Guess what? This place is another hidden gem. I love Indian food but find I get uneven results at the best of places. Sooooo I'm at the nephew's place and we are Covid conscious so it's take out and delivery when I come in town. This place was delish! We ordered Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken Kahari. OMG. We were blown away. Went to pick up after approximately 25 minutes and it was piping hot and the aroma was heavenly. Upon returning to his apartment..12 min travel time, it was still piping hot. Upon opening it up, it looked so tasty that it was with great gusto that we attacked our plates. Make sure to support this restaurant ..it's awesome sauce

Did a quick search for Indian food near me and this had the most stars so I placed an online order. Can you imagine my thoughts when I pull up and find out it's in a gas station, uh what have I done, right... but the food was REALLY good. It was not ready on time and the portion of rice was very small but it packed all the flavor. Surprisingly, will return!

Best Middle Eastern food I have tasted in Maryland. Don’t go by the looks, its a wonderful place with mouth watering cuisine. The staff was extremely courteous that added to the overall experience/ Would 5/5 recommend

Stopped here to try the Krispy Crunchy Chicken since I never get to try the ones in Raleigh NC when I visit my mom. I had just finished up inspecting a bridge and decided to try. I have to say this was the first time I actually threw fried chicken away after I bought it. The wing was good, but the breast was not. I'm giving one star for the food, for having to wait at the counter for service after the workers saw me come in, and for the dismissive attitude after saying thank you.

HIDDEN GEM! Don't let the fact that this restaurant operates out of a gas station throw you off! This is by far my favorite Indian restaurant in the gambrills/crofton/bowie area. (Yes, better than Namaste!) My favorite dishes are Chicken Tikka Masala, Samosas, Butter Chicken and Wings. We probably get takeout every other week and it never fails! Always consistent and huge portions.

I've ordered from this place twice. I use Door Dash so I can't speak to the atmosphere. However, the two meals I've gotten so far were amazing. I have gotten a lamb wrap, and a kabob with, lamb, chicken, and salmon. Both meals were excellent, lots of food for the price. I will put a spice warning. Their dishes have some heat.

This was by far the worst Indian I’ve ever had. The curry was thin and watery. I wouldn’t be surprised it if came from a can. The chicken was rubbery and tasted like it was microwaved. The nann was fine but that was about it.

The best Indian place around. It's low key, the food is always fresh and tasty, the menu had plenty of options for spicy and non-spicy eaters alike. We've not had a bad meal in the years we've been frequently ordering from them

Although I’ve only ordered via delivery, the food is good. However, after informing them that my Lamb Vindaloo dish contained chunks of potato (which was not reflected on the menu), they did not seem to care. Instead, the manager chose to recount how many pieces of potato he placed in my food, instead of addressing the fact that the menu doesn’t include potatoes in the list of ingredients, and the fact that I had more potato chunks than lamb chunks. After expressing my displeasure with my meal, there were no apologies, no refund, no discount…NOTHING. I’m disappointed with how they handled this matter, as I was looking forward to remaining a regular customer.

The food here is very authentic and delicious. entree came with a salad which is rare, the salad was good. I was weirded out at first cause its in a gas station, but its the cleanest gas station ever. Love this place

Even though this is not close to where I live, I have a regular appointment in the area and I enjoy picking up food here on my way home. They are always friendly and the food is always good even when I try different dishes depending on what I'm in the mood for that evening. It's also a large amount, so I'm never left hungry or needing more.

Favorite place!! We keep going back, super easy to pick it up, and the food is so delicious. We alwsays get a couple of different dishes, korma, tikka... cant go wrong! Everything is the best but our dishes yesterday had literally 3 bite-sized pieces of chicken each in a lot if sauce, had to eat the rice with the sauce after eating the bit lf chicken

By far the some of the best Indian food I have ever had! The chicken tikka masala had just the right spice and some great flavor! The chicken vindaloo was also spiced just right! Not only was the food amazing but the service was great! I would highly recommend!!

I got the butter chicken it was delicious. They also accommodate to vegetarian diet. the naan was amazing. Mango lassi was very rich. Friendly people working in there.

These people always make mistakes. Always missing items. People who works at royal kabob are slow and irresponsible. If you place an order through online platform, Uber or Grub-hub or DoorDash, they always make mistakes and make the driver wait long time. They don’t start preparing food till delivery drivers gets there. They don’t even know if they have an order for pick up till drivers tell them that they have pick up. They check their tablets after delivery driver asks them for pick up. That’s so bad. Food here is good but people work here is just bad

I love Indian food, and I'm always looking for a good place that can be a hidden gem, but this place is not one. I was only looking for good food since it had nice reviews. I felt the quantity was little, the meat was not tender, the rice was cold, and it seems it has been cooked for a while. It's not a place I would recommend.

Went here with relatively low expectations considering all circumstances of location. I didn’t expect A masterpiece however.. the service that I received from Everyone in the building was a 10/10.. and the dinner from the kabob restaurant was delicious. I picked up 2 Royal Kabob combos for my coworker and I, we both loved it. The rice pudding was also amazing I am looking forward to coming back, honestly. Glad to have found this little spot

Food was perfect, order was perfect and I had a very large order. Everything tasted so fresh. I have tired all the restaurants in this area and if you are craving are want to try Pakistani or Indian food, hands down Royal Kabab is the best.

I ordered large tray of Biryani, medium tray of fish Pakora, and small tray of chana (Chick Peas). The food is authentic and freshly made for my order. Small restaurant, but delicious food. For catering service, this place is a great option if you like authentic Pakistani/Indian food.

Flavor changes from month to month! Please follow a certain recipe! Old man makes the best biriyani.

This was some of the best indian food I’ve had in a long time!! Definitely recommend 🥰🥰

I typically do not like to complain. I ordered the eggplant in tomato sauce and received something totally different. There was no phone call to.see if I wanted to replace it. When I called I was told.that they no longer serve it that way. Well as a business owner I like to be made aware of changes. And I never want anything extra or for my inconvenience. I just want what I paid for,or the option to choose something else I would like and not what I am told I will eat. What if I had allergies? I will think 4 times before ordering again. It would be 1 thing if it only happened 1 or twice, but this is not acceptable. We spent $94.00. Do better

Food is average. Nothing too fancy or tasty. It is located at a gas station. Their butter chicken is better than other items. Naans are good too

i order butter chicken at indian restaurants because its not a spicy dish. the butter chicken i received was absolutely inedible. i can't do spicy foods and this was *bad*. not sure what they gave me, if it was actually butter chicken. i've never experienced that before with butter chicken. the portions are pretty small too for the price. i expected way more rice. the garlic naan was huge but not the most flavorful. not somewhere i'd order from again.

Royal Kabab is one of my friend's favorite places in the city so he chose to come here for his bday dinner. We got a few dishes to share for the table including paneer, biryani, tanodoori chicken and garlic naan. Everything tasted pretty good. It's a casual place to eat, you order at the counter and also grab your food from there so it's not waiter service.

Thanks to God(all praise is due to him!), the Royal Kebab’s the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever seen! It’s absolutely fantastic! THEY HAVE THE BST VEGGIE SAMOSAS I’VE EVER HAD! THE CRUST IS SO FLAKY IT JST MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH! THEIR MANGO LASSI, THEIR GARLIC NAAN, THEIR VEGGIE PAKORA, THEIR CHANNA MASALA, THEIR CHANBA SAAG, THEIR SPICY LENTILS & THEIR DAL MAKANI ARE ALL ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! THE SERVICE IS ALSO GRT & THE AMBIENCE IS REALLY INTIMATE! I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM TOO HIGHLY!! - GREG ANDERSON

I’ve eaten at Royal Kabab many times. Their food is flavorful. Their Naan bread is served perfectly done. Dal Makhani is excellent. Butter chicken is tasty. But let’s talk about the buildings and grounds — you will never guess that this restaurant serves the best Indian food tucked into a gas station/truck stop. I’m ok if you don’t eat at this restaurant— more for me! (Very good and super nice chef). Thank you Royal Kabab.

Ordered tonight. Meat is little to none, this place gave me 4-5 pieces of meat for $16. It was EXTREMELY salty. To the point where I took a few bites then had to throw it away. I got the lamb korma and it seemed like they cooked it with store bought salted cashews in a can and just dumped it into the sauce. (Which could be why it was so salty) Super disappointed. And if the restaurant responds yes, I am sure I have the correct place.

Comfort food at its best. Indian food is one of my favorites and I've eaten at so many places around the DMV area. There are so few places where the quality is constantly high and this is one of them. Don't be fooled by the quaint exterior, the food and service are excellent. I order either chicken or lamb biryani almost weekly because it's so delicious. The heat is moderate, the meat just melts in your mouth, the spices are numerous and well balanced, and the fresh veggies on top are an excellent addition for a flavor pop. The naan bread is always incredible. Soft and flavorful with browned bits cooked just right. It's always hot like it just came from the oven. My kiddos always get the chicken tikka masala and it never has too much heat and is always delicious. I asked my 10-year old, "Why do you like the tikka masala so much?" and he said, "I really like the tikka masala because it has a kick of spice, the chicken is really good, it goes well with the naan, and I really like the rice." What more can I say...

Excellent flavored flavored food. Vindaloo is super spicy and good. Portions are generous for the price. Naan bread is huge and delicious. Service from the guys there is friendly and outgoing. This is my Indian food go to.

The all time WORST food establishment I've ever been at.. The guy behind counter acted like he was on a menstrual cycle .. terrible attitude. He told me the food came with a salad and Naan bread , but when he brought the food it had neither. I ordered the lamb dish , but it didn't have any lamb.. only rice. The prices are higher than advertised. It shows lack of professionalism. I typically dont ask for my money back. But i couldnt bring myself to pay for it... i had to get a refund. total waste of time . Please AVOID this establishment..

It was our first time trying Royal Kabab, and all I can say is I'll go back for their delicious menu. The goat was so tender and juicy and full of flavors.

I had the Bihari chicken. It was the most tender chicken I have ever had! Not one single piece of bad texture chicken in this dish. Please don’t stop making it like this!!!
