can follow their facebook page for more info on that stuff. I'm a big fan! Side note: They do not accept credit cards so bring your cash and/or restaurant tickets.

This is probably my favorite Indian restaurant. Amazing and original flavors in a great atmosphere…read more Highly recommended for vegetarians as well.

Very often the atmosphere inside is quite packed, but I've had more than one fun conversation with people I've met there due to the limited seating. I grew up in Asia, if you're not used to (real) hot sauce, opt for the Pili Pili (which is quite good), but if you want to become a hiccuping dragon, their hot "sauce indienne", like their pakora, is excellent.

We tried Lamb & Chicken Biryanis and I must say that the lamb was the best I ever had and after 10 days of eating French food it was a nice change. Our kids loved the chicken curry too. I found that Lyon lamb meat is very popular and some of the farms near Lyon are the source for Lamb meat for banquets in Windsor since it has a very unique with less lamby/gamy taste and more tender. Overall it was a good restaurant and the owners provide very good customer service.

While having a pleasant evening walk in the vieux Lyon we pulled up Yelp and looked for a nearby Indian. We ended up at royal Indian and had a pleasant surprise. Despite fact that they ran out of the meat samosas the main dish was delicious and truly spicy ( read the French don't eat spicy so it's rare to find) . it was quiet busy and there was only one staff person serving but she was extremely friendly.....
