Pretty bad for Indian food – Our daughter treated us for dinner this evening (1/19/12). The restaurant looked nice, dark like many Indian restaurants. We ordered assorted vegetable for appetizer and what we got was 1 samosa and 5 onion bhajjis (for $7.95). The Samosa was OK but the dish was over priced. My wife ordered a vegetarian thali ($19.95), I ordered Malabar fish curry dish ($23.95) , and my daughter ordered Chicken Tandoori. The vegetarian thali came with bagara baingan, saag, and some other vegetable, and a little b... read more
Great Place!! – When I go out to eat, I expect to pay a lot for my meal. I also expect to get a lot of food for that money. I'm a bit of a foodie and only want the best. Well, this place did deliver a great meal that I really enjoyed, only the portion was so small that I left feeling hungry still. The price wasn't worth the meal. However, the ambiance is very nice
Horrible food, Unprofessional service – I'm normally easy to please but tonight I ate here and I was appalled at the experience here. The waiters got our orders wrong twice I ordered the lamb shank dish which was supposed to come with pilaf and salad. After waiting over 20 minutes for food, the waiter gave me my main dish, the lamb shank and an empty plate. I asked the waiter where the side dishes were and he shrugged and asked another waiter. Turns out they "forgot". To rectify this, he came out with another plate with the ... read more
Too pricey! – This restaurant is located near South Coast Plaza so the location is nice and convenient. However, the service is poor. When we walked in on a Sunday afternoon the hostess, who appeared to be the owners wife, told us to wait in that someone was leaving. We stood by the door, and 15 minutes later, she took us back to our table, although we never saw anyone walk out..odd! The waiters were no better in taking our order timely, or bringing us the tab at the end - in fact we had to walk up to the bar to pay as means... read more
True Indian Cuisine in OC – One of the few true Indian Restaurants in Orange County. Very unique and wonderfuly prepared dishes. Most Indian Restaurants over spice their dishes. Royal Khyber does not, but lets the true flavor of the dish take over. This is a fabulous place to have a relaxing quiet lunch with friends! We will be back!
Horrible Customer Service and NEVER AGAIN – Extremely horrible experience last evening!!! Made reservations online at 7pm, but was late by 15 minutes. Hostess told us to wait for another 20 mins as our table was given to someone else which is understandable. As 20 mins past, went back to ask if our seats were ready and hostess tells me I have to wait another 20 to 30 mins as we were half an hour late. Corrected her & said no as we're only 15 mins late & she then pulls out the online RSVP stating that our RSVP was at 630pm. I... read more

One of the best Indian food in OC! – So before I write my reviews, let me give you brief understanding that my opinion comes from a person who is sincerely into food. I dream about food all the time, constantly thinking about the flavors of the world so I know what I am talking about. With that said, here's what I have to say about this place.....I've only came here for lunch and every time has been a very pleasant experience, ranging from customer service to the quality of food, very cute waiter/bartender, might I add. They... read more
Great Food, Great Service – I took my out-of-town parents here recently on a Sunday evening, and we had a wonderful time. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable, and didn't try to rush us even though we took forever deciding what to order. Once we did order, the food arrived quickly and it was AMAZING. My parents and I love Indian food and have tried different restaurants all across the country -- this was some of the best we've ever had. The atmosphere was great too; it wasn't too crowded, it was decorated nicely, and i... read more
Best Indian Food in OC – I have been going to Royal Khyber for over 10 years. I tried a lot of others but keep going back to Royal Khyber, regreting that we tried others. It does cost a little more, but it is very worth it. Never tried the buffet, so can't comment on that. Were going again on Friday. Can't wait!
