After days of non stop italian food i needed my rice fix. The lamb biryani was probably one of the best dishes i had in italy. Perfectly seasoned and accompanied with flavorful chutney. Server also gave me some raita and onions. The meal was 10/10 delicious. The service was great. Really nice and friendly staff. The ambiance was great because they had AC. Not every restaurant in italy believes in AC. This place does! read more

AMAZING tasty food. Generally, the food is NOT Indian it's just weird remixes but this food is true authenticity both in taste, preparation, service, and more. The service here is amazing the staff is really nice and the food came very fast. Its a chill Indian restaurant with Indian music playing, Indian food, but the bathrooms, unlike most stereotypes, are AMAZINGLY clean. Overall this is the best Indian restaurant in Italy. read more

This is the best Indian food I have ever had! We had the chicken tandoori platter/sampler (something like that) and the taneer naan and the garlic naan. The platter had so many different types that were all terrific and filled with flavor. The naans were so fresh it was like they were a bakery it was amazing. The staff was very kind and patient and the decor was beautiful. They brought us some chicken butter to try that after I wish we had ordered a whole thing for later! While this may not be what you think of when you come to Florence I could not recommend it more!! read more

SO GOOD. Was so tired of italian food and needed something warm and spicy and flavorful. The waitstaff was so sweet and the food came out relatively quickly! I loved how the place was decorated. The walls had these lovely murals and they were playing lively music. As soon as you walk in to the restaurant you can smell the beautiful aromas of the kitchen. I will definitely be going back. read more

Great break from the usual!! The food was delicious! Almost everyone in there was Indian/Pakistani which is a great sign. Large portions and the service was great. Delicious pickle and chutney too. Our waitress Kamal did a great job. Her English was perfect and when she saw my daughter sweating after she had some of my spicy food she brought her a glass of guava juice and said "this should help". We all had a sip so she brought us a glass. No charge. Great service really can make an experience so much better!! read more

Chicken curry, chicken madras curry, alu palak, tarka dal, and garlic naan all outstanding! Komal and Rashid provided great service. We came twice in two days and will likely be returning again! read more

Royal India - Chicken curry, chicken madras curry, alu palak, tarka dal, and garlic naan all outstanding! Komal/Rashid provided great service! - Indian Near Me - Florence, FI

Wow! It was really a great stay in Florence. My family and I were all practically dying to eat something other than pizza, pasta, and seafood. We were tired of that and were very excited to try something we hadn't seen since our home in the U.S! The samosa chaat and lamb curry were amazing! Totally recommend. If you're into a cold, refreshing drink that helps with spice, the mango lassi is the perfect choice. Also beware-- everything is spicier than it seems! My mother and sister stayed mild with their orders with the 0-spice level, and they were still impressed by the decently (but not awfully) spicy food. The employees were all very nice, and the paintings on the walls really caught your eye! Overall a fabulous stay! read more

Amazing food and service! I stopped here for lunch on the recommendation of my students who enjoyed "the best Indian food ever" there the night before. They were correct. It was absolutely delicious. The service was kind and attentive. My Chicken Tikka Masala was the best I've tasted, and I had a choice of kinds rice (I went for coconut, highly recommend). They even boxed up the rest of my meal without me having to ask. I'm going back! read more

Having been overloaded with pasta and bistecca this week, we decided to give Rolyal India a try, as it is very close to where I was staying. From the moment you walk in, you feel transported to another world. The staff there is extremely attentive to your every need. From the appetizer to the entrees to the complimentary after-dinner liqueur, this was a memorable meal. My favorite dish was the Lamb Vindaloo with coconut rice. The portions were large and each dish had its own unique flavor. I am very glad I went to Royal India and give it five big stars. read more

A fantastic Indian restaurant. Not just for Florence, not just for Italy. Truly a great dining experience. Low frills but excellent personal service. Savory and spicy north Indian dishes. Chutney and pickle was handmade with care and extremely flavorful. read more

Some of the best indian food in Florence. Service is also excellent. Our waitress Rani was very attentive, and very efficient. She was a fantastic server. Overall lovely restaurant! read more

Excellent food; lots of vegetarian options. Very gracious service and they patiently answered all our questions. read more

So wanted to love this place. I love Indian food and always try wherever I go. But the flavor, spices, freshness of ingredients were extremely lacking. When you've been eating pasta and pizza a lunch at an Indian place sounds perfect. But find another place!!!! Saag -palek paneer was horrible. Must use froze spinach. read more

Went based on other Yelpers and was impressed. Great service from Preet and Bilal, getting us a table for eight AND making sure allergy concerns were accommodated. The Tadka Dal with rice was like home cookin' and the tandoori platter was a must get. Butter naan with chicken korma and mutton do piyazi was also a hit. Best touches are the complimentary sliced onions, lemon, and chilis, as well as the chili-mint-coriander condiment. I wish they had a better beer selection, but I can easily overlook that. read more

Went to lunch here and really enjoyed how welcoming the staff was. After a delicious meal, they picked up on the fact that my wife really enjoyed one of their sauces so they packed one up for her to take home. Very nice people with beautifully decorated restaurant and some great Indian food. Also, very affordable. Highly recommend. read more

Great Indian food in Italy! If you told me I'd have one of the best Indian meals (and I eat a LOT of Indian in New York), I would have laughed. The food, service, everything is top-rate! Highly recommend. read more

After 5 days in Italy surrounded by the fabled local fare, I felt a bit ... what's the word? Jaded. Is it possible that Italian food is actually better in America? Could it be that Italian food is really just about numbing the senses with wine first, and then singing Amore to whatever is on offer on the platter? I was desperate for something flavorful, and this place offered aromatic, flavorful, wholesome, delicious, well balanced, soul food. Restaurant itself is tiny and not a fine dining joint, but the food is oh so fine! My favorite meal in 15 days of travel from Venice to Amalfi was to be had 5 days into the journey in Florence at (say after me in Italian accent, two palms up, and a flailing of the arms) 'Reale Indiano'! read more

Best Indian food in Florence!! We got the butter chicken, naan, and rice and it was delicious!

Great food and even better customer service , I should call out Karan as very friendly and care about customer a lot.

Although google review and other reviews gives it very high star rating, I disagree. The service is very slow and the host takes the excuse of that the place is busy. The food quality is not good. We ordered tandoori chicken, and it came all burnt. Even after that the host charged for it rather than taking the price off. After we ordered food, it took almost 45 minutes for the food to come. For people visiting Rome, there are better places than royal india. read more

Very good food. I was really tired of the normal pizza and pasta. I grew up with great indian food so I can tell you that this place is legit! Great indian food! Very authentic! Go to this place and order the tandoori platter and the chicken tikka masala! You will tank me later! read more

Amazing food delivered consistently. We came here twice on our 4 day stay as the food was so healthy,m and yummy. The food was served quickly and they check a few times and made sure that everything was great. The restaurant always clean and ambience was very good. It was very relaxing to eat here after a long day of sight seeing. Highly recommend the place. read more

We have a lot of Indian restaurants where we live in the San Francisco Bay Area. My family agreed that this is some of the best Indian cuisine we have had. We ordered our usual selections we order at home and they all exceeded our expectations. The chicken tikka was more tomato based than home, but also more flavorful. The tandoori chicken was tender. Our server, Kamal, was friendly and recommended a lovely dessert of mango pudding, which was fantastic, even if it wasn't what we were expecting for pudding. read more

Amazing good and amazing service. Kiran was our server and he was soooo kind and helpful. We loved our experience there and will definitely be back. Thank you guys!!!! read more

After eating Italian food for a few days, we wanted a break and decided to get some Indian food. Being an Indian, I am generally a bit over critical about Indian food. But I knew we were in Florence, and the quality and taste will be a bit different. There are some servers are this place who were super friendly, and some expression-less. There was this one gentleman who was at the front desk, who was super friendly, and was chatting with us later on. He asked us if we liked the food and for suggestions. Now to the food. I ordered the following: - Samosa Chat: Even though this was delicious, its spicy. Yes - I am an Indian and don't eat very spicy food. And I definitely found it spicy and had to let my hubby finish it up. So if you don't eat spicy food, avoid this dish. - Chana Bhatura: This was good as the bhatura was not too oily. The channa wasn't as amazing as I have eaten before, but was delectable nonetheless. - Gulab Jamun: This was ok. I knew it wasn't freshly made, but heated in a microwave. My hubby ordered a chicken dish and loved it. I am sure the other dishes at this restaurant will be good too. If you need a break from Italian food, definitely give this one a try. read more

You can definitely get sick of eating pizza and pasta in Italy! My fiancée and I were in dire need of Indian food -something with spice. We happened to come across this gem of a restaurant. The food is unbelievably delicious. We ordered the boti lamb, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan and rice. I wasn't expecting much as we were in Florence and Indian food is not their forte. However this place blew my expectations right out. It was flavourful, fresh and priced very well. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! It's not your typical Indian restaurant that makes bland food to cater to the non Indians. read more

Best Indian food I have had in a long time, pure flavourful without heavy cream, crispy naan, great samosas The food reminded me of India Great location and great food Ps great toilet(clean and hygienic) as a tourist that's very important for me! read more

Such a great atmosphere, food and staff. So kind. So tasty . No complaints. A must try while in Florence!

Funny story actually... This place didn't have Wi-Fi so the wife and I went to the Indian Palace just two doors down to grab the chicken 65 "not offered" at this place, and to use their free Wi-Fi to find reviews on both. Indian Palace has great Chicken 65 but the Wi-Fi spotty at best. Anyhow after seeing great reviews for Royal India and seeing nothing on Indian Palace, we decided to go there for dinner... I'll start by saying we are not Indian food rookies and have eaten it all over the world. So why the crappy review... First when we sit down we immediately notice that there is absolutely no difference in the table spice tray or "munchies" which more than likely was taken from our table two doors down and given right back to us. When asked if they were owned by the same person, we were informed that they were but this was Northern Indian and Indian Palace was Southern. Later after peeking my head in their kitchen while visiting the toilet, I saw that they were simply serving all dishes from the several large pots and not making anything fresh. Also the table spices were being simply stirred up and being reserved. Terrible for those that hate double dippers. The food was just okay and the butter chicken I ordered was runny like soup. The Korma my wife orders was better but likely from yet another pot. Lol. Onto service... service was complete crap. I'm not a racist bigot however gotta be honest... we order naan and received 1 piece cut into two pieces and were charged full price. All Indian people would order and get baskets full of naan even for the same amount of people (2). We had to ask 3-4 times for our check and received very little attention while the Indians would simply snap their fingers and wholla! Waited on hand and foot. We asked for a 2 too near the front, but they set us in the back but guess who they set at the front even though it wasn't reserved or taken when we got there. Yep ya guessed it; the Indians. Again not racist but I refuse to believe this was customary treatment. In summary; I highly advise you look elsewhere if you can. There are so many around that you have options. read more

Fantastic food. Servers were very kind and respectful. We got 2 subzis, dal tadhaka and malai kofta, with Naan and rice and mango lassi on the side. Would definitely come again! read more

The best experience. Kiran was our waiter and made sure our group had everything we needed. The mango lassi was amazing as well.

Amazing and authentic Indian food. Their lamb and chicken dishes are the best, and the service and staff is so friendly and homely.

"the best authentic Indian restaurant in Florence" About Food: North-East of US, Venice and Florence combined, this is so far the best Indian restaurant I have been which serves quality curry with a friendly price tag. About Service: Mr.Sharma at this establishment is a true representation of a humble and down to earth friendly Indian you can meet. He guided us through the menu, gave us good suggestions which we were pleased to order and was always around to ensure we attended. when at Florence, do try this. read more
