Love's Yummy Cuisine

Easy to say we’ll be back 🙂 Love’s Yummy Cuisine has recently assumed ownership of the Royal Indian Cuisine location on Madison Ave. in the same plaza as Sherwin Williams Paints. We dined in and ordered the samosas, Palak paneer, Shahi paneer and a side of naan. Everything was hot, the Jasmine rice was perfectly cooked, and the samosas generously stuffed with a good, crisp crunch. Soft drinks, beer and lassi are available, in cans and bottles. We ordered Medium spice and probably could’ve gone with Hot based on what we received, but no real complaint there. The atmosphere is clean, simple, and there’s plenty of parking.

FRESH FRESH FRESH and INSANELY PACKED WITH FALVOR! The garlic naan is amazing and the Samosa 2pc.....the best ive tried anywhere. Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala are a blast of flavor. The Chicken Siekh Kebab is fresh to order. Overall worth the visit ✨️.

Best indian food, freshness overloaded, best customer service. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations and making us feel right at home. The owner even stopped by our table to ensure we were enjoying our meal, adding a personal touch that enhanced the entire experience. The food portions were generous, ensuring we had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later. The price was more than fair for the high quality and authenticity of the dishes served. If you are a fan of Indian cuisine or simply curious to explore its rich flavors, I highly recommend running to Royal Indian Cuisine

The gol gappe were delish, the dahi ones were our favorite. We ordered the haka noodles and some other entrees as well and they were all phenomenal. Don't skip the falooda at the end!

Today went to loves yumny cuisine with my friend the food is very tasty and fresh. I really like the Amritsari kulcha, goat curry & tandoori chicken, the staff is very friendly and polite. If you love indian food you must try this place. Also they have fresh sweets..

They forgot our order and had to make it with a big rush of folks eating in. The gentleman told me 10 minutes but 50 minutes laters I finally got my food. I understand that’s it’s under new management but service needs to be put in the forefront. The food here has been really good but it’s environment seems to be chaotic. I observed the employees working hard and cleaning tables with gloves however not sure if they changed them out when they went back into the kitchen.

A Must-Try! New Ownership Has Made This Place Incredible! ​I am so happy to report that this restaurant is under new ownership, and the difference is night and day! If you tried [Royal indian cuisine] before and were disappointed, you absolutely need to stop by and experience the transformation under its new name, Love's Yummy Cuisine. It is a night-and-day difference, and all for the better! ​The dishes are no longer "old style"—they are vibrant, exciting, and incredibly fresh. The quality of the ingredients is noticeable in every bite. Everything we ordered tasted like it was prepared right then and there. This shift in quality has truly elevated the entire menu. ​Not only is the food outstanding, but the new staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Royal Indian Cuisine has become our favorite Indian restaurant in the area. The food is consistently delicious, and the staff behind the counter are always warm and friendly. We usually order takeout, and it’s always packaged neatly and ready on time — we’ve never had a mix-up or missing item, which says a lot about their attention to detail. As mostly vegetarians, we really appreciate their extensive selection of flavorful vegetarian dishes. Everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. Whether we’re in the mood for something rich and creamy or light and spicy, they always deliver. Highly recommend Royal Indian Cuisine for anyone who loves authentic, thoughtfully prepared Indian food with great service.

Amazing food , great service. We got the butter chicken and the tiki masala. Highly recommend. Great menu and good price

Very good Indian food, especially the AmritsarI tandoori kulcha with chole. I'd highly recommend it.

Had lunch here today with my daughter. Absolutely the best Indian food I've had in Sacramento and I've eaten a lot. This place just changed hands recently. I liked it before, but I love it now. Absolutely my go to place for awesome Indian food. By far the best samosas I've ever eaten. They make them to order not premade at all, like most other places. Truly worth every penny.

I came here with my children, and there was a video playing with women dancing provocatively with little clothing. I asked multiple times for them to change the channel or turn it off. After the third time asking, they finally did. Mind you, no one else was in the restaurant so it's not like they were very busy. I miss Royal Indian which used to be here. The butter chicken is not as good. Will not be returning.

This is an updated review for "Love's Yummy Cuisine", while my previous reviews were for "Royal Indian". Within the last month or so the owner has changed. I was devastated to first learn this, but was happy with our meal on 12/12. I have a note for Paul and Anu, the previous owners, at the end of this "Love's" review. My wife and I decided to try Love's after learning about the ownership change, but before reading Yelp reviews--thankfully--because it is unlikely I would have wanted to try the new place after reading the few reviews available. We sat down and were given water as we explored the new menu. The water we were given tasted very bad...like dish water. I only had a couple sips, then just ordered some cans of Dr. Pepper for my wife and I. I looked online and saw the few reviews that were available, which did not make the new place sound good at all. I was very worried at this point...our favorite Indian place was gone, now this place had bad water and very unpromising reviews. Nevertheless, we stayed and ordered. We tried the garlic naan, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, chicken tikka kabob, and the aloo tikki chat. I do not have a ton of Indian food experience, so consider that reading my review, but I will do my best to compare elements of the meal to that of "Royal Indian's" dishes. I enjoyed Love's garlic naan slightly more than Royal's. It was very good. I enjoyed Love's green chutney significantly more than Royal's mint cilantro chutney. It was so good with the chicken tikka kabob. I enjoyed Love's rice slightly more than Royal's. I enjoyed Love's chicken tikka masala slightly more than Royal's lamb tikka masala...I thought it was very good. Love's butter chicken was not nearly as good as Royal's butter chicken. It was actually sub-par from my experience at other Indian restaurants...it was a bit disappointing. Too much tomato, I'm guessing? And definitely not as smooth as I'm used to. Overall, I was very satisfied with our meal, and was pleasantly surprised, especially after drinking the water and reading the recent reviews. I would have given 3.5 stars, if that was an option, but went ahead and rounded up because the owner is still new, and the staff seemed very friendly. I will return at some point given it is in the neighborhood and was very tasty, for the most part. Now, for Paul and Anu, the previous owners. I hope you both see this. Thank you so much for the wonderful food and hospitality the last 2+ years. My wife and I dined there many times, but not nearly enough. Thank you for educating us on your delicious cuisine. Before dining at your restaurant, I had only tried Indian food once, and I did not like it. My wife convinced me to try Indian food again, and I found your restaurant, and fell in love. You set a high standard for Indian cuisine, for me. I hope wherever you both are, you are thriving and doing very well. Thank you!

The food was so so deliscious!! Our favorite indian cuisine in Citrus Heights! Try ths Saag Paneer, and Garlic Naan!

Food was great and service was excellent. Pani puri golgappa and dahi golgappa was exceptional. Amritsari kulcha was really tasty. Thank you for providing such an amazing food.

Great food! We preferred dal makhni and shahi paneer along with Amritsari kulcha and garlic naan. All items were great!

Amritsari kulcha is authentic and amazing! Great portion size and flavorful too. The new owners are very kind and service is great!

Great food! My party ordered; Chicken Tikka Masala, Palak Paneer, and Goat Curry (Hot). The food was flavorful and the goat curry wasn't too overwhelming with spice. The service was great as well, the owner was very hospitable.

We are glad to reach over there that was good and amazing double fantastic employees were also good over there so glad to appreciate

The food was delicious and full of authentic flavors. The service was friendly and quick, and the staff made us feel very welcome. The seating area was clean, comfortable, and had a nice atmosphere. Overall, everything from the food to the service was excellent. Definitely recommend this place!

Amazing very nice and customer service was good and good was quick. Would come back again

Great experience! The food was delicious and fresh, and the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere. I will definitely come back and recommend it to friends and family.

Really good food, reasonable prices and excellent service treat with courtesy and respect.

The butter chicken was silky and comforting, with a sauce so smooth it practically begged to be scooped up with warm naan. If you're craving something soulful, colorful, and full of character, this is the place to go. 10/10

Butter chicken and naan bread for lunch very taste great balance of flavor and spoce without over powering

I thought I was going to Royal Indian, but it seems that new ownership has taken over and changed the restaurant. Very sad that the menu has been so stripped down. Very few options. The food was very middle of the road, lacking flavor and even though I asked for it to be hot there was zero spice to it. Dishes came out one by one with minutes in between and server couldn't remember who ordered what even though there were only three of us and we ordered one dish each. I'll be looking for a new go to unfortunately.

My husband was craving Indian food and saw this restaurant on his way home from work. The restaurant is in a small shopping center. The price was good for the portions and the flavors were on point. We would recommend the tikka masala. Naan was fire. Recommend.

I love this restaurant we tried Amritsari kulcha and veggie burger "The Amritsari Kulcha was spot on--insanely crispy and stuffed with a perfect potato mix, doused in just the right amount of butter. It came with a rich, tangy chole that tasted authentic. The Veggie Noodle Burger was a surprising hit, with a super crunchy patty and fresh, soft buns."

Royal Indian Cuisine...I have been here a few times and have not reviewed this restaurant...but I will say: IT IS AMAZING! Some of the best Indian food we've come across (and we've eaten a lot of Indian food!) the combination of flavors and just the right amount of spice is amazing! The restaurant is clean and the staff do an amazing excellent job keeping up the place. (Could not a cobweb) We were checked on constantly by the staff. They were quick with bringing the food and drinks out and continued to fill our glasses and give us refills on the Chai Tea we had. 10/10 experience. We will be back!

For Lunch, Food and services was okay. But when the bill came, it had additional charges that should not be there. We order one menu box lunch all $10.99,. When the bill came with additional "open food" item + $10.00, the box meal was $15.99 each. We try to explain several times to owner Paul, that these charge was not correct. Paul was not listening, he insisted he is correct, a waist of time with his explanation that did not make sense. This issue with Paul was not up front with these extra charge that does not make sense, will lose customers. We will never call her again.

I had a wonderful experience. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, and the service was outstanding. The staff was polite, welcoming, and very attentive. Highly recommended.The restaurant has a beautiful and relaxing ambiance that makes you feel comfortable right away. The food was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. I truly enjoyed..

I Had another wonderful dinner at Royal Indian Cuisine!! My favorite spot in the area for Indian food. This business is family owned and they are always so warm and welcoming. The food is top notch and you won't be disappointed!

Food was delicious! Loved the garlic naan and butter chicken! Great customer service!

These people are so kind and friendly I felt right at home having my birthday lunch! I really like that they don't bug you asking a million small talk questions, but they're very helpful and fast when you need it. Food service was fast and they have a lot of options for dishes. I got the Paneer Tikka Masala Lunchbox and my partner got the Butter Chicken Sandwich combo with waffle fries and a drink. We drove a good 45 minutes to dine here and it was well worth it! Very nice and clean dining interior as well.

This a small hole in the wall restaurant. Plenty of parking outside. I found this restaurant via Yelp. They don't do a lunch buffet. But you can do a 2 item order off the menu and rice. I ordered Shahi Paneer and Saag Paneer and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted really good with garlic naan. Garlic naan is $1 more than plain naan. They can adjust the spice heat level. I went with medium. The bento box like meal is $10.99 which is a great value. The decor and ambience is not great. They also did not refill my water. Hence minus 1 star. I would return, the food is good.

Amazing, Flavorful Food! I ordered through UberEats. I should have taken a picture before devouring it. Honestly, this is THE BEST Indian food I have EVER tasted. The spices are distinctly unique. It truly made love to my tongue. This is probably the only place I will ever go to in Sacramento's. I highly recommend this place!

loved amritsari kulcha try first time it was so amazing also good service good pricing

The best Indian food in the area! Since I found this place I haven't gone back to any of the other local options. Especially love the Lamb Vindaloo and the Paneer Tikka Masala, great Mango lassi too! Fast service and the owner Paul is super friendly.

Changed Hands and no longer as good. This was my go to place for great Indian food. It was always fabulous. Went on my birthday on Nov 22 in person as a treat. Was dismayed to find it had changed hands and there was a new menu (with a lot of typos). Karahi Chicken was decent but the Chicken Tikka Masala was plain bad. Loads of green peppers in it along with other things that do not belong. Asked for papadam and got a blank stare. Servers were friendly but sadly I will not be going back. I mourn the loss of a once great gem.

Great food and a friendly manager! Four of us grabbed a couple tandoori chicken and goat curry. The tandoori check takes a while because they actually make it fresh but it's worth the wait!

Excellent food. We had mutton biryani, saag chicken, shahi paneer, and Amritsari kulcha....everything was simply very delicious, authentic flavor.....and served with love and respect....in true Indian tradition! Highly recommend it!

My husband and I have enjoyed the food at Royal Indian Cuisine for awhile, so I thought it was time to write a review. What I appreciate most is they clearly label what is vegan, compared to what is vegetarian. We've ordered both dine in and take out and every instance has been delicious. This most recent visit we dined in and ordered aloo gobi, dal, and roti. The sever and owner were both kind and prompt. Our food came quickly and was plated nicely. We will be back.

Came in with only 20mins till closing and they were still very friendly and accommodating. Food was amazing, definitely will be coming back.

I love Royal Indian! The owner is very nice and the food is so so delicious :) The butter chicken sandwich was very good and flavorful. I also love getting their gobi manchurian too.

We ordered quite a few things for our family so we could try a little bit of everything. The rice was mistakenly not with the order, but the restaurant was apologetic and quickly corrected the mistake. We ordered the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, navratan korma, malai kofta, gobi manchurian, aloo tikki, assorted naan, and the gulab jamun. The spice levels were just right. From grandpa to a seven year old, we loved it all, and we will definitely be back.

Delicious good as always!!!! Hubby got the lamb wrap and I got the Chicken Tikka Masala Lunch Special. Ordered an extra side of their Chili Naan and a Mango Lassi to go with. Sorry, no pictures. It was absolutely delicious though!!!!!

It's our to go place for Indian food but this time little different. Because of New ownership and food was too good. Coming back for sure. Please do visit.

Food was great! We ordered 2 kulche and butter chicken. The naan was very flavorful, butter chicken was great and the kulche were unbeatable. 10/10

I got the chicken tiki masala lunch special and my boyfriend got the butter chicken sandwich combo GREAT tasting Indian food and not only that I got my food during their 11:00 to 2:30 lunch special for $10.99

We tried buffet and every food item was great. I really liked fish chilly, and rest of the curry items were right as well. They lose 1 star due to mediocore gulabjamun and tea( indian tea should not be that watered down).

Favorite spot to stop for delicious samosas! The workers are always very kind, best place for a warm comfort meal after a long day

My favorite lunch to go! IYKYK. Real quality food for under $12 and always fast. Down side is it's across the parking lot instead of facing the street so people don't see iit.if you know Indian, you'll love it. If you don't, order mild and ask their recommendation. Dinner is awesome too.

My girlfriend and I came here a few weeks ago for a sit down dinner and everything we ate was amazing. We had the Kulcha, Chicken Korma, Chala Masala, and Butter Paneer all spicy. The food was the best Indian food I have had in the Sacramento area. The only thing better than the food was the host. We met the owner Paul who was very gracious and made us feel very welcome. You can really tell that he cares about his restaurant and his customers. I will be back to try the fusion food and we will check out their food truck as well.

Good restaurant, homely vibes. Ordered an off the menu item and ordered second time after finishing it :) Staff is good.

Love the food and service at this restaurant. Rishi Paul, Sanjay and family treat every customer with respect and kindness and serve food that is freshly made. My husband and I go there whenever we crave authentic Indian food and are never disappointed. Our favorites are their parathas. Awesome, yummy food. 10 stars for their service.

Paul and his family were absolutely beyond accommodating however the food and flavors were beyond some of the best I have ever tasted. We will be back and often!
