    Obsessed with the purple & green chairs!
    Lynn O.

    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!

    Oh my gosh, I just hit the jackpot - RUSH Royal Indian Curry House is my new favorite spot! The owners of this hidden gem on Pine in downtown Long Beach are the same masterminds that used to own the Indian Restaurant Belmont, and let me tell you, I was beyond stoked when I heard they were opening up shop. Originally, they were going to set up camp on the corner of Linden & 1st, but plans fell through and they ended up at 242 Pine - lucky for me! My wife and I decided to take a stroll and stuff our faces last night, and wouldn't you know it, Bubbly the owner greeted us like old friends. I knew the grub would be on point from the get-go. We went all out and tried two appetizers, two breads, two entrees, and two desserts - and let me tell you, everything was mind-blowingly good. The decor was super inviting, flavors were popping, presentation impressive, prices were reasonable, portions were satisfying, and the service was top-notch. Bubbly went above and beyond to ensure we were having the time of our lives, took the time to chat, and welcomed us back with open arms. If you're craving some seriously authentic Indian food, head on down to RUSH on Pine - I promise it'll be a flavor party you won't forget.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Malai Kofta
    Alex Z.

    We did takeout, but the vibes seemed nice. Cute new place. We went on a Friday night and every seat was taken, so we figured it was a good sign. Service was fast, efficient, friendly. We ordered a strawberry lassi, malai kofta, butter chicken, and garlic naan. The garlic naan was super good (i feel that's pretty hard to mess up). I tried mango lassi at other places before but never tried a strawberry one so I had to have it. (Very good, refreshing.) malai kofta was very tasty and some of the best I've ever tried, HOWEVER !!! There was NO rice included! I've tried my fair share of Indian food places and they've all come with a free side of basmati rice with an entree! This is the first place I've ever gone to that did not include a side of basmati rice. Butter chicken was also good. We liked that the chicken pieces were cut up small so the center doesn't get all dry. Excellent place and we will be back, but next time, for rice as well!!

    Kulfi Pistachio made perfectly and was delicious

    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.

    Was delicious!! A tad pricey but it is downtown. I will be coming back to try more dishes.

    I cannot express how happy I am that they are back! We loved the original Natraj for years in the shore and have craved this amazing food for over a decade. I've never had tandoori chicken this tender and juicy in my life. Run, don't walk, to this gem!

    Chicken tikka masala

    I took my family here over the weekend and we had a wonderful time. There is convenient parking (first 2 hrs free) around the corner in a city lot. The food was of great quality. We had Navratan Korma, Daal Makhni, and Chicken Tikka Masala. All were delicious. We ordered the chicken for our kids and they made it the ideal spice level so as not to cause any complaints. I also ordered a mango lassi and it was huge. We will definitely be regulars here in the future.

We ordered mango margaritas and the Mango Passion Fruit Lassi. Both were phenomenally crafted. To eat, we ordered the cheese & jalapeño kulcha, saffron rice (side), Cali Chilli Pot Pie, and the Tandoori Sea Bass. My soul left my body as soon as I bit into the sea bass. I'm someone who rarely savors my food, but I genuinely felt sad that I was on my last bite. All other dishes we ordered were perfect. The sea bass; however, stole the show. Shout out to the chef Mandrpal! We were recommended the lobster and short ribs for our next visit.

    Food Butter chicken…read morepot pie - A must order. An elevated butter chicken with buttery puff pastry. You won't need naan. However, absolutely get it with rice, it worked perfectly. 4.6 without rice 4.8 with rice. Lamb vindaloo - An excellent waiter recommended dish that is just a tad underseasoned. Tender lamb shank with a great curry and wedge potatoes. Didn't have a chance to try it with rice. 4.6/5 Saffron rice - As just mentioned, this rice is excellent. A bit underseasoned by itself but with a protein it's excellent. 4.5/5 Kebab - I forgot which I got, but it was a solid dish. I liked the cook and grilled fruits it came with. Spicy mint chuntey was a nice addition. 4.5/5 Pan puri - This is a gimmicky app that is fine to try once. 4.2/5 Truffle chicken - Boneless thigh wings that are creamy and excellent with rice. Just a tad underseasoned. 4.3/5 without rice. 4.6/5 with rice. Chai tiramisu - It sounds a lot better than it is. 4/5 Lava cake - Waiter recommended and a hit. An excellent dessert. The ice cream seemed generic/not in-house though. 4.7/5. With homemade ice cream this could be a 4.9. Service Both times I've went the hosts have been going through the motions but the waiters have been good. 4.4/5 Ambiance 5/5

    Did we just find another gem in Long Beach? My partner and I were honestly in awe of how delicious…read moreand flavorful every dish was. We'd been wanting to try Kamal Palace for a while since it had been on our radar, and of course we decided to go on Mother's Day for lunch -- fully expecting a long wait. Kamal Palace is tucked away in the Marina Pacifica shopping center in Long Beach, right along the Los Cerritos Channel. Even though it was pretty crowded when we arrived, there were still plenty of tables available, and we were seated within about three minutes. We specifically came for lunch because they offer a lunch buffet seven days a week. When it comes to Indian food, I always want to try a little bit of everything, and when we order à la carte, we usually end up with way too much food. The buffet was perfect because we got to sample a variety of curries and different dishes without overordering. I can't even remember all the names of the curries they had, but every single one we tried was flavorful and delicious. My favorites were definitely the shrimp curry and the mushroom curry. Of course, we both ordered mango lassis, and they paired perfectly with the meal. The ambiance was lovely, and the customer service was incredibly warm and welcoming. We're definitely adding Kamal Palace into our regular lunch date rotation.

There were plenty of options, and it's the kind of place where you want to keep going back up to try a little bit of everything. Unfortunately, the service completely took away from the experience. Our waiter brought the bill while we were still eating and in the middle of a conversation, and then kept coming back to rush us to pay. It felt really uncomfortable and unnecessary at the time--especially since no one had mentioned that they were closing. If we had known, we would have been more mindful and wrapped things up sooner. Great food, but the lack of communication and rushed service made it hard to fully enjoy the experience. I'd consider coming back for the food, but I really hope the service and communication improve.
