Plenty has been written about the great food RIK serves. But I wanted to specifically review a couple of their specialties - Jaleebees and Matri. The Jaleebees are unquestionably the best that I've had. Fresh, crisp, drenched in syrup (but not soggy), with a hint of spice. I say 'spice' because I don't know exactly what it is (I don't wanna know - the intrigue adds to the experience), but it is infinitely subtle and flavorful. I pick up a LARGE tray of these goodies ever so often to feed my sugar cravings. I'll never go back to the mass-produced, store-bought stuff again.
Now for the Matri. The kitchen doesn't advertise it much. But Ranveer gave me a complimentary box of this snack (unmistakable Punjabi hospitality, as always) and now... I can't stay away from it. For those that are not familiar with Matri, it is a crisp, exquisitely crunchy, kinda buttery, lightly salted, deep-fried snack that you gorge on with coffee/tea. Try it. You'll thank yourself. It resembles (visually) the store-bought Para but that's where the resemblance ends. These are vastly superior. I order a small tray each time I visit...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe used Royal Indian Kitchen to cater for my graduation party. The event for set for the afternoon. Ranveer and his team arrived ahead of time to set up for the event and were completely ready before the guests arrived. They made fresh samosas and aloo tikki at the venue for the chaat. Samosas are a must have; they are second to none. The chaat was delightful. We also had a platter of freshly prepared grilled chicken and paneer come out of the tandoor and it was super delicious. The mango lassi served as a great accompaniment for the appetizers. The fresh hot naan was delicious and went well with the main courses. Overall the food was a solid 5 star.
The service Ranveer and his team provided was beyond excellent. The team is hardworking and knowledgeable; very professional and very approachable. The entire process of booking the catering for the day; discussing the menu; tasting the samples was overall very smooth. Ranveer was very responsive to all inquiries and gave us the comfort and confidence for a successful event. Iād highly recommend Royal India Kitchen for their delicious food preparation,...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreA friend of mine tried Mike and Lennyās pizza which is located in the same building in Walpole. He said that when he went to go pick up the pizza he had to walk by the Royal Indian Kitchen and that it smelled so good. I tried it for the first time tonight and I can confirm that it tastes as good as it smells. I just got the basics with some chicken tikka masala, some Aloo Tikki, and some onion naan. Everything was delicious. The medium tiki masala was the perfect level of spice for me, and that mightāve been the best naan Iāve ever had. The food was fresh, fragrant, and perfectly spiced. The staff was very nice to my children when we went to go pick up the food. Iāll be...
