Royal India Restaurant

Exceptional! Food beyond amazing! Clean and organized! Awesome value for lunch buffet. Must stop by if you are passing by Lake Forest, CA. Support the local family owned restaurant! 2 thumbs up and full 5 stars!!

BEST Indian cuisine (buffet) I have ever eaten. The restaurant’s environment is very clean, and everything is well-organized. The dishes at the self-service counter are very fresh, and the counter itself is very tidy. There is a wide variety of vegetarian dishes, chicken, and lamb dishes. Each dish has a unique style and distinct flavor. The garlic naan is highly recommended, as it is very aromatic. The yogurt counter features a variety of special Indian snacks and desserts. The owner is very warm and patient, providing attentive and comfortable service.

This has been our favorite Indian restaurant in the area for a few years now. Their paneer butter masala and malai kofta are the best. We love all their veggie curries. The staff is also very friendly and the service is quick. The ambience is also nice. Highly recommend this restaurant if you love Indian food.

Excellent food, service, and value. They could easily charge more and we would still come back. Both vegetarian, and non vegetarian choices were great. My picky kids ate two plates and loved it. Definitely will become our local staple Indian food!

Lunch buffet is the best value around! Chicken tikka masala and naan are incredible. They have all sorts of sauces and sides to go along with it. Don’t forget about dessert! Servers are very friendly and attentive. Restaurant is clean and well maintained. One of our go to lunch spots! You won’t be disappointed.

Apart from the strange location and unusual route to get to this restaurant, the food and prices are excellent value. Open 7 days a week for buffet lunch, they had all the required dishes covered including tandoori chicken, butter chicken, curry chicken, curry goat, biryani, paneer, naan, and samosas, plus a separate chutney bar and fresh fruit. In a way, this is a hidden gem only the locals seem to know.

I recently dined at Royal Indian restaurant and had an exceptional experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary decor. The staff was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, offering fantastic recommendations that perfectly suited our preferences. We started with the samosas which were crispy and flavorful and moved on to the chicken tikka masala and paneer butter masala both were outstanding! The spices were perfectly balanced creating a rich and authentic taste. The garlic naan was fresh and fluffy and the mango lassi was the perfect sweet complement to the meal. What stood out most was the variety of vegetarian and vegan options catering to diverse dietary needs The portions were generous and the price were reasonable offering excellent value for money Overall I highly recommend Royal Indian Restaurant for anyone craving genuine Indian, Nepalese and Chinese Cuisine. I can’t wait to visit again!
