Chai

It just so happened we traveled to this area to see about adopting a dog at New 2 You dog rescue. While we were mulling over the idea of expanding our family, we decided to think it over while having a lunch in town. That is how we found Namaste. Online, the items looked pretty promising, so we decided to give them a try. The waitress tried to steer us to the lunch buffet, but we wanted to order off the main menu which seemed to make her unhappy. We started with a soda and a cup of chai while we looked over the menu. We decided to try the Malai Kofta and the Veggie Tikka Masala, with a side of basmati rice and the seasonal special garlic chive naan. The food took a surprisingly long time to be made, and nobody came by with updated timelines or to explain why the wait was so lengthy. While we were there, there were only two other tables, so I know the wait wasn't because they were slammed with people. Once the food finally arrived, we were immediately disappointed. The curries were both tepid, and the flavors were flat and boring. There was no heat, no spice, no salt and overall no real flavor. The rice was fluffy, but that's the only positive about it, and the naan was very colorful, but was really lacking in texture. The chai however was pretty good, but how really can you mess up sweetened tea? If that wasn't the worst part, once we were on our way home, we both started feeling sick to our stomachs. It was a three hour car ride home to Aquidneck area, and we had to pull over multiple times because one or both of us felt like we were going to be rapidly ill. Definitely not the experience you want after eating a very underwhelming meal. Price was fine for the portion size, food was not good due to lacking flavor and spice, service was inattentive, and getting sick after eating was definitely a downside. Ambiance was fine, but nothing really that amazing, and parking was limited due to being on a thoroughfare and accessing it during the lunch rush was a bit of a headache. Overall, it has a lot of room to improve, but after an experience like what we had, I would not return.

The Chili Chicken, some Pakora, and some Chicken Tiki Masala.

To be fair, I've not been here for anything but the lunch buffet... Which is really nice. I *LOVE* Indian buffets. Some are def better than others. (If you're looking for the best buffet, this isn't it.) But this is a solid buffet, and the staff is REALLY nice. One of my coworkers LOVES their Chicken Chili (which is a fantastic dish. I finally got to have some on Friday, as it was on the buffet.) He was so praiseful about it, that the restaurant brings him a plate of it every time he comes in, even if it's not on the buffet now. (The owner even texted him that it was on the buffet this Friday, but my coworker had taken the day off.) The space is nice. It's been an Indian restaurant in it's last couple incarnations. They have silverware, and table cloths. It feels like it would dress up nice for a dinner date situation. There is a bar, but it doesn't seem to get used much. (Certainly not during the lunch buffet.) The favors are good. The staff is very nice, and the space is well maintained, and clean. The buffet is a bit over $10, but it's kept well stocked and runs a good long while. (It's still kept up after 1:30, when another coworker and I usually go.) There is usually Naan, pakora, several vegetable dishes, chicken tiki masala, and tandoori chicken. The vegetable dishes rotate, and there is sometimes another meat. Sadly, the dessert is the place I would ding them the most. It's usually a small metal bowl of kheer in a bowl of ice. The last time it was somewhat congealed. I'm sure that I will be back here, many, many times. Oh, yes. They are closed on Mondays. Adjust your plans!

Elegant table for 2 window seat. Felt like we had a personal server

Is there a decent number of vegan dishes to choose from or are most of the vegetarian dishes cooked with butter (therefore, not vegan)?

Most of veg and veg dishes can be made vegan and are vegan. We don’t use butter .

We arrived very close to closing time, and usually that's when you don't expect the best food or service. However, the staff were incredibly prompt, courteous, and genuinely warm throughout our visit. We ordered the saag paneer, dal makhani, and garlic naan, and everything arrived hot with perfectly balanced flavors and spice levels -- exactly what we needed on a cold, rainy night. The food was exceptional, and we made sure to thank the chef personally. The prices were very reasonable, the restaurant had beautiful music playing, the tables and linens were spotless, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. To top it all off, they surprised us with dessert on the house. The entire experience was heartfelt and memorable. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and outstanding hospitality.

The descriptions and spice level were super helpful. I think the restaurant tried too hard to appeal to American taste buds that many of the items seemed bland. Don't get me wrong, I like mild but there was little taste. Complimentary naan was warm and fluffy.

I've been a lover of good Indian food since forever. Both my parents lived in India, and I've…read moreenjoyed the good, the bad, and the outstanding both in this country and abroad--mainly England, which is home to far more Indian cuisine than here. To my great surprise, Royal Spice, at least the evening I was there, is squarely in the outstanding category. I stopped in on a whim, on my way back (the long way) from Keene one late afternoon. Since it was just me, I only sampled one dish, the Chettinad chicken, and garlic cilantro naan. The flavor profile is from Southern India, specifically the Tamil Nadu region. This area has a rich cuisine centered around coconut and tamarind and a unique assortment of spices (being from the hottest area of India, the spices can be eye-watering, but here they ask you for your tolerance). The Chettinad had a wonderfully unique flavor profile, absolutely delicious. Even the naan was perfect: fluffy and crispy at the same time, loaded with fresh garlic and cilantro. I need to return with a large party to sample more.

This spot has become a normal request when I visit my family in the area. The food is really…read moreexcellent and the owner is warm, welcoming, and clearly cares about the business. We stopped in and ordered take-out one night over the holidays, and they made us feel right at home while we waited for the food to get prepared.

We've gone many times, and there's never been a single dish we didn't absolutely love. That being said, if you're a first-timer, you simply must order the momos.

They are some of the most genuinely kind and gentle people you will ever meet. They have a way of making every single person who walks through the door feel special and appreciated. It's that personal touch that transforms a great meal into a memorable experience. We are so incredibly grateful to have this restaurant in our area. It not only offers us a taste of the delicious and unique foods of Tibet but also provides a warm and welcoming space. MoMo is a testament to the idea that a restaurant can be about more than just food--it can be about hospitality, culture, and community.
