Our first visit on opening day didn’t disappoint. Pretty large menu with lots of vegetarian options all reasonably priced. We had the cauliflower appetizer, Chicken Biryani, Butter Chicken (didn’t get a pic), and Beet Root Dumplings in a curry type sauce. My personal favorite was the butter chicken that has more depth of flavor than anywhere else I’ve ever had it. Second favorite was the cauliflower appetizer. Friendly service and very clean. We will be back for more!

I have eaten here twice in two weeks! It is so delicious! I love the lime pepper chicken and their malai chicken! So so flavorful. The pesto naan is so good, too! The rice is light and fluffy. Everyone is so helpful. Definitely a favorite now!!!!

The food was delicious! The server was so nice and attentive. We asked for something not on the menu and the chef accommodated us! It was delish! We have tried 3-4 dishes and have bot been disappointed yet! I must admit that I was skeptical of an Indian restaurant in Alexandria, LA, but was so pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere got 4 stars because Id prefer no music, but I know that I may be in the minority on that one:)

I treated my brother for the buffet today for his birthday. This was one of the best buffets I ever enjoyed! Wow! In the past I have eaten here on weekday evenings (Tues - Thursday). I had to wait long for food and service sort of long because they had a flood customers and only one waiter. This was a MUCH BETTER experience! The food was excellent!

Stopped while my car was getting new tires down the street. The place was quiet and the waiter/host greeted me at the door. Looking at the menu I decided on the chicken chettinad as well as some garlic naan (that’s what pushed the price slightly over the 20.00 mark.) The food came out nice and hot with generous servings; the bread warm and fresh out the oven. It all tasted as good as it looked and smelled. Before I knew it I had eaten everything and it was time to go check on the car.

Was traveling to Kisatchie from Lafayette and we stopped into Royal india bistro after a hike and the food was amazing. We got the veggie biryani, Peshawari masala, veggie korma, and garlic naan. I have never seen a biryani cooked with a bread over the bowl it was super cool. Great vegan options! Amazing flavors and great service. Thank you to the team at Royal Indian bistro! Much love
