Royal India Bistro

Nice cozy place to dine at. Felt like more being in France where there are tables for 2 and 4 and people like to be in a corner or facing street. Being vegetarian ordered paneer and daal which was satisfactory. Dal was better tasting to authentic unlike paneer. They serve papads and dips or chutneys which was good to start with. Service was good by the staff. As the place is small the area for kitchen as seen was bit clumsy and not well maintained. They have to work on it to keep clean as it was visible when walking towards wash area.

The food is excellent. Very good blend of spices and flavors. The service was very slow due to their robust takeout business. The restaurant itself is too hectic and claustrophobic. It was not a relaxing dining experience on a Saturday evening. I'll go back, but for takeout only!

Ignore the bad reviews, this place is fantastic in every aspect. The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service are all a step above any other Indian restaurant that I have been to. Been a patron for many years now and my only regret is that I moved an hour away. But the drive doesn’t matter when the food is that good. Don’t change a thing!

Met a group of friends for dinner. They quickly put tables together to accommodate our party of 6. Servicers checked in periodically, but we did not feel rushed. There is a full bar available. When the server brought the bill she made a point of letting us know that the tip was included in the total, which was appreciated.

Visited Salem for the weekend and was looking for Indian food on the way home and saw that this place was highly rated in Lexington. We have some family friends in Lexington and always had dinner at their homes, so this was a first! We ordered some tasty classics: GARLIC NAAN Unleavened white bread with garlic. Oh my gosh if you love garlic and bread then this is for you! Naan is typically teardrop-shaped, bread made from ghee and buttermilk kneaded into dough which is then baked in a tandoor (traditional Indian clay oven). It has that slight char and lightly baked texture to it. It's quite light and very easy to stuff your face with. A better version of pita bread, if you will. Got a great, buttery bite to it. ONIONS NAAN Unleavened white bread stuffed with onions. If you're an onion fan THIS is for you! Finely minced onions were kneaded into this dough and it was delicious. I was worried the onion flavor would be too overwhelming to enjoy, but nope this was light and super flavorful. Loved spooning some biryani and chutney on this. Made every bite so freaking phenomenal. POORI Crispy, deep fried puffy bread. This was so interesting because of its appearance, but the taste was interestingly doughy and almost nutty. The first bite was crispy and it gets a little chewier as you chew, but I spooned some biryani and masala on my pieces and it was delicious! Definitely a vehicle for chutneys, sauces, curry, and rice. Really light and tasty. PLAIN DOSA Enormous thin crepe made with rice and lentils, served with coconut chutney and sambhar. The dosa was crispy and crepe-like, very thin so it was pretty thin and easy to break into shareable sizes for everyone at the table. This is a very popular street food in India, famous for its simple ingredients and savory flavor. I can see why! You can have it with anything, we were served coconut chutney which was so creamy and flavorful to spoon onto and enjoy with. Sambhar also came with it which was really, really tasty; a South Indian stew made with lentils, mixed veggies, tamarind, gerbs, spices and the special spice powder of Sambar. So freaking tasty for just a couple of sides! SHRIMP BIRYANI Basmati rice cooked with shrimp, seasoned with fresh ground spices, toasted cashews and raisins. The basmati rice was cooked to al dente perfection and had the perfect bite. The shrimp was nice and tender, but a little salty for my taste. The fresh ground spices made every bite in your mouth sooo wonderful. Loved the addition of toasted cashews and raisins, gave every bite a little added nuttiness and sweetness. What a tasty dish, wish it wasn't too salty. CHICKEN CHILI MASALA (HOT) Boneless tandoori chicken cooked with green chili, onions, peppers and spices. When they said hot spice level, they were not kidding. It was so yummy. The spice level had us sweating a little and that's saying something. It was divine, the chicken was moist and juicy, but the SPICES just made it amazing. Loved this dish so much! CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA (HOT) Boneless diced chicken tandoori cooked in a creamy tomato sauce. The chicken was cooked to perfection, nice and moist, but again this dish was just a little too salty for my taste. Other than that, the spices, the flavors, everything was so on point. The service here was so friendly and fast. They answered all our questions about the various different items on the menu to choose from and what they recommended. I might come back here if I'm in the Lexington area, but I definitely would probably say something about the saltiness for my own peace of mind. Again, they were so nice and the vibes were so chill in here.

I had a great time at Royal Indian Bistro. The food was very tasty and fresh. Our waitress Sri was very kind and helpful. I really enjoyed my visit and will come back again!

Tasty Indian food at a great price! My husband and I dropped by on a Friday evening. We waited about 10 minutes for a table. Because the restaurant is on the smaller side, we waited outside for them to give us a call. We got some papadams and sauces as appetizers, which was nice. For our meal, we ordered 3 dishes and a naan: $14.95 palak paneer, $17.95 lamb tikka masala, $16.95 Goa fish curry (they swapped out shrimp for fish), and $5.95 cheese naan. Each entree comes with basmati rice, which they bring out combined in a rice bowl. The cheese naan was great. The Goa fish curry was unique and tasty. The palak paneer was a bit bland (and healthy, likely), as it was largely sautéed spinach with cubes of paneer. I’m used to saag paneer that has more cream, more salt, and cubes of fried paneer. The lamb tikka masala was sweeter than I’m used to, and my husband adored the dish. Great service, especially with how busy this place is with both dine in and takeout. Card accepted. I would return!

Food is phenomenal and the staff is so nice! We love coming here for our favorite indian dishes. Weve since moved but still drive the hour drive just to eat our favorite indian dishes when we have a craving. I highly recommend the chicken biryani, chicken korma and butter chicken. Can't wait to try more next visit 😄

Still slaps. No doubt this is the best Indian in the area. Don't even try to claim otherwise. In all seriousness I've missed this place dearly since moving away a few years ago. Always make sure to stop by or get takeout when I'm in town with family.

I was in Lexington and decided to stop by this small Indian Bistro. The restaurant is off a main road and is tucked away, kinda hard to find unless you have directions. The parking is on street parking, and may be difficult to find one. The outside of the restaurant is cute and the inside is small and quaint. I was greeted by the sever and seated. We had Chicken Tikka masala, rice and garlic Naan. This was the best Chicken Tikka I ever had, savory and fresh. The Naan was good, could have been better. If you're in the area, eat here.

Best desi restaurant ever. The owners and servers are so friendly and kind to every guest who comes in. And the food is absolutely delicious. Great, authentic, high quality Punjabi food from a Punjabi family who knows what they're doing. Love the chill vibes inside the space as well - simple, cozy, and clean. Both my mom and I absolutely love this place. Highly recommend!

This is our go-to spot. We love it so much. Absolutely everything is delicious. The tikka masala is divine but I highly encourage trying other dishes! There are so many delicious, moist, amazing dishes to try. It's a small location and gets busy but we always get super high quality, fresh, steaming dishes. We do take out for both lunch and dinner. We order for special occasions, including a birthday & cancer anniversary and everyone was extremely happy. Everything is so fresh. They are great about customizing spice levels as well. We have a mix of spicy lovers and mild lovers and there are always lots of options for everyone.

My husband and I LOVE the Royal Indian Bistro! We would eat here every week if we could. I love the Saag Paneer, he loves the chicken masala, and we both love the samosas. The mint chutney is always fresh and delicious, too!

Shrimp GOA was amazing. Chutney free appetizer was impressive. The shrimp was plump and juicy and cooked just right. And rice is rice but it also had an especially nice texture. But Indian food is about the sauce and it was so creamy and complex and delicious. Best Indian I've had in Boston. I spent 13 dollars. Seems people know. Very busy at noon on a Tuesday.

Best Indian food in the area! Really love the ambiance - super cute and cozy when you dine in with great service

Food and service here is very good. It's a small restaurant but clean. We ordered meat samosas, lamb biriyani, and lamb vindaloo with a side of garlic Naan, mango Lassi and Rupee beer. Everything was delicious. They can adjust the spice level to your liking. Parking is street metered and also paid lots for a quick walk less than 5 mins.

You need to not put plastic in food. Super irresponsible. This was disgusting and ruined my appetite. Get it together.

Amazing food, friendly efficient staff, cozy atmosphere. Great takeout as takeout as well. Literally the best garlic naan ive ever had. The most flavorful and delicious chicken chili masala. I had never eaten here before and then I ended up here twice in one week!!

Lunch crowd builds quickly at this popular Lexington town restaurant. Tables filled with queue by noon. Special Thali lunch $13 comes with choice of 3 of 4 dishes: chicken tikkila, lentils, cheese cubes and vegetables. Ok. Other lunch special $9-$10 comes with small side of choice of meat (lamb, chicken).

The food, presentation and service is always on point here. The ambiance is nice and cozy. The owners are super friendly and always go out of their way to accommodate dietary restrictions. Even the staff is very friendly and helpful. We love everything on their menu, it is so hard to pick favorites. Their Dal makhani and malai kofta are great and so is the Poori Chole. Their lamb chops are delicious and so are the paneer tikka. We have also had food catered on multiple occasions and it has always been a great experience. This past summer they catered a big event for us and it went seamlessly. They went out of their way to make sure everything was well set up and all our guests are still talking about the food. Cannot recommend enough!!!!!!!

Very small hole in the wall... honestly in every expect fast or attentive service at an India restaurant. And they did not disappoint!;) I got chicken Tika and naan with a chai tea. And shared a mixed veggie app with my guest. The food was very good and had just enough spice to make my mouth water. My partner got the butter chicken and said she loved it. The food was very good here but would probably get take out next time.

Spicy! Spicy! Indian restaurant! Finally! My bf and I decided to dine in on Sunday night since we were in town for the day. The restaurant is cozy with a few tables for small groups. They have a huge menu to choose from and some dishes already come hot and others you can request spicy. We decided on the shared bread basket because it came with onion naan, regular naan and a different puffy bread. All of which were super yummy! We finally decided on getting a biryani dish because we never do and picked lamb. We also got the lamb vindaloo and a chick pea dish. The service was amazing! It was a hot day and it was nice having our cups of water refilled constantly! The food came out nice and hot and they even had mini cute heat trays to keep our food nice and warm throughout our entire meal. The food was delicious! And we ordered most dishes spicy and they really were! We will definitely come back again!

Royal India Bistro has some of the best Indian food in the area. I was with a big group and we ordered a bunch of various appetizers and entrees for takeout. We ordered online and came to pick up the order, which was ready within a reasonable timespan. While we didn't dine in, I was impressed by the interior when we came to pick up the food. In terms of the food, absolutely everything was delicious! I personally ordered the Lamb Vindaloo, which had the perfect level of heat. I also tried the naan and some of the appetizers, which were all very tasty! My only recommendation would be for the restaurant staff to label the takeaway containers, to make it easier to for customers to know which dishes are which. I hope to dine here in person sometime soon.

While biking on the minutemen trail and crossing through Lexington , an amazing Indian food smell was blasting. We were hungry and decided to stop. The place is small, cozy and well decorated. Service was fast. We started with vegetable pakoras and aloo tikki, both fresh and delicious ! We then had the lunch special, a choice of 3 dishes (chicken tikka masala, Dal Makhani and Aloo Ghobi) , naan and rice! It was perfect to have little taste of 3 different dishes! Definitely will come back!

This place was great and lived up to our expectations based on previous reviews. The staff were friendly and attentive, the food was great (chicken korma and butter chicken w/ garlic and cheese naan). We went for a late lunch so it wasn't overly busy but I appreciate that our two young children were seated in a nook away from other diners to the extent it was possible. We'll definitely be going back.

You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation! You've got a brand new soul. Mmm, and a cross of gold. But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information!... It's casual dining on royal food... On a journey Paul Revere would be proud of...Royal India/Bharat Bistro delighted us w. "Butter Chicken", moist in a velvet unctuous sauce, "Lamb Saag" the Irish would say "Sláinte" and all... finished with "Kashmiri Naan" w. cherries and pistachios....Yes, wicked mon..:) Come out, come out, come out! Virginia don't let me wait! You Catholic girls start much too late! Sooner or later it comes down to fate. I might as well will be the one... You know that only the good die young! Best, Avram Sam Adams Jr.

yummy food, many menu options, consistently yummy, mid ambience if you sit there so better for takeout

In used to love this place. I don't know if they have a new owner or what. The menu changed and the food isn't nearly as good. Every single thing we normally order isn't good anymore.

Had their Baigan Bhartha after a long time, it was arill amazing. This is definitely their signature dish. Their channa and dal makhani were also excellent. The bread in the bread basket was good, too. Food was brought out quickly, and service was attentive, too.

Absolute five stars! Was expecting a lot based on the other reviews and they delivered. The chicken tikka masala was so flavorful as was the malai kofta. I was so excited to see dosas on the menu. The dosa masala was fantastic with so much filling. I love that they place the dishes over an open flame to keep hot. Five star service. Was so happy with this meal. Definitely stop in.

After some lean times a few years ago, this place has become our go-to bistro for Indian food. Just having mixed pickles on their menu tells you how serious they are about being authentic.

Food was very good and affordable. We ate in the restaurant. Staff was very attentive and efficient. The restaurant is small, but still comfortable. Have not tried take out.

Its not like I remember it back in 2016. The food was good but the rice was a bit pasty. I'll tell you what though, that chutney they have is phenomenal. I can just eat that all day. It's a cute little restaurant which serves liquor. I ordered this spiked lemonade, it has ammeretro in it which is weird and makes it taste nothing lemonade like. So I asked for another one with out the ammeretro and pretty much got lemonade flavor mix. It's supposed to also have vodka. I sat for 20 minutes before anyone came to our table despite there being so many people standing behind the counter. I do like that they work as a team though, but the service can be slow. But as much as that was nice to see it was also what hinders them. I asked for more chutney and didn't get it till after my meal because no one brought it out thinking someone else did. If the person that took the order brought it out I think it would have been less confusing. The price is decent, it's a good serving/portion. It's a great atmosphere. There's a parking lot on the side.

Great discovery in Lexington. Cosy dining space. Chicken tandoori was excellent- the meat was juicy, flavorful, fresh, served in a hot plate on a bed of onions and green peppers. The makhani sauce on the side, basmati rice and condiments rounded out the meal. I also ordered a side of papad and mango chutney, and finished the meal off with a steaming, frothy cup of hot masala chai.

This place is overall pretty good. The naan is delicious and the butter chicken was good. But I thought the superstar was the samosas. There is something about that crust that is so delightful. Not my favorite Indian, but for a quick drive, it'll do!

Food was great! Took a little longer than promised for the order to be done, but worth the wait. Was packaged diligently - will be back !

Great food and extensive options make this an incredible experience - highly recommended.

DELICIOUS! So yummy, the mango lassi is to die for. Flavorful and good portions! Definitely recommend the lunch specials but don't forget to mention that you want the lunch special instead of the regular portion.

Lovely little Indian spot in Lexington! Very comfy cozy vibes, friendly service and yummy food! I had the chicken chili masala, which was not really spicy at all but just sweet and good. Excellent garlic naan too! Not the greatest Indian food ever but i was very pleasantly surprised and the overall dining experience was really nice.

Great staff and service. Love the owners always super friendly. The vibe is great as they just revamped some of the designs to really showcase the restaurant. Love the Butter Chicken and Paneer is great. Always love to come back.

The best chicken tikka masala ever! Buttery and just so satisfying. Make sure to pair it with the Kashmir naan which is sweet and coconutty - I've never had anything like it. Servers were quick and attentive, there is street metered parking out front. Expect a bit of a wait because this place is popular :)

I used to love this place and raved about it to anyone looking for good Indian food so I was disappointed the last time I came. I'm not sure if the owner or chef changed but the food had a lot of oil in every dish. I'm giving 3 stars because my previous times eating here was so wonderful.

This place rocks!! Amazing quality and blend of spices to order. I've tried many ( I mean a lot!) of Indian restaurants from coast to coast but yet when I'm around Boston/ Lexington area I make a bee line to Royal. I've tried a bunch of different dishes and walk away with a big Ole smile and a full belly! Breads, appetizers, main course .. outstanding! And I'm a finicky pain in ass customer... but not here. Enjoy

My friends and I arrived on Saturday right about when the restaurant opened and was seated promptly. I ordered the chicken tikka masala (lunch portion), and we shared a small bread basket, which included naan, garlic naan, and poori. The lunch portion looked small but was a perfect portion as I was not too hungry. The chicken tikka masala was creamy and yummy, nothing to really complain about. It had a decent portion of chicken pieces despite the small pan size. I really enjoyed the bread basket and how it had a variety of bread to eat. I most enjoyed the garlic naan and felt that the poori was a bit too heavy to eat in the morning. I tried a bit of my friends' curry and found that the lamb vindaloo was hot as warned on the menu, and the chicken korma was not bad, but I still preferred the chicken tikka masala overall. The server we initially had in the beginning was friendly and great. Although once the restaurant got busier, we were confronted by another server who seemed to really want to kick us out, which lowered my initial positive impression of this restaurant. We left the restaurant feeling quite full, so it was an overall enjoyable experience.

My favorite Indian restaurant. The samosas are perfectly crispy and bursting with flavor and the Chicken Tikka Masala is about as great as that dish can get, except for maybe a restaurant actually in India I would expect. My other favorite dish is a vegetarian one, Malai Kofta.

Royal India Bistro is my family's go to for takeout Indian food! We love the lunch specials - $12 or so, big portion and comes with rice. Great bang for your buck. They've been alternating between offering indoor dining and only doing takeout. Parking lot in the back or metered street parking. My ABSOLUTE favorites are the goa shrimp curry and the butter chicken. goa shrimp curry: coconut curry, creamy, comes with grilled shrimp butter chicken: tandoori chicken inside a buttery tomato sauce

What a pleasant surprise! I rarely head up to Lexington but a friend lived close by and swore by this restaurant for Indian food. I'm glad I tried it because the service was superb and the food was addictively delicious! They served this chip in the beginning; my friend told me only good restaurants serve that. I always order just the basic chicken tikki masala but today we added the haddock masala and butter chicken. I've had butter chicken before but it never tasted this good. My friend was skeptical about fish masala and she thoroughly enjoyed it too. A++!

This review is really 4.75 out of 5 stars. RIB is my favorite suburban Indian restaurant in eastern MA. Great vibe, friendly staff and killer food make for awesome eat-in or take out. Tonight my wife and I ordered our dinner to go following a late afternoon hike with the dogs. We was stahving. The food and I arrived at the cashier station at the same time and $58 and 20 minutes later, we were home feasting on: Vegetable samosas Lamb saag (medium spicy) Shrimp Tandoori marsala (medium) Rice 2 orders of plain naan. We crushed it. No leftovers. Savored every bite. Only a .25 point penalty for no butter or fat on the plain naan. Otherwise this place rocks.

Love this place- one of our favorite places for Indian food in and around the Burlington area. The food is fantastic, flavorful and has just the right amount of spice. The service has always been good and the food is served pretty quickly. The location is perfect, in the heart of Lexington. Although one minor gripe would be the lack of space, the wait it short and the environs around the place just breathtaking (especially on spring/summer days) and a walk around the block to get an appetite going (or walk away a good meal) is worth it!

Royal India Bistro really met our expectations! With over four stars on Yelp, we were hoping the food will be great, and it sure was. We walked in on a Thursday night and almost all tables were full. That's a good start! We were seated promptly and service was on point all night. We didn't feel hurried, yet we never had to wait. Papads and chutney were served as snacks. We ordered palak paneer and the paneer tikka masala. Yes, two paneer dishes because their menu mentioned they make the paneer in-house and that got us curious. Both entrees came with rice and when we asked if they could sub for naan/roti, alas, it was a no. So we decided to order it separately. But instead of the usual naan, we went for the poori (or puri), a fried flatbread. I requested our server to make sure it's not too oily as we've tried it at a few places where the oil makes a puddle on your plate. And oh my, that poori was so good. Crispy, cracker-thin, and no oil drips. The paneer was soft and both curries were tasty. We finished up the meal with a salty lassi (no straw, please!). The entire meal was very delicious with enough leftover for next day's lunch! Sure to revisit if we're in the area.

I love, love this place. The food is top-notch excellent. The restaurant has a nice, cozy atmosphere, and parking is pretty easy. Every meal we had has been great: Chicken tandoori, aloo ghobi, garlic naan, chickpeas - we just want to eat and eat and have to remind ourselves that we're full.

Came here for first time for dinner. Hubby and I ordered the mixed appetizer, kashmir naan, poori, shrimp saag, and chicken vindaloo. Total came out to $48 (without tip). What's Hot - Quality. Yummers! All the food was well-seasoned (except the spiciness level), tender, and not greasy. This may sound silly to some, but hubby said he saw their chef, who looked legit. In other words, their chef was Sikh. For any ethnic restaurant, our general litmus test is that the chef is of the same ethnicity. It is not a hard and fast rule that the chef be the same ethnicity and I'm not saying that quality ethnic food can't be cooked well by someone not of that ethnicity. But generally speaking, ethnic restaurants who have a chef of the same ethnicity is a good indicator. - Portions. Pretty good-sized portions, especially for their prices. Definitely enough to make you full and satisfied. - Menu variety. Something for everyone- meat, vegetarians, vegans, seafood, and desserts! They look like they have a pretty decent drink selection, as well. There is mango-tini, lychee martini, and several other types of mixed drinks! I'll admit hubby and I were impressed by their drink selection. - Price. Pretty reasonable given the portions and the service. - Service. Between being seated, ordering, waiting for our food, and the final bill, everything went smoothly and went well. Staff regularly refilled our waters, checked in on us, and refilled sauces. They also provide free papadam, which is great. - Location. Conveniently located in Lexington. It's at the end of a block, which is nice, because it makes it easier to find. Additionally, there's a parking lot behind the restaurant, where there is free parking. - Health and safety. During this second year of the pandemic, when health and safety recommendations are regularly changing, this restaurant appears to be adhering to a pretty good standard. Some of their staff, but not all, including their chef, wore masks. I saw staff wiping down their plates and tables. After walking through the first front door, they have a second front door that opens to the main dining room. Their second front door has a plastic divider, with an opening where a host will ask if you're picking up food or dining in. It's nice to see they're still taking precautions. What's Not - Parking. Parking in the area isn't necessarily the easiest to find. All street parking near the restaurant is paid parking, which sucks. As mentioned previously, there is a parking lot in the back with free parking. - Spiciness level. Hubby's chicken vindaloo was not spicy at all. He asked for the highest level of spiciness, which it wasn't. Definitely a disappointment. I'm not sure if the restaurant's spiciness level is generally weak or because the chef purposely dulled the spice because hubby is white, but the vindaloo wasn't spicy at all. I've come across this concern with other friends, who are not ethnic minorities, but sometimes there is a concern that food isn't prepared spicy enough, because they don't "look" like they can handle it. Point is, the food isn't spicy, which isn't cool. Final Answer Definitely worth coming back.

Honestly not that much to say. The tikka masala and Biriyani were pretty good. Overall just a solid ass spot.

Continue with one star service. Just called twice and both times they hung up without saying anything.

I loved this place! So yummy and flavorful. I requested my curry "somewhere between mild and hot" and it was prepared perfectly! I went for lunch with a close friend who had been to India on 3 different occasions and was very impressed with the authenticity! Samosa appetizer was great. Naan was delicious and we tried a couple desserts that were nice and small to cool and sweeten our mouths before departing! We highly recommend!!

This place has the best flavors! I think it my best Indian food ever! The fish Pakora...Haddock...was amazing, a twist and one I like on fish and chip...slightly spicy batter...yummy! The Garlic Basil Naan...not on menu, Chefs son recommended was full of flavors. For the entree, Lamb Vindaloo...spices just right with slight heat. I ate as much as I could and the rest is going with me for breakfast! Oh service was perfect!
