Really great buffet. We got much more than we paid for had we ordered off the menu. Pretty sure our server got me sick. He was coughing all over the place without covering his mouth read more

Best Indian food I've had this side of the Atlantic! The samosa chaat (app) tasted like it had been made fresh from a street cart in Delhi; the curries were delicious and spice level was perfect (they ask mild, medium, or hot, and the medium was a true medium) and the naan came out fresh and hot. They gave us mini desserts on the house, a mango lassi style pudding and rice pudding, and they were so good I shed actual tears because the flavors took me right back to India. Please go here and support this local business! The food is worth the drive! Excellent, friendly, and very respectful service too. We can't wait to try their other locations in Placid and Plattsburgh. read more

Superb Indian food in Potsdam. I had the lamb korma and it was tender and flavorful. My party loved their dishes as well. A robot waiter was in the house, singing happy birthday to a house beat. That aside the atmosphere was cute. read more

A lovey option for a meal in a town otherwise filled with pizza. The food is flavorful and "mild" already packs enough of a spicy kick. They are generous with the plates of rice and the naan are tasty at $4 per basket. The staff are attentive and fast. read more

Royal India Grill - The buffet - Indian Near Me - Potsdam, New York

Authentic cuisine. Great lunch buffet. Friendly, helpful staff. Delicious fruit centric beverages.

Very pleasant atmosphere, great service, large portions, and above average quality on the menu items our table of three ordered. The only personal issue we had was one of the "as spicy hot as you can make it" request had the same spicy heat level as the medium level that one person in our group ordered and the second order of "as spicy hot as you can make it" wasn't spicy at all. It was still fine but for people who enjoy spicy hot food it was kind of a let down. read more

After a late soccer match, our family of ten and all ages (3yo-80yo)went to the Royal India Grill, Market st, Potsdam. They so nicely accommodated our late arrival with a lovely table setting and terrific service. The praise from our family who came from all over the world was impressive. They said that it was some of the very best Indian food that they had ever enjoyed. Server "Joy" was beyond friendly and the kids loved "Jennifer" the robot. I am a good customer of this restaurant and only wish that it could be closer so that I could go more often. Do give it a try. read more

Everything was reasonably priced and delicious. Paneer makhani was delicious and creamy. We ended with the mango yogurt dessert and it was super refreshing. read more

I'd been wanting to try this place and figured the best way would be to go to the lunch buffet. The inside is really nice, cloth napkins nice goblets for water. The waiter was very polite. Unfortunately I didn't find anything that really sent my tastebuds flying. Much of the cuisine was vegetarian or chicken based, the soup was vegetable and good but not stellar. Probably the most annoying thing was the credit card reader was portable and popped up pre-programmed tips as the waiter stood right over me. If you're into this kind of food you'd be a better judge than me - next time I'll try somewhere else. read more

My boyfriend and I always come to this restaurant and the service is top notch every time. The staff are so welcoming and friendly.

If you are a hungry college student or just passing through Potsdam, NY, check out Royal India Grill. The restaurant is between Clarkson University and SUNY Potsdam, and offers customers a variety of different dishes during lunch. Having read the reviews on Google, I decided to drive out there myself. The restaurant is very nice and clean, and there's always an attentive waiter refilling waters and seeing if you need anything. Now, I can't say how things are during dinner time or if you are ordering takeout. But if you are stopping by for the lunch buffet, it's worth the money. During my time here, I had the Chicken Marsala, Chili Paneer, Goat Saag, Plain Biryani, Onion Chutney, and Regular Naan. I also ordered Garlic Naan, Chicken Naan and Mango Lassi. The food was wonderful and you could taste all the seasoning and spices that went into each dish. The only thing that I will mention to new customers is to bring a few coins for the parking meters. Also, if you like the Naan bread like myself, you'll have to order a few extra servings. read more

The special chili masala chicken was pretty good, and the paneer naan strikes the perfect balance (so often, paneer naan veers either too far to thick decadence or relative dryness). The only Indian spot in Potsdam, as far as I've seen, so I guess locals are fortunate that it's pretty good! read more

As authentic as you will find besides being in Mumbai. ( and I have been in Mumbai multiple times )

Awesome, just awesome Indian Food in a pleasant setting and you are well taken care of! Our community is truly blessed with them in town. read more

If there's one thing that I've learned traveling all over the country for work, it's that you will find wonderful food in the least likely of places. That said, I would never have even considered trying Indian food in Potsdam, New York if the reviews weren't great. Based on the Yelp! rating, I decided to call in an order to go. I got the Goan Fish Curry and Paneer Naan. Both were outstanding. The gentleman who took my order over the phone was pleasant, and pick up was easy. I have two more weeks in the area, and they will definitely see me again! read more

I still cannot believe We went so far to Potsdam and found this place. This is one of the best Indian restaurants in the country. And affordable compared to the NYC area. read more

The lunch buffet is a great deal and they have a nice spread of different curries and sides, and each table comes with its own basket of hot naan. Service is quick! read more

My first time in Potsdam, and my first restaurant experience here. I was not disappointed. The restaurant is on the main road through the village. It's located in a charming old building that's been renovated into an inviting intimate atmosphere, with table cloths, and Indian decor. The staff is friendly and helpful. I had a generous serving of chicken biryani, and my partner had a generous serving of the chicken Tiki special. We shared the generous serving of garlic naan. Everything was delicious! The biryani was especially delicious. It may be the best I've had. We both had plenty of leftovers to take back to our hotel for another meal. Overall a delightful, friendly, and yummy experience. I highly recommend this Potsdam restaurant. If I lived here, it would be on my list of favorites. read more

I usually order takeout from this place--great serving size, quality, and the order is always correct. Every dish I try from here turns out delicious--love the pickles and garlic naan as well read more

We come frequently for the lunch buffet. The buffet food isn't spicy (which is to be expected), but is still flavorful and delicious. I have favorite items that I always get from Indian restaurants, but I enjoy that the buffet consistently has multiple vegetarian options, and I'm always trying different things. Without fail, we leave totally full, and feel the meal is really worth the price. I've ordered off the menu for both dinner and takeout, and love that you can request the spice level - my friends got mild and I went for spicy. Absolutely delicious food ordered from the menu. Finally, the wait staff are great - helpful, polite, and friendly. We are so happy to have this restaurant here in Potsdam! read more

Food is excellent, especially for the price. I recommend the shrimp korma in particular. Service is very good and the staff are very polite. Will definitely be returning. read more

I'm on my second visit through the buffet, when the man in front of me turns and says, "Can you imagine? City Food up here in the North Country." What a complement. He was right, this was just about the best Indian Food around and it would be worth driving for miles to eat here. On Monday night it is an all you can eat buffet. Normally I am much more into quality food, over quantity. But the food was so delicious here, that I had a significant quantity of it as well. Some of the many things we loved -- Goat curry, tandori chicken, paneer, chicken tikki masala, the rice pudding for dessert. Everything on the buffet was fresh, plentiful and over the top great. Service was exceptional as well, as our server checked on us consistently filling water glasses and making sure we didn't need anything else. The Indian Beer selection was also impressive as I got to try a couple that I had not seen before. The place appeared to have recently opened as the wall art was of Italian scenes, from the previous establishment. Please put Royal India Grill on your list of must visit restaurants. They have a great thing going and I'm sure they'd appreciate your support to make it work. Thanks for a memorable evening. read more

Very good food, many choices within the buffet. Lovely people, staff is sweet and checks on you many times. Had a small but really nice choice of red wines. Will definitely go back! read more

The absolute best Indian food I have ever had, perfect flavor and heat. Curry is amazing with plenty served. The best soup I have ever had was also at this place, the Royal soup. Somehow it was melt in your mouth good as a soup, the meat was flavorful. The drinks were authentic from India but with regular drinks as well. The atmosphere was great with what felt like a forever appetizer always in front of you. My favorite restaurant in the area by far, probably the best restaurant I have ever gone to. Altogether, this restaurant has a everything you would want in a meal, great service, incredible food, stupendous appetizers and drinks, and a sophisticated atmosphere to boot. A fine collection of regional beers and a good wine selection. Immaculate table presentation with a very nice tablecloth. Ok family restaurant. Everything in this restaurant is amazingly authentic. read more

The food was honestly awesome. All of it. Cube chicken worried me a little, but after getting and eating it, I loved it.

Fantastic. So good. Sooooooo good. The flavors are bright and delicious. The spice level is what you ask for. Goat and lamb are cooked to perfection. The soup i got is a revelation. Samosas and spring rolls are delightful. Definitely recommend read more

The food was pretty good and we had to order from the gluten free (celiac) menu as no one could tell me why the other menu items we not gluten free. Indian food is a go to for Celiac sufferers so I was gobsmacked to say the least as it is the first time I have ever encountered this at an Indian restaurant. But the food we had was ok, the aloo Gobi and Lamb dishes were very good, the chicken left a lot to be desired. read more

Great food, great service, wonderful people. Plenty of parking, great location. This is our favorite restaurant.

I originally came to Potsdam to try out lees Hawaiian Grill however, after finding out that they are takeout only I walked down the block. Then I saw the Indian Grill, I was immediately intrigued. as soon as I walked in the ambience, the Bollywood music and even the magnificent bar made my face light up. The waiters were very attentive when it came to filling up our glass cups of water. They gave us sufficient time to order our food. The one thing I really dislike about them is they offered us add-ons to the meals without telling us they would be extra so I said yes, just to be charge for it in the end I genuinely thought it was a part of the meal. besides that the food was amazing and the spice level was perfect. I strongly recommend this place. read more

Best food in Potsdam hands down (if you fw indian). don't sleep on this place! Most dishes are like $15 but it's actually the best Indian food I've ever had, and the portions are huge. I eat here at least once a week now. read more
