This restaurant epitomizes "homemade Indian cuisine". I would recommend this place to anyone who misses a warm home-cooked plate and can recommend their paneer tikka masala. Their puris are also not as oily as what I've come to expect which is awesome. If you're looking for a place that creates eccentric out-of-the-box flavors this isn't the place for you, if you want a simple cooked meal, you'll get that here though. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done with average portion sizes and flavors. read more

Let's talk about my ordering experience from this place. I wanted to try out some tandoori appetizers and this place popped up with raving reviews. I placed a take out order through Yelp. 10 minutes go by and there's no notification from the app about my order being confirmed by the restaurant, so I call them up to see what's going on. The lady on the other side said they don't have the items I had ordered and even let me talk to the chef personally who suggested some alternatives based on what they had fresh. Let's talk about the food. My order consisted - chicken tikka and chicken sheekh kebab. The sheekh kebab was fantastic, the grounded meat was cocked perfectly with spices and it was soft and juicy. The chicken tikka was a little harder than I'd like but had good flavor. The food was excellent, the customer service was top notch and the entire experience was great. Do give this place a try. read more

Customer service and food is the worst at this place. No one is there to help you. I ordered a dish to go via phone and i waited 20 mins to be acknowledged by a worker to find out my food has been sitting there the whole time. Food gave me diarrhea for two days. Not worth it!! Drive a few extra miles and go to Edison. read more

Let's talk about my ordering experience from this place. I wanted to try out some appetizers and this place popped up with amazing reviews. I placed a take out order with Yelp. 2 minutes go by and there's no ping from the app about my order being done by the restaurant, Give or take a couple of minutes I call them up to see what's wrong with my order. The Man on the other side said they don't have the food I wanted as it was all sold out. He let me talk to the chef personally who suggested some alternatives based on what they had fresh. Let's talk about the food. My order consisted - chicken tikka and mango lassi. The lamb kebab was fantastic, the pounded meat was perfectly seasoned with spices and it was soft and juicy. The butter chicken was a little softer than I'd like but had decent flavor. The food overall was excellent, the customer service was top tier and the entire atmosphere was great. Give this this place a try. read more

Bad food. Butter chicken was below quality and had no taste ... it was plain cream taste and no flavor

Amazing flavorful food. Buttery Paner & the palak is amazing. On top of that the Keema naan is rockin read more

I had high hopes for this place based on the raving reviews both here and google. I ordered garlic naan, vegetable pakora, chicken tikka masala and chicken curry. First, they ran out of rice. They substituted 2 extra naans instead which was nice. The vegetable pakora was spicier than at any other restaurant I've ever tried. I'm not sure if it was the batter or something inside but it wasn't a pleasant eating experience. The chicken tikka masala was chunky and incredibly spicy and actually tasted just like the chicken curry. The app gave no options for spice levels for food so we assumed the default would be mild. (We obviously assumed incorrectly). Super disappointed. Probably will not order from here again. Only gave 2 stars bc the lady in the restaurant was nice. read more

Great food, love the mango lassi, wonderful costumer service too. Already come to this restaurant four times, and looking forward for many more read more

We had big party and they served excellent food. Great ambiance and vibes. Service was super.

Went with my sister for lunch -- we're both very happy to have an Indian restaurant so close to home! The buffet itself was out of service, so we ordered from the menu. The veggie samosa is absolutely delicious & the vegetable pakora was probably the best I've ever had -- perfectly fried, tender, nicely spiced & not at all greasy. My entree, mutter paneer was very good & my sister's chicken makhani was even better. We also had the yellow dal, which was a bit hot for me. The mango lassi served as dessert & was perfect. On other occasions we had the tandoori chicken & paneer tikka, which were both excellent. My only very small criticism has nothing to do with the food. I just wish they would do away with the disposable cups. The service was attentive & pleasant. There's no ambiance to speak of (think take-out sort of place) but nonetheless I highly recommend Royal Indian Restaurant & I'm looking forward to going back for the buffet. read more

Royal Indian is one of the new establishment in Sayreville,NJ. Thought of trying over last weekend. We have tried take out of following - Mixed Non Veg Grill- Assortments of tandoori and Kabab , fresh and spiced perfectly for Indian taste buds. Malai Kofta- Kofta was well cooked and filled up well with cashews, gravy was nice and tasty. Comes with rice. Good for two. Chicken 65- Chicken 65 was ok with other comparative standards , not great. I would definitely go to Royal again, price was good for weekend take out and food made fresh. Service was quick and humble. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I have been here 3 or 4 times with nothing but satisfactory meals. Tonight, I called and ordered food for me and my family. Showed up to turn out I ordered from a place in NYC by mistake. These people told me they were closing soon, but s soon as I told them my dilemma, they replicated my order. I was a huge fan before they did this, bit am an even bigger fan now. This place is very good! read more

Delicious! We had the butter and chicken tikka masala and they were perfectly spiced with generous amounts of chicken. We also had the palak paneer and that was very flavorful too. Get some of their yummy food, you won't be disappointed. read more

This restaurant is a great surprise. The food is excellent and the server was very helpful. Our group had four people. We had more than enough food for everyone, even after we pigged out. The best thing we ordered was the mixed grill, which had 2 or 3 pieces of several different kinds of chicken. Their tandoori chicken is amazing. read more

Paneer Makhani and Aloo Gobi are excellent with the right amount of spice. I was pleased with the service, attention, and portions. This is a great place for Indian fare in the Parlin area. read more

The best indian restaurant around. I have ordered almost 4-5 times and have never been dissapointed even once. The seekh kababs are to die for.. soo yummilicious. I have tried chicken masala , paneer kurma, aloo parantha, non veg platter , onion kulcha, chicken biryani. Was quite surprised bu the quantity of dahi bhalle, sucha generous portion. Kheer (rice pudding) in the platter was a gem in its own. Thanks for bringing true north indian food to our plates. And last but not the least , I am a great fan of your green chutney and how you people always accomodate my request for extra !!! read more

Food is generally very good but just experienced the worst service. Ordered over $50 worth of food and it arrived without any rice at all. We called the restaurant immediately to let them know and basically the response was "Sorry - new guy - we take care of this next time". What? No matter how good the food, this food was meant to be enjoyed with rice or at least some type of side dish. Here I am at 9 pm cooking. This place is not inexpensive and I expected better service, a delivery of rice, a price adjustment, something. read more

I grew up with most of my friends being Indian and I'm from a totally different culture ( Dominican Republic) So I have acquired a taste for the spices and delicious foods of the Indian cuisine. This spot here is a GEM. Vegetable Samosas are amazing, Chicken Tikka amazing, naan bread perfect with or w/o garlic. I have ordered from here 7x already in 2021. I live in Perth Amboy so I don't mind taking the short drive to Parlin anytime. Don't forget to ask for their delicious rice pudding. read more

The goat curry was not at all satisfying. Two big bones with no meat. Not worth it. Spend a dollar more and get much much better curry from other restaurants. I ordered Many items. But only chicken tandoori was to some extent good. If you are a good eater then order 3 goat curries that would be enough with one rice that is provided with it. read more

We didn't know what to expect going in, but the food and the service were both excellent. The owner/chef went out of their way to make sure we were happy. read more

Great for takeout the food comes out hot and fresh. It's a bit of a milder spice but that suits me just fine and I'm sure you can ask for more. read more

I ordered mix Punjabi platter and it was good. I recommend this .Decent price and quality food
