Located in the heart of the Gaslamp district of down town San Diego, Royal India has a regal ambiance and the décor with carpeted flooring, huge and brightly lit chandeliers, splendid wall carvings and smart table settings give a sense of opulence and wealth. On pleasant days you could sit outside for an al fresco meal and yet experience an equally luxurious atmosphere.

A classic way to begin with would be fish tikka or sheek kababs or you could try the delicately spiced tandoori chicken. Amongst the curry dishes expect to see the likes of lamb korma, low fat cuts of lambs cooked in a creamy sauce, shahi butter chicken and lamb shanks. Vegetarians feel at home here, for a good choice of mushroom, eggplant, potato, spinach and cottage cheese dishes feature on the menu. Indian breads such as naan, roti and prantha team up well with the curry dishes.

Rus malai, kheer and a three layer chocolate cake are some delectable desserts that will keep you coming back to Royal India for more.
