Long wait for food that was ok? Butter chicken masala asked for no spice- ended up spicy Mango curry - this was good loved the sweet flavor definitely would order this again if I went there. Shahi korma - I did not try this because my friend ordered this as spicy but she said it was good. Sadly couldn't do the 5 stars- while waiting for a table is common- being passed over by wait staff and waiting for them to provide service is different. Even in busy places a check in is common. Over all food was good not amazing Service was questionable. read more

Royal Everest - Menu - Indian Near Me - Burien, Washington

Service was slow but the person was attentive. First time and we ordered Samosa, China, Aloo Gobi, Naan 3 ways, and Chicken Tikka Masala. We asked for spice level 2. Food was flavorful although my bro found the Chana very salty. I tried the Kashmeri Naan which had coconut and figs/raisins. Very tasty! The spice level was perfect for level 2. We may go higher next time. Samosa was delicious. Ratio of filling to wrap was perfect. The Aloo Gobi was perfect! The chicken Tikka Masala was excellent. Overall a great experience. read more

This place is on a strip with other restaurants so parking can be difficult. We ordered the butter chicken Marsala, paneer naan, combination grilled meats, and lamb momos. The butter chicken was a bit salty but flavor was great. The naan was okay but could use more stuffing. The combination meats was a good amount of food and came out on a sizzling plate. The best meat was probably steak. The chicken on the platter was also not dry as it looked. My favorite was the mono which is like a dumpling with tomato and sesame sauce for dipping. The restaurant was extremely quiet but they did have many take out orders so ambiance was great. Service was quiet but efficient. Would come back here. read more

My go to spot for Indian food. I really enjoy the chicken tikka masala, paneer anything, water. We also tried these nepalian dumplings and I loved them. I just have a good time here. The service is good as they bring you food simple as that. No need for some fake laughs, just put the food down! Ambiance is what it is but overall I have been like 8 times at this point? read more

Friendly staff, excellent tasting food, quick service, and very relaxing environment with good Indian music. The space was simple and laid back. Wish the naan bread was larger in size but they made up for it with good rice portions. Chicken tandoori was good and the servicer was very kind and patience with us. read more

Royal Everest - Chicken Vindaloo with naan and raita. - Indian Near Me - Burien, Washington

I have been a couple times now and have enjoyed the meal each time. Last night we had a late dinner with my wife's sisters and brother-in-law. I had the Chicken Tikka Masala level 2, wife had Chicken Curry level 1. My brother had the same except goat. His wife had the Lamb Biryani. We ordered a garlic and plain naan. I think my wife's curry was spicier than my level 2. It was edible but a little too spicy for my wife's preference. I think that they use a base curry that they add spice to in order to increase the heat. Great depth of flavor that shows the sill level: read more

We stopped in for a bite after bowling. We got seated immediately and ordered Aloo Gobi, Coconut Curry with Chicken, and Tandoori Chicken. They were all out of the kitchen quickly and tasted delicious. The 2 of us had plenty to take home for leftovers. There was only one other customer in the restuarant with us at 5pm. The waiter said that most of their business is take out. read more

Good place for Indian food. I'm basic and usually get the butter chicken. It always comes out as I expect it. Servers are really nice and attentive. Restaurant is clean and inviting. Definitely recommend. read more

Absolutely lovely addition to Burien! I arrived shortly after opening on a Saturday and was promptly greeted. Our server spoke very, very softly, but thankfully we were the only ones in the restaurant. On a busy evening I'd really struggle to hear him. I like that they took the guess work out of the spice level and explicitly state that it's Americanized. I opted for some veggie kofta, 4 stars. I wish I went with a 5, when they say Americanized they're not kidding! Garlic naan, of course, which was overall quite good. My dining partner is new to Indian cuisine and went with the chicken tikka masala, which was well received. They brought out a single plate of rice and let us know they'd be happy to bring more when needed. I washed it all down with a mango lemonade, which was delightful! While I was here 5 or 6 other people came in for pick up, all Caucasian, though they already straight up tell you it's Americanized and not authentic, so I suppose I'm not surprised. Overall I enjoyed my lunch, plenty of leftovers and I got my money worth, and I'd happily eat here again. read more

Very good food! I had the Chicken Tikka and I was not disappointed. Servers were really nice and let us do our thing. The overall restaurant wasn't fancy, but wer'e all here for the food anyways right? read more

The food here was pretty good, I am personally a huge fun of Indian food, specifically Tikka Masala. The Tikka Masala was very flavorful, the Raita was fresh and creamy, the naan could've been thinner, it felt a little pizza dough, but that's just my personal preference. The staff working there were extremely pleasant. They were always looking for a way to help; moving empty plates out of our way and bringing us extra napkins and utensils when needed. They even asked if we wanted to me to a booth when we first sat at a smaller table in the center of the restaurant, which I thought was very thoughtful because although I wanted to move in my head, I wouldn't have asked if they hadn't asked me! The restaurant itself was very cozy and inviting. It was relatively lit, which I highly like about restaurants, I want to be able to see. Overall, great place. read more

Really great Indian food. We had the chicken daal, chicken biryani, and chicken tikka masala. The food didn't sit really heavy which we were expecting after the amount we ate. Our main comments are that the spice scale is pretty tame and the dishes were a little sweeter than expected. The 4/5 biryani was starting to get spicy, but the 2/ 5 and 3/5 were very mild. The sweetness was not enough to keep me from wanting to eat here everyday and I hate sweet and savory food. The selection was huge. We didn't try any of the Nepalese dishes, so I can't comment on them. read more

My go to spot for Indian south of Seattle. I will usually drive here from Renton when the cravings strike. The flavor is consistent, unlike some other places where it's obvious when another person is cooking for that day. The naan is on the smaller side, though, so make sure you get an order per-person! I usually get to-go, but service has always been very friendly and welcoming. read more

Very good food and prompt service. Would go back again! Great little hole in the wall

Wow. I was new to Indian food, and while visiting my daughter and her BF, I, my BFF and "the kids" went to this amazing place. Delicious food. Tandoori Chicken, Coconut Curry Chicken (my fave), and other things I cannot remember the names of. I have had store-bought Naan many times, but their homemade Garlic Naan is heavenly. Fluffy with a little bit of crunch. SO delicious! For dessert, I got some gorgeous Chai Milk Tea and Rice Pudding, which is not like any I've had before. Their Rice Pudding is a but thinner, with pistachios and raisins. I absolutely went nuts over it. We all did! The wait staff was very friendly. I can see why my daughter and her boyfriend are in love with the place! read more

Been meaning to try this place for years. I'm surprised it wasn't busier because I thought the food was really good. I love how they have 3 veggie options for each meal tofu, veggies, or paneer. The paneer tikka masala was delicious and the chicken tikka masala as well. Will definitely come back when wanting Indian food again. read more

Service is very attentive. Food was just okay in my opinion but the people beside me kept raving about how this place is the best in Burien. If you have an itch for nepalese/indian food this place will certainly scratch that itch; but better can be found if you're willing to drive to the Eastside. (My current preference is Turmeric Kitchen). read more

Really pleased with our (party of two) first experience at this restaurant! We happened to be in the area, and in the mood for this type of cuisine, and Yelp led us here. The Tikka Masala (chicken) and Jalfrezi (fish) were both tasty, and the Garlic Naan was very good accompaniment. Our friendly and attentive server, Mohammad, brought us some more White Basmati Rice, just when we needed ( the original serving size was on the small side for two). We might try the Non-Vegetarian Dinner for Two next time. There will definitely be a next time. It was not hard to find nearby parking, despite the bustling dinner scene on this Burien street. We will be back to Burien too. Lots of interesting-looking eateries there. read more

Big fans on Indian and Nepalese food here, and Royal Everest scratched the itch we had for curries and creamy flavor packed dahl. The two of us went for the Vegetarian dinner for two. The "Dinners for Two" is the way to go, 100%. These dinners come with an appetizer, an order of their basic Dahl, two more entrees, white rice, and a dessert! The veggie pakoras were an awesome and interesting start. Then we opted for a couple more vegetarian mains to go with the dahl, one with Chana and Paneer, and one with peas and potatoes. We ended with a fries dough ball soaked in some kind of syrup - I can't remember the name, but it was just a few bites and was the perfect ending. We had SO many leftovers it was beautiful. We plan to go back soon and try two more main dishes with this Dinner for Two option. The table next to us was raving about the okra dish, so we'll try that one for sure. Can't wait! read more

Excited to be trying this place out after my friend invited me but I was unable to attend because he gave me the wrong date. So there I was, eager to indulge first in some chai to help calm the nerves. Such a treat to sit back and enjoy the Indian music while taking in the smell and taste of all the spices. Quality food made from quality ingredients! We ordered vegetarian samosas while we waited on the main dish, chicken palak. It was delicious! I was able to share the plate with my two kids so the portion size is nice. We had to try the desserts, naturally, and I'm glad we saved room (barely) because it was amazing. Guys, don't sleep on it he mango ice cream because it legit taste like mango. I got the gulab jamun (warm) and it was the perfect end to my last bit of chai. 5/5 would recommend! read more

The only thing I don't like about this place is that they're a 20 minute drive from my home, but I still make the trek. I've never had anything from the menu that I didn't love.

My first time here as I usually go to Indian Bistro in Des Moines. In comparing the two, I would say the service here was above and beyond. As far as the quality of food and the amount given for the price, I have to say I find them comparable even though a friend of mine last night thought Royal Everest was so much better. Perhaps it's because what I ordered, which was butter chicken, came and was simply lukewarm and then I also had a big piece of cartilage which is never a good thing. I also ordered the cauliflower naan but quite honestly couldn't taste any cauliflower in it. I thought everything was very good, not exemplary. read more

Food is good, flavors for our curries were correct and not scrimped on in the spice department. The naan was yummy; samosas were thinly wrapped and crispy, great filling; the deserts a bit standard. My one complaint, no fresh sweet lassi. The mango lassi was tasty but overly thick and heavily sweetened. Service was courteous and efficient. Menu was the usual roster of Indian dishes, but offered great combination possibilities for their two-person dinner deal. Making all their dishes in either vegetarian or non-veg is their big plus. Decor is sadly lacking--looks like it used to be a bar or pizza place--but, BUT: Booths!!! Nice comfy seats! Just dress it up a bit. It's pricey enough that I might keep it to special occasions--ours came to ~$40 person--but it is delicious and plentiful. read more

The person that answered the phone is super helpful. I was able to get the information I needed for me to pick up the order on time. The tikka and butter chicken is mostly sauce and it's very watery. The taste wise for the sauce was pretty good. A decent amount of chicken but comes in a quart for take out. The must have is the mango lassi but it only comes in one side when ordering take out which is pretty small. The reason this didn't get higher stars was because I ate this at night and spent 30 mins on the toilet from a stomachache. That is unacceptable and means the food is probably not fresh. Definitely avoid if you don't want diarrhea. read more

We ate lunch at this restaurant and was very pleased with the service and ambience. Our waiter was very helpful in selecting the five dishes that we ordered --Dahl, chicken tiki masala, lamb korma, spinach paneer, and palak. Every dish was super tasty and delicious. The waiter was considerate and asked us how much heat (rating system) we wanted in the cooking. The meal came out hot and in time. We definitely enjoyed the meal and will come back to this quaint Burien location! read more

Royal Everest is one of our favorite Indian restaurants around! The taste is very authentic, not light on spices. We always get the non-veg dinner for 2 which is $56 and comes with soooo much food that we always have leftovers. It's such a great deal. Our favorite dishes are the samosas, butter chicken, saag paneer, and mattar paneer. We recently tried the fried cauliflower appetizer and it is one of our new favorites. The same two gentlemen are always working and they are always a pleasure and attentive. It can be busy on a Friday or Saturday night but is worth the wait. read more

I ordered take out through doordash. The vegetable samosas were tasty, the shahi korma was rich and flavor full, the vindaloo was equally as good, and the naan was warm and tasty. So good! Only bad thing was they didn't send silverware, but we received some from our hotel. read more

Mediocre restaurant. Not a lot of Indian/Nepali restaurants around this area so this is your place if you are craving Indian/Nepali food, you don't want to commute and/or you don't want to make it yourself. We ordered chicken biryani and coconut fish curry to go. Chicken biryani had literally only 4 chicken bites and tons of rice. Little mushy but flavorful. It would be great if they added more chicken and less water to the rice. Coconut fish curry was overly sweet. Coconut taste was missing. Not a fan. We walked in to the restaurant and ordered, no greetings no eye contact not even giving you a menu. What is that? read more

I've only gone for lunch and while it seems unassuming, it's a treasure. I've smelled the food coming from this place whenever I'm in the junction and it's always been a reminder "hey I'm need to try that place". Boy, am I glad I finally went. So far I've only had Indian basics (butter chicken, palak paneer, coconut curry, naan and samosas) but man have they all been dynamite. Service is super friendly. I can't wait to try more and move into the Nepali side of the menu. Lunch ambiance is quiet and calm. A great place to sit eat and think. A great place to dip your toe into Indian food if you looking to give it a try. read more
