Great food. Even better service. The owner, Jasminder, forewarned me about spicy lamb curry. He also took time out of his day to chat with us. I went ahead with it and I loved it. Will be back in the future.

We visited on a Sunday. My partner and I tried the lamb curry and samosas. Very good service and the food was excellent. They responded well to dietary restriction as well.

Find the gravy in a curry contest! I am sad that I have to write this. The food was salty, added too much colour, and no gravy or taste.

This is terrible please read everyone and spread this to save some people from this poisonous food We ordered lamb curry yesterday, it was so terrible they just added some pieces of lamb and added tomato puree and added lot of food colour which last in my hands almost one day. Just think if it last one day in my hand what about in your stomach. Forget about the taste we can cook far more better than what they served I request this restaurant guys please don't make money by putting public’s health in risk. I am adding few of those pictures for your reference.

I had lunch here with friends. We ordered garlic naan, butter chicken, and chicken biryani. The food was tasty but I think they scrimped on ingredients. I think they wanted their price point to be more affordable. Diced chicken were used in the biryani and butter chicken, instead of the usual cuts. Service was friendly and prompt since it was the owner who served us. Overall, it was just okay.

Absolutely delicious food! Got their vegetarian platter and loved the variety and value; we needed a takeaway container so we can finish the rest at home. I asked for mild and I got the perfect mild. The server (who I’m thinking is the owner based on other reviews) was very pleasant and our water was always topped up. I liked how quiet the atmosphere was, the music was just the right volume - personally I find some restaurant environments way too noisy and it ruins the dining experience but this wasn’t an issue here. 10/10 experience. :)

Four of us went here for the first time. There was only 1 other table of patrons. All of us really like Indian cuisine. We ordered samosas which were still cold on the inside. The salty lassi, garlic naan, butter chicken, and rice was tasty. Our party enjoyed the meal. The server was very attentive and friendly. We all said that we would come back.

November 22, 2024

I ordered takeout (walked in to order) a week or two ago. The food was okay, but the manager and the girl working there both made me feel really bad that I didn t have enough money to order the rice. I asked how much a side of rice was, which was $5.99, but I told the worker I couldn t afford it so I would only get the naan bread with my butter chicken. The manager came out and gave me some rice and told me this is why it s expensive, you ll see the taste and order next time, just see . It felt very passive aggressive and made me really uncomfortable. It s a shame that they do not understand that some people are on a budget and can t afford an extra $6, I never implied that they charged too much, I only said I couldn t afford it. Sadly it made me so uncomfortable that I just won t be going back here again. The food was okay but the butter chicken could have used more flavour, and I told them to make it spicy for me (which they said they could do) but it was not spicy at all.

We are here with six people. Each ordered a separate dish. The goat shahi korma was our favourite. They prepared special cheese naan at our request. The mango lassi is also worth mentioning. It s delicious. The food will take some time to prepare, but everything was clearly freshly prepared.

I recently visited Royal Tandoori after a year and was amazed that the owner still recognized me! The butter chicken was absolutely delicious, rich, and full of flavor. The warm and friendly service made the experience even better. It s rare to find such a welcoming atmosphere combined with top-notch food. Definitely my go-to spot for authentic Indian cuisine!

Jasminder, owner of this restaurant was very kind and accommodating. Everything we ordered was made from scratch so it took a little while for them to serve our food/drinks but they were all worth the wait. My 2 year old who has never tried chicken tandoori, loved it! Would surely come back to this restaurant the next time we visit the city! Mango lassi- too good that we ordered another one to go Chai tea - Butter chicken - Chicken tandoori - Dietary restrictions: Able to accommodate my onion allergy. Hard to find a place that is able to do that these days!

★★★★★

We ordered a couple curries and naan for takeout. Food was ready quickly and they were super friendly at pickup. The curry was very tasty but I wasnt a fan of the naan, it seemed thin and dusty for lack of a better word.

★★★★★
June 22, 2024

My favourite Indian food of all time. I started eating there over 10 years ago, and though I ve tried many other Indian restaurants, nothing beats royal tandoori. I just went back after close to 10 years (moved away), and it was just as good as I remember it.

★★★★★
June 22, 2024

This is the best Indian restaurant Ive had to date. I usually order a butter chicken, two plain rice (they use saffron rice which is BETTER), and a fish pakora. All items are made fresh, so it will take around 20-25 minutes for your food to be ready after ordering. If you are in a rush, call them and ask them to prepare the food before you get there. They are also conveniently located within walking distance from New West and Columbia SkyTrain Stations for transit users.

New Westminster is a treasure trove of good restaurants--Ki Sushi, Kozak bakery.... Today we found out Royal Tandoori is another beautiful jem to add to the pile. The food was absolutely delicious. They have stuck to their guns: real Indian food. The restaurant interior follows suit. Tired of the same American 90s tunes playing that were terrible the first time? Me too. This place plays beautiful Indian music. I highly recommend it.

I ordered the chefs special - which is said to be good for one person, there was sooo much food! I had some for lunch and then saves the rest for dinner at work. It gave you sample of mutter chicken, the chickpea curry, mixed veggies, pakoras, samosa. Everything was delicious I ordered medium heat and it was perfect. I wouldnt mind it a little more spicy next time but thats barely a gripe. I dont live in the area but I really feel like I made a good choice for lunch (and dinner) Ill have to come back again and try some other curries!

This is our neighbourhood Indian place. We regularly order takeout. While we order different curries now and then I always make sure we have chicken biryani in the order. My only critique is that the fish dishes can be too salty sometimes. Otherwise, very flavorful dishes. Take out orders usually ready in 40 minutes.

Tried Royal Tandori last week due to it having some solid ratings. When I arrived at the restaurant I was the only customer there, so maybe I should have taken that as a sign. I tried the butter chicken with rice and garlic naan which came to almost 28 dollars!! Butter Chicken was overly thick and had a bit of an over bearing flavour in it. Could have been excess Masala? Chicken chunks in butter chicken were also very very tiny and left a lot to be desired. The best thing I ate was the rice and that s saying something. The owner however was very nice and provided excellent customer service, but unfortunately based on the price and the quality of the food I cannot justify visiting this establishment again.

Beautiful little locally owned restaurant with traditional rather than modern chic decor (which I personally enjoy as everywhere tends to be more modern these days). We arrived for lunch and were greeted within seconds by the owner himself who is very pleasant. The service was prompt and courteous. The food was delicious, we had butter chicken, rice, naan and tandoori chicken at medium spice level. The flavours were delicious, the spice level was perfect and the naan was quite possibly the best I have ever had. will gladly return and highly recommend.

We looked for a restaurant near our Air B&b and chose Royal Tandoori based on the consistently positive reviews. We were greeted with a wave from the kitchen and then by a very friendly waitress. Even the boss personally welcomed us and gave us advice on our food choices. Now to the most important part, the food itself: we both enjoyed it incredibly well. We had two starters, two different main courses and side dishes of roti, naan and rice. Aside from the excellent taste, the quantity was more than enough and everything looked appetizing. If you dont like the simple atmosphere, you can also order and have it delivered free of charge. We felt very comfortable there and would come back at any time! Vegetarian options: There was a very large selection of vegetarian dishes. Both starters and the main course were incredibly tasty. Kid-friendliness: We had our 8-month-old son with us, who was treated very kindly and courteously. We were immediately brought a high chair and offered a childrens plate.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this place and I cant stop raving about their butter chicken dish. Its a culinary masterpiece that deserves a solid 5 stars. The freshness of the food was truly exceptional. Every bite of the tender chicken was a burst of flavor, and the creamy tomato-based sauce was perfectly balanced. But thats not all - the naan bread and rice that accompanied the butter chicken were a perfect match. The naan was warm, soft, and slightly crispy, just as it should be, and the fragrant basmati rice was fluffy and aromatic. The experience was elevated not only by the exquisite food but also by the outstanding customer service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the cuisine they served. They made dining here a delightful experience from start to finish. If youre looking for a place where fresh, flavorful food meets impeccable service, this is the place to be. Their butter chicken is a must-try, and I cant wait to return to savor more of their delectable dishes. This restaurant has earned its 5-star reputation, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience.

I took a Veg. Biryani (which is supposedly a popular item of this place)pickup at this place recently. Giving 1* because: 1) Found 2 long human hair in the Food. Picture attached. 2) Biryani portion size. Pretty less as per price. 3) Doesnt come even with the basic Biryani sides. Raita or Salad. Forget Salan. 4) Below average taste. As claimed by the owner they have an experience of 24 yrs. Nothing looked like that. Not even in the tone and tenor of the person I connected to. Very Disappointing.

Worst food. Samosas seems like they were fried 3 times and they told us we make everything fresh that is why it take time. Everything is so overpriced. Tiny cup of tea costs like 6 dollar and 5 dollar for tiny samosa. Never gonna go there again.

December 22, 2023

Ordered samosas and they were barely looking like actual authentic samosas. Very less filling in them and cost was double from what we pay in surrey. Secondly, charged $5 for one (extra small) cup of tea which is ridiculous. No customer service, no quantity for that price. Worst ever experience of indian food.
