Royal Kitchen Indian Restaurant

Yum! Chicken Tikka Masala was very tasty and nicely spiced (I got medium spice). It is done with white meat chicken which some people may not like but I prefer—tender and flavorful. Garlic naan was not as thick as I am used to but it was very good—again great flavor. The owners/staff were very attentive and anxious to know how I liked my meal. That was nice. Overall excellent especially for the area where they are.

The food was fine, not particularly spiced but good flavor. The garlic naan was awesome! I am very disappointed that rice wasn't served with the entrée. Isn't that just part of the meal? I got takeout and was not going back for rice nor was I going to cook some and let the rest of my meal get cold. Led to a disappointing experience, they could have at least told me that it the entrees come without rice, I would have either ordered some or ordered from somewhere else.

I have been a regular to Royal Kitchen during my visit to California for mainly 3 reasons - 1. The food is amazingly tasty and feels almost home like. 2. Harry is one of the nicest owners that I have come to know. 3. My mother wouldnt try any other joints after a dinner at Royal on the very first day. Under new mangement now, I would highly recommend the place for a good dinner after a long day. Thank you Royal Kitchen and Harry for ensuring I don't have to worry about food.

I ordered chicken butter came in a small 160z looking container bowl. I thought it was way too pricey. There was nothing unique about the taste it taste like chicken masala or some other chicken dish that I've had before. I ordered lamb curry same size way too pricey and it was alright wasn't nothing unique about the taste. The mixed vegetables again way too pricey, it taste alright. The naam garlic bread was a little too bland for me, it was tough and chewy. I paid $55 for what? I am not please at all, Royal Kitchen is very scimpy with portions and way too pricey.

I had a horrible experience at Royal Kitchen this afternoon which I thought, I should share in this forum. While I was ordering, I asked a question about an item in the menu. The lady in the front desk said" You are an Indian and you should know this" and basically accused by integrity and honestly. I did not know the item because I'm from south of India. Instead of answering the question, she want me to buy something or leave the store.. Most part I was polite and referred her with "Mam". I don't know what triggered her to assume that I should know all the items in the menu or she want to refuse service to a South India or she doesn't know the details behind the item in the menu... It just bothered me because this whole escalation happened when I said "I'm south of India".
