Great food and reasonable prices! Lunch buffet was $16.95 when I went today on a Saturday. Buffet included standard Indian lunch buffet options that were very tasty. Lots of really good vegetarian options! Most were not spicy, but the ones that are spicy are not labeled so be sure to ask about spice levels if you can't tolerate spice. Their rice pudding was very "watery" at first glance, but it turns out they just use a lot of milk/cream instead of water (plus a lot of other things like cashrews and raisins!), so it was actually very delicious. Waitstaff were very nice. Their dinner entrees are good too, and reasonably priced. Some of their entrees look small at first since since they serve them in bowls, but it's actually deep bowl containing a sizable portion. The only "problem" is finding the restaurant is somewhat hard since it's tucked away behind two shopping plazas, so it's easy to miss.

Royal Rasoi recently won me over with their incredible lunch buffet! It's the perfect way to explore a variety of Indian flavors. The tandoori chicken was a standout - beautifully spiced and cooked to juicy perfection. The chicken tikka masala was rich and creamy, with a depth of flavor that had me going back for seconds. The mixed vegetables offered a welcome freshness, and the chicken curry added another layer of warmth and spice to the feast. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality. The buffet itself was a great value, offering a generous selection of dishes to try. If you're looking for a delicious and affordable way to delve into Indian cuisine, Royal Rasoi's lunch buffet is a must-try!

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.

Can't beat the $16.95 all you can eat lunch buffet. Great selection and bountiful well cooked and flavorful variety of your Indian cuisine. Outstanding! Must give it a try. And if you like tea, try the Indian tea. Excellent!

One of the best Indian restaurants I have ever experienced. Try their butter shrimp as a good alternative to butter chicken (if you want seafood). Also, their lamb karahi is incredible. Ordered the garlic & chilly pepper naan it was good & so was the cheese naan. Good service too! Good quantity of food as well!

Indian restaurants in Southern California are dime a dozen but heavily lack quality. This one stood out on my drive from SD to LA. Their service was excellent. Ambiance is perfect as it's right off the hwy and close to a gas station. Their food was outstanding as well. If you want Punjabi food, you want to make sure they are the ones making it.
LENT special fish item on buffet served every wednesday. Excellent food and service. We always go there for our favorite fish pakoras, and fish curry. We also have been there for buffet many times. We went this Wednesday for lunch, i was thinking of my mind to order our favorite fish item but was surprised to see them on the buffet. I asked the server about fish being on buffet, so he told me that because of LENT, they serve fish item on buffet every Wednesday. It's so cool. i follow Lent, and i am going to be there every Wednesday.

Once again our favorite Indian place never disappoints. It's always pretty empty which is great for seating, but doesn't make sense since it's amazing. Highly recommend. Always plenty of leftovers.Their buffet is really great during lunch hours if you want to sample different items at once. Casual dining.

All around a great experience. The food was well executed and the service was simple, efficient, and just the right amount of attentiveness. Well done, Royal Rasoi.

Should have known going to the lunch buffet within the last 90 min would be subpar. Food was dried out and not very appetizing. Terrible samosas and hard rice. However, the fresh garlic naan was really nice (made and brought to the table) and the salad bar portion of the buffet was well stocked and appetizing. The owner watching videos on his iPad at full volume from a neighboring table was not enjoyable to listen to however. Really destroyed the ambience of lunch and ruined our ability to have our own conversation at our table. Sorry but won’t be visiting here again. $40 for lunch buffet for two all in.

This is a review for DoorDash delivery. Vegetarian samosas: so excellent. I love these I always get four personally for my own consumption eat two the first night I get them and then squirrel the other two to eat half at daily intervals with my much less scrumptious homemade Indian fare 5/5 Chicken tikka masala: this is definitely a staple dish for the white girl dabbling in Indian cuisine. I don't care if I'm adhering to a stereotype, I love CTM. The sauce is always reliably excellent at royal Rasoi. However, when you get it for takeout or delivery, the chicken is a bit more overcooked than what you will appreciate with a dine in or buffet experience. 4/5 Daal Makhani: very good, some of the lentils are a little more firm, others are very soft, that is intrinsic to the dish when you order it from this restaurant. Very buttery highly recommend. 5/5 Saag Paneer: also very solid choice. I got it as a mild spice level in an attempt to entice a child to eat it, I probably should have gotten medium, because the flavor profile was good, but it was just a bit bland without the added peppers. 4/5
