Honestly have no idea how you can screw up two staples (chicken Tikka masala and “butter” chicken). Every Indian restaurant I go to, I try these dishes. If it failure, the others will be bad. In both curries, there literally was no taste!. I haven’t tried the buffet, but after this I wouldn’t even bother to try.

My wife and I are new to Lake Forest and were in search of an Indian Restaurant. We ate here yesterday and asked the waitress for recommendations. She highly recommended the lamb chops and they were delicious! All the plates were great. I think we found our new go to Indian in the area.

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.

The best Indian lunch buffet I’ve had so far! Owner is very friendly! Large selection to choose from and it comes with garlic naan! Very good price as well. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for Indian in the OC area.

My favorite Indian around. Their lunch buffets are excellent, with a good choice that is different everytime. They usually have at least 4 meat curries and similar vegetarian types. Their Tandoori chicken is excellent.

Great Indian buffet. Always a good sign when one of the dishes is goat. The fresh garlic naan came out with a beautiful buttery glisten that tempts you to eat it as soon as the basket lands on the table. Service was 1st rate and I never had to ask for a water refill, they just did it and well before I got to the bottom of the glass. To top it off it was only $10 for the lunch buffet. They have excellent samosas and other vegetarian options at their buffet as expected of a quality Indian restaurant so there is something for everyone.

My wife and I are new to the area, wanted some good Indian food. We found our way to Royal Rasoi, enjoyed it so much we went back. I’m doing less meat so got two paneer dishes that were quite good. Spouse got.ine thing and wished she had ordered what I got. Second time she got byriani and it was fab. I got to bat cleanup! Yum. Garlic Naan is stellar. Good service, too.
