I had a decent experience with this restaurant in the past, but the quality seems to have changed…read more Service is still fast and friendly. The front staff seem very nice. The pakora are still really delicious-- crispy, well-seasoned, with nice variety. The mint chutney tasted like spoiled raw onions to me. It's a *weird* fake color, like food coloring, with a fake mint flavor. There don't seem to be fresh herbs in there--certainly if it has any fresh mint or cilantro, it's not a flavor you can taste. The tamarind chutney is extremely sweet, like a jam, without any sour tamarind flavor. It's a shame to serve delicious pakora with such sauces (the mint one I found truly inedible). The curry dishes are ok, not much different from what we can make at home, and the cost per dish is quite high, close to $20/dish. The toilet in the women's bathroom looked like it had not been cleaned in months. The dining room is clean, though. Overall, my impression of this restaurant has dropped since it opened and I'm not sure I'd return except just for pakora. The place was almost empty on Friday night. I'm sad about this, since Eugene has so few Indian restaurants.

First time visiting. We went in at an off time and were one of two parties. The server was…read morewelcoming, friendly and happily answered questions. However, overall service was slow. We ordered a veg pakora combo, butter chicken, palak paneer, and garlic naan. The palak paneer was requested to be medium spicy and it was adequate. There was only a couple of pieces of paneer though. We had the same complaint with the butter chicken in that there was only a small portion of chicken included. The garlic naan was not quite as garlicky as experienced elsewhere but it was definitely hot and freshly made and was delicious and sizable. The veg combo was delicious as were the tamarind and mint chutneys. The restaurant was clean and inviting but the bathrooms could have been cleaner.

The gal told me that the lunch buffet will end in about 40 minutes and asked if it was okay with us. I said no problem. We go seated and got went to the buffet counter. It was a smaller selection than what we were used to but it didn't bother us. We got what we wanted to eat and enjoyed our food. Even though the buffet was closing soon, the cooks were still bringing items out. I was kinda expecting we were just going to get what ever is left, but everything was still coming out very hot and fresh. I didn't get seconds, but my daughter did. She's pregnant and said that the food really hit the spot for her and the baby. For me, that's a win! Thank you for the great food and service. We will definitely be back.

I have been wanting some Indian food, and saw on Royal India's website they offer lunch specials…read morethat were pretty reasonable. So I went to Royal India. I was seated quickly, and brought water... I also ordered a Masala Chai. Once there, I found out they no longer have Lunch Specials, but opened a buffet ($17.95) instead. Apparently the website has been incorrect for over a year, but the owner has not fixed it. I did not really want buffet, although it looked decent. So I ordered the Chicken Korma ($19.95). Then I found out that unlike the lunch specials I was hoping for, they do not serve Naan with their dishes, so also ordered some Garlic Naan. The food was delivered to my table in a reasonable amount of time... and looked good, although I thought the portion of Korma was pretty small for the price. Korma description in the menu states it has cashews and raisins in it. I think I could taste some cashew, although there were no whole cashews like I have had at other restaurants with this dish... and no raisins either. It did taste strongly of curry leaves which overpowered the cashew flavor I love. But every cook does this dish differently. Large portion of rice was ok. Garlic naan was very thin, and lacked the chewy softness I expect from naan. This was just flat, no rise at all. Masala chai was lacking in flavor, but it was a large portion, which was nice. Service was very good... Ingrid checked on me repeatedly, and was very nice. For the price ($36+) with the tip, I felt like this was a very expensive lunch, and while I did take some home... it was not even a meal (unless you count just the rice). Usually if I spend that, I get at least one other meal from the takeout. I guess I will have to just stick to making Korma at home when I want some. Not sure if I will be back....

The wine and beer selections were just enough. The drinks, appetizers, and main dishes were well timed. I get a little irked when the entrees arrive seconds after the appetizer, or your drinks come after the food. Also, our water was never empty! Great service! Hubby had the tandoori chicken thali and I had the bhindi masala thali. The presentation was perfect, with plenty of naan that was just right: crisp in the outside, but soft and pillowy on the inside. My okra was cooked perfect and the masala was yummy. The tandoori was also flavorful, but the chicken was a little underdone at the bone. The portion were large. Both of us had lunch the next day! Overall, a great night! Thank you!

It was chilly, so we waited inside of the public house building in the middle of all the food trucks. The building had a welcoming atmosphere. We were greeted by a friendly bartender at the bar, there are high ceilings, and dim lighting with natural light coming from the large windows. Music was playing, but wasn't too loud. Seemed like a nice spot to work from home. There were a few people who had their laptops plugged in at the tables. The crunch wraps were warm when they arrived, but still crunchy on the outside. I ordered my chicken crunch wrap extra spicy and it had a good amount of heat. The vegan crunch wrap was equally filling and flavorful. The marsala fries were a let down; they were the regular fries with a little drizzle of sauce and black sesame sprinkled on top. I wouldn't pay extra to order it again since it tasted just like the regular fries. We ordered the natural root beer in the public house which tasted refreshing and much better than the canned stuff you get at the grocery store. It paired well with the rich, creamy crunch wraps. Would come again!

I was excited for the soup which came out flavorless, salt and pepper did nothing. They were happy to take it off the bill, something I really appreciated. (Though it was +$4 with my meal and they had it as a separate item for $7.) My hummus and pita came out-delicious! Glorious. Truly some tasty hummus. The pita was soft and fluffy-it saved the whole mood. My pita was nothing to write home about, bland chicken in my opinion but maybe that's how they're served? Again, I'm a first timer. I decided to give half the pita a go, but gave up after my water glass sat on the corner of the table unfilled while the staff chatted in the back. There were a total of 2 people who needed attention besides myself at the time. I hope they leave happier than I did. I took my remaining food to hopefully feed a person outside. Lesson learned. 2 stars for the hummus.

The menu has a large selection of standard Indian food fare, including vegetarian and meat dishes. It's for your Greatest Hits of Indian food without getting two deep, although except for one snack of fish fritters, the only meat available is chicken. That being said, I'd like to try every one of the meat dishes. Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Curry, Chicken Tandoori, Chicken Biryani...yes, please. My partner FINALLY got me to a place to enjoy Indian food. As this was my first time here, though, I opted for the most basic of dishes and went with the Butter Chicken. Chicken pieces in a tomato curry sauce, this is usually a signature dish of any restaurant and how a place makes it seems to largely determine how good everything else is, in my opinion. So ordering was fast and easy. I was asked how spicy I wanted it. I said "as spicy as you can make it." The man at the window smirked at that and I confirmed I was serious, and saw him wrote "spicy +" on my ticket, so I think he took it seriously then. Honestly, so many times my partner and I ask for "spicy" and get a bland mild....like we don't know what spicy is. To be fair, I know a lot of places get complaints for being "too spicy" when someone doesn't known what they're doing, but we really like it hot and don't need to be protected. Anyways, I ordered that and some garlic naan. When my order was ready, it came bagged up with my food, a paper plate, and a knife and fork disposable bag kit. The chicken itself was in a plastic sealed cup and there was a box of basmati rice. It was also very hot, temperature wise. I waited for my partner to get her seafood and then I went to town. Long story short (too late), it was good. There was A LOT of chicken, the curry was very spicy without being overpowering, but I definitely felt it. It was a hot day outside and the food did it's job of making me sweat and cooling me down. The sauce was wonderful and was great with the rice as well as why dipping the naan. The naan was standard but had a good, not heavy, garlic flavor. A bit dry but it is an unleavened bread. I dipped it in the curry and it was quite good. So far this has been one of my favorite meals at the Barn, and I'm looking forward to going back and trying the tandoori and the biryani.
