New Royal India earns broad praise for flavorful staples such as samosas, garlic naan and butter chicken, along with friendly, helpful service, generous portions and reasonable prices, leading many to call it a hidden gem and the best Indian food in the west island; it is often described as a reliable takeout option with little wait, though a few dishes vary in quality and some items like the chicken tikka masala or naan may not meet all expectations, yet the overall impression is positive and many reviewers say they will return.
The food is well prepared & presented . All the dishes are delicious & the level of spice I chose ( medium ) was perfect . The menu is varied & the price is very reasonable . I've been 3 x & will keep returning , plus will recommend to friends

Everything is delicious & the service is unbeatable! The girl at the counter told us that my sister had never tasted Hindu food & brought us a spectacular fried onion appetizer, a good dinner for 3 people & we did not manage to finish it for 50 dlls we will repeat thanks!!
Best Indian place I've ever eaten at!! We fell on that gem by hazard one day & I have not been able to eat at another Indian restaurant ever since as they can't compare. It's a family restaurant, everything is fresh & cooked WITH LOVE & let's not forget that the portions are very generous at a very reasonable price! The owners are always friendly & super welcoming! It's a must, everyone needs to try this little gem 🤩
We went to Royal India for Dinner & ordered Shahi Thali & Royal Thali & must say food was amazing! Dal Makhani made in an authentic style made me feel like I am in India! Good portions for the price! Crispy Mushrooms were good too! Service was very warm & friendly. Overall an awesome experience & we will definitely go back to this place!
Hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. I have had the opportunity to try this restaurant on two separate gatherings with friends. First of all, the staff & the owners are super friendly & accommodating. They closed down the restaurant just for our group to celebrate a birthday. The food was beyond delicious especially their crispy mushrooms, fish pakoras, & butter chicken. I hate daal, but I went for a second bowl here. It's Indian home-style cooking & in my opinion top 5 Indian restaurant in the city. Also, it's a BYOW restaurant.
It was my first time ordering & it's pretty good. High rating for price, quantity, temperature & freshness but the chicken tikka masala is too salty, in my opinion. The overall flavour is nice but the saltiness overpowers the spices a bit. Perfect amount of heat to the dish though & the chicken is very tender. I can't comment on service or atmosphere, as I haven't dined in yet but the packaging & food held up nicely during delivery. I will likely be ordering again in the very near future to try a few other dishes. There is plenty of variety on the menu so I will have to explore it!
By far the best Indian food in all of Montreal. It's reasonably priced & I've never been disappointed by anything on the menu. The Chicken Tikka is spicy but subtle & warm & deliberate. The rice is fluffy & as perfect as Basmatti can ever be cooked. The samosas are mildly greasy which is my only small gripe but the flavor makes you forget all about the extra greese. 100% recommendation from this professional chef. The people that gave bad reviews wouldn't know good Indian food from frozen pizza. Many are laughable in fact. People have no idea what goes into running a restaurant & creating delicious food they just expect it to appear magically. This family knows great Indian food & they will share that with you. Ignore the keyboard warriors & soft core wannabe critics. Trust your taste buds & try this place.

First thing, is the place has VERY odd decoration. It's almost like they are set up to host a wedding, in 1987. Also, they have hard plastic covers on the tables. These covers are not properly flat, but rather quite bumpy, so you have to be careful when you put a glass down, otherwise it will tip over. We showed up on a Friday evening at around 6pm & the place was completely empty. Food: Some things were good, others were really not. The goat curry had nice flavour, but it was very watery. The tandori chicken was not right. Not sure what the issue was, but it wasn't like any other tandori chicken I've ever had (& I've been to India several times). Naan didn't appear to be "real" naan. Based on the tandori chicken & the naan, I'm guessing they don't actually have a tandor. Mango lassi was the worst I've ever tasted. Service: Staff were generally friendly, but had earphones in all the time, even when serving us. Spent the rest of the time on their phones & never came back to see how the food was.
Tried this new place that my friend recommended & I was really surprised. I never write reviews but this really deserves it because it's a under-rated restaurant! Must tryy
