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.

Our server was nice and fluent in both French and English. We will definitely be going back when we're looking for great Indian food. They also do take-out!

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.
