Royal India Cuisine - Calgary

Maybe its because I have had lots of Indian food in VancouverI want to say this place is wow but its mediocre.

Today was my first visit to RIC The lunch buffet was delicious and well varied Vegan and non vegan were plentiful.

I stayed at the Regency Suites and Royal India delivered to the hotel. I ordered the Butter Chicken with rice and naan. It arrived unbelievably quick, 10 min. Food was good although way too much. It's a full round silver container of each item. It was just myself, and there was enough for at least 2. Would order from there again next time I'm in town.

Had a take-out from here.The portions were very generous and we could not eat all we ordered, made an excellent breakfast!The food is good in the main. Had the Vegetarian Platter which was very tasty a good start. The pompadom's, however, were not so good, through they were better the morning after.Had vegetable Korma, Goat Curry (Medium) and Chicken Tandori. All well cooked with plenty of meat. The two curry dishes were a bit hotter than we would expect based on UK experience, so you may want to avoid the really hot stuff.Saffron rice was excellent but the Nan bread was a real let down, based upon what we are used to.Overall good food but let down by a couple of exceptions.

Quiet atmosphere, and pleasant staff. The food was plentiful, and full of Indian flavour. The Chsi tea was also very tasty. A good place to go when in downtown Calgary. Affordable prices, and a good selection of food for everyone's taste buds!
