I would recommend to anyone. The lamb was amazing and the service was good. The ambiance was a tad sketchy due to the location though.

Great takeout place. Well spiced dishes with great portions. Haven't gone wrong with anything I order here. Used to place massive orders every other week during the pandemic so I could get a break in cooking.

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

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.

I am vegetarian and I love to try different food places for vegetarian foods and I have no hesitation to tellThis place has no comparison with other North Indian restaurants because this place is best for North Indian food . Dal makhani c Muglayi kadahi paneer , Malai methi paneer are best ever

I recently took a takeout from Royal Kitchen, Oakland and it hit the spot. The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich and flavorful, with juicy chicken and a creamy sauce with right flavours. The garlic naan was soft and perfect. Portions were generous, and everything was still hot by the time I got home. Definitely worth trying if you're craving Indian food in the area! It is one of the best restaurants to pick from !!

Tasty food, right balance of spice as I asked for, not too hot for my food palates. I ordered takeout after I dined in for my family. Highly recommend Paneer Tikka masala, portion size was pretty big too in comparison to other restaurants.
