My family had been ordering take out here since the pandemic started. The quality of food was on and off. It can really be good on occasions and also bad. But the good usually outweighs the cons. I was extremely disappointed with the food quality today. We ordered bhindi masala, aloo gobi, veggie vindaloo, veggie khorma and butter chicken. It tasted funny, old and over cooked. The okra /ladyfingers was extremely salty and spicy when we told them very, very mild. I wish we dined in and we probably would have received better food and given us fresh food. It looked like leftovers. All the veggies were disintegrating. I kid you not. We usually do not have leftovers but today there were plenty of it. I would think twice in ordering food here again after this unfortunate experience. The quality just went downhill. The price doesn’t justify the flavours. Wasted $$ Check...
Read moreI ordered their butter chicken and got garlic naan and butter naan as well. The food was fantastic. I have trouble when it comes to really spicy food, so I asked them to make it less spicy, and they did a great job - it was perfect! Portion sizing was great as well for one person. If you're ordering for a group, expect to buy more: I'd say each dish feeds about one person or maybe two if you eat less, but I was quite hungry and got through all of the butter chicken and rice along with one and a half orders of the naan. The pricing is on the expensive side for sure, but comparable to my favourite Indian food place I used to go to in my hometown. It's good food and you get what you pay for...don't expect McDonald's prices for meals that are 5x better quality than McDonald's. Would absolutely recommend these folks and I definitely see myself ordering here again....
Read moreWOW!!!!!!!! I went to this restaurant yesterday for dinner and I am completely blown away at how delicious and authentic the indian food was. I live pretty close by and when I saw the new signage (the royal tandoor) I was super excited to know a new restaurant was opening up. The staff were very friendly and courteous. The restaurant is clean, newly renovated I believe, it has a pleasant atmosphere. I had the butter chicken, naan, paneer, rice and my husband had the chicken tandoor, saag, samosas and naan. Oh my goodness, it was the best indian food I have had in Victoria. We're from Vancouver and we've been to numerous indian restaurants as I love indian food; however, I must say this restaurant by far is exceptionally delicious. The prices are reasonable and its safe to say this is my new official favourite indian restaurant in Victoria. A...
