Recent Reviews
One of the best Indian food places here in Fresno. The buffet format allows for a great amount of variety in what you consume, and everything is very high quality. Would come again!
May 2025
The five of us had a very nice meal at Royal Taj tonight. Everyone was friendly, accommodating, and the experience was laid-back, casual and comfortable. The food was good solid northern Indian cuisine, really nice naan bread and great tamarind and mint chutneys to go with our meal. The lamb saag was particularly enjoyable, with nice tender pieces of lamb and well spaced spinach. A very enjoyable meal

Experience affordable Indian food at its best, like Tikka Masala and Curry flavors with lamb, goat, chicken, etc. You can eat ordinary or you can eat oriental, and do something different to break up the monotony of your boring, pathetic life. I recommend the lunch buffet, so that you can courageously put yourself out there trying new things.
