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!

Very high end and fancy looking on the inside. Perfect for a date night. Excellent and fun customer…read moreservice. Also love that their restaurant has the tag "unauthentic Indian food" to it. Very intriguing and attention grabbing! Got us for sure! We did free street parking right in front and there were a couple other parties aside from us in the restaurant, but our food came out quite efficiently and we had more than enough for 2 people and we were able to take some home as leftovers to eat later. The bar area is GORGEOUS, the way they display their alcohol looks super glamorous. Perfect backdrop for photos, especially if you wanted like a Hollywood or Great Gatsby kind of thing. Actually, the booth seating was the tallest booth seating that I've ever sat at, which was neat in it's own way too. For our dinner, we got the: 1) Cali Chilli Powerhouse: -This is a zero proof drink. It's a milk blended almonds, pistachio, chia seeds, saffron and green cardamom. -Super rich smoothie like shake. Quite sweet and more of a dessert than anything, but if you like pistachio and almond, this is a very delicious drink. Very smooth and milky. Great to balance out the savory. 2) Pani Puri Poppers: -These are puffed puri bites and we got this half and half with charred chicken and potatoes. Underneath the puffed puri bites were shot glasses filled with mango and coconut, mint and cilantro, and yogurt and ginger dressing dressing. You pour the dressing into the bite and then shove it in your mouth and enjoy! -I've had something similar before at a different Indian restaurant, but I enjoyed it here much more. Dressings weren't overpoweringly sour like I've had at other places. Very refreshing dressings that went great with the protein/carb fillings. Love the crunch of the puff puri. My favorite was the mango coconut. I love the fruity sweetness with the savory. 3) Cali Chilli Pot Pie: -You get to choose your protein and we chose the lamb rogan josh as we got chicken for our other dish. -Comes out SUPER hot. Even towards the end of our meal, the dish was still steaming hot, but it's super unique and delicious. -The pie crust is mostly just the top of the dish and the rest is curry stew and protein below. Super tender lamb meat and flavorful curry. Nice kick, savory depth of flavor and spices. The pie bread part was moist, tender, top was flaky and delicious. A must. 4) Hariyali Chicken Boti Kebab: -This is part of their limited run Long Beach Food Scene Week menu. -It's a Tandoor (clay oven) combo meal made in an authentic tandoor, making the chicken smoky and slightly charred on the outside, and moist, juicy, and tender on the inside. -This dish comes with a choice of carb and salad, so we got the saffron ghee rice with the Cali Chilli Curry Sauce and the Citrus salad. -Delicious mint and yogurt taste to the chicken, both refreshingly sour and creamy, but herbal as well. There's a kick from the green chilies too, making it a great diverse dish of flavors and textures. I don't drink, so I can't really comment on the quality and taste, but the preparation for my boyfriend's drink was super cool. They used fire and poured it here and there. Truly a dinner and a show. The blue of the fire was super neat and great for videos and photos. Thank you for that! Will definitely come again.

I didn't feel the servers were attentive at all, and with it only being 2 other parties besides me and one coming in after I did, the service they got was much better than that of which I did. It was disappointing to say the least. I've long desired to try this spot and I was excited to do so, but I didn't feel the warm welcome that I noticed others receiving.. Again I did enjoy the food, but the experience wasn't at all enjoyable. frequently checked in with other tables, rarely checked in with me. Took 12\15 minutes to bring my drink, to the point it seemed as if it was forgotten, again there were only 2 other parties, and the one who came after me received food before I ever got a drink. had to look around and ask for service.

Seriously delicious, you'll be craving it again and again!…read moreThis was my first time at this location and we went pretty close to closing time so I wasn't expecting to get as many options for the combo plates but to my surprise, they were stocked up well. The restaurant was super clean and we were greeted as soon as we walked in with a warm welcome and smile. The staff was efficient and kind, not only did they greet everyone as they came in, they thanked every guest on their exit, as well. We got 2 combo plates, upgraded to garlic naan, and 2 piece of veggie samosas, everything was absolutely delicious, hot, fresh, and made with great attention to detail as it was seasoned to perfection. The veggie samosas were a little spicier than I anticipated but I thoroughly enjoyed them alongside my combo plate. I got chicken tikka masala (butter chicken) and black pepper chicken, my boyfriend got the chicken tikka masala and the chicken curry (which was sooo good, I wish I got some of my own - next time!) We'll be back, everything from the food to the service to the cleanliness of the restaurant: 10's across the board! Prices are great too!!

I'm disappointed in my order today…read more The tandoori chicken was old. No flavor and dry. My veggie samosa were cold and soggy. I just feel really disappointed, how can you serve your customers old food? I paid $50 for my order. Butter chicken was good, not a level 7 spicy like I asked. The naan was okay. Over all really really disappointed.

I went with The Maharaja Burrito one of those items Cher VR recommended as well as the Yellow Lentil Soup. Along with the burrito came with a yellow curry sauce to also add more flavor to the burrito. Both dishes were fabulous! I truly enjoyed the flavors from both dishes, however I kind of wished I went with their garbanzo soup to add more spice to the overall meal.

Ordering is done via a kiosk with tablet, which is nice and easy. We were greeted nicely by the staff upon entering and they were available to answer any questions. For an entree we ordered a kabab combo that had some side dishes and naan included. The naan was so wonderfully made - glistening with butter as it should be but so often is not. The fries were very tasty adn cooked well. The kababs were extremely spicy with no warning on the menu. It was okay for me but my friend could not eat it at all. The staff kindly gave her a little bowl of chicken tikka masala to eat (at no charge). I felt bad because I ordered the kababs and did not expect them to be that spicy. I understand it may be authentic to eat such spicy food, but it should be designated on the menu to avoid these types of surprises. We had plenty of food to take home.
