This is my new favorite local indian spot ! The food is delish!! So flavorful. The service was fast and friendly , very attentive. Also super cute inside ! We tried the butter chicken , the lamb biryani, samosas, and the garlic naan . 10/10 recommend
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!
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.
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!!!
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.
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!
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!
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.
Checked out this place upon recommendation from a friend. We ordered the butter chicken, shrimp biryani, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. Everything was really good, and the mild spice level was perfect. It had enough of a kick to remind you it's Indian food without being overpowering, so you can actually enjoy all the flavors. They also gave us a complimentary sample of their new menu item, Royal Chicken, which was a nice surprise and tasted great too. The staff was friendly and checked on us often (we visited on Saturday for dinner and there were only a couple of other customers). Pretty dimly lit, but wasn't a problem. If you're looking for solid Indian food in Long Beach, I'd definitely recommend giving Royal Indian Curry House a try.
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.
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!
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.
STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good food, service, and ambiance. The hubby and I love Indian food so we were excited to see this place open up downtown--the more Indian restaurants in Long Beach, the better! We stopped in for lunch on a weekday. It wasn't very crowded so there was no wait for a table. The ambiance was a bit more elevated and funky than your usual Indian restaurant, but it was still casual and comfortable. Their menu wasn't huge, but had all the usual suspects. We ordered a couple of our usual go-tos: paneer tikka masala and daal with garlic naan and basmati rice. Everything tasted great, just what we were expecting. The service was very personable as well. The prices I'd say are a bit higher than average but nothing outrageous. We'd definitely return to try more items. read more

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! read more
I just did take out for the first time. Cute place interior. Good vibes. I walked in and ordered the Lamb Briyani. Soo flavorful and light, but spicy at medium! I won't go above that grade. They also added (no charge) some of their rice pudding dessert, Kheer. Delish. I love rice pudding and this was a perfect finish to the spicy entree. They do have beer, wine, and champagne offerings but you can bring in a bottle for a reasonable corkage fee ($11). There is metered street parking as well as a garage 1/2 block down with 2 hours of free parking. Unfortunately my phone was having some problems so no pics! I'll be back! read more
Great addition to Pine street. Authentic and tasty northern Indian fare with all your tandoori favorites and then some. My egg curry was spiced heavily as requested, and I was satisfied. My dining companions enjoyed their tandoori chicken selections. The jeera rice and garlic naan were excellent accompaniments. There's a small selection of traditional Indian desserts and limited wine&beer selection. Quaint interior with very responsive service. I'm looking forward to trying out their soon to be debuted happy hour. Parking garage nearby on 3rd with 1st 2 hours free. read more
Came in for dinner on Saturday around 6:30pm. There was no street parking so we parked at a public parking at the corner- 2 hrs for $5. As soon as we opened the door we were able to smell delicious food! The inside is very chic and we were greeted immediately. Table for three was available, great customer service and very clean atmosphere. This was our first time eating Indian food and we made the right choice! We ordered Buttery chicken(mild), it was on the spicy side. Soft chicken and great flavor. Tiki Masala was really good as well, not as spicy. Jeera rice, very flavorful and soft. We also ordered samosas, lots of flavor and herbs. Garlic naan was so good as well! Thin and crispy. The thing I can probably compare it to is an empanada. We also tried the rice pudding! Delicious and unique flavor - very similar to arroz con leche. Paid about $78 and Definitely coming back. read more

Nice little place, cool decor, tables, seats, dinner ware. Service a little slow because the place was full...that's good! The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Samosas and beer to start, Shrimp Curry, Chicken Kudka(?), rice and garlic naan. Ordered very light spice and they delivered and still had gringo heat! Outstanding! read more

My friend and I came in on Sunday at 8:00 for dinner as first timers. We were sat and greeted swiftly! Our server was very personable and guided us on some of his favorites. We ordered family style: garlic naan, lamb curry, veggie briyani, samosas and chilli shrimp. The food tasted home made down to the seasoning salt they sprinkled on the samosas. We left very happy and satisfied. We will be adding Royal Indian Curry House to our girls night dinner rotation! Thank You read more

Had an absolutely fantastic 1st experience here yesterday. As an Indian myself (who loves to cook family recipes at home), the flavor and quality of the dishes were the absolute perfect combination of tradition and gourmet cuisine. I have struggled for 30 years to find a good Indian restaurant in America (the Indian food in the UK is superior) but to my surprise this actually topped any of the England restaurants I've been to! The service was amazing, we met the owners and they are so sweet! I will definitely be returning, could not recommend a better Indian restaurant in SoCal! We ordered the chili chicken appetizer (it was incredible, but spicy!) & the paneer tikka masala (creamy & delicious) - I highly recommend both! read more

Not satisfied with the take-out service. Be careful with the super tiny shrimp! Paid $30 to get 8 tiny shrimp in a curry sauce with rice. So disappointing to experience take-out; it's night and day with their in-house service which showed otherwise. It appears to me they don't care about ripping people off with take-out. Not a good impression being a new restaurant in a zone with a competitive market. read more

Very delicious food. The service was beyond flawless they really take pride in the quality. My husband dropped his knife and within 30 seconds was given a new one our cups were always full. The music was very modern but still Indian. As a downtown local I'm so excited to have this new restaurant available. All of this and the price point was more than reasonable. read more

Had dinner here. There is street parking. The wait for a table was fast, less than 10 mins. The food was really good. The service was friendly andand fast. The atmosphere was nice. We ordered Fish Pakora, Chilli Shrimp, Saag Paneer, Tandoori Chicken, and Lamb Biryani. We also had dessert Raas Malai and the pistachio Kulfi. The saag paneer we ordered spicy and it came out so good. Had the perfect kick to it. The Kulifi was amazing. read more

First time there, its right on Pine and its ambiance it's the perfect spot for date night or a solo lunch. The service was good, they gave us complimentary dessert which my partner loved. The spicy level on our meals were perfect and flavorful. Would have given 5 stars but they did forget an item which then came later. Will be back! read more
