A nice surprise to find an Indian restaurant in Campbell. We were visiting a friend in the area and decided to give it a try. We were given a papadum as an appetizer, fun texture with green sauce and sweet tamarind sauce. We ordered a vegetable pakora, it had more bread (reminded me of a vada) but it was fine since it was crispy. We ordered chicken tikka masala, great sauce with not dry chicken. We ordered garlic naan and something new to us a kabuli naan, a sweet naan with raisins, mango chutney and coconut bits to dip the sauces.

We ended up ordering Paneer Tikka Kabab, Saag Paneer, Tandoori Chicken (full) , Kabuli Naan (tasted amazing and fantastic) , Garlic Naan, Chicken Makhanwala and Chicken Biryani along with some Raita.

Tandoori items were definitely tasty and had that undertone of what authentic tandoor would taste. The spices and marination was just perfect and we loved every bit of these. Followed that with the Garlic Naan and Saag paneer along with bites of the biryani with Rait and that quite summed up an amazing dinner.
Would definitely drive down some day over to Royal Taj and plan for a...
Read moreExcellent Northern Indian food in San Jose/Campbell.
Everything was freshly made and delicious. This was our first time here. I seriously urge you to ignore an earlier negative review by someone who seems to have gone to another restaurant or was just being malicious out of spite to cause trouble and obviously has a bad relationship with the truth.
We had ...mango laasi, chai, Papadaam, garlic Naan bread, deep fried vegetable Pakoras, bastami rice, yogurt Raita, Tandoori Murgh Chicken, Eggplant and... peas Baingain bharta which I asked for it very mild, shrimp vindaloo which I asked for it very mild as I don't like very spicy food I always put some tamarind chutney over some raita on my plate and eat that with the bharta and garlic naan alternating with the...
