food is so so good, i didnt get what i tried to order but ended up being so good either way i didnt even try to ask what it was, they keep the naan bread coming. all and all great service and great food read more

Miniscule portions on food as t lunch today. Teeny bowl of tomato base paneer dish. Cup of chai is $3.49. very small cup, maybe 4 ounces. Asked for a refill and was charged again. So, no refill on ridiculously small cup of chai. Never experienced anything like this, and I've had Indian food from New York to Bumbai. Good server but the vibe is off. We were concerned about the kitchen sanitation because we couldn't see the kitchen and it appeared only one guy back there just wearing a black t shirt... He came out for a minute. For $26.95 ( solo lunch) I could have gone to a delish Indian buffet. Also note: no chutney, no raita, no condiments, no tamarind sauce. It's a NO. read more

Two of my Indian co-workers recommended this place and I am so glad I finally tried it! The food is amazing, the service was fast and the place is clean and accommodating for large or small groups. We started with Samosas which were perfect. This in one of my favorite appetizers and you could actually make a meal out of them all alone if you wanted. For dinner, we had Chicken 65 Biryani which was a huge portion and so delicious! We also had Chicken Tika Masala which was also excellent. For dessert, we shared a Ras Malai which is a spongey Indian cottage cheese disc, flavored with sweetness and saffron and topped with almonds. So good! There are two locations for this restaurant, one in Bothell and the one we tried here in Lake Stevens. I highly recommend that you try it if you love Indian food! read more

We ordered goat curry tonight from Biryani House and were very disappointed. Within just a few bites, we were pulling bone fragments out of our mouths. I understand goat is typically cooked on the bone, but when the meat is butchered, it should be washed and prepared properly to avoid this issue which clearly wasn't done. We immediately called the restaurant to let them know. Unfortunately, the person we spoke with didn't understand what we were describing and asked for pictures (which wouldn't have shown the fragments in the curry). He took our name and number and said he would talk to the cook and call us back. When the manager called back, we had to re-explain everything, only to be told "it is what it is." That kind of response is both unprofessional and dismissive. A simple apology along with an offer for a refund or replacement would have been the right approach. In the end, the dish went straight into the trash. This was our first and last time ordering from here. Hopefully, others have had better experiences than we did. read more

Curries have nice flavor. Portions are very small. For $16 the malai kofta had 4 small potato balls. Tikka masala and palak paneer tasted good but for $16-$17 the portions were a joke with minimal respective protein. They just filled the bag with a huge container of rice. Very unfortunate as there is not a lot of Indian restaurants in the area. Also, order was placed online saying ready in 15 mins but took about 40. read more

My usual order when craving Indian is very basic: Butter Chicken (spicy). This is the closest to me, so I would order here. Flavor is definitely there, but the portions are soooo small! You pay almost $20 for one order, just to get 5-6 pieces of chicken. Their naan is good too and always served fresh and warm. If not for convenience, I likely wouldn't return. I hope they consider the multiple reviews mentioning the small portions. read more

Okay. So. The food in its self was decent, nothing special tasted like Indian food haha. We found a small hair in the Lamb Biryani...we didn't say anything cause it was towards the end of our meal. The service was also fine, the server stood really close to our table the entire time so it was kinda awkward. They bring out water bottles for you instead of cups and some of the food was plated on paper bowls and plastic baskets? Sooo it's not terrible but also not great? Just nothing special. It's not worth its price. read more

had a decent experience at this Indian restaurant a few months ago, and the service was good back then. Unfortunately, my recent visit was very disappointing. My butter chicken was extremely salty, to the point that I couldn't finish it. The chicken was chewy and tasted off. I had asked for it spicy, but there was no spice at all. The server seemed impatient, rushing us through our order and not very attentive. Overall, this experience was frustrating, and I will not be returning. read more

Huge menu. Courteous service. Take out order serving size for three different entrees was generous. Be sure to err on the side of caution when deciding on what level heat you want for your food. read more

Foods are okay. Service could be better. I don't like the custom application using to order foods for Togo. The app is not user friendly and is buggy. It immediately place my order after I put in my credit card (cc) info. And there is no way to cancel an order through the apps. I corrected the order and place another one. Immediately called them to cancel the first order. Was told it got cancelled. I got charged for both orders. A week past and there is no reverse charge for the first order. Contacted them again. Days past and still no reverse charge. Had to dispute it to my cc bank instead. The cc card swiftly took care of it. read more

Food is fantastic. But I ordered at 5:26 and got my food at 7:25. I will never eat here again irrespective of how good the food is.

Small and new? YES! We looked up the address and then drove around the parking lot feeling confused. Finally found it. Look for a banner on the front window. Vibe: Friendly, helpful, cheerful. Food: Homemade, fresh and good! I asked for mine mild but I think it was what I would describe as Medium but that's OK because I like it a bit spicy. Large menu with many many vegetarian options. Lots for the non-vegetarian options too. Saag kofta was great. Rice was perfectly cooked. Chicken in a creamy sauce was flavorful and well prepared. Would I go back? Yes! read more

This place was pretty decent indian food for the area. I ordered to go and the food arrived piping hot. I did order a level 3 star for heat and it was spicy, which i prefer. Some places make a 3 star heat an actual 1 star heat. They have typical portions. I was not disappointed by my order. Will likely order again from that place. read more

Food was amazing!! Extremely delicious and flavorful. We order with no spice to share with our son. He loved the garlic naan. My favorite too! Service started out a little hectic but to their credit they had lots of to go orders. Our food came out in a timely fashion though Laid back look and feel. Only feedback i have is they need to removed the previous Chinese restaurant sign "lucky" something. Cover with their banner or remove completely. Very confusing trying to find the correct locations. We will be back to order some other items. Cheers! Chanel read more

They serve chaat over the weekend, Friday through Sunday. It's the best pani puri I've had in Seattle. I've also tried their curries and biryanis, and they taste just like home-cooked comfort meals. This is my go-to place, and they never disappoint me. Highly recommended! read more

Great food. Spicy and delicious. I loved their rice and naan. Service is always good. Great big portions too!

It's kind of hard to come up with a rating for this place. It's called 'Royal Biryani House', but if you go in expecting to actually get proper biryani (where the protein and other ingredients are layered together with the rice and cooked for hours, allowing the ingredients to blend) you'll be disappointed. What they serve here isn't really biryani. I ordered the 'butter chicken biryani' thinking it would be some sort of interesting mashup of the two dishes, but what I got was a heap of way-too-hot basmati rice with a bunch of mediocre butter chicken on top of that and then another enormous scoop of basmati rice on top of *that*. And some undefined sauces on the side that packed plenty of heat but not much flavor. That was it. I've had better butter chicken from a jar purchased at Haggen. The naan and samosas were bland, sadly. Service was polite and prompt but strangely indifferent, and wait staff is not really big on checking back. Ambiance is even worse than the pho place that used to occupy this spot - fast food level or worse. I really, really wanted to like this place, but we won't be back (until something else crops up in the space, which seems inevitable). read more

First time here and I have restricted diet so have asked for low oil and low salt. The chickpea Chans was surprisingly good. Good service. I will be back to try more dishes. read more

Overall their food is very good- veg pakora, veg korma, butter chicken and paneer tika masala. Everything was very flavorful and yummy! I would say this place is more for take out then dine in for these reasons: They give you a water bottle instead of ice water in a cup Some of the dishes come out on paper bowls The tea came in a paper cup If you don't care about those things then def give it a chance but it's definitely no fine dining experience- very meh. Customer service isn't all that great either. But like I said the food is very good and not like we have very many indian restaurants in our area so take out is the best way to go. read more

Food was good once we got it as it seems a little unorganized as people are waiting to be seated and waiting to order for long periods of time as staff seems to be focusing on only one task instead of all that is going on honestly could not understand what the special was as it was very difficult to understand the server's English. I have been to many East Indian restaurants and I can say that this place is worth a visit as the food is decent like I said once you receive it and it did not disappoint one bit maybe they where having an off day we will definitely come back again and give it another try as there are several items on the menu.... Overall good evening with the wife read more

Puny, overpriced portions. Ordered lamb curry to go. Lots of sauce in the curry container and a few pieces of lamb which had very little flavor. If you like curry sauce over basmati rice and like to overspend, this place is for you. You don't have to take my word for it. You go ahead and fool around and find out. read more

New Indian restaurant where the old Lucky Dragon Pho was located. Delicious, authentic indian cuisine. Amazing flavors. The menu is huge, so it may be a good idea to research a bit before going to the restaurant. They have a great website that show the details of the menu. The restaurant hasn't been open very long, so they are still getting the kinks out. Many items on the menu weren't available yet, but the staff helped us with their best suggestions. Will be back soon to try out new items. Very kind staff. We even got to meet the cook! Highly recommended! read more

I will tell you this. I absolutely love this type of food, I can eat butter chicken every day for the rest of my life. So food here is fantastic. My issue is for just me and my wife eating here, we are at a minimum of $100. Do I think that food is worth it? My honest answer is no, but it won't affect me from going below 4 stars. read more

The service was horrible. Also the curries had hardly any meat for the amount of money that was payed. They cheat customers here. Very disappointed. Dine elsewhere! read more

FINALLY a delicious Indian restaurant I don't have to drive 15+ mins away for! This place is super tasty and order turnaround time was quick. We ordered the Chicken Chetinad and Malabar parotta, and it was a perfect combo, the gravy was savory and perfectly spicy and the parotta was thick and flaky. For those who usually stick to ordering only naan, give parotta a try, you won't go back! Add a delicious mango lassi and your meal is complete. A message for the owners: don't change anything because of the people complaining about it being "too spicy", these are the people who complain ketchup is too spicy, their opinion holds no weight. read more

Well it's Friday and that means my wife is picking up takeout and since there's a new restaurant in town we decided to try something from RBH. I went with Goan goat curry and my son ordered the butter chicken. I had asked for 2 stars for heat level and boy oh boy am I ever glad I did because the curry sauce was vey spicy almost thought it was too hot but after a couple of bites I was ok. The curry sauce is thick and a whole Thai pepper plus some other ingredients that I couldn't identify but were good. The pieces of goat meat were tender. You get some rice with the curry which helps cut the heat a little bit. My son liked the butter chicken and his meal wasn't spicy. My wife said the order took a little longer than expected but it's a Friday night so that might be why. I'm definitely going to try a lot more of the menu I would like to actually eat at the restaurant so I can see and smell more of the dishes they serve. I'm glad Lake Stevens has a new Indian restaurant. read more

Royal Biryani House - Goan goat curry - Indian Near Me - Lake Stevens, Washington

Butter chicken & naan were so flavorful and I have gone back multiple times because I can't get enough!

Royal Biryani just opened up in Lake Stevens and i figured, let's go and give the new business some business! We walk in and are greeted by friendly staff, told to sit anywhere we like and so we do! Upon seating you can see that the tables, chairs and booths are the same furniture that was there when the place was lucky dragon pho.. Reusing furniture, not a huge deal.. but nothing screamed NEW which took away from the "grand opening" feeling. On to ordering! The menu is vast with all the things you'd expect to see. We order Samosas, Chicken Tikka, Chicken vindaloo (they were out of lamb) and two orders of Garlic Naan. Samosas came out Luke warm, and I'm pretty sure they're the ones we buy frozen from Costco.. The Naan was good, the tikka was good too. Vindaloo was just ok, as it was lacking that deep rich spiciness I'm used to. My biggest gripe with this place though??? Cutlery and dishes!!! Water came in a plastic cup. Forks and knives were wooden. Plates were wooden. Maybe, this is to avoid hiring a busser, but it really downgraded the experience. If i wanted to eat take-out style i wouldn't have come in for a meal. If this was a food truck it all would have made sense.. but it's a sit down restaurant. We might consider this place for takeout in the future as that's clearly what it's built for and the Tikka was tasty but I wouldn't go back and dine in again. read more

It should be Zero stars. We ordered all our take-out dishes "mild" spice level and the food was completely inedible except the Naan & Roti breads. We are breathing fire! I had to return to the restaurant. We were told that was the least amount of spice possible. Manager did give us a full refund. I strongly suggest tasting your Mild takeout before heading home. Too bad, Lake Stevens needs new restaurant options and we will have to go to Red Chilli in Everett for our Indian food fix. read more

I had lunch here and very much enjoyed the butter chicken, and the garlic naan. The service was attentive and the ambiance was bright and warm. Heads up- it is in the old Lucky Dragon restaurant but the directions send you to the Taco Bell. Some things to note, just fyi- They close for a period between lunch and dinner on some days. They are connected to the Indian place in Bothell. I will definitely be back! I am grateful for a close Indian restaurant in the area. read more

The food was tasty. My friend and I ordered 2 different dishes. Mine came out first and then my friends dish came out over 10 minutes later. The butter chicken was great but the servings were small plus you had to pick rice or naan as your side. The side of rice wasn't very big and we ended up ordering 2 butter naans. The cost before tip was $50 for the butter chicken, tandoori chicken 2 naans and a diet coke. Its got good food but the service could be better, such as serving all the guests at the table at the same time. The portions could be a little larger. The naan order came with 1 piece cut i to 4 pieces. Lastly, get some A/C and turn off that giant fan pointing right at the booths. Its loud and cools my food faster than id like read more

Like others have said, a good local Indian restaurant is so nice to have in Lake Stevens! Flavorful, delicious. As leftovers the flavors blend even more. If you don't like spicy, the base level of medium has a decent amount of heat so you might want to add a note or adjust. I love spicy so it was great. read more

So excited to finally have an Indian restaurant in Lake Stevens! They have taken over the old Lucky Dragon Pho spot, but have changed it a bit and added really fun bright colors and designs to give it a great ambiance! We ordered online for pick up at about 8pm and everything was ready by the time we arrived 30 minutes later. We got a bunch of stuff since it was our first time and I wanted to try a variety (and my fiancé hasn't had much Indian food so I needed to figure out what he liked). In total it was about $75 - which for the amount of things we ordered seemed perfectly reasonable. A better deal than most places we end up. They have a TON of different kinds of Biryani in addition to the classics you expect from Indian restaurants. Plenty of options for vegetarians and non vegetarians alike. I had a very hard time trying to pick which Biryani to try so I think next time we'll eat there so we can ask more about the differences between them all. The portion sizes seemed normal for other Indian take out I've had - and you always get a ton of rice! Here's the breakdown of everything we got: - Samosas: your typical potato/pea/spices kind. You get 3 very large ones per order. These were delicious! A tiny bit spicy if you're really sensitive to that. I'm not sure what the other review was hating on about these - they were great! - Chicken Tikka Masala (Mild): Both of our favorite dish and it lived up to expectations. The sauce was delicious, and while it never seems like there's a lot of chicken, the chunks were pretty large so once cut up a bit there was plenty. The sauce is really the star here anyway! It wasn't spicy at all. - Aloo Gobi Masala (Mild): Packed with flavor and the potatoes and cauliflower were perfectly tender. Fresh cilantro on top really brightens it up. Again, a tiny bit spicy if you're sensitive. (Also great with mint chutney!) - Bezawada Boneless Chicken Biryani (lowest spice level offered is Medium, which we got): I didn't know the differences between all the types of Biryani so I ordered this one a bit blind. First off, it is SPICY even at a medium level so if you can't handle any spice - definitely don't get this. It tasted great when my mouth wasn't on fire. My fiancé really liked it despite the heat. Plus, there was tons of it! I think next time I'll try to find if there's a less spicy biryani because I'm a wimp. - Garlic Naan: We got one order which turned out to be one really big naan cut in half. I think next time we'll get two orders so we'll have more to go with leftovers. It was nice and pillowy and had great garlic flavor. I also ordered an 8oz side of mint chutney but I didn't really need to. The order came with a few different sauces, chutneys and raita which were plenty for the two of us. Overall - we are both really pleased with the quality and flavor of everything we got. We will definitely become regular customers now! read more

food was pretty dry and serving sizes were small for the price. we had higher expectations...definitely could have been better.
