Really I think this should be rated higher! We went for the buffet, which apparently now only happens Sunday. We had three lunch specials, and all were great. Mine was perhaps the best lamb vindaloo I have ever had. Recommended!

Looking for Indian Cuisine in San Diego? Royal India is located in the Del Mar area. Their decor and indoor water wall is gorgeous!! It has a fine dining vibe. They also have a lovely outdoor patio. The staff were friendly and welcoming! Kudos to Hiran for his wonderful customer service! They offer Modern Indian cuisine with an explosion of flavor that will keep you going back for more!!

If you love Indian food than you got to check this spot out! Definitely always scared to try Indian food because it always seems to spicy for me but they give you a scale 1-10 on how spicy you want it !! We started things off with their signature tandoori wings and they were amazing ! My wife got the traditional chicken tikka masala, I had a bite and it was delicious. I got the mango pineapple curry with lamb meat and it was spectacular! I wanted it more !! Over my rice and it just so amazing ! Highly recommend it. We also had some somosa which were yummy. And we finished things off with some mango dessert they had. Definitely coming back here ! Lots of seating and service was great !

We had takeout, and it was absolutely fabulous! I had the lamb Rogan Josh (my go-to) and the lamb was tender (break apart with a fork), and the sauce rich. I ordered a "6 level" spiciness, and it was just right. We also had the chicken Tikka masala and it was very good indeed.

We dove into the signature dishes like the rich and creamy Chicken Makhani, Chilli ginger curry, flavorful Aloo Tikki, Samosa chaat and paired them with the amazing selection of Indian beer and other cocktails.

Amazing service and beautiful ambiance.

Today I visited Royal India located in Delmar. Scrumptious food, lit ambience and swift service. Everything from presentation of food to taste is truly amazing. We started off with mango lassi which was super refreshing. Tandoori Paneer Tikka is definitely a must try here. In Mains malai kofta was extremely delicious. In dessert pistachio kulfi and shahi mango is my absolute favourite. All in all it was truly amazing.

I love love love Indian food. It's one of my favorite things! Royal India is authentic and feels so homey. Every dish is out of this world delicious. I went with the lychee martini, the tandoori wings, the chicken masala & the spicy chicken. First off, the lychee martini was perfection. I'll definitely be back to get this! The wings were so flavorful, I could of eaten them all. The chicken Masala was one of the best I've ever had. It felt like a great comfort food. My friend got the spicy chicken Kabab and he cleared his plate lol. To add onto the gotear food, service was amazing. They really take care of you and make sure you're happy with the meal! I'll be back soon for that martini!

Flavorful paneer vindaloo and best paneer saag. Saag has right amount of creaminess and a lot more flavor than other places. Spice 8/10 is perfect and on par with legit Thai establishments 8/10 spice. Lunch special weekdays only and quite filling.

Been meaning to try this spot and finally ordered takeout for the first time. Smooth experience with pickup and right on time. The Matter Paneer was surprisingly sweet and really addicting. Would highly recommend. The Dal Tarka and Chettinad Pepper Chicken were also great options as well.

I love Indian food and was impressed with the taste and quality of their food. The restaurant is beautiful inside too. I will definitely return to try more from their menu.

Spices in curry was great! Spicy level was as expected! Service was prompt! Royal India’s lamb biryani has a lot of favorite by adding cumin and fried onions bites. It has good portion of lamb pieces. However, I usually like saffron on biryani rice and a little drier texture. Restaurant has indoor and outdoor seatings and is spacious with nice decoration. Will go back and try other dishes.

This Indian cuisine is very good for Indian food particularly Punjabi food. The food test & quality is good. The ambience is excellent with outdoor seating. We celebrated a birthday party here & enjoyed it too much.

The service and ambience are always amazing, but the food is just ok. The tandoori chicken was almost fall off the bone, but lacked basic flavor. The butter chicken tasted good, but the curry was not as creamy. Mutter Paneer was surprisingly delicious. For the price, the portion sizes are small, but the dining experience is finer than most other Indian restaurants.

The place is really nice, a solid 3.5/5. The ambiance is amazing, classy, romantic.. wait staff is decent, although it did take a bit before the food came out. Everything we ordered was 4/5 quality; the only thing really missing was value and customers. Was fairly quiet on Father’s Day.. probably related to pricing; cough, cough.

On Sundays, a champagne buffet lunch is an option and is $15.99 a person. For non-alcoholic options you can request for soda, chai tea or mango lassi. The lunch included three veggie dishes, two kinds of basmati rice and two chicken curry dishes. The flavors I feel we're lacking. Needed more bolder Indian spices. The restaurant is clean and very empty when I got there. I was only the 2nd customer during lunch around 12 noon.

Unfortunately, I did not read the reviews before ordering here. The portions are ridiculously small and so overpriced! We have spent $92 on two main items (overcooked chicken tikka, very dry lamb rogan), naan, and raita.
