    Maybe its because I have had lots of Indian food in Vancouver. I want to say this place is wow but its mediocre. I know its not fair to say Indian food is not as great as back in Vancouver when there is a higher population of Indian people there / Indian restaurants. Overall it was ok. I came here and did the all you can eat lunch buffet. It does have a very good selection of food. Food tasted ok. I did notice one or two tiny fruit flies flying around. Also if you check in on Yelp, you get a free chai tea.

    The naan stole the show. The nan alone gets one star. It was of the thinner more crispy type, not the thick fluffy type. Three stars for the curry. I did not think it was better than the other smaller Indian places around Calgary. Personally, I prefer the smaller mom & pop Indian restaurants. Royal India would be good to host banquets or company events, the place is huge and even has a dance floor. Overall, the experience was not bad and I would go back.

    The first time I was confronted with Royal India's buffet, my stomach expanded six times. Buffets are not my friend, and this had a selection of all of my favourites - delicious butter chicken, fresh cooked Naan, paneer, samosas, paneer, vindaloo. My plate was full like a little mountain, and I felt like I was going to explode for the rest of the day. Which was a bad thing, because at the time I worked in the building above the Royal India. Try concentrating when you are about to burst. My proximity to the restaurant meant that I went back for lunch a few more times - while exercising careful restraint of course. And the second time around I noticed that while it is pretty decent Indian food, it isn't quite stellar. Quality is sacrificed for quantity, at least buffet wise. Also, can I just say that the service here is pretty stellar. A full star full of service actually - I was debating three but they have never been anything but courteous, helpful and kind. They legitimately ask about your day, and are always quick to fill water glasses and to take away dirty dishes but also to let you linger if you want.

    Not the worst food ever, but it's not trying to be good, tasty, or anything reasonable. Order from anywhere else is an improvement.

    Food was requested for Medium spice but was extremely spicy. Didn't sound like they care about customer service at all.

It is quite…read morenew, having opened sometime in 2023 (I think) but judging by its other reviews it has already made quite the impression on those who've found it. Upon taking a quick, curious look online at this place after my first meal, I was surprised to find that this place is not (yet) regarded in discussion about Calgary's finest Indian restaurants, as the meal I'd enjoyed had easily suggested that to me. From my perspective, the name of this business is exactly the service it provides. I did not recognize much of the menu outside of what is normally on an Indian restaurant in North America, aka about 50%. I used Google for a lot of the dishes because I've only ordered online, but other reviews have said that the staff are very friendly and are happy to take any questions. It is consistently amazing, quality food at a reasonable price. The menu is large but doesn't seem to buckle under its size whatsoever, everything I've had had been wicked fresh, implausibly flavourful and impeccably quality. I hope this place finds a lot of success! It is still young but I believe it has the makings of a legend among Calgary restaurants. Take the Passage.

    Excellent Food and Service. The owner is passionate about serving authentic and good Indian food…read more Their homemade ice cream is tastes awesome. Overall a great experience for us.

    Monday night dinner. It was great. First thing I will stress is that this is a modern take or…read moreIndian fusion. Great place to come if you are ok with that. Hugo stepped in and helped since our primary server was busy. He did an amazing job and made sure our experience was top notch. I started with the wicket looking for a spicy and sweet cocktail. It was ok, the garlic chili oil was a bit strong and took over the rest of the flavors. I wanted wine with the meal and Hugo went above and beyond. He brought out 3 recommendations with healthy sampler pours as well as the bottle to take pictures if I liked one of them. His choice of the riesling was spot on. It was not too sweet as I asked and had some earthy notes to it. He had the lamb kati and curry and chips for an appetizer. The lamb kati was outstanding. The ground lamb was cooked perfect with a hint of spice and flavored very well. We got chicken on the curry and chips. That was also very good, my only feedback was the chicken although flavored well was just a touch dry (would probably do the ground lamb next time). For diner we both had the lamb entree with a side of basmati rice and naan. The entree was outstanding, the lamb had a nice salt and pepper crust with great flavors. The naan was soo good, I called them elephant ears because of the size. They were flavored so good. We did not let a drop of the rogan josh sauce got to waste. Even though full we tried a bite of their deconstructed cheesecake type dessert. It was refreshing and lightly sweet. A tasty bite. Great experience, great food and even better service.

We came during lunch time and there was quite a bit of space, so we were able to be seated quickly. The interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated, with an ambience that would be good for hosting events. For the food we decided to order the Chili Chicken, a Kati Roll with Lamb Keema, and chicken. I think that the food here was flavored well and I especially enjoyed the Kati Roll as the paratha was really crispy. The portions are a bit on the smaller side though, especially for the price of each dish. Overall, I think it's a nice restaurant to have Indian food at if you're visiting Calgary.
