Royal India Indian Cuisine in Merced

Incredible lunch buffet options for a good price. Clearly labeled vegan dishes. Everything had a very distinct flavor and didnt rely too heavily on cream. The veggie pakora, muttar paneer, butter chicken, and saag were the best Ive ever had. I also had a samosa, roti, mushroom and onion, and a cup of chai. All absolutely A+ as well.

We were quite excited to see pictures of dosas and idlis on the front door. We went fir lunch on a Tuesday, but the restaurant was closed. We came back the following Friday. The restaurant is clean and well decorated, the service is fast. They have a comprehensive menu that includes some South India dishes that we havent seen yet in Merced. The food is quite good - we stuck with dahi vada, pakoda, masala and egg dosas. Typically we have to drive to Fresno to get South Indian food, so its quite exciting to have it available in Merced!

Saw that this new place was open. Ordered some food to go. People inside were super nice. First time eating Indian food and I got chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, rice and garlic naan to share with a couple of friends. Guy said I should order extra naan and he was right. Ended up going through all the food and it was barely enough naan for the 3 of us. Good food, will be coming back

The best buffet in town! You can’t beat the price of 11.99 per person. You and the entire family will eat well and will have the opportunity to try different Indian plates without committing to a large price tag. The service is friendly and helpful. I would recommend this to families and people on break especially since there is something everyone will like. There are lots of vegetarian options and the food varies, some being spicy and some not but none are tongue burning.

The food, customer service, atmosphere is excellent!! There is a steady flow of busy traffic, the food is just THAT good! The owner’s wife was so sweet, she patiently explained every food item I selected and made suggestions for my selections offering samples of other delicious deserts while I waited for my order. I’m sure that’s not a normal occurrence, but it shows the level of kindness and customer service there. I highly recommended this clean friendly, delicious new restaurant to everyone. I will be a frequent customer.

A new Indian restaurant with Halal meat is clearly mentioned on the menu. The service was good. It was clean. As a conservative Muslim who cares about healthy foods, and an Indian food lover, Im happy because I didnt see any alcoholic beverages inside the restaurant. So, I was able to dine in and order a soft drink beside my food. They have a very delicious chai (an Indian type of tea with milk). The staff were very nice and welcoming, answering my questions about food. This will be one of the restaurants to which I will go many times in the future.

Excellent customer service and super clean restaurant. There buffet is amazing. For takeout I get the chicken wrap. It has lettuce,onions and Chicken Tikka wrapped in a naan bread making it the size a of super huge burrito all for about $14.40 or so out the door. Well worth it in my opinion. The owners and the girls that work there are genuinely nice. This is my new go-to Indian Restaurant.

Best Lunch Buffet in town. It was inexpensive and so delicious. I’m definitely coming back for their Aloo Zucchini. Great way to explore different Indian food dishes without busting the bank. Server gladly answered questions I had about their selection of food.

A friend and I went for the lunch buffet today, our first time here. Wow! The food was excellent, the service prompt and efficient, and the enterior was cozy, with lovely decorations and quiet Indian music. We were both impressed. There is a great dinner menu as well. Next time well try dinner!

This is 100% the best Indian food in Merced county, and honestly the best ive had in a long time. This place is 10 times better than massala and I would say they even have taste of little india beat by 50%. The food is extremely flavorful and they do not skimp out on the spices and herbs. I cannot believe how good this is, the food requires no salt of sauce, its amazing right out of the kitchen. I cant give enough praise, well done, and thank you for opening this spot in our neighborhood.
