Mango Lassi
Christine B.

LOVED!!!! Def my new fave local indian place. The servers were so kind and kept checking up on us. The food even came out so quick! Food was sooo delicious & scrumptious. We got lamb curry, butter chicken, garlic naan, & shrimp biryani. We also got mango lassi & it was so creamy & refreshing. The interior was so nice. Chairs were so cute & the ambiance inside was very calm and relaxing! Overall 10/10 will definitely come back & bring my friends!

Tikka Masala
Sheila A.

First of all, I was so happy when I heard there's a new Indian place opening in downtown LB, and it sounded like people already knew the quality of their food even before they opened. Well they're not wrong. I've only been ordering pick-ups from this place, but it's been pretty frequent! It's such a great great comfort food to me. I've only tried their lamb biryani, chicken biryani, and tikka masala. Everything is delicious! But man, my favorite is definitely the biryani. I always ordered them spicy, it's the perfect amount of spiciness to me! Either lamb or chicken, you can't go wrong. I usually favor lamb more, but this time I tried their chicken biryani and it's just as tasty. They're very generous in the biryani portion and the meat chunks. Their pickup service has also been very fast! Like I mentioned, I've never dined in with them, but one day I will. The ambiance looks nice inside. Keep up the great work! I'm definitely a regular now.

Heard a lot of about this place including the history of the woman and family who own it as well as their culinary reputation from their original location so needless to say that I have been dying to try them out and I was not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious, we ordered the Butter Chicken and Lamb Tikka Masala with a side of Basmati Rice accompanied with Garlic Naan and Mango Lassi. Mild spice level and flavors were on point and everything was cooked to perfection. Service was pretty friendly and the inside was clean and had a very calm setting. We felt so comfortable and welcomed. Now I see what all the deserved hype was about. I'll definitely be going back. 5/5 from me.

Vegetarian Curry with Tofu. (Yum!)
Doug V.

Well, tonight was an Indian food craving night. So, we decided to tray a relatively new place on Pine Ave., Royal Indian Curry House. Walking in the front door, we were VERY happily surprised to be greeted by Babblit (Bubbly). Her and her husband Amarjit used to own the Indian place on 2nd. But they sold it and moved away. At that point, we KNEW the food was going to be good so, we ordered.... A lot!! The food was great!! The service was fantastic and 'Bubbly) checked in with us often. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough!! EVERYTHING is made in house!!! Go NOW!!!

Butter Chicken
Barbara Q.

Learned about this new spot recently and being a nut for Indian food I added it to my list of places to try. It did not disappoint - the food was amazing! I ordered the butter chicken with garlic naan and ate every bite. My only constructive critique is the prices are just a little too expensive for the portion size. Nothing outrageous; but maybe $3 or so more than what I'd consider reasonable. Again nothing crazy, but something I noticed. Service staff were very friendly and attentive. Space is small but done very nice.

Obsessed with the purple & green chairs!

RICH couldn't be a more fitting acronym for this new hot Indian restaurant in DTLB. I've passed by a couple times when they weren't open and finally got to try it out. Hubby and I were able to walk in without reservations on a Sunday evening and got seated right away. There are about 12 tables and a few seats at the bar. I'm obsessed with the purple and green chairs with gold trim against the brick accent wall. Romantic dim lighting in the evening and cool Indian hip hop playing to set the vibe. Toran, our server, turned out to be one of the co-owners, along with his brother and father. The father greeted us first, took our order and made some good recs. They have a nice selection of Indian beer, international and California wines as well as lassi, chai and soda. For a small restaurant, they have a mighty menu with all the pakora, tandoori, curry, biryani and naan any heart desires. I wanted to try a little of everything but for just 2 of us, we were limited. Paneer Tikka Masala ($19) triangular paneer cheese slices in a creamy tomato based sauce was rich and smooth. Butter Chicken ($21) the pieces of chicken were marinated in a red sauce before being simmered in the buttery stew of yogurt, tomatoes and spices. Medium level spice, but it still had a sweet aftertaste. I felt the love put into this dish. They went so well with the Jeera Rice ($7) seasoned with ghee and toasted cumin seeds and the incredibly soft and chewy Chili Garlic Naan ($5), which had plenty of garlic and not too much chili. We ordered the Lamb Biryani ($22) to-go and I had to dig in as soon as they brought it to us. Omg this was so addictive! Loved the spices and they put a good amount of lamb in it too. I was literally dancing in my seat and couldn't stop eating until I hit a wall. The plating, dishes, service and ambience were so effortlessly perfect. I love this addition for DTLB and wish this family much success. Metered street parking and 2 hours free in the nearby structures!

Samosa
Jessica K.

RICH is a true gem that's landed on Pine Ave. This was my first time dining here and instantly knew I'll a repeat guest. The ambiance is warm and inviting, fun colors, and a lil romantic. Our server was tentative and friendly. We had the samosas, chili garlic naan, butter chicken, lamb tikka masala, and jeera rice. The food is absolutely outstanding, authentic Indian flavors that I know I can't recreate at home. Every dish is rich, fresh, and full of depth. Easily the best Indian restaurant in the area. Come on and get your curry on!

Mix veg Pakora
Vala R.

We were excited to try Royal Indian Curry House and it did not disappoint. Service was really good; despite being down a server. Interior is very cute and was full most of the time we were there. We tried the Mixed Veg Pakora which came with 2 sauces - delicious. We are big fans of Lamb Korma. The lamb was so tender, we loved it! The Saag Paneer was yummy and who doesn't love Naan!!! We went for mild spicy which was perfect - flavorful with a little heat. Overall, super happy with our meal there.

Came back, our 2nd visit in a week. Brought a good friend with us. We tried a few different dishes and all were just as amazing as the first trip. The Paneer Biryani is now a favorite. The Butter Chicken is decadent and full of flavor. My wife had the Vindaloo I believe its called, it was quite spicy, she was struggling to eat it but she did. Said it was good but a bit too spicy for her liking. Now she knows Indian spicy is definitely different than any spice shes used to. We didnt have Bubby as our waitress this time, but the nephew helped us. He was quite friendly and checked in on us often. My friend really enjoyed the food and said she looks forward to coming back again. This time we went on a Friday night, it was busy and a bit louder but still enjoyable.

Lamb Biryani
Michael R.

This place is delicious! The food was all so flavorful, and the staff were kind and attentive. Everything was wonderful- this place is a welcome addition to downtown LBC. I can't remember the name of the shrimp dish appetizer we ordered, but it was phenomenal!

Chicken Malai Chicken Kabob
Beatrice B.

Enjoyed lunch at this place. Great service, welcoming ambiance, from scratch ingredients made for an overall deliciousness lunch experience. The lamb biryani, garlic naan and Malai chicken hit the mark. Definitely recommend this place.

Cute decor!
Jamie V.

We were in downtown Long Beach for a convention and discovered this delightful Indian restaurant. We loved the decor (purple and green are my favorite colors) and were quite comfortable. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Their medium spicy is no joke! The curries were so flavorful and the naan was crispy. Highly recommend!

It's clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.

My friend's lychee negroni was very interesting, had a sweet start with a crazy punch of an aftertaste. All the appys were tasty! My friends' favorite is the 5 sauce fries. My personal faves were the shu mai and popcorn chicken. We also got har gao and both pan-fried and steamed pork dumplings. It's a super small space (very intimate and cozy) so definitely make reservations ahead of time. We showed up very late our resy but thankfully our table was still available when we got there! I tried reaching them over the phone multiple times to let them know we would be late but it's impossible to reach them, so that's the only thing I would suggest for improvement. There's also a tiki bar (called Lagoon) within Midnight Oil that I want to check out next time.

Your hao peng you (good friend) on Yelp is sending you a sign to check this hidden gem out! ;)…read more As someone of Taiwanese descent, I always get SO excited discovering Taiwanese restaurants and bars, which are admittedly a bit hard to find if you're not in East LA. We stopped by late Saturday night and were able to snag an immediate walk-in at the bar at Hao Peng You, which is the intimate speakeasy portion of Midnight Oil. The decor definitely reminded me of my grandparents' house in Taiwan, with vintage, ornate wooden chairs, dragon/lion statue carvings, and even a historic century old marital bed that had been repurposed into a booth. The drinks were also VERY unique, with my favorite being Hua sheng (literally meaning peanut), which was crafted from a nostalgic childhood peanut milk drink. All our cocktails were crafted very well, to the point where I thought they were a bit on the lighter side since I couldn't really taste the alcohol. This section does get really busy though and only had one bartender who is making/serving drinks and taking orders, so do expect a bit of a wait. Overall, highly recommend checking out this vibey vintage Taiwanese-inspired speakeasy (that my inner history nerd was so excited about), and I'll definitely be back to try their food items as well as their two other bar/restaurant concepts!

Finally one of them approached us and shared the menu, another gentleman came to the bar and he was quickly greeted with a hello and our same server immediately shared the menu. The gentleman politely said, these ladies were here first please take their order first, which the server did but was not so happy about. To our surprise the server still prepared his drinks first. The gentleman very surprised apologized since he knew we were there before him. With our drinks in hand we found a table with some empty seats. The table side where we sat had a sprite glass bottle and a glass that hadn't been picked up since the last party left. We moved it a side to set our drinks and finally enjoy our conversation. A different server came to the table and asked the gentleman next to us to get his empty glass and she completely ignored our side. She did another round and I finally asked her to pick up the bottle that was left by another party before us. I asked her for the menu again, she brought it but she did say that I had go back up to the bar to order any additional drinks. We decided to not order a second round and head up to the terrace.
