| - This is, hands-down, our favorite Indian restaurant, and really, it's our favorite restaurant in the Valley. They won us over long ago with their consistently excellent food and service, but they really won our undying allegiance by being open on Christmas Day.
We almost always order a korma dish. It is lush and creamy with a bit of sweetness. Being a vegetarian, I love all their paneer dishes especially the saag paneer and paneer tikka. In my meat-eating days, I was head over heels with any shrimp dish. They always use big, plump suckers not sad little dried out bay shrimp like some other places. Their basmati is way better than the other Indian places in town. They actually flavor it properly. Garlic naan is, of course, heavenly.
Service is quick and friendly. Over the six years dining at Royal Taj, we have never had a bad moment or slip up. This place really is a gem, and I hope more people give it a shot. It's never crowded which is nice, but we're constantly worried it will go out of business.
