Best Indian

The lunch buffet here has long been hailed by thrifty gourmets in need of a fix of fenugreek or the kick of cumin. At dinner the patronage is just as eclectic and passionate. Just reading the menu provides all kinds of sensory stimulation. Aloo tikki, paneer pakora, gosht vindaloo, bhindi masala—each beautiful name whispers of ancient perfume.

Indian Vegetarian

Royal Taj’s $7.95 lunch buffet is a draw as is the varied dinner menu. Look for dishes like lamb curry, tandoori meats and bengan bharta, eggplant baked and cooked with onions, tomatoes and peas. Wide range of Indian flatbreads, too.

This is lunch done right. The servings are the right size, because you get to create them yourself. Go me! Also, lunch shouldn't cost more than $8, and that's exactly what it costs for the lunch buffet at Royal Taj. It's like they read our minds...
