    Chicken curry and chicken Tikka masala in the back
    Jay L.

    Went to bury the hatchet next door and ended around lunchtime so as hungry axe throwers, we were naturally drawn to the smell of food and curry next door at Royal. I have only had Indian food (at a restaurant) once before and it wasn't the greatest experience, but this time was different. Place was clean and we were welcomed to sit as a table of six. A few other patrons there, but not overwhelmingly busy. Prices for entree dishes ranged from $12-$18 on average, so we all went with the samosas, garlic naan and different versions of curry. I went with the standard chicken curry and tasted a friend's chicken Tikka masala. Both were really good, but if you prefer more of a creamy texture, go with the Tikka. Garlic naan came out hot and fresh, fairly large as well. Overall, great food and experience for lunch and would def re-visit if I'm in in the area.

    Papdi Chaat appetizer.

    It's been a long time since I've eaten at Royal Curry, and I'm happy to report it's still excellent! We started with the Papdi Chaat and it was perfect to get our appetite excited, as it cast a wide spectrum of flavors and textures. It was salty, sweet, and spicy along with being creamy and crunchy. We particularly liked the sweet yogurt sauce. No Indian meal is complete without bread, so we ordered a Tandoori Roti and the interesting sounding Peshwari Naan. Tandoori Roti was good; nicely toasted and with just enough ghee to add flavor. The unique Peshwari Naan was really tasty with chopped cashews, golden raisins, and shredded coconut all studded into the bread. Having both coconut and golden raisins, the Peshwari Naan was more sweet than savory, and the cashews gave a bit of crunch and nutty flavor. It also was baked to a nice crisp toastiness. I decided to go for a vegetarian entree in the Shai Panir Burji. It looked like scrambled eggs but was far beyond that generic dish. The cottage cheese medley with onions, peas, and tomatoes was so richly flavored with spices that each bite was so enjoyable. Both the onions and tomatoes gave a nice tangy contrast to the rich cottage cheese. Note this is a dry spiced dish so it was very easy to use either bread as a vessel to scoop up the Shai Panir Burji. My sister ordered one of her favorites in the Chicken Saag and she remarked it tasted just as scrumptious as she remembered. The Saag blend was earthy and rich. The pieces of chicken were very tender and absorbed so much flavor from the Saag blend. Great to see Royal Curry is maintaining their high quality!

    Food was amazing, great flavors and spice! Service was also good. Very friendly people

    Garlic naan, Lamb tikki massala, and chicken vindaloo (medium spicy)
    Sarah K.

    They were supposed to close at 9:30pm. We walked in around 9 on a Tuesday night. They took us in. It was empty at the time. We ordered garlic naan, Lamb Tikki Massala and Chicken Vindaloo medium spicy. For medium spicy it was hot. Our favorite was the lamb tikki massala. It was delicious. Kinda pricey but overall a good close spot in Laurence Harbor area.

    Excellent Service. Decent Indian food...can't complain. Ordered the Chicken Tikka Marsala, Lamb Korma, Garlic Naan, and mix appetizer. Leave the place smelling like Indian goodness and having that taste in your mouth for days to come. LOL

    Vegetable samosa, paneer tikka masala, chicken makhni, & naan take out
    Samson L.

    Came here for take out. Was in the area and looking for an Indian restaurant that was open all day as opposed to just dinner hours and was pleased to see it fit the bill, plus had good ratings on Yelp! Ordered vegetable samosa app, naan, chicken Mahkni (regular spicy), and paneer tikka masala (mild). Everything I ordered tasted pretty good. I never ordered chicken mahkni before, so I'm not sure what it's supposed to taste like. It tasted similar to tikka masala sauce. The spice level was not spicy enough, even though I ordered it regular. I do taste some spice, so it's more of a mild for me. Comparably, the paneer tikka masala for the kids had little or no spiciness. Restaurant was dim, with typical Indian decor. Nothing fancy. Owner was friendly, and prices were ok. Definitely would come back. Love that it's open all day and not close between lunch and dinner.

    NOT butter chicken
    Sam G.

    Nope! Won't go again! First let me say my 13 year old Daughter and I were excited to try this place from the reviews. The Korma was tasty, naan and saag paneer ok, but that's where the good in the review ends. Walking in the place is underwhelming and weirdly decorated with dollar store shiny streamers hanging from the drop ceiling and hardly any lights, and not the warmest attitude from a woman mopping in the back (you can see the kitchen area from the tables). We felt like we were bothering them. We already knew what we wanted walking in, butter chicken, naan, korma and saag paneer. I specifically ask the waitress is the butter chicken white meat otherwise we will order something else, she says yes it is..food comes and looks great but not only is the chicken not white meat, it is sinewy dark meat with tendons and very gamey tasting, we both spit it out in our napkin, it's just something we have a problem eating. I dig through the little bowl and it's all the same meat. It takes us about five minutes to get the waitresses attention (she's back to mopping the kitchen whole the chef stands there) shouldn't that be done when the customers are gone? I guess that is why we were the only customers in the place. I tell her nicely we asked if it was made with dark meat because we don't eat that, is this goat or chicken? She said it's chicken, I show her in the bowl you can clearly see it's small pieces of some type of dark meat..she says, let me ask the chef and walks away. We can hear them talking, chef sounds angry and annoyed. She comes back and says, he will make it with white meat. She brings a dish back quickly, not enough time for chicken to cook through so I was thinking ok maybe that was goat the first time, now we will get yummy butter chicken. Wrong! We each take a bite and immediately spit it out, it tastes so bad. We start to scrap away the sauce to see skewer marks and the unmistakable red from a tandoori. So they took a tandoori chicken skewer which is basically a meatball mixed with spices which they had in the back and put it in butter chicken sauce. It was disgusting!! Those flavors don't mix well. Again it takes us another five minutes to get the waitress to come out front. I explained, this is tandoori chicken in here, she said well you wanted white meat so he made it for you. I said yes white meat butter chicken not tandoori it's a completely different taste. She goes to get the chef. He came out standing over myself and my child with such an attitude as of we annoyed him! Then he has the audacity to tell me that is how it's made. I said no butter chicken is simmered in the sauce it does not have tandoori skewed chicken in it, I explained that we would not have ordered if the waitress didn't lie to us and tell us it was made with white meat. He said it's a mix of meat but if you want white meat that's how we make it, he shrugged and walked away and CHARGED us for that atrocious food, even though we clearly didn't eat it. They should be embarrassed to serve this food. It's fine, we paid and tipped but will never again and if you want to know what kind of meat you are eating, I suggest you don't either. No one should pay hard earned money for crap mystery meat food!

    Is it BYOB?

    Yes!

    Does this location allow BYOB?

    Sure does!

    I'll be treating my friends here soon. I read it's a great place and the menu. Im aware it is pricey but worth it so to prepare my budget agenda for that day...around how much is the VAT & service charge?

    This is in New Jersey so there is no VAT in the US. There is sales tax of 6.875% and gratuities are between 15-20% depending on quality of service.

    Is there a week day buffet ? If so what is the price?

    They don't have a buffet of any sort. Just dining in or take out. I do know that Akbar in Edison has an amazing buffet on Sundays. There's also Hoysala for South Indian food in North Brunswick-they have buffet every day. I haven't been there in a… Read more

The group had the chicken korma, butter chicken, chicken seekh kebab and tandoori chicken. All the entrees were shared and everyone enjoyed each dish. The flavor and spices were great! The butter garlic naan was amazing! We were pleasantly surprised with a small dish of rice kheer. The sweetness was the perfect ending to a delicious meal! Many people came in to get takeout while we were there. We would definitely consider this option in the future. Definitely check this place out if you enjoy Indian food!

This was all our first time eating Indian food and Reese was so helpful. Reese explained the cooking. methods and seasoning of the best selling dishes, she made easier for us to pick our appetizers and main dishes! We started with the lollipop chicken, garlic shrimp, and butter garlic Naan. The shrimp were out of this world with the creamiest sauce to dip the Naan. WOWWWW explosion of goodness. We shared different dishes for our mains, we had butter chicken, tandoori chicken, & chicken mango curry. Our mouths were having a party of outstanding flavors never had before. Each dish was unique the butter chicken was the best one for us all. The tandoori chicken was super flavorful served on a sizzling fajita dish. The mango chicken was a perfect hint of sweet and tangy. If you ever wanted to have Indian cuisine and not sure where to go, look no further than Aangara for the best experience!
