The truck grille, the walls and punjabi songs on tv completed the picture. The menu is large and had a lot of choices. We ordered the appetizer platter. Was good enough for three adults. Ordered Shahi Paneer no spice, but Sarason ka saag medium spice. Ordered chole bhature. Everything was heavenly. The bhature had no oil, very soft and tasty!! The spicier stuff also has subtle tastes to them. Not to be missed if you are passing on 81 or live nearby. We drove an hour to get there. Worth making the trip. Great food and awesome service.

Preparation was not speedy and I waited for fifteen minutes or so even having ordered in advance, but I don't mind doing that for quality food. A North Indian menu yielded a plethora of interesting options, and I struggled to narrow it down to one lentil dish, one green vegetable, and some other options. A stuffed potato curry was among the harder to find ones. The cuisine was indulgent, but the spice levels hit and I poured off a little extra oil and was satisfied for several meals.

I wish it were a bit spicier (I ordered mild), but incredible nonetheless. I live 4+ hours away, but come to Front Royal, VA once in a while for work--my first impression of Royal Zaika makes me want to visit more often! Mutter Paneer is usually my favorite, but it will be hard not to order their Palak Paneer next time, too!

This restaurant is farther from the highway than it looks due to Front Royal's small-town vibe and…read moreslow roads. It offers a solid North Indian menu. Notably, you're only about an hour a way from an Indian restaurant bonanza in some of the suburbs closer to DC, and this place would be pretty ordinary in those surroundings. However, around here, it is one of few options. Notably it does have vegan-marked offerings. This should not be construed to suggest that they offer health food. I searched for something that wasn't fried but was told that they were out of steamed dumplings (some degree of pre-preparation must be done there). I ended up with a chole bhature, which came with two small puffed breads that didn't impress, but had a great set of accoutrements. I got my dumplings fried in chili sauce. And I added a fresh mint and lime soda, which was excellent. So there is some quality here, for those wanting Indian food and not wanting to head towards DC or Winchester.

I found this restaurant intriguing due to its offerings of Portuguese Indian cuisine, a very niche…read moresubject. They have plenty of offerings that you'd find at any Indian restaurant, but I sought to try something called recheado. The use of vinegar in addition to a range of Indian spices creates a strong and memorable flavor. I got it with paneer. I've been ordering medium rather than Indian hot spice levels lately due to some stomach issues, and I will say that this place's spice levels are the real deal. Even medium was considerable and I would not ask them to do the full spice level unless you really mean it. I appreciated the option to order two small vegetable dishes as an entree; variety is good. I also added a mouthwatering bread and a side of pickled carrots for a more authentic experience. It was heavy comfort food, but it didn't seem to harm my stomach and it did excite my tastebuds as expected.

What a hidden gem!…read more We just had lunch here and everything about the experience was incredible. The food was bursting with flavor, made fresh from scratch, and came out sizzling hot to the table... you could taste the love in every bite. The portions were generous, too, which made it even better. One of our guests is actually from Nepal, and even he was so impressed and genuinely enjoying every dish, which says a lot about the authenticity. The service truly stood out. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and with a big smile, our waitress even offered to take a photo for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. She was absolutely lovely. The restaurant itself is only about a year old, and it shows in the best way. The interior is spotless, beautifully decorated, and filled with natural light that makes the whole space feel warm and inviting. There's also a lovely outdoor patio that I can already tell will be absolutely gorgeous in the summer. It's a small, family-run place, and you can feel the care and pride in every detail. We'll definitely be coming back!

I liked the chili milli gobhi a lot. I wasn't expecting it to be fried, but I enjoyed it, and it was covered in some sort of chili sauce. The samosa was pretty good, I liked the sauces it came with. The butter chicken was just fine, I feel like I have had better, but it was very saucy which I liked. The naan was pretty good. I liked our server, she was nice and seemed to know the menu. The restaurant was nice inside and had a good ambiance.
