Royal India Palace

This is the place to go to for amazing Indian food especially the buffet, you get to try everything for an amazing price. The food is very flavorful and the staff is delightful, and they take care of you. Come here hungry, and go home happy!

My favorite Indian spot in queens so far! Everything is great. Definitely get the chicken tikka masala with alot of naan. Curry fish is great as well I can go on and on. Will not be disappointed.

We dinned here on the eve on my friends birthday. We ordered Hot Sour chicken soup and chicken Tandoori both tasted awesome. Then we ordered Chicken Biryani the flavor and quality of Biryani was completely upset the chicken was not cooked well and rice even. We started with good mood but ended up with upset.

Ordered food for here a couple of times and everytime I get SO DISAPPOINTED that the food does not come with rice… And for rice they charge way too much! It ruins my meal and experience a lot. So I will not order for here anymore, I would rather find a place where I get rice with my food. However The food has been good both times but I request ed to get mild spice levelness and my food was everything but mild! SPICY!

I don’t normally write bad reviews but I ordered food here, 2hrs later I was still waiting. I rang restaurant a couple of times to see where it was. After waiting so long I had pretty much lost my appetite for it. I completely lost my appetite when the delivery guy rang me and said I had to go down to the street to pick it up cos he didn’t want to find a parking space!
I will never order from here again.

Food was ok, had similar Indian food before… service sucked, our waiter kept forgetting to bring the drink we ordered and as soon as a larger party came in, he kept all his attention towards them, very poor manners, he didn’t even foil to wrap our food and we had to ask him about three times to bring a bag, plus he took forever to come bring the check.

Today we ordered food from here, we were very excited to have found an Indian place that delivered close by since we are new to the area
We ordered food at 9 and the food didn’t come until 2 hours later at 11! I understand places can be busy but 2 hours is a bit much
When we finally got the food our drink has spilled in the bag and our food was soaked! All the deliver guy said was when you order next time we will give you a free drink… and I’ll leave it at that.

Very good and authentic Indian food for a modest price! Can’t ask for more. I’m always a bit picky when I eat Indian food since I lived in India for several Months. This place definitely gets my approval!

We’ve never dined here but we order for delivery several times a month. Their dishes are very authentic and quite delicious. I can’t think of a dish that we didn’t enjoy. There chicken tikka masala, goat curry and briyani’s both goat and chicken were very good and my favorite dessert rasmalai is an absolute must try

DELICIOUS!
Through GrubHub, I ordered Chicken Malai Kabab, Aloo Gobhi, Chicken Tikki, and Vegetable Samosas. While it did take an hour to get here (which was the promised time, to be fair) the food was terrific.
The chicken was not at all fatty. The aloo gobi was just spicy enough and not too oily. The samosas were quite good as well — not the greatest but certainly more than good enough.
I’ve had a lot of disappointing Chicken Malai lately, even from places that used to be reliable. This was a most welcome improvement.
I will definitely order from here again. I hope it’s as good as it was this time.

I always eat here, mostly the lunch buffet, because you can have meat and some vegetables and desert. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes not that good. For take out I have always ordered butter chicken. Last week I decided to order paneer makhani (buttered cubed cheese). Today I ordered chicken tikka masala and I came to realize that its the same gravy they use. All they do is drop the cooked chicken or cubed cheese in it. The chicken tasted old. Blah. Entrees do NOT come with sides. No rice no naan, thats extra!

I’ve only done takeout her through grub hub. Giant portions and from a fellow Indian, it’s pretty legit. My only compliant is that I ask for lemon All the time and never get it. The food is terrific. Shrimp briyani is outstanding. Not sure what an In house experience would be like but takeout is a home run.

Very good service! Even better food! Yummy :-) The only downside I have is that I like more lighting. I don’t like eating in dim lighting

I love this place. When I lived in Ozone park I was a regular here. Sam, the host is delightful and always very accommodating. Whenever I’ve been here it’s been packed so I guess I’m not their only fan. They have a salmon dish that comes out on a sizzling platter that is to die for. The Chicken Mekhani (butter chicken) always good and Omg, the lamb chops, perfect, melt in your mouth! The curry is delish, I’ve had lamb and chicken and was very pleased. The chicken tikka Masala is also very tasty. I plan on going back when I get the chance. My husband and I really like this place and can’t wait to see our friend Sam (a really cool guy!)

I was at my friend’s house and she orders take-​out from here so yeah sure, why not. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to so she sorta ordered for me. (so I don’t actually remember the name of the dish) It was a rice dish with chicken. First thoughts, spicy! Indian spicy, so there’s a lot of kick in this dish. It slowly builds up in the back of your mouth. There was a nice ratio of rice to chicken. It was slightly annoying to pick out the spices you couldn’t eat. This dish made me very full and took me like 3 days to actually finish it.
I think it’s a good take-​out place. I can’t judge the actual restaurant or service.

This place changes cooks faster than I change underwear
sometimes the food is fantastic sometimes it sucks
they are over priced
portions are large but stretched (did you really fill up half an order of chicken tikka masala with bell peppers julienned ginger and herbs? how about more sauce and meat ?)
6 dollars for plain rice? and a million years wait if you want naan? I can do without … if you don’t care for ambiance but you want amazing indian food in this neighborhood look up GOLDEN PUNJAB on Unilocal !

Ordered through
. It’s a bit far from where we live, so there’s a 45 – 75 minute wait around dinner — and given they deliver by car they might request you meet them on the street as opposed to delivering to your door (so they won’t get a ticket).
Still, despite the inconvenience, and having some decent Indian on Queens Blvd (Haveli) we keep coming back to this place for the delicious food, which is worth the wait.
The ‘Indian Chinese’ we ordered tasted a little more Chinese than Indian compared to other ‘Indo-​Chinese fusion’ merchants we’ve frequented. However, the Northern Indian dishes — Vindaloo, Jal Frezhi, Aloo Gobi, Baigan Bhartha — were all absolutely scrumptious.
Note: the entrees do NOT come with rice. They offer standard basmati but I personally prefer the peas pulao as an accompaniment. The entrees themselves are fairly large — we typically get two entrees, a side of rice, a pakora appetizer and bread, and have enough left over to last for a few more meals.
I’m hoping to visit the restaurant in person someday.

Ordered delivery via grubhub from them. It took about an hour and 15 but that was what grubhub told me as well so no biggie. The food is amazing! Lots of veg options-​no rice but the naan was really great. I’ve ordered delivery from a different Indian place in Kew gardens-​mehak and asked for the veg and non veg options to be labeled because there was both vegetarians and non vegetarians eating– they didn’t and were really rude about it. Royal India palace labeled everything! Will DEFINITELY order from them again.

I ordered through
. I ordered lamb curry, potato naan, and a mango lassi. Everything was pretty good except it was all only warm including the mango lassi when it arrived. I didn’t know that the dishes didn’t come with rice, so that was a little annoying, but I guess that’s my fault. Every other Indian restaurant that I order from includes rice with the entrees. I mean a $ 12.00 entrée without rice included is a little silly.

Richmond Hill is one of the larger Indian/​West Indian areas of Queens but it is so far out that I generally don’t venture there with food. A few months ago I did and went to a terrible restaurant so I was wary about going again. However this place was very pleasant, friendly and the food was actually pretty decent.
To begin this place is actually a restaurant and a large banquet hall; the door farthest from the street corner is the door to the restaurant with the awning that states that while the other two doors lead to the banquet hall. The restaurant itself is pretty large and offers adequate seating for small and large groups. The décor is a little strange… with mural across them…
Generally the people who eat there will be locals coming in for a party or some dinner so expect a mainly Indian/​Shiekh crowd.
The food itself was decent;
Mixed Tandoori Grill — an assortment of four kinds of meat which were cooked till tender and not dry or burnt; they have other dishes on the tandoori which looked great also, such as the lamb.
Naan — Soft and a little chewy; not dry or burnt which is the way it should be
Malai Kofta — The sauce for this dish was awesome but the Kofta was a little heavier than I expected and a bit too dense for the sauce
Chicken Korma — Really delicious chicken korma with tender bits of chicken in a creamy and slightly sweet sauce, excellent.
Overall I would have to say as a local establishment this place is worth going to however given the choice I believe that Jackson Heights has a better assortment of Indian restaurants that will not let you down.
