Explore offerings from Royal India Restaurant on 24288 Swartz Dr in Lake Forest, with popular appetizer, bread, momo, and vegetarian available at this location.
Overall, a really good restaurant compared to other buffet options in the area. I didn’t try their à la carte menu, but the buffet was definitely worth it.
The palak paneer was really good - not the typical blended palak. It had a more authentic, unblended texture, and the flavor was excellent. The paneer tikka curry was a little too pink in color, and the taste was just average. The dry potato, cauliflower, and bell pepper curry was very good, and the mixed vegetable curry with gravy was also tasty.
Overall, I’d say this is one of the better Indian buffets in and around Irvine. Definitely worth trying at least once!
The desserts - gulab jamun, mango pudding, and gajar ka halwa - were good as well. They also had pani puri, which was a nice bonus!

Food good. BUT watch your receipt before signing. Extra charges you may want to question. A restaurant should penalized for credit card use! No legally post posted notice of doing so.

food was not cooked all the way at the dinner buffet (it felt as if the lunch items had been reheated) but most of the food had gone cold. The server was nice and offered to reheat plates. But serving cold buffet food for the price of the buffet is really not okay. Would not come here again.
