We eat a lot of Indian food. A lot. An embarrassing amount…read more Soooo I do believe we have a wide range of market samples to compare to. Having lived on the south side of Edmonton most of my adult life, I tried every Indian option over there. Now that I've moved North, I have to try everything to find my new go-to. Royal India Express might be it!!! (I am surprised, because anything "express" has been a let-down to me in the past). This is the second time in 2 weeks we have ordered from Royal India Express (both times via Skip the Dishes)... so I can't speak to the store front as I have no idea what it's like. I can only assume it's a walk-up style place for take-out only, that probably has all the food ready-to-go buffet style, with no dining room. (A quick google search just now confirmed I was pretty much bang on). So, I am even more DELIGHTED that the quality and flavour of this food is TOP NOTCH. Both times we have ordered in the last two weeks the food has been just excellent. ANNNNNDDDD they listen when you ask them to kick up the heat. Everything was a good level of heat. I wouldn't call it EXTRA EXTRA hot like I asked; but certainly one extra... The overall flavour is great, though. So no foul. If you've read my Indian food reviews before, you know I ALWAYS order Daal Makhni. This is the yummiest Daal I've had. 10/10. It's pure comfort food for me. The Butter Chicken was great and had a kick to it. Nice fiery after taste. I will say there could have been a bit more chicken in there for the price though. This is my only complaint here. The Palak Paneer was very very spinachy, and I loved it. Packed with flavour. Last week when we ordered we got lamb. I didn't have it but the boyfriend said the meat was quality cuts and flavoured very well. Good on you, Royal Indian Express. You will absolutely be seeing us again.

Solid 4 out of 5. Ordered it on SkipTheDishes, food was very nicely packed, and huge portions!…read more I'll start with the Saffron Rice. It was crazy good, had lots of flavour, unique spices, and a wonderful aroma. I find Indian food has amazing aromas! The Chicken Chettinadu was excellent, however, I was not made aware it was spicy. I can handle spicy food, but this was a bit much even for me! I'll still give it a very good review, because it was very tasty! And the garlic Naan was amazing! I didn't realize one order gave you two pieces of naan, so I did two orders, and have enough naan to live off of! For it being my first time ordering from them, I was very impressed, and will definitely get the saffron Rice and Garlic Naan again, but, the Chicken Chettinadu was just a bit too spicy for me. My only suggestion for the restaurant, is to have options for spice level.

Went here for an early Monday Indian dinner (buffet style of course). First time coming here and…read morehave to say it won't be my last! The place is absolutely massive - they have a separate section for banquets/parties/events and then the main dining section (by the buffet). So back to the food. Best part - dinner buffet is only $14.95! So cheap. Food is actually really tasty and hot. There are a few salad/fruit selections but I was saving my appetite for the main dishes. There were 12 dishes (8 vegetable and 4 meat): - Rice * Lemon rice (yummy) - Palak paneer * Aloo gobi (delicious cauliflower, potatoes and interestingly this one came with slices of tomatoes and cilantro) - Vegetable pakora - Chickpeas - Lentils - Guferati (green beans) - Lightly battered fried fish * Goat curry (perfectly tender) * Butter chicken (nice and creamy and perfect sauce to complete my naan) - Mysore chicken Note: * means you should eat these dishes for sure. Really like the wide selection of choices and how there are lots of vegetable dishes to choose from. Service is super friendly - staff take your dishes and fill your water/tea constantly. Naan is made fresh to order and was delicious. Nice, fluffy and warm with perfect crunch to it. Music is hilarious - top 40 DJ remixes but it is in the background and isin't too intrusive. Just not what I would expect at an Indian restaurant. Stuffed as always from buffet but we were able to get a few bites in for dessert. They had gulab jabun (mini honey soaked donuts), mango custard (EAT this - nice and light) and kheer (rice pudding). All in all, really good quality and tasty Indian buffet! Go and check it out.

This Indian restaurant in Mill Woods has the best Aloo Tikki I've ever had. The Grilled potato and…read moresweet potato cakes come with a delicious tamarind chutney that's spicy, tart and savoury. I just love it. Their veggie pakoras are also some of the best I've tasted - deep friend vegetables in chick pea batter. And the tandoori chicken's not imitation; it's cooked in a real tandoor oven. Outside of downtown, where I love to go to Haweli, this is the best runner up on my fave Indian food places. The butter chicken here - called tikka in makhani - ( you learn something new each day) is superb and I highly recommend dining here. After all, it's in a neighbourhood filled with Indian spice stores and specialty grocers, sari and gold jewelry shops. It's authentic Indian in the heart of Mill Woods a.k.a. Little India.

The Kathir Food Experience was a terrible one…read more Here's what we ordered: 1. Iddiyappam with Beef curry Combo (CAD 13): The iddiyappm was okay-ish but the beef curry was just water with pieces of beef floating around. The masala wasnt proper. 2. Podi Masala Dosa: I had high hopes on this one, but to no avail. There was way too much podi more than what you would spread in a dosa. Three chutneys were served out of which I can confidently say only one was fresh- the coconut chutney (tasted just okay), the other two were packaged sauces. Sambar was served alongside- this was the only thing better compared to all of that which was ordered. 3. Masala Vada with Sambar: A plate with two vada's served with coconut chutney. The vada was very soggy and did not taste fresh. On providing feedback to the staff on premises, we were told that the below average quality/taste of food was due to the rush at the hotel. Well, no comments on that! VFM: 0/5 Ambience: 2/5

I asked the chef what size is the bowl of soup , he told me the small bowl . I mentioned its too small for a $7 soup and he said no problem ill make a bigger bowl. Two bowls of soup show up . We start eating and the lady manager starts dumping buckets of ice into their buffet while breaking the ice with a hammer . Very annoying when there is no music playing in the background and you are having your meal with the ambience of an ice factory . We go to pay the bill and are charged 27 dollars for 2 small bowls of soup ( one chicken & one veg ) mostly frozen veggies in one and frozen veggies with a few chunks of chicken in the other I paid the bill and asked the lady at the counter if it was justified to charge $27 for two snack size bowls of soup , her reply was that " You asked for double portions so you have to pay for 2 soups " . Hot & sour soup is included in the buffet which is only a few dollars more . I told her that and she became defensive " You orders soup not buffet " . Well if someone had told me that , i would have had the buffet . Complete rip off . Pathetic customer service . Never going back . Pictures attched of the small bowl for $7 and the large bowl for $14 . Both are a joke .
