My friend recommended this to me for our dinner out evening, and…read more I was really surprised! This little hole in the wall is hard to find, but worth the venture. Food was a basic Indian repetoire with a few interesting additional items, but what makes it a difference is how well the items are spiced. You can tell that the spices are fresh and the flavours are vibrant. We ordered a few dishes to share - Vegetable samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala -marinated chicken breast cooked in thick creamy condensed sauce, Chettinad -coconut-base curry with a hint of mustard seeds and curry leaves, Kadhai Paneer -homemade cottage cheese cooked in thick curry sautéed with onions, bell peppers and tomatoes, Vegetable Biryani yellow basmati rice simmered with mixed vegetables, saffron, spices and a hint of fresh mint leaves and of course garlic naan bread. Everything was excellent loved the spice menu for medium there. The only thing that I didn't think was exceptional was the veggie samosas, they were small and their dough wasn't fantastic. Service was good but scattered. They could use a reno inside to make it warm and inviting. If you are in the area and if you can find the place, please check it out.

Food overall does really well with longer transit times. Hakka Noodles & Manchurian: 8/10. Noodles were not spicy. Manchurian was sooo spicy. Garlic Naan: 2 orders = 6 pieces. Very tasty. Cream of Chicken Soup: 5/10, tastes like canned Campbells cream of chicken soup. Kids liked it. Butter Chicken: too spicy for me and kids so unable to eat much of it. Lamb Vindaloo: 9/10, spicy but adults liked it. Veg Samosa: too spicy for the kids but adults liked them. Chan Masala: 9/10 Kids liked, not too spicy. Dal Makhani: 9/10 tasted as expected, not too spicy. Overall food was tasty but way too spicy for me and the kids. Also for 4 adults and 2 kids we needed at least twice the amount of naan.

We eat a lot of Indian food. A lot. An embarrassing amount…read more Soooo I do believe we have a wide range of market samples to compare to. Having lived on the south side of Edmonton most of my adult life, I tried every Indian option over there. Now that I've moved North, I have to try everything to find my new go-to. Royal India Express might be it!!! (I am surprised, because anything "express" has been a let-down to me in the past). This is the second time in 2 weeks we have ordered from Royal India Express (both times via Skip the Dishes)... so I can't speak to the store front as I have no idea what it's like. I can only assume it's a walk-up style place for take-out only, that probably has all the food ready-to-go buffet style, with no dining room. (A quick google search just now confirmed I was pretty much bang on). So, I am even more DELIGHTED that the quality and flavour of this food is TOP NOTCH. Both times we have ordered in the last two weeks the food has been just excellent. ANNNNNDDDD they listen when you ask them to kick up the heat. Everything was a good level of heat. I wouldn't call it EXTRA EXTRA hot like I asked; but certainly one extra... The overall flavour is great, though. So no foul. If you've read my Indian food reviews before, you know I ALWAYS order Daal Makhni. This is the yummiest Daal I've had. 10/10. It's pure comfort food for me. The Butter Chicken was great and had a kick to it. Nice fiery after taste. I will say there could have been a bit more chicken in there for the price though. This is my only complaint here. The Palak Paneer was very very spinachy, and I loved it. Packed with flavour. Last week when we ordered we got lamb. I didn't have it but the boyfriend said the meat was quality cuts and flavoured very well. Good on you, Royal Indian Express. You will absolutely be seeing us again.

Solid 4 out of 5. Ordered it on SkipTheDishes, food was very nicely packed, and huge portions!…read more I'll start with the Saffron Rice. It was crazy good, had lots of flavour, unique spices, and a wonderful aroma. I find Indian food has amazing aromas! The Chicken Chettinadu was excellent, however, I was not made aware it was spicy. I can handle spicy food, but this was a bit much even for me! I'll still give it a very good review, because it was very tasty! And the garlic Naan was amazing! I didn't realize one order gave you two pieces of naan, so I did two orders, and have enough naan to live off of! For it being my first time ordering from them, I was very impressed, and will definitely get the saffron Rice and Garlic Naan again, but, the Chicken Chettinadu was just a bit too spicy for me. My only suggestion for the restaurant, is to have options for spice level.

The atmosphere is pleasant inside and they have high chairs available. If your wondering, the washroom is a little tight inside, but also child friendly. You have the option of ordering on menu or opting for buffet. Originally I was planning to order a couple dishes from the menu cuz my kids spice tolerance is zero even though they occasionally eat Indian food. However, the waitress did the math and said it was actually cheaper for us to do buffet. I'm glad she suggested that because it gave us the chance to try a bunch of dishes we never thought to try and also stick to the classics like butter chicken. My youngest ate like a bird, so the waitress was kind enough to not charge for her head which I appreciated. I found service to be attentive and friendly, plus the food is pretty affordable, so I'm glad we tried this place out!
