First time trying Royal Grill 37 in Toms River and it did not disappoint. I ordered the mango lassi and the tandoori chicken tikka with rice, served with cucumbers and lettuce--all for $23. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. The mango lassi was my first time trying it, and it was refreshing and perfectly balanced with the meal. On top of that, the owner/manager was incredibly welcoming and even added some baklava, which was a really thoughtful touch. Overall, great food, great service, and a great first experience. I'd definitely recommend this spot and will be coming back. Only cons No green sauce but that's a preference and chicken is dark meat . I'm more of a white meat person. Best thing so far the Baklava read more

Hubby and I stopped off here for lunch, after I had seen a lot of videos online from influencers, thought, "why not?". We both ordered the lamb and chicken over rice, naan and a side order of stuffed grape leaves, 2 sodas. Food was good, but more rice than meat. It was lunch time so very busy, we sat by the door since seating at tables were full, but it wasn't bad. We ate for a while and enjoyed it, but we took the rest home. It does a brisk business and the prices are average so it's a good deal. read more

I am not sure what happened ... the Royal Grill 37 was a regular take out location whenever we visited our daughter because they offered non-meat options and really really good food. Well, I always went for the chicken because I don't need to worry about non-meat options but the food was always really really good. One other consistency was the service! The team at Royal Grill 37, which always seems to be busy, is ALWAYS customer-focused and friendly!! For some reason it has been awhile since my daughter suggested Royal Grill 37 and I didn't know why but there are lots of options for take-out in the area but I was going to be in the area by myself and I wanted something good to eat so I called Royal Grill 37 and ordered my favorite. Chicken over Rice with extra white sauce. I walked into the small storefront restaurant that gave off a nice positive energy. Yes, I felt very welcome and that friendly team was friendly just like they always have been. They handed me the 'heavy bag' because you always get a lot of food at Royal Grill 37. But when I opened the container to enjoy my solo dinner it was ugh ... the food was not tasty and the amount of chicken was minimal on top of a big pile of rice. The side salad was ok. But it really didn't taste very good ... yes, I know I could add the tasty white sauce but that would merely hide the fact that the chicken wasn't very good. When I talked to my daughter later she said that they had stopped going there because the taste just wasn't what it used to be. Not sure what happened .... GREAT SERVICE ... LOTS OF FOOD ... REASONABLE PRICE ... but ugh, I don't think I will go back. read more

Royal Grill 37 - Falafel Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and when I saw it on Yelp with the menu and it gave me the ability to order ahead I thought why not give it a try! So glad that I did. The staff behind the counter were very nice. You can either dine in or take out. I had the Tikki chicken with rice and garlic naan, sooooo good! I really need to learn to snap a picture to post! It looked as good as it tasted. If you are in the area you need to put it on your list of places to try, you won't regret it!!! read more

We had take out from this place and it was delicious, certainly had one of the best meals in terms of Halal food (we compared it to the trucks in NYC) and felt was better. Their baklava was EXCELLENT! It was flavorful, moist, full of pistachios and left me wanting more. I tried a brown roll and the traditional triangle shaped baklava. They have a variety to choose from so that was a plus! The inside is clean and simple, and you can smell the food being cooked upon ordering. The service was great and I did not have to wait too long. My servings were actually pretty generous for the extra meat I opted for. read more

Royal Grill 37 - Baklava was one of the best - Falafel Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

Amazing food, friendly staff. I love the Gyro and I will return regularly when passing through the town. Taste like home. Thanks. Highly recommended. read more

Great place, for a vegetarian or for meat lovers alike. I placed my order online and it was ready when I arrive to pick it up and the counter person knew my name and pointed out my bag immediately. My veggie combo was very good as were the sandwiches my fellow diners got. Plenty of sauces included had no extra charge. Unfortunately the plaza where this is located is currently under construction, so the place doesn't look great from the outside and a little hard to find. I can't say that I would want to go and sit in the restaurant as it didn't look like it was comfortable nor that there would be table service. Prices seemed reasonable except for dessert, which was three pieces of baklava for $9 - would not order that again. read more

We did take out here and got the Gyro Rice Platter, Deluxe Veggie Platter, Chicken Tikka Over Rice & Pita. All was delicious and quite a feast as it was our first time here and weren't sure what to order, but wanted to try it all based on friends raving of this place. The staff were welcoming and kind. read more

Delicious! Love the chicken and lamb. They load up the containers with food, so you definitely won't go hungry here. The staff is nice and the food always comes out quick! read more

Every time I see an extremely high rating on Yelp with lots of reviews, I have to try it. There's just this burning question every time: Is that high rating warranted? This place? 100%. Affordable platters, juicy, well-seasoned meat, Indian type basmati rice, and portions that will give you leftovers and then some. The interior is just a counter and deli-style tables, so it's really more of a takeout place, but we were just passing through so we ate in. I got the #2 and my gf got the #3; either would have fed both of us. Great food. Definitely eat here. read more

I'll make sure to drift the jug-handle on Route 37 again for lunch at Royal Grill. . . The atmosphere, food, and customer service took me back to NYC in a great way. The front of the house was VERY clean and attentive to customers that are new to the flavor pairings. . . The gentleman at the register even offered samples of their chicken & rice!! I cannot wait to get back and try their lunch menus. It's a GREAT VALUE considering the portion sizes & home cooked flavor profile. (Did I mention that they have the WHITE SAUCE available) IYKYK read more

Great spot in Toms River with a lot of options and the staff is so nice. The mix deluxe is a must have and the portion is generous! We also got the chicken gyro combo and it was perfect and the pita is nice and hold up well. They have tables to sit and enjoy your food and some outside on of the plaza as well. read more

The prices here are very good. They sell a lot of food so clearly their plan is to give a great price and have people frequently come, which seems to be working as there's people always there. The high review comes from the prices mostly and speed of the food. The falafel is definitely subpar, as well as the hummus, and tahini. The grape leaves come cold but upon heating them up I could tell they were fresh and definitely made right, and very tasty. This is a great place is you want a budget friendly quick Mediterranean meal. If you're looking for higher end Mediterranean I'd highly suggest baladina which is right down the street, more expensive but much more tasty and has nice sit down area. read more

The food was very, very good exactly what you would expect a decent place the serve was excellent. Apparently it's the owners brother that is leading the march behind the counter. He really helped us get through the ordering process because it was our first time there I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The Food was great, but if youi like being mocked and laughed at by the young brats behind the counter as you'r picking up your order, then this is the place to go. They could not be professional enough to work at McD's. But that's Okay, The Diner next door it going Mediterranean, I call that " KARMA" IF you are the boss fire them before they ruin your business, you won't see my $$$$$ anymore. read more

This place is awesome! I ordered off their website and food was ready pretty quick as well as with text updates which was a nice feature. The supreme falafel pita was delicious as was the chicken over rice. Very happy I found this spot. Very clean inside as well! read more

I was in the mood for good Middle Eastern food, and stumbled upon Royal Grill 37. Ordered the lamb gyro combo (includes fries and a drink), with a side of homemade garlic nan. The food truly reminded me of a NYC halal food cart! Out of this world - gyro was stuffed with lamb meat and copious amounts of white sauce. The homemade garlic nan had a perfect texture and taste. For a Thursday night, they were definitely busy but service was quick and efficient. There is space inside the restaurant if you'd like to eat there as well. Highly recommend and will absolutely be returning. read more

Great service and outstanding value. The lamb over rice is without a doubt one of the best I have had. Would recommend the restaurant for everyon. read more

The food is fantastic. I typically get the boss platter as it has a bit of everything. Although the shopping center is unassuming the standout here is the food. This is a not to be missed place and I can't wait until I am in the area again. read more

Let me start with the nicest people! The man at Royal 37 noticed me taking pictures like a weirdo! I then told him, sorry Yelper! He was very proud to tell me they've been in business 9 years. I believe we've been going for about 5 or 6. The nice man poored my husband and I a cup of the most wonderful flavorful aromatic Mediterranean tea. The chicken Tikka was made to perfection moist, soft and filled with wonderful spices from an other world. I really want to know how they make the chicken so perfect! The rice and it's delicious seasonings a delight and last but nothing short of least the salad with chickpeas. The white sauce is also savory and Awesome! Definitely a huge fan! Bravo!! read more

Top notch service, top notch food, all around amazing. We're summer birds here and needed a good meal for a decent price. This place delivers. We've had the chicken/beef Chapli kabobs, chicken seekh kabobs, and the chicken tikka. The salad is fresh, but rice is delicious, and the sauces are a great compliment to your meal. The garlic naan is delightful and not too much garlic that you'd get tired of it. Soft and freshly made. Great takeout containers, good sustainable bags, and amazing customer service. Also, all the blue collar workers come to eat here. That's the most important. Good meals, good prices, full bellies. read more

Great Food! Friendly service! Just go easy on the Hot Sauce (the Red Hot sauce is Killer!)

The staff can be very aggressive talking, but are not mean lol. This is definitely more of a hole in the wall, but still a clean place to sit in if you want to dine inside the establishment. There was also so much food for a good price. I got two platters, as well as a side of pita and hummus, and three pieces of baklava for $37. It is cheaper to pay in cash! Everything was really yummy. The chicken had a nice spice to it That was unique. Overall really great food for a great price and will definitely return. I got the chicken and lamb and rice platter. read more

pretty good, it is halal guys type food. good thing about this place is that you can get your meats double or triple. For people trying to hit their macros it is a good thing. Workers are very friendly. Just a heads up, they do drench your plate in white sauce, which is still good. read more

The best - great food at a great price. Really best for take out. One of our go to places. Lots of food! So good!

Love the food at this place -- particularly the lamb salad, which is a great combo of temperature, textures and flavors. Warning: their hot sauce packs a punch, so start with a little and build from there. read more

Ordered burgers with fries and wings. Burgers were all well made. The patty wasn't overcooked and the burger held up well and didn't fall apart. Not a sloppy burger by any means. The fries were nice and crispy. They feel light and aren't heavy, even if you continually eat them for 5 minutes. The wings I felt were the frozen kind that you purchase in bulk. They were the least favorite thing. Overall, good experience. read more

Sigh... I had such great expectations because of all the wonderful reviews from my fellow Yelpers, but I was awfully disappointed. I got the #43 tikka and lamb to go. The lamb was hands down barely worthy of 1 star. It crumbled apart and was incredibly dry. The tikka was meh at best. Usually when I have dry food with no flavor that comes with sauce, I'll mix it all together and it's much better. I'm sad to say this wasn't the case this time. The flavors just didn't work well together. I personally don't think this place is worthy of 4.5 stars at all. read more
