We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Shrimp & Chicken Vindaloo, Shrimp Tandoori, Basmati Rice and Garlic Naan. It was delicious! I highly recommend the food. And don't be afraid of the location. Even though the Shell Station is closed next door, the lot is safe, the restaurant is spacious and great for big groups!

I visited Royal Kitchen Oakland for third time while doing business in the area, it's my favorite perhaps the best indian food in oakland and alameda area. I ordered my favorite butter chicken with garlic naan also the soy chaap for first time in this visit. Soy chaap was so yummy, I ordered takeout too for my wife who is vegan

Hands down the best goat biryani I've ever had. The service is fast, the employees are so sweet and accepting. Honestly they make better biryani than my Punjabi mother in law

We love their food - ordered chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, Dal Makhani, chicken biryani, naan. All good! Service was spot on and friendly. Be mindful of the location, ordering takeout works the best.

i havent had this good of indian food in MONTHS. -i had the samosas (super fresh) -the lamb curry (MY FAVORITE) its was seasoned so good, the lamb was so tender felt like butter. not gamy at all. -the chicken tika masala: it was good but to me it was a bit to thick. felt like a paste almost. but the flavor was great and the chicken tender. -jalapeño garlic naan.- sooo good only thing wish they were a bit larger. -side of white rice EVEN THE WHITE RICE WAS PERFECTION! overall i have nothing bad to say. the portions for the price are completely worth it. will be coming back

Great food! I love Indian food and this is def in my top spots. I will say the service was a bit slow but the food was well worth the wait. Everything is well spiced and has good heat and they have a decent beer selection. The serving sizes are big so definitely don't over order like we did.

I stopped by a few days ago to grab a chicken wrap, and let me tell you it was on of the best I ever had. The tandoori chicken was well marinated, and fresh lest not forget to mention. Also the cashier was very nice and it was quick since I was in lunch. I totally recommend.

Dined in for the first time. Asked for extra spicy, was not disappointed. I wanted to cry, and it made me cry. I ordered the Karahi chicken. It was very flavorful, and the chicken itself was tender and tasty, not dry. Naan was fresh and tasty. I was not a big fan of their mango lassi (it was still good, just not as good as other's I've had.) The bathroom was surprisingly nice and clean. It's a real shame the area is so sketchy, they make some genuinely delicious food here. The water was good.

Delighted with the wide variety of well-seasoned vegan and vegetarian recipes. Good place to catch lunch. Each TV screen has a different genre: the Punjabi music videos lend a fun vibe. The mango lassi could be thicker - still fruity & refreshing.

Amrit was our server at Royal Kitchen & offered the best service when I took my wife & uncle there for valentines. My wife loved the lamb & chicken curry 3 different types of naan bread. It was raining and food tasted so delicious & will come here again. Great for family lots to choose from. Worth every penny.

Excellent service and food has never disappointed! Restaurant clean and in order. Greeted upon entry; offered a seat while waiting and complimentary tea to keep warm.

The food here is great. One of the places that gives you a really good authentic Indian cuisine. Service is OK. I've went in person twice and the service was good. I've called in and picked up and the service over the phone wasn't the best. And the person I was talking to was being a little rude. Even though the food is really good, weirdly enough every time I go to eat there aren't really people in there. I think because of the location most people don't know about it, or just don't go into sit. But overall the ambience of the place is pretty quiet, and good if you want to have a nice dinner with some friends or family.

Cauliflower Manchurian is great, great appetizers, food is average. But it's convenient place. My work.

We had a meal at the Royal Kitchen Indian restaurant in Oakland, which is super close to the airport, making it really convenient. The food was surprisingly awesome! The Naan was crispy and delicious, especially the jalapeno Naan—highly recommend it. We tried the Malai Kofta and a Paneer dish, both of which were fresh and bursting with flavor. Our server, Amrit, was really humble and helpful, adding to the great experience. The salty lassi was spot on, though the portion was smaller than what you get at other Indian places. All in all, it's a fantastic spot to grab a bite when you're in Oakland.

I come here very often and food is always great. I typically get the chicken/lamb vindaloo or curry, and after experimenting, it’s some of the best Indian food I’ve had. Flavors are rich without being overpowering, delicious! The server there is always very nice and it makes for a pleasant visit

Food was delicious. I made it on a Friday night so dinner was buffet. The North Indian cuisine is amazing. The mutton is delicious and plenty of it. Excuse my photos because they do not highlight the best parts. I'm trying to do a keto diet and failed. I let my eyes wander and they were hungry.
