I had a business lunch here today with two others. Service was excellent- offered recommendations, checked on our table frequently and attentive. Food was outstanding- we ordered 5 different dishes across the board, and everything was high quality. Would go back again.

We saw this new restaurant and were excited about it as we love Indian food! It did not disappoint, good bang for your buck. They weren't reinventing the wheel or anything, but the food came out super fresh, was very tasty, and the man running it was very kind and gave great service! Will be coming back.

I have now gotten food from Royal Curry House three times. It has always been good and the prices are quite reasonable. I typically call my order in when leaving, and it is ready in the 10 minutes it takes to drive to the restaurant. While I've never eaten inside the restaurant, the restaurant has always had plenty of seating. The one piece of advice I'd share is that "medium" spicy is plenty spicy at this place. I like things really hot/spicy, and "medium" is about right for me. My first time here, I ordered the top level of spicy, and my Caucasian mucous membranes went into overdrive and it was hard to taste the food. Overall, great place. A very welcome addition to the neighborhood. My favorites: dal tadka, butter chicken, regular naan

I love Indian food and have been fortunate enough to have Indian friends and been to India for work. This does make me picky when it comes to Indian restaurants. This place did not disappoint! It's menu is the standard menu you get in most US Indian restaurants but all fresh, great portions, and they'll spicy it up if asked! It's more of a takeout place with a few basic tables but I put this at the top in terms of Indian in STL!
