Royal India - Miramar

Almost every other team outing I have been to with my colleagues has been to this place. The lunch buffets are a good choice for a large group of people and have a wide selection of items, but the overall quality is a bit less compared to some other Indian places, given the price. The samosas are decent though not really spicy. The Shahi mango is quite good and worth a mention. Having been to the Del Mar location once and trying the Chaat options there, I would rate it comparatively higher than the Miramar branch.

Best value indian buffet for 15 usd. Nice choice of dishes where both vegetarians and non vegetarians will find something tasty to eat. Spice level is reasonable. Decoration is nice.

We had the buffet for lunch. It was delicious. The garbanzos were a bit spicy for me, but my husband loves them. The curry - especially the curried veggies in Coconut milk was exquisite. The drink - lassi - was the best I've had since India. I love na'an was good. Rice pudding and fruit in mango sauce were great desserts.

Great staff and the place is poppin'. The venue looks like a great place to hold a variety of events. The staff is on top of it and very courteous. Overall great environment. I live the stage lighting that adds to the good feel.

Great Indian food. Just be careful of the spiciness level. The hot is really, really hot. I like my food on the mild side and asking for mild was just right. My son, who likes hot, spicy food asked for really hot and he said it was painful.
