Royal Biryani

The food tastes really authentic. While my chicken tikka marsala didn't taste like a 10 out of 10 spicy it still had good flavor. The food was fresh and the service exceptional. The place did not stop buzzing the whole time we were there. People were constantly coming in to place orders or visiting for the first time. The server really made the establishment feel welcoming. He has a great personality and was very open about what he knew and didn't know from the menu. I liked that he went to the kitchen to have questions answered. The mango lassi tasted cold and fresh. Like it was made in house. They advertised for fresh homemade sweet tea. The chili naan was cooked perfectly. And my husband enjoyed the chili chicken. Though it had a Chinese flavor to it, it tasted really good. We have gon

So tonight was supposed to be “date night for us”. Got some family stuff going on and time got away from us. Attempted to order online for a pickup order and stuff didn’t work out— so we had to call our order in— not gonna lie, down to the wire—- the gentleman we spoke to was BEYOND patient, kind and just asked us to be there before 9:30pm because of their closing time. Definitely felt bad ordering this close to closing as I understand the service industry. We have dined in before and had the most amazing experience— food, staff— everything was amazing. Wanted to be there in person tonight. Husband raced out to pick up stuff - our price point of money spent comes from 2 people “who EAT to LIVE, not live to eat”- so do not judge us 🤣. We love food and have no issues with leftovers— as most

I'm a picky eater and only like certain types of food. Growing up, I never really ate Indian food because it was never introduced to me, and honestly, the pictures I saw didn’t look very appetizing. That changed when I went to the Taste of Charlotte festival and tried chicken biryani for the first time, it was so good that I immediately wanted to order some from a real Indian restaurant. I looked up Indian restaurants near me and found one I liked. I ordered chicken biryani online, and my total came to $19.76. It would’ve been a little less, but I added a side of raita sauce. For that price, they gave me a huge portion of chicken biryani. The food was delicious and had just the right amount of spice, definitely a 10/10. After finishing all the chicken (3 pieces) and just a little bit of ri

Nice Indian spot serving biryani, curry and other Indian classics. Great service and clean environment next to the movie theater. Friendly and quick service. We ordered the samosa, saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. All came out quickly and was piping hot. Good spice level with a 1-10 scale, we got 6 and it was a good balance. Recommend this place!

I used to go their ghost kitchen and was very sad when it went out of business. However, the OG in Matthews is even better. Curt was a fantastic host. Hands down one of the best in biryani in town - get the royal thanks special lamb biryani!
