The chicken was prepared fresh (not dry and stringy) with succulent portions. We have experienced in other restaurants where they will fry the already cooked tandoori chicken, which warms it but makes it stringy, oily and disgusting. With myriads of dishes being cooked, the air circulating in the restaurant is great and there is no smell of strong Indian foods that will make you feel suffocated. The volume of music in the restaurant is soft comfortable for carrying out conversation. Nukkad cooks make every item fresh. The process from raw material, kitchen to customers table is streamlined. The cooks, servers and not the least, owners are sincere to this food industry. They are very pleasant. Even the prices have not skyrocketed. Keep up the good work. We will visit you again.

It does come out cold, which threw us a little with the samosas coming out steaming hot. I chose butter chicken for my entree and my step daughter chose Chicken Tikka Masala. Both dishes were delicious! The butter chicken was creamy and flavorful. The service was excellent. They weren't very busy for a Friday at Noon. Great meal, excellent portion sizes for lunch. Definitely a great find! Will be back!

I decided to check out this place on a whim. It had excellent reviews and was a short drive from a…read morerecent destination. The shopping center it's located in was very busy with other restaurants and other businesses so close parking could be scarce depending on the day and time. There was a sign for 10.99 lunch specials outside, but I learned that the specials are only available on the weekends. I started was water and a mango lassi. It was perfectly smooth with the perfect amount of sweetness with a slight hint of salt. They brought out some spiced chips with chutney. I also ordered samosas and PaniPuri as my appetizers. The samosas were perfectly flakey and spiced. The PaniPuri were an experience. First, i didn't expect it to be cold. Then the spiced water that's poured into the wafers was tangy. It was a flavor explosion. For my entrée I ordered the Saag Chicken or Chicken with spinach/greens. The chicken was tender. The flavor was good. I wish I would have added a bit more spice, but I was nervous that I would be too hot. Overall a great visit. My Only critique is the Naan. It was a little tkk dense for me. Almost like it needed one more minute in the oven. For it to be bitter Naan, it was quite dry. The customer service was good. A couple of the staff members offered to show me how to eat some of the dishes. I just politely let them know that I was already familiar. Not sure if I will go back. My first Indian restaurant in the Triangle. I have many more to try!

Hoping to relive that experience, I ordered the same entrées from the Apex location this weekend. What a disappointment. Not only did the Chicken Mandakini and Mughlai look almost identical, they tasted almost identical too. The distinct flavors that made these dishes special were completely missing. At nearly $18 per entrée, I expected quality and authenticity, not two dishes that seemed to come from the same generic gravy base. Unfortunately, this meal was nowhere close to what we enjoyed at the Morrisville location. Sadly, this will be my last order from this restaurant. Never again.

I'd go again and try diff entrees.

Beware of the high yelp rating!…read more We were starving and excited to try this place after a couple hour hike at Umstead yesterday. We LOVE northern Indian and Nepalese food and were lured by the high yelp rating. I'll start with the good. The server was kind and efficient. The chili chicken momo were delicious. The rice and garlic naan were average to good as well. However, our butter chicken and our chicken korma tasted like nothing. It was very strange. There was texture and you could kind of taste the chicken itself but the sauces tasted like nothing. You could almost only tell the two apart based on color and texture. We ordered one of them medium spice and one mild. Even the medium spiced dish had zero flavor. I kind of thought to myself that something was off when the colors looked bright but we couldn't taste a thing. I kept thinking maybe the flavor or heat will build. It never did. Nevertheless we ate everything bc we were starving, but we were definitely disappointed in the lack of flavor. Not long after we left, our stomachs were kind of on edge but we figured this was simply from eating too much. This morning we both woke up ILL. Even though we discussed coming back for the chili momo only in the future, we have since changed our tune. I love locally-owned businesses and hate to leave a bad review but we truly did not have a 4+ star experience here. We won't be back.

Well that did last by the time ink dried on that instagram post. But the Pani puri was good. I didn't know that Pani puri in Hyderabad has ragda (chole) in it. Made it nice. We happened to be there on not such a great day as they looked to be extremely busy with take out orders perhaps due to graduation parties in mid June. The air conditioning wasn't working too well and temperature was hot inside. The service was a bit slower than we would like but seemed like it was unusual order volume on that day. We ordered hot and sour soup we asked for it to be mild but was way too mild. We ordered paneer butter masala which was perfect and we also ordered vegetable koorma with garlic naans. The koorma was a bit more saucy than vegetables but good overall. The naan was piping hot and fresh. We highly recommend the place. I definitely want to see this place succeed - it's close by. This location has been challenging and has seen restaurants rotate. I hope this one sticks.

My favorites were the Dal Bukhara and Butter Chicken. I appreciated the clear labeling at the buffet, I always knew exactly what I was putting on my plate. Nothing was overly spicy, but the seasoning and flavor on every dish were great. I also loved that they bring fresh naan to your table instead of letting it sit out at the buffet (where it can get stale or overcooked). The lunch buffet was about $22 per person, pre-tip, on a Sunday. Well worth the price! Our server was fantastic. He even pointed out that they have separate street food dishes included with the buffet (not just what's on the main line). The Kurkuri Aloo Tikki Chaat (potato cake) was delicious! I wish I'd tried their lunch buffet sooner. It's excellent, and I live so close!

I especially want to mention the fish dish I had with snapper. The sauce was amazing and you always have the option to chose your spice level. We also had an appetizer with tofu which was scrumptious. Their naan is puffy, a little blackened and really good. It takes a little effort to get to them on Capital but, really, the last time we tried to go to a place on Hillsborough, there was no parking and you could hardly hear over the din in the restaurant. Instead, Royal India has ample parking and a quiet, beautiful atmosphere. And the owner comes to your table to greet you. Can't wait to return!

I got to try all the things I was curious about but wouldn't order a full serving of. Also, having bottomless Naan is such a bonus. I prefer Naan over rice with Indian food, so I was in heaven! The Chicken Vindaloo was perfectly seasoned and very flavorful. The spice level of the Vindaloo curry was just to my liking. I didn't think the Dal Makhani was spicy enough, but that is expected at a buffet. The Baba Ghanoush was fresh and worked as a palate cleanser. I tried Saag Paneer (cheese cooked in creamy spinach sauce) for the first time and I really liked it! I then filled up on my favorites: Chicken Vindaloo and Naan. I tried one bite of 3 different deserts after that, and they were all unique and pretty sweet. I think the Rice Pudding was my favorite flavor but the Vanilla Rice Pudding was my favorite texture. We came hungry and left satisfied (or stuffed). I can't wait to come back and try more new things!
