India is the birth place of Chicken Tikka Masala and Curries. Indian foods are prepared with a blend of finely mixed spices quite popular across the region. The spices develop the rich taste in Indian food enough to boggle your mind.

This place is moderish Indian, the restaurant looks beautiful and the food is tasty. The downside is the price, for the high price Basmati is the India place to go for upper scale Indian If they would do better on the prices I would eat here a lot more.

The best in Annapolis. Coincidentally, I had been to another location owned by the same team several years ago. The food is very good to excellent with very courteous service We were actually excited to see the staff. :) Try the coconut shrimp or, oh, just about anything. It's all good. Also, for lunch they have a lunch buffet.

4.5 Food 5 Ambiance 4 Service 4.5 Cleanliness "Wow, spotless!?" I can get down with a restaurant that's been open for four months already and still remains spotless. Not to mention the food is incredible here. Love the decor as well. What I tried/ordered/tasted: 5 Samosa Chat 5 Vegetable Biryani 4.5 Yellow Daal 5 Plain Naan 4 Garlic Naan (Where's the garlic, people!?) 4 Rosemary Naan (not as good as I thought it would be) The server was descent. He had a group of nine of us to serve, which I know can be overwhelming and hard to manage, but there was a really long period of time between our appetizer orders taken and us waiting on dinner choices to be heard. At least it felt like a long time while I watched the seven of the nine of us raving about the beer and wine while taking 'em back at a rapid pace in my face. Overall, I loved the cleanliness, but they could've touched up the restroom a little as there were paper towels all over the floor and over the course of 2 1/2 hours, I used it twice ( it stayed the same ). I loved the minimalistic and modern Eastern decor, peacocks, gods and mythical characters methodically placed over most of the tables. I was also very fond of the hand painted Ganesh on the way out the door. Good stuff! Would I come back for more!? Definitely! (Maybe in a smaller group) Oh and... Their medium spicy is on the hotter side (for all you wimps like me out there!)
(4)Cody T.
As far as Indian restaurants are concerned this is perhaps my favorite. It's hard for me to find a restaurant that takes me at face value when I ask for it as spicy as it gets, but these guys delivered. The lamb vindaloo was stellar and I was really impressed by the heat. My girlfriend got her staple dish, the butter chicken, and she loved it! That would have been enough for a four star review, but then we happened to be there when a trained belly dancer took to the floor to provide entertainment while we were eating! What a show! I was really impressed, and the night kept getting better with great desserts and all at a very reasonable price. Suffice it to say that we've found the Indian restaurant we love most in Annapolis, and this is where we will be going henceforth. I highly recommend it to those who enjoy this cuisine!
(5)Andy M.
Everything an Indian restaurant should be. First, of course, is the food. Consistently superb. The restaurant is a family affair, and the TLC they put into their dishes is evident every time I visit. Second, the staff--- theyll begin with the typical genteel, respectful air that you're familiar with at a traditional Indian restaurant, but after being recognized as a regular, you'll get to know that they're some pretty good people. My wife and I agree that the staff is what really draws us back there. Wait... maybe it's the food? Maybe I don't agree with myself. To top everything off there's an awesome painting of Lord Ganesh above the main door, who is clearly the coolest deva out there, and there's Bollywood playing all the time on the projector screen. Truly, what else can you want? As far as I'm concerned, the only reason this place isn't bursting at the seams with customers is because it's slightly off the beaten path. Half of me wishes they'd move closer to downtown where they'd get the recognition they deserve... the more selfish half is perfectly fine with it staying somewhat a secret so snobby tourists etc steer clear. Above all else, the place seems to be very focused on the customer, and they go out of their way to ensure you have no less than a great experience there. Whether that's altruism at work or just good business sense--- well I have my biased opinion, but whatever the case may be, they definitely have me hooked. For quite a long while I've roamed around the Annapolis/BWI area testing out different Indian places, but I don't do that anymore.
(5)Jenny C.
Food (3.5/5): Some hits and some misses. I highly recommend their oven baked naan, especially the garlic one. Direct oven to table, still hot when we got it. I wasn't too impressed with their Indian Chinese Fusion menu. The chili chicken tasted like general tso's chicken. The lamb saag could have been more tender, but the spinach that came with it was excellent. Huge portions and great prices though Service (5/5): Attentive service throughout. Plates were cleared right away and our water glasses never ran empty. Overall, if I am in the mood for Indian food and in Annapolis, I would not hesitate to go back.
(4)Scott G.
The restaurant is pleasant and the decor clean and tasteful. The cost is good per person. I had the samosa chat appetizer which was very nice, but when it came to the entree the chicken curry was a little flavorless. I got the medium and maybe spicier would have more flavor but it's certainly easy to add flavor without heat. The basmati rice was fragrant and the garlic naan very good. A nice restaurant that deserves a chance.
(3)Ilona K.
Great food and excellent service. Will definitely return when I'm in the area.

This new Indian spot in Annapolis is off to a great start. Used the livingsocial voucher with no issue. I was the only diner at 5pm. The decor and atmosphere are beautiful and not overdone. The man I'm assuming is the manager/owner is extremely friendly, the waiter (dont remember the name) was outstanding, and explained the dishes perfectly. You are given papadums with 3 different chutneys similar to how you are given tortillas and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. A light, "welcome" starter. Lamb vindaloo: Good, lamb was cooked pretty well, sauce was spicier than what I've had before, but still maintained what i'm assuming is the right flavor profile. But very spicy. Took more than half of this home 4 out of 5 stars Garlic naan: yum yum yum yum yum. Fluffy, good amount of chopped garlic made it insanely flavorful. I dont think garlic naan gets any better than this. 5 stars Rose Ice cream: I was informed this was made in-house. I could tell as the consistency was a little ...inconsistent, but not enough to spoil this beautiful ice cream. The "rose" flavor is present, but in no way overpowering. It was a nice end to my spicy meal. 4 stars. Strawberry lassi just tasted like strawberry yogurt (which i guess it IS, duh) Maybe I just prefer mango. I left very full and very satisfied. I will return next week to try their lunch buffet. At which time i may be able to give 5 stars if the quality remains consistent.

This weekend I finally got to try Royal Karma. What a delicious treat that was! I had purchased a LivingSocial a few weeks ago, AFTER hearing many good things so was anxious to try. This place does not have a liquor license yet. Major bummer but I know they're working on it. I swear I'm not a closet alcoholic I just enjoy an adult bevvy with my dinner dates. I digress. The place is gorgeous! Really big for what it looks like on the outside. The décor is modern, and the ceilings are high which gives a huge impact when you walk in. They have these gorgeous sparkly chandeliers. We went on a Saturday night and it wasn't busy at all. We got a corner booth. There were a few other couples there, and some small families. The place was quiet but not too quiet. Enough space between tables that you can carry on a private conversation if you wanted to. The service was spectacular. We were never ignored. We were almost taken care of too well. Our water was never below and inch under the rim. They were very on top of that. We ordered a Meat Samosa for an appetizer which came out almost instantly! They are QUICK. Appetizer was good. There seems to be SO many things on the menu. I noticed a lot more than I'm used to at other Indian restaurants. Our go-to's are usually Chicken Tikka and Butter Chicken. We ordered one Chicken Tikka (ya know I mean you got to try it everywhere to judge who's is the best) and the Chicken Balti. The extra veggies grabbed my eye as I always feel I leave Indian restaurants just having meat and sauce. We ordered both meals "medium". Well, let me tell you - Medium is HOT. If you don't like much spice at all I definitely wouldn't get the medium. I was drinking so much water it was great they were so quick to replenish. Both entrees were perfect. The sauces on both were fantastic. I will definitely be back, and SOON! The food is affordable, fresh, the service is outstanding. All they need now is my wine :)
(5)Lalit S.
Lovely place... Great Owner...Prem ...very good buffet... Tasted authentic.... Fresh Naan...three chicken dishes five or six veg choices... Two desserts... Accommodated the fresh chillies and raw onions demands... Great job...:) also gave us garlic Naan to take back to hotel...very generous... Loved the Lunch...Enjoy...:)
(5)Rob B.
A wonderful new addition to the ethnic dining scene in Annapolis. While the location is a bit off the path, the decor and atmosphere as well as staff, are delightful. Most notable from the competition are the reasonable prices, We carried home 3 entrees, two breads and a mango chutney for under $55. Raita was included as were wonderfully prepared rice accompaniments for each entree. While all was delicious, I think some fine tuning of the recipes may be in order. Naan was bit under done and lacking. Chicken Tika a bit under seasoned.
(3)Dave S.
We made our first visit to Royal Karma for dinner last night. We were very pleased. The service was attentive without being cloying and the kitchen was first rate. We shared a Tandoori mushroom dish for an appetizer with the crackers and sauces that are complementary. We shared lamb vindaloo and chicken kadhai with garlic naan and raiti. I agree with other reviews that Royal Karma's version of "medium" is a little spicier than the norm. We thought it was excellent. Too often spice is hot for its own sake; here the spice is part of the flavors. It is really great! Prices are reasonable. The ambiance is quite pleasant. We will return.
(4)Kim W.
Not so great. I ordered carry out on a slow Tuesday evening and they charged me for naan but did not put it in the bag. The shell of the samosas was a little too lard like tasting. Won't go back. Oh I have tried calling them 4 times to let them know about the missing naan and their phone is not working either.
(2)Andrew C.
My wife and I have been here several times and really enjoy the food and the service. I've been working my way up their "spice levels," and found my level to be "very spicy," which is just short of the highest, "fiery." I order the British invaded muligatawny for an appertizer and lamb saag with the keema naan (lamb-filled naan) for my usual meal. It's been great every time, and again, the servers are very friendly and attentive. Hoping to make it out there for the lunch buffet one of these days.
(5)Zaina- B.
Where to begin? Excellent decorations, succulent food, and great service. So glad we found this place. We were worried we'd have a tough time finding ethnic food after moving to Annapolis. Also, kudos to Francis, our server (2 times). He was super attentive and helpful. Hands down 5 stars and I don't give those easily to Indian restaurants
(5)Nadia M.
Food was good but I am use to Indian food. The atmosphere and decor was remarkable. Not too impressed with the food. It was average and I got pretty sick after eating it even though my friends were fine.
(4)Nancy A.
Service was terrible. Just really disjointed. This place is on the smaller side and there were 4 waiters milling around and 2 decided to bus 2 tables before even acknowledging us sitting at a table waiting. I wanted this place to be great and it just wasn't. I believe the food is from a more Northern Indian influence, if that means anything to you. The garlic naan was outstanding. I wish I had a better service experience.
(2)Manjusha B.
Visited the restaurant over a weekend. Ambience is great. Friendly people and great service. The itme son the menu din look sufficient and great. Naan, palak paneer, rice pudding, butter chicken was good. The palak pakoras were salty and not hot, similarly the baturas. Did not taste fish korma chicken curry and shrimp. Must try tea at this place. Lemon rice was just not cooked properly. Not much options.Overall decent one
(3)Nancy T.
Hidden gem. Wish I knew about this restaurant sooner. The vegetable samosa is so good! The potatoes and peas are flavorful and dense inside a perfectly crispy flaky pastry. I ordered chicken vindaloo and was really surprised at the quality of the chicken. It was moist and fell apart.. Not chewy like I guess I have gotten used to from other spots..This place sets the standard. The flavors were sophisticated and quite enjoyable. Staff was friendly, helpful, and brought great service. So happy with our visit, side note had cool atmosphere decorations, and silverware and plates were a quality you don't see often. 5 of 5 absolutely.
(5)Christian M.
The good part: the food here tastes really good and the people that work here are really nice. The restaurant is kind of in a weird strip mall and out of the way, but it's cozy and nice inside. The bad: don't order online via GrubHub. It's terrible. To have it delivered or pick up has been painful two out of three times. Missing items, late delivery, and just irritation that needs not exist. Try calling direct for better luck. I'm going to try to calm down after my latest order debacle.
(3)Chris P.
Worth pulling off 50 for. Mixed reviews abound here...but our experience was one of attentive service, robust genuine portions with kick-ass flavors served in a spotless and relaxing escape. Don't let the outside strip mall facade dissuade you, it's a taste treat awaiting. I really wish these people the best success.
(5)Bob C.
Great food and service. Chill environment. Awesome place to find close to my hotel! I got the butter chicken, whole wheat Naan and rasmalai and all were really good.
(4)Charmaine R.
We randomly stopped here for dinner as we saw it was new, it had decent reviews and there was a yelp $20 for $10 deal :) Our waiter was Francis and he was very attentive and friendly. The food was good, definitely recommend the curried lamb special.
(4)Jennifer S.
Surprisingly good. There were many choices on the menu including some of my favorites, and even though I ordered for pickup only, the staff was very nice. The food was quite good. Not sublime or perfect, but quite good - everything was on target. I thought it was a good value for the money, and portions were generous. I ordered the food as "spicy for Maryland but mild for India" and got the right amount of spice in my food. The pakora were as good as any that I had in West Bengal and the raita was as it should be. The chicken tikki masala was spiced well, but the chicken could have been a little more tender. I am pleased to find some decent ethnic food in town because it's a rarity around here. I'll be back again - thank you Royal Karma.
(4)Matthew L.
Excellent, all the way around. We went for dinner and had a soup, two entrees, a side of Indian pickles, and nan. Francis, our waiter, was great. He provided some excellent advice on how NOT to eat the pickles. He was spot on. I've never had pickles like that -- excellent WITH THE FOOD. It was not busy the night we went, and we received attention from several of the staff. The menu is extensive and seemed authentic, although I wouldn't really know. But I've been eating Indian food for almost 40 years and had some new dishes tonight. I'm going to have to try the buffet next. Overall, i couldn't have asked for anything more.
(5)Mark S.
One star because I can't leave a zero. Food is excellent. Service is abysmal. If "frank" is your waiter please get up and leave. Consistently rude and screwed up our order. This is the second time this happened - shame on us for coming back. Take your business to basmati about a mile away.
(1)Sharon N.
Purchased a living social deal for this place and it was so worth it! Delicious food, good service, moderate price, nice atmosphere. Seriously, what else can you ask for? I can't wait to go back.
(5)Jennifer C.
The food was absolutely fabulous - lots of flavor, a great selection no matter what your preferences are, and everything was spiced perfectly. The menu prices were budget friendly and the portions are large so we walked away with plenty for our next meal. The staff was extremely friendly and made you feel like you were an old friend. Can't wait to return!
(5)Don M.
Very good addition to the local scene! Extensive menu. Service was great on my visit. Will be back with others to try more of the menu. Biryani was superb.
(4)Rj J.
This is the best Indian food my wife and I have had...Period We are both of Indian descent, and are pretty tough critics of good, quality Indian food. This is as authentic, tasty, and flavorful Indian food that you will get. Both Vegetarians and Non-vegetarians will have amazing options. They do not drown their food in sugar and cream, so you can actually taste the flavor of the food. The staff and service are top notch. It has our strongest recommendations
(5)Dino T.
Don't be fooled by the outside! It is in a strip mall, but it deserves a much grander building. Once inside, you may notice a smile that does not leave your face. This is because of the chill atmosphere and friendly service (shoutout to Jay). The atmosphere as a whole was great too, the restaurant was clean, and the bathrooms were very well kept. I would recommend coming here with an empty stomach, because the food (traditional northern Indian with fusion dishes) was ON POINT. I have lived in NY city and no place I have gone has even come close to the new standard that this piece of gold has set. Try the palek paneer (a classic. Not too spicy and not bitter at all), the coconut shrimp (the most amazing I've had in my life), the mango lassi (this really does not need explaining), and the rice pudding (kulfi-esque, SO GOOD). The one thing that you MUST get is the garlic naan, it took my breath away (I'm not even kidding). Overall this place made my life. I will never eat at any other Indian restaurant again. *drops mic*
(5)Raul M.
I had lunch buffet on weekday. Let me begin with things which I didn't like FOOD. Less items, spice level is 2 (which is good) but the dishes are missing the authentic taste or masala. There was vada but I guess people eat vada(Indian Dougnut) with Sambhar or some chutney, nothing was there only vada, probably left over from last night. Out of those buffet items dessert and Indian Chai was good. Two star is for there good service, cleanliness and ambience. Again if you want to eat authentic Indian food then try some another place.
(2)Harrison B.
My new favorite Indian spot in town. Great menu and delicious food. The decor is stylish, modern, and has an almost brooding look to it (lots of black and red with a very intense Ganesh painted above the door). The staff are very friendly and quick to fill up your water glass. Best lunch buffet I've ever experienced. Lots of dishes, all of them different and all of them good. Go to Royal Karma and go often!
(5)Steve N.
Great food and service. Had chicken tikka masala and chicken sag. Both were great. Good service - they really wanted to please.
(4)Kendra G.
Great food and great service. The buffet and to order service is great. The chicken tikka masala is my all time favorite and this place passes the test. Also, this restaurant is very clean, dim lighting, & private seating.
(4)Ellen K.
We've eaten at this great Indian restaurant on many occasions and every time we've had a 5 star experience. Rather than describe every dish that we've eaten, I'd like to focus more on what's so consistent that makes them 5 stars. The service is always exemplary, no matter which waitstaff you have, in fact they all assist each other. Their selection of appetizers is uniquely imaginative. The interior decor is beautifully welcoming. Every main dish can be ordered to the "spice level" of your preference. Their naan breads are fantastic, especially love the onion kulcha. I'm a lover of lamb, and all their lamb dishes are delicious, although I like the Saag and Korma Kashmira the best (the lamb has always been very tender). Their take on hummous is a bit different, but nonetheless quite delectable, especially with the table hard bread. This is the 3rd Indian restaurant in Annapolis and I really want to see them make it as I believe that they are much better than the others in town.
(5)Clare M.
Great Food and Great Service! We stopped in at 6 pm on a Saturday evening, and were greeted warmly. We didn't have reservations but were immediately shown to our choice of table. The decor is inviting with warm yellow and orange highlights, and two fantastic chandeliers that really enhance the space by minimizing the high ceilings, creating a cozy atmosphere. Don't judge a book by its cover; the strip mall exterior gives way to a lovely interior. We had the vegetable appetizer sampler, shrimp tikka masala, and a black dal with red beans dish from the vegetarian selection with an order of Kashmiri naan. The entrees come with pilau rice as well. We were given the choice of hotness for the two entrees; I really liked being able to customize the dish to our taste. All of the dishes were excellent, full of fantastic layers of flavor, and spiced perfectly. There were three of us, and the ample portions left us all completely full. Our server was really wonderful. He was very attentive, checked back with us after each course was served, filled waters without prompting, asked for drink reorders as needed, and was generally on top of the whole service. I really liked the way he asked before removing dishes from the table, to make sure we were finished with whatever it was he was clearing. This was one of the best services I've experienced. I highly recommend trying Royal Karma, and am looking forward to trying their lunch buffet.
(5)Kathy R.
We have been avid fans of Royal Karma since they opened. Their Indian food is the best in Annapolis, their staff is helpful and always have a smile. And, their lunch buffet is varied and delish.
(5)mari d.
Terrific, sophisticated atmosphere. Friendly staff. Delicious authentic Indian food. Serve cocktails but they are a tad expensive and weak. Otherwise, we love it.
(4)Judy O.
Best Indian restaurant in the Annapolis area by far! The lunch buffet is 7 days a week and is a real bargain. The food is really high quality. The service is friendly and efficient. We have been 6 or 7 times and have never been disappointed.
(5)Tara B.
Delicious food and wonderful service. I have been to the lunch buffet twice and have not been disappointed by the food taste and quality as well as wonderful service by two different employees. I will definitely be back and recommend this place to others.
(5)Jennifer B.
I first saw this place when we stayed at the hotel across the street, but didn't try it right then. About a week later we were back in Annapolis for something else, and remember wanting to try this place. At first, I just liked the name, lol. The location is odd as it's in a business park, but don't let that deter you! Went in for lunch and they had a buffet. As many probably know, Indian buffets can be a hit or a huge miss. This, was a hit!! They offered so many different wonderful dishes to try and did not skimp on anything! Once we sat down, our waiter came over and offered us ice water. The waiter was so friendly and kept our water full all the time. They had only been open for about a week he said and we complemented him on everything. Some of the things we enjoyed: paalak paneer, chicken tikka masala, some kind of lamb dish, veggie biryani, samosas and something like butter chicken but with a different name. EVERYTHING was delicious. At the end of the meal the waiter said we must try the chai and desserts. OMG--the chai was so good, we had about 3 cups each. The dessert, which I forgot the name of, is a yogurt/cheese type dish that literally brought tears to my bf's eyes because he said it tasted just like his mom's! The decor is beautiful and the service was amazing--even during the buffet. The owner/manager (?) came over towards the end and asked how everything was, and we also told her how great everything was. I cannot wait to go back.
(5)Jazmine P.
My husband and I LOVED this restaurant! We were on our way to grab Thai food but stumbled upon this place. We got the samosa chat, lamb korma, and saag paneer. Each dish was delicious and flavorful. I enjoyed it more than the other other Indian restaurants in Annapolis. But what really won us over was the service provided by our waiter Francis. He was very charismatic and friendly. He checked on us frequently, made special requests for us, and treated us to a unique and delicious dessert. Because of him we are definitely coming back!
(5)Oneme F.
This was our first visit to Royal Karma. The décor was beautiful, the food was fantastically fresh & authentic, and Jay was a top-notch server...one of the best we've encountered. He was personable, engaging, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome. He is the reason that our 4 star rating was raised to 5 stars. We'll be back!
(5)Joni F.
What a gem of a restaurant in Annapolis! Although, no liquor license yet, the food was some of the most authentic Indian food that I have eaten in a long time! Very good portion sizes, a delightful staff, ask for Jay! Hand painted walls, lovely ambiance, this is a must for people who want a great meal! We stayed across the street when the restaurant was only open for 2 weeks. this place should do very well in the future!
(5)Julia H.
Great new Indian spot in annapolis. Disappointed there was no alcohol available (though that's supposed to be in the works) Had veggie somosas which were good. Ordered lamb vindaloo and goat biryani for entrees. Enjoyed both and had tons of leftovers (literally 4 servings in the biryani!) also an order of plain and garlic naan. Nice atmosphere. Will visit again, after they can serve a king fisher with dinner!
(4)John A.
Would rather be praising a new place in Annapolis that rises above the all too much restaurant mediocrity that abounds in this town. Came away disappointed. Will not return. Someone posted that have to try the coconut shrimp. Simply awful is the more accurate description. The tasteless butterflied shrimp were breaded and small with all of the appearance of being the crummy frozen things sold in the freezer section of grocery stores that are to be fried and served. Which these were. With some sauce and coconut on top. Yuck. Two people raved about the garlic naan. Nothing to rave about. Period. Went out with the sampler of various versions of chicken and these sausage looking things that were perhaps ground lamb shaped into hot dog form? The dish came on a sizzling platter with meats atop peppers n onions. The latter would have been worthwhile had it not continued to cook at the table till overdone. Overall the dish was ok. Won't return. Which may explain why all but three of the tables were empty that evening.
(2)Sara P.
Got the Gobi Vegetable medium spicy to go. It was ready quickly, "plated" nicely, packaged securely, and tasted delicious. Will keep this place in mind for a date night.
(5)Jimmy L.
Fantastic new Indian restaurant in Annapolis. Excellent lunch buffet!
(5)David M.
My wife and I had the pleasure recently of dining at the newest Indian restaurant in Annapolis, and during the meal enjoyed the best rogan josh (lamb curry) that we've had in the last five or six years. We plan to eat there often. Kudos to the cook and owners!
(5)Mr J.
Cheap buffet with the basics; the options were limited. Reasonable prices for buffet dishes that lacked complexity. Atmosphere was okay, however you feel like you're in a former warehouse given the mammoth ceilings. Again, quick and inexpensive sterno warmed Indian, but don't expect any rich flavor profiles. Good service, no wait, and clean.
(3)Pat S.
Wonderful food. Manager very hospitable ... No note driving to Columbia for good Indian foody
(5)KM S.
Went here for dinner tonight and immediately felt compelled to write a 5 star review. We went here off a living social deal and definitely plan to return when we want Indian. Food was very good. We had 2 lamb dishes and the lamb was tender and spiced nicely. Garlic nan was also delicious. Service was some of the best that we have had in a long time. Would definitely recommend.
(5)Mark M.
Great place for the traveler or the local. Food was excellent, tasty and spicy. Staff was great and attentive. Will make it a regular on each trip.
(5)Kilgore H.
A terrific Indian alternative and probably the best of the three Indian places in Annapolis, at least for the lunch buffet. My wife, our children, and I enjoyed the latter at Royal Karma earlier this afternoon. The very pleasant and attentive staff continually kept our glasses full (an important detail for me) and served up new baskets of fresh naan just as the previous ran out. The restaurant provided no fewer than eight vegetarian and meat curry options on the buffet, including a delicious rogan josh of baby goat, and all were savory and fresh. Goodness knows I tried them all abundantly. I was personally gratified that several of them, including the fish and vegetable korma, were surprisingly and deliciously spicy, which isn't typical of buffet Indian fare. The place is tastefully and understatedly decorated, and clean and comfortable - which, if you're a patron like me of some of Baltimore's seedier Indian joints, is no small relief. The total bill, which included a mango lassi (without ice, as we requested) and sparkling water, came in at an underwhelming $32....a damned good deal when you consider the good quality of the food and the fact that I ate my body weight.

I had the lunch buffet. It had a good variety of food, plus chai. However, I wish they labeled the dishes so I know what I liked. This most authentic Indian food in the area. It has the proper spices true Indian cuisine should have. I was too full to try the desserts...I hope they have gulab jamon next time I go.

Decided to venture out in the Annapolis area to find ethnic cuisine so I choose to use my Yelp to assist me and I'm glad I did. Royal Karma was absolutely delicious!! My server was so particular about getting our order correct and his service was perfect! The cuisine was exactly what I was looking for, spicy ( but not too spicy as my server suggested I choose Medium as opposed to Hot Spicy for my Indian Dishes ) flavorful, somewhat fruity, just the right portion sizes, and beautifully tasty! This was my first time visiting and my friends and I used the Online Yelp discounts that the restaurant offered. There was a few bumps when we wanted to use more than one coupon but a wonderful young lady came to our table very politely to rectify the situation. This was my first time at this very new restaurant but it will not be my last! My friends and I very much enjoyed ourselves! I unfortunate can not remember our servers name ( sorry ) but the young man was wonderful!! Great job Royal Karma!

Ellen and I both enjoy Indian food. We were not disappointed. The wait staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The food was fresh and properly prepared. The variety of different Indian cuisines made the evening more adventuresome. The hot tandoori prepared vegetables were accompanied by a hummus sauce that was cool (temperature), a nice contrast and something we had not had before. The owner came over to chat with us which made the experience more memorable.

I've had two take-out meals, my wife and I were really pleased to finally have some really good Indian food in Annapolis. Lamb and chicken were perfectly seasoned and cooked. They ask you what level of seasoning/heat you'd like and they make it accordingly. Naan and Raita couldn't have been better. I only wish it were less expensive, but I wouldn't want to sacrifice the quality of the food to lower the cost. The decor sets a fine dinner-mood, and is nicely done.
