Seems like they are new, but the food is absolutely delicious. I worked out probably be ordering this every time I hit the bay.

have been to this restaurant 3 times.first two times I gave them benefit of doubt that may be they are understaff or busy but I made the conclusion that their service stinks . They are not bothered how does costumer feel about the service or food. Looks like some non restaurant personnel is running this restaurant with no sense of customer service and their food is below average . In the kitchen there is lot of screaming / singing songs by the staff which can be easily heard by the customer. No professionalism !!!! I used to come here because it is very close to my job but now I rather go far and have my meal than coming here . read more

Wonderful food, spiced just right. A ton of vegetarian and vegan options! The space itself is clean but boring, like a high school lunchroom. The server seemed kind but exhausted. I don't think he looked at us even once. It's a bit expensive, but I think we will come back here on the way back to the airport. read more

The foods is all right if you can get them to make the food..... There's a new person that runs it... The last four times I've gone every time I go I call in they don't make the food until I show up then they make the food and they make me wait 30 minutes to get my food.... Whats the point of calling it in???? read more

My first time here and I enjoyed my food. I ordered Goat Curry and Garlic Naan. It was really good. The garlic naan was amazing. The customer service needs to improve though. He was not friendly, and I felt rushed. He didn't check on us after he served the food. It was clean and sanitary. I will come back and check them out again. read more

Restaurant was empty when I sat down yet it still took 15 minutes for them to take my order or even acknowledge me. They spoke no English and were very soft spoken, so I could barely hear them if they were speaking English. The curtains on the windows were dirty and covered in old food. I ordered the lamb wrap which was ok. Not great but not terrible either. Here's the crazy part, I'm almost certain that the "lamb" was actually beef. When trying to leave i had to holler back to the kitchen where the server had been the entire time i was there so that I could pay. Even then he took his time to come out. It was like they could not care less. For me this is a one and done experience. Would non recommend. Food was uninspired, service was bad, restaurant was dirty. read more

They had us wait 10 minutes before someone came to seat us. I told him we wanted to order quickly because we had to go to the airport. Still didn't bring us menus he just casually walked around sweeping the floor and walked to the back. There were no other customers except for two others in the restaurant - who honestly looked like they were workers. Why bother staying open if you don't want to take a food order? This place should just shut down already! We just got up and left and he looked dumb founded... read more

Ordered a takeout. 1. Garlic Naan - had to buy 2 portions because one is never enough. Love the garlic butter rubbed on the hot fresh naan. 2. Chicken Tikka Masala - my gf's favorite. Always good, creamy, tomato-y goodness. 3. Goat Curry 2x - I wanna say, this is my favorite! The flavor on this one is beyond phenomenal, especially when ordered on the spicy level. But again, big major complaint, not enough meat, too much curry gravy, that's why I end up ordering two portions. My gf is ok with one order of Chicken Tikka Masala because she's always loved more Naan, and less meat & gravy. I'm not ok with it, but she is. 4. Pulao rice, its a gimmicky move selling this item. I wanted the goat biryani but the prices add up, and its gonna mount up to $80. No way. So I tried getting this one instead of regular basmati rice(which should be a complimentary item once you order 2 entree dishes with bread, BUT NOPE). Back to this item, I'd never get it again. Frozen vegetables, no flavor on the rice, probably not even saffron on this rice. Most likely tumeric for color(judging by the skimp, they probably also fail to provide quality ingredients). Can't say anything about service, its take out. As well as ambiance. The food (meat entrees and bread) is good and flavorful, but then again, portions aren't the price you pay for. This is probably the 2nd time I ordered and was disappointed about the portions. Meat entrees' mostly gravy, not enough meat. For an over $15 per item, you'd expect something better than this. 3 stars. Not bad. read more

Ordered goat curry on ubereats but was given lamb curry. Not sure why you do that. Authentic goat is million times different in taste texture and cooking style than lamb. Very disappointing. read more

One of my favorite Indian restaurants. My food is always great and the service is just as good. Been going here for years. The tikka masala is favorite. read more

This place is the real deal if you want flavorful, authentic Indian food. A large menu with a huge range of flavors on offer. One of the best in Oakland. (We do takeout; they have seating, but it is cafeteria style casual.) read more

Tikka and other stews ordered; "Saag, "Lamb, and chicken tikka; "Pakoras; and rice, "Samosas...." All of these, arrived via delivery, well-kept, taste was good; delivery was timely, even considering distance from ordering location; pick-up orders? Three from different locations; each time, food was as ordered, or better; (Complimentary rice, at least twice!) Thanks for the food! read more

I tried the shrimp tikka masala! Is really good and the prices were not bad at all! This is my first time going here so I can't speak about the other items. I will return to try other items. read more

This place doesn't want a customer lol. I stopped by for dine in today for lunch. Some Jackass guy came out from the kitchen.. giving me dirty look like if I am bothering him. I asked him if they still have the buffet. He said no.. I am like let me look at the menu. So I picked the Menu from the counter. Other places would say.. come in and have a seat. He just run to the kitchen.. I waited and waited and waited.. he never showed up.. so I left the menu at the counter and walked out!! Great service lol read more

The food is delicious, although they left out the rice. Pick up was slower than expected. Not fancy but clean. Service was okay but not friendly. I will be back because it's so tasty. read more

This restaurant is totally a dirty trash . The staff and manager no one can speak properly neither English neither punjabi . Illiterate and mannerless people. Firstly I waited an hour for just a small order on top nobody informed me how long my order gonna take , after an hour when i ask for my money back the staff doesn't know how to operate their system. I recommend everyone should avoid this restaurant. read more

We have ordered from them in the past. They started sending text messages stating free delivery and up to 30 percent discount. They do not honor their text message discounts. Bad business. There are other restaurants to order from. read more

FANTASTIC!! I'm so glad we picked this restaurant. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biriyani, Paneer Tikka Masala, and garlic naan. Everything was fabulous. I scraped my plate clean. We ordered the food with mild spice and it was perfectly flavored. I will be coming back for more!! read more

The worst food is from Endor and they give so much expensive. Don't even ask about these people, they gave the smallest samosas for 3.20 and the worst. read more

Yelp showed that this restaurant, near Oakland International Airport, served a luncheon buffet. it did not. The staffer explained that the restaurant has no control over Yelp postings. We decided not to eat there and went to our favorite Indian restaurant in Concord, CA. read more

Their service fod dine in is amazing! I love their butter chicken and garlic naan. Their food is authentic and delicious.

My husband and I are regulars. We totally enjoy Royal Kitchen's food. The vegetable samosas, rice, chicken tikka masala, mixed vegetables, onion naan and mango lassis DELIGHT is. For my latest time around, I decided to try shrimp tikka masala. Last time I included fish tikka masala and it wasn't a favorite. I generally do pick up or delivery. The service is good, reasonable wait. The restaurant has several tables, and basic, pleasant decor with TVs going for eat in. read more

On our daring trip to Oakland, we got to try some bomb ass Indian Food! My Cuz was telling me he did some door dash and came here to pick up an order. It smelled so good, homie came back later that night and took some to go. Definitely Smackin . Although it's not at the heart of Oakland (boarder line San Leandro) it definitely had that Oakland taste, Poppin and Hella Good. We ordered about $26 worth of food. 100% get the butter chicken, it was hella hella saucy and good. The garlic nan over the regular nan for sure. The samosa was good too, I like the dark sauce more, the green one is for spicer folks. Definitely a place I'd come back to get garlic nan and butter chicken. read more

We are inside, ordered upon sitting, came on a Sunday afternoon. Locals eating out with nothing in the car. Park right in front, order upon arrival even if ordering take out. Food: Good quality, fresh and good portions. We got ours hot and served with great presentation. Service: family style but professional, well presented food prepared in a reasonable time. They didn't mind small things like bringing more napkins and swapping plastic cups for glasses. Ambiance: typical American Indian restaurant vibes, loved it! Nice seating, spacious and clean. Price is reasonable compared to other places. I hate they took away the buffet it was a much better price for a couple or party of two outting. I'd say come here with others more than alone or with one other. Park safe don't leave anything in the car. My sisters online experience was unimpressive and not as tasty but she loved it when we sat down today! Will def be back this is my fave go-to Indian pls e in the town. read more

I would recommend to anyone. The lamb was amazing and the service was good. The ambiance was a tad sketchy due to the location though.

The service was awful and I have never felt more discriminated against. My husband and I were in the area to pick up Family from the airport, we decided with an hour to wait to go in and try their food. We walked in and looked at their menu lying in the front desk. This restaurant had a large group of about 20 and a couple of other tables towards the back with customers. We were approached by the counter attendant and told him we only had two people to seat. He said we only serve to go, barely speaking English, there were several tables for four for six, and above. We asked we can't sit down again he said to go only. Wow ! It clearly states on their sign dine in / dine out. I would have been patient in ordering but this place gave us not a moments of time. We left. I have never been in a situation like this ever before, but I wanted to save some from the sand discrimination I felt that I just received. Not worth the time save yourself a visit. read more

Very surprised by the higher rated reviews. I have had multiple experiences here along with friends and each time we have been disappointed. There is a good amount of parking outside - be careful not to leave anything in your car There is seating inside The staff is friendly But anything that we have ordered has always been very oily and average read more

This place is soo good!! I have eaten here about four times and the food is excellent!! Service is excellent! The ambiance is completely different than most Indian places in Reno. The bar area is really nice not filled with boxes and random stuff. I would say for the food, you do have order it hot to get good flavor otherwise it's blend, at least to me. read more

Food was decent. We had an incident in parking lot. There is an suv gang that robs luggage. The server warned us to bring all belongings in. I bought our laptop bags in but left suitcase with some two days clothes. My trunk window was smashed and bag taken even though I parked right in front of the restaurant. The gang is operational for years near the Starbucks and this area do not leave any belongings in the car not even trash these idiots will take anything. For me was just two sets of old clothes enjoy my used underwear dudes. read more

Ordered food for delivery for a business lunch. The food may not look as appetizing as pictured but everything was packaged well and the portions were very generous. I ordered the chicken and veggie curry with pita and cucumber salad. The chicken and veggie curry was ordered with mild spice and had some nice punch. The pita was fresh and soft. The sauces complimented the dish well. The cucumber salad provided a nice clean fresh palate cleanser throughout the meal. Definitely a decent Indian comfort food lunch worth ordering again. read more

RoyaOpen during COVID, Came here based on convenience after picking up my SUV being serviced nearby. Their website offered a $2 off coupon...$2 is $2 so why not give them a try right? The online ordering interface is quite tricky and not consistent when putting items in the cart then going back to continue shopping. 4:05pm, placed order for pickup through website. 4:08pm, received an email with confirmation # that the order was received. Email said please allow 25-40 minutes for preparation (PERFECT! I'll pick up the SUV first and grab the food on the way home). 4:30pm, arrived at restaurant to pickup, only to be told that there is no record of my order. Showed them my email confirmation..."but we did not receive your order." OK, showed him my email confirmation again with the itemized food I ordered, just make my food (honest mistake)..."hold on let me call my boss." Wait what?!?!?!. 4:40pm, finally took my order and was told it would be 5-10 minutes. I told them that I would be right out front in a white SUV (implying that the food be brought out to me or he come out to notify me when it was ready), he nodded in acknowledgement. 5:05pm, no food yet. Went in to check...there it was all bagged up ready to go. 3 people just sitting on their rear ends doing nothing starring aimlessly at their phones. Food was nothing special. Ordered butter chicken, naan, sautéed okra, and yogurt. Some okra pieces were old and tough had to spit out. Overall, what intended to be convenient turned out to be very timely, a hassle and mediocre. read more

Honestly, I had a great experience ordering from this location. My food was great and my appetizer was still crunchy - LOL. I do love how when you get a combo, it comes with the option of soda or water. I was afraid my food wasn't going to have the kick that I like in my curry, but it was spot on the right type of kick that I needed. I had the lamb and chicken curry combo and the lamb was really tender and juicy. If I take another go here and order again, I will definitely update my review on something else I've eaten here. read more
