royal indian curry house

it’s on the expensive side, but so worth it! you can sense that they didn’t scrimp on the ingredients.
the dining staff were all pros, and very friendly.

the only setback is the makati traffic, so if the management of rich is reading, please please, put up a branch in bgc.

the name if the restaurant says it all. royal interiors....amazing indian curry on the house.
the food here brings somewhat closer to india

hungry foodie indians smell there way to amazing food.

we ordered creamy mango lassi, dry manchurian very much like indi chinese dish, mix vegetable, garlic naan and chole bhatura.

wow was the taste. chole bhature made me feel nostalgic.

if you are looking for an authentic indian cuisine, do pay a visit to the place and i am sure you will not be disappointed.

i am definitely going here again to try new things on their elaborative menu.

thank you for making us feel home away from home ❤️

great experience, to say the least.

we had a couple of dishes and i'd justify my rating one-by-one. the veggie samosas were served hot and crunchy, filled generously with potatoes and green peas, with the crust achieving a thin yet crisp texture. the flavor of indian spices is also evident in the filling, which in my opinion, is best paired with the tamarind sauce which has a sweet taste with a kick of sourness. altogether, the blend of flavors is amazing. you won't feel umay. also, it's not oily compared to the other samosas.

the tandoori chicken was cooked to perfection, achieving a juicy and creamy (yes, creamy) texture within the meat. it has this smokey taste that compliments the spices well.

we had the garlic naan and cheese naan. well, the naan were both served hot and evenly crispy and soft (as in some parts are soft and some are crispy), which is great. the cheese naan was the winner as it gives this creamy kick of cheesiness without being salty or overbearing. the garlic naan in my opinion was a bit too garlicky, but if that's what you want then why not?

the biryani rice was quite unique as it had this citrusy refreshing kick that compliments the curry dishes well. this is a well-thought of "rice flavor." haha!

we had the butter chicken and the curry kambing (i forgot the name). i'd talk more about the butter chicken. it was amazing. chicken was cooked tender and juicy throughout. the curry wasn't too "curry-y," but rather it had this explosive flavors of butter, curry, spices, and what have you. the sauce was just amazing. it makes you want to keep digging. it's especially best paired with the cheese naan or the biryani rice. truly, this dish brought me to heaven for a second or two.

the curry kambing dish was okay. the kambing meat was cooked to perfection, however i prefer the sauce of the butter chicken in many countless ways possible.

the yogurt was also yummy, a bit of sourness with a zeal of sweetness to end the experience.

great experience, i would come back, definitely. ambiance is also ideal for dates.

this is as authentic as you can get for indian food in manila. i have been around asia and they do their curry right. my favorite dish, palak paneer is served here thick and flavorful. they even got it as mild spiced as i liked. the ambiance takes me back to indian restaurants in singapore and malaysia and i don't even have to go out of town. on the pricey side but hey you get what you pay for.

last 2 orders we got from rich was far below expectations. we used to swear by your mutton shami kebab and were big fans of it. last couple of orders we had was completely below expectations and we expect way better than this. while today's order was tasting funny, the previous order was ruined caused due to excess salt. rich ia known for sustained quality of food, please dont drop that !

okay... so one of the best... perfect for the late night indian food cravings... afghani chicken is the forever favourite... hydrabadi biryani is great... harabhara kebab for the vegans... rarra chicken is next level 💝

rating: 4/5

my bf had to treat me because it's 14th of feb at para makabawi sa libre ko sa taste of la. charot. he asked me what i was craving for today and voila, he brought me to poblacion and tried this resto recommended by his indian friend. so we ordered the following;

tandoori chicken
naan on the run
mutton (goat) rogan josh
tandoori roti

authentic indian experience, plus the serenade. food's perfectiy cooked. the lamb and chicken kinda melts in your mouth. their naan on the run (not in the menu) was awesome! it's just that they had us waiting for an hour because they missed to place our order. rating could have been 5.

went here to celebrate a work milestone. the place had several floors with posh interiors.

we had the mutton rajwari kofta which was delightfully spicy. it builds up and makes you want to chug down your lassi. i sort of regretted ordering the saffron rice, because the spices from the kofta killed whatever subtle saffron flavor that the rice had.

we discovered that the cheese naan was the perfect dish to eat with the kofta. the whole experience was unforgettable. the food was so good that we were shocked when we realized that we have naan left (get it?).

my expat indian friends seemed to like this place too because they always thanked me whenever i run into them. they say it made them feel somewhat closer to home and i think that already says a lot!

it was a random decision to eat at royal indian curry house. my friend suggested that we eat here because it has good reviews in zomato.
i really liked the cheese naan. the hydearabadi biryani was good on its own, even without other dishes since it is already tasteful. it is good for 2-3 persons, depending on carbs capacity. the mango lassi balanced the spiciness of the biryani.

we had a staycation near the restaurant so we decided to try out the restaurant. the staff were very accommodating and they moved so fast - probably because it was sunday night and the place was packed. the food was really good. we loved the butter chicken and the palak paneer. we also ordered chicken tikka and it was also good. :) for dessert, we ordered gulab jamun. the serving size was okay, relatively good for 2-3 people. as for the price of the food and drinks, it was quite expensive. we recommend reserving a table during the weekend.

staff was super helpful and the food was great! the crunchy chickpea appetizer and the cheese naan and the rice with lamb in a pot thing (don’t recall the name of the dish) were 🤤🤤🤤

went here and had probably the best indian food i have ever eaten. got the butter chicken and chicken tandoori plus a few naan and i couldn’t stop eating. well worth your money!

i've never been to india, but rich has one of the best indian food in metro manila imo. extensive menu, plenty of vegetarian options, and while it's a little pricy, they more than make up for it with their rather swanky interiors. would definitely go back here in a heartbeat!

me and my friends are craving for indian food experience and rich doesn't disappoint! you'll definitely feel its authenticity as there are lots of local indians who eats here.

food - 5. food experience is the best. we ordered another cheese naan as we love the dipping sauces.
ambiance - 5. indian vibes and very spacious. the restaurant has an elevator, imagine that?
service - 4. falldown is the lengthy time we spent asking for our bill.

order: hydearabadi biryani, murg makhani, paneer lababdar, cheese naan and tandoori roti
