Excellent buffet with a great variety of dishes. Staff were friendly and helpful for our large group. Will definitely be back for more naan and butter chicken!

Stopped in to grab some take-out buffet.
They had a private party going on and their buffet was a custom vegetarian only selection.
The person told me I was welcome to grab whatever I wanted, as the food was already made and they would not eat it all. But he apologized for the lack of meat options. I didn't mind and decided to be adventurous and try a bit of everything.

I was given some naan... more

Went in for the lunch buffet. $19.95 after tax I think is pretty fair. The food was 9/10, service was great as well, but kindof felt a bit depressing inside and dark. Might be in need of a small upgrade. 5/5 if it was a bit lighter in the restaurant, but the food was great. Check it out!

This is our favourite place for Indian. Lots of selection and the food is always amazing. Lots of saucy meats to dip the naan in. My little ones love it too!

The only reason theyre getting a 3 star is because the food was good, however the service is unprofessional and they take a VERY long time for everything else.

Really like the decor, service and food, just about in any order ;)

One of the bigger Indian restos ive been to, as these guys been in business for awhile, and do lots of private parties, catering, buffets and delivery.

Being in the dt core sure helps too, located right below a major office building.

Was there last year for a biz trip, and can vouch for their butter chicken.

i just remember... more

Went there for a friend's birthday first time, awesome place loads of space. They had us in the back area which was great since it was tucked away and private.
... from the street this place looks tiny but man is it ever huge! ....
They were super accommodating we had a large party and our friend had hired a belly dancer and the staff and owner were sooo helpful and welcoming with the... more

After hearing ad upon ad on the radio, I finally decided to give Royal India a try for Sunday Brunch one day. I really wasn't in the mood for eggs, and heck, how often do I let myself indulge in butter chicken. I'm glad I decided to go that Sunday, as parked cars was fairly sparse. Right across from a city lot with discounted parking on weekends, I would hate to go here during the week when... more

Pricey for an Indian buffet. You can expect great tasting indian food.

We strolled in here on a Friday Night after having taken a random stroll from Kensington, the new Chinese Finger Trap bridge (I made that one up feel free to use it), and the sketchy Prince's Island Park (it's so ugly when theres no green and flowers!) and the armpit of Downtown Calgary.

Me and my buddy immediately jumped into the buffet. They had a wide variety all arranged in a line... more

$18 Indian dinner buffet...how can you go wrong? They have a decent selection including all the standard Indian buffet eats.

The only issue I had was the $3 buffet coke...$3 for a coke?! The expensive pop aside, I will be returning here.

Royal India - downtown has two distinct personalities. The lunch buffet is crowded and nothing special - unless quantity is your thing. Dinner is a different story. The weeknights that I've been there have been nearly deserted. Tonight for example, my dinner guest and I were the only two patrons. Even with that "crowd," service is slow and nothing special (but usually friendly). The Vindaloo... more

I kept telling at yelp party it's one of the places that u can visit of those Indian restaurants in calgary, but why didn't I review yet?? Here it goes. When it comes to downtown, I can suggest this as one of the good places for buffet of Indian restaurants.
Good that we have lunch buffet here over weekend too.( Saturday there was, but not too sure about sunday.)

I would want to rate it 3.5... more

Great flavors, tasty naan bread, and awesome atmosphere!

The naan stole the show. The nan alone gets one star. It was of the thinner more crispy type, not the thick fluffy type. Three stars for the curry. I did not think it was better than the other smaller Indian places around Calgary.

Personally, I prefer the smaller mom & pop Indian restaurants. Royal India would be good to host banquets or company events, the place is huge and even has a dance... more

Royal India is by far the best Indian restaurant I have been to, and a model to which I compare all the rest.

Food was not just good, it was delicious, abundant, with lots of variety, and nicely served. There obviously was some Kingfisher accompanying it, and waiters were very polite and careful. I have read some negative opinions and can imagine that quality varies, but at least the time I... more

Attended a private dinner year back in April. This restaurant is quite big, has a dance floor at the back.

The food quality was not that good, maybe it was because of the mass amount of people that were in attendance, proper care was not given into preparing the food. Chicken wasn't cooked properly and just left a bad taste in my mouth. Indian food is known to be spicy, all the dishes were... more

went here for a private event.

worst indian food i've ever had. I'd really save my money and go ANYWHERE else, there's tons of alternatives in downtown.

THOUGH, the decor is nice! it seemed really traditional!

My colleagues and I decided we wanted to bond so we opted to try something new, enter Royal India. When you enter the restaurant you are welcomed by two life statues of people just like you and me except they are wearing traditional South Indian clothing. This is a nice touch, this and the wonderful beckoning interior color decor, fusia and oranges... very stimulating.

Our group of 15 were a... more

The first time I was confronted with Royal India's buffet, my stomach expanded six times. Buffets are not my friend, and this had a selection of all of my favourites - delicious butter chicken, fresh cooked Naan, paneer, samosas, paneer, vindaloo. My plate was full like a little mountain, and I felt like I was going to explode for the rest of the day. Which was a bad thing, because at the time... more

I had been craving Indian food for days, and picked Royal India Cuisine after much deliberating over Yelp reviews. Sigh, it was something of a disappointment.

This restaurant was *empty* for dinner. I wish I liked this place better, really, I do. Their prices are fair and their portions are pretty good. But we went here for dinner and the food was just .... mediocre. It didn't hit the spot.... more

This place is awesome! I came here for a business lunch and it was great. The decor is warm and colorful, and the food is delicious. It apparently gets really busy at lunch time, because there wasn't an empty table in sight when I was there. The place just kept on filling and filling up! But that's no worry, since this restaurant is quite large.

We hit the buffet right away, and my favorite... more

Royal India has a pretty good buffet. I've had the lunch buffet during the work week and it's quite a spread.

There's a salad bar, samosas, the different types of curries both vege and meat, tandoori chicken, naan bread, desserts and fruits.

I absolutely love the goat curry!!

Royal India is by far my favorite India restaurant in Calgary. The curries are rich and spicy. The breads are cooked and seasoned to perfection. I hear that the lunch buffet here is really good; even though I am not a big fan of buffets I am definitely going to give it a try. I would definitely recommend.
