CHARMINAR INDIAN RESTAURANT & CATERING REVIEWS
Amazing food and experience. One of the best Indian foods I have had in SoCal. In many restaurants I have noticed some food being good and others not that good, but here everything was amazing. We had Samosa, Goat Dum Biryani, Chilli chicken, Chicken Chettinad, Roti l, Naan, Gulab Jamun and Mango Lassi. In some of the restaurants, chef keeps changing and hence they are unable to maintain their standards, but I hope Charminar is not one of those. Next time we go to SD, charminar is going to be our dining spot for sure.
Wow…this place is blowing up with awesome food and flavors. We tried many options and they were all fantastic. We order chicken and goat sukka, butter chicken, tikka Marsala, veg street noodles (so good we ordered the chicken ones also) butter naan, biryani, rice, white rice, and basmati rice. For appetizers, try the tandoori chicken and chicken 65. Everything including the service was awesome.
Ordered the Dum Ka chicken at the suggestion of the staff, they were great and able to articulate what about the meal was different than my usual Tikka Masala. They were spot on, great meal with beautiful flavor, not too spicy, really hit the mark.

Our first time ordering the Saag Paneer and it was definitely enjoyed. Our favorite item to include for catering is Tandoori Chicken and it did not disappoint.

ROYAL INDIA-SAN DIEGO REVIEWS
My recent group dining experience at Royal India in San Diego left an indelible mark of satisfaction. The inviting ambiance coupled with impeccable service set the stage for a delightful evening. Opting for the vegetable samosa and chicken kebab was a culinary triumph; the samosas were perfectly crisp, with a flavorful medley of vegetables encased within, while the chicken kebabs were succulent and expertly seasoned. The menu's diversity catered to various tastes, accommodating both vegetarians and meat enthusiasts. The attentive staff ensured our every need was met, contributing to a seamless dining experience. Sharing this gastronomic journey with a friend amplified the joy. Royal India in San Diego continues to exemplify excellence in Indian cuisine, making it a must-visit for those seeking an authentic and satisfying culinary adventure, especially in a group setting.
I am an Indian and this is very very close to authentic food. Hands down the most delicious Indian food we had in a very long time in America. We tried chicken biryani, saag, kofta curry made extra spicy with garlic naan. Our server Gaurav suggested these based on our North Indian heritage and want to thank him for this.
We had an all vegetarian dinner and every curry was pretty good. The hot option for the curries was fairly hot. Service is a bit slow but we were there right before closing time. Would recommend visiting.
