Reliable, affordable North Indian staples with a few Himalayan touches; best for tikka, korma, vindaloo, naan, and late-night cravings, but biryani and occasional takeout mishaps disappoint.
The verdict
Royal Indian Cuisine delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by standout tikka masala, butter chicken, and naan, paired with warm, attentive service and excellent value for San Francisco. However, inconsistent execution—particularly takeout errors and salt level swings—and a dated, modest setting prevent a higher grade. It's a reliable pre-show or neighborhood go-to, but lacks the polish and consistency of top-tier Indian dining.
One caveat: Biryani is frequently called non-traditional or underseasoned by purists
