Royal Junction — Restaurant in Ellensburg

Visited this cold depressing place last weekend and this place is downright dangerous for your health. From the get go, service was bad, female waiter was hardly attending to us. We ordered two appetizers and 2 chais (from the menu). She served us cold Chai and asked us if we wanted straws. Being raised in india, we obviously were surprised, why straw !!. Then it took a completely wrong turn. The server left us alone and there was no one on the floor who will warm our cold tea up or give us new cups of warm tea. We took our first sip and that tea was sour. We were socked ! The tea was rotten and stale. A male server showed up, we told him that the tea us cold and sour. He said, "We have no tea today". I said, " we have bee served tea and it is sour". He said, " Oh ! Thats yesterday's tea. We made no tea today, only lassi". I told him that we were not informed that, and our order was taken and tea was served. I immediately went to restroom and had to rinse off my mouth. I had ingested some old rotten sour dairy and I was not feeling well anymore. The appetizers never came to our table and once gain there was no one on the floor. At an indian restaurant, we were served rotten chai and we left without any food. It is so shameful, as a guest, even to recognize that we visited such an awful restaurant that violates basic publichealth code for a restaurant's food safety. This is a clear indication that this place has no control over their food quality and safety, they take no responsibility for their mistake either. Apparently, the chef is Nepalese and was in Europe before working at that restarant. I think he just does not care how the restaurant is run. Whoever is the owner should be warned and ashamed of how they treat their guest and...

TLDR: Great food, great date night

This place is awesome. I will be back. I came here to try it with not very high expectations, but was delighted by the exceptional flavor.

I had the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and the gobi manchurian. The gobi manchurian was crispy on the outside and covered with a tangy sweet sauce. The tikka masala was rich with very tender chicken and just a hint of spice (I asked for medium). The garlic naan was crispy but somehow also fluffy. It was different from other naan I have had in the past. The food came out quickly, was hot, and tasted delicious.

The restaurant space is really cool. The business is, according to our server, very new and throughout looked professional and clean

Ambience was briefly awkward when we arrived, due to there being a limited staff and no music or anything playing. We were the only customers at the time. but after we sat down. Music was put on and the atmosphere became pretty chill.

It was a little pricey to be my regular spot. We paid 85$ for two entrees, two orders of naan, and the gobi manchurian. However the quality was well worth the price, especially as a date night...

We had to ask for knives which was strange. Additionally, they didn't have any sodas and were supposedly sold out of other items despite being the only patrons in the restaurant. Their only avaliable beverage the masala tea, had good flavor however it came out barely warm and was cold by the time the food got there. You would expect while being the only patrons in the restaurant that the service would be as good as possible however the server just sat across the room on her phone the whole time and we had to ask her more than once to bus plates because we had literally no room on the table. The food itself was OK although the Naan was below average and came out significantly later than our entrees. Edit: thank you for the response! Totally not necessary we just hope that other folks will have a better experience...
