I’ve ordered take out from here a couple times, and the food has always been good. The garlic naan and rice are on point, and the paneer dishes I’ve ordered have been very flavourful. Just wish there was a bit more paneer, but I know cheese is expensive right now.

I ordered online, Sunday, March 23rd. When I got to the restaurant about 9:15pm, they said that they didn't have my order. So, I called Beyond menu customer service and she said she would call the restaurant and call me right back. I believe the owner came out, and asked me if I had the right restaurant. So I left, the man I believed was the owner, came outside to get me, while the lady from customer service called me, to say that, they would make my food. When I got back inside, he told me to sit down, it would be a few minutes. It was 9:40 and they close at 10pm, but my food was smelling really good. So, when the man came out of the kitchen to hand me my food, he had this big smile on his face, like he knew that food was good and that I would be back. He was correct! It tasted just as good as it smelled. I ordered the chili chicken and chicken biryani and it was the best I have tasted. There is an Indian restaurant near my house, it's good, but it's not better than Royal indian cuisine. I will definitely be back!

Great flavors, lamb and chicken were both tender. Dessert wasn't too sweet but satisfied our cravings. Overall a great experience, especially since they were the only restaurants opened late on Christmas Eve! More food reviews on Instagram @midwestmunching

We have visited this place during our trip for quick bite ! It was great down town near place but tough to get parking in a street ! Food perspective great food ! Well cooked ! Great taste ! They made food how we describe to them. Good place to visit and enjoy Indian food ! Lot of chicken ,Lamb and veg varieties but less fish in the menu. Price is decent ! Might be get higher soon due to inflation!

This is a hidden jewel in Southwest Center city. It has the most delicious chili chicken I have ever had. Seriously, I dream about that chicken. It’s a shop you can walk right by everyday and not notice it’s there, but if you love Indian food, don’t miss it. The only drawback is that in summer, it gets hot in there because the AC doesn’t work well. But I get it delivered most of the time so it hardly matters.

Small place, big flavor! My son and I really enjoy lunch here. The Chilly Chicken appetizer is delicious. We can also recommend the Vindaloo and Dal Tadka. The garlic naan is hot, fluffy and perfect for getting all that sauce. The service was friendly. This is a nice spot sit, relax, and have some great Indian food.

I got the salmon masala and garlic naan here and it was amazing! This is my go to spot now when I’m around Rittenhouse.
