Reviews Royal Indianaa

One of those few places on my list that was saved up a long time ago and had the chance to visit after years. Located inside the Accord Hotel, Royal Indiana is one of those pure veg places that serve authentic veg starters, main courses, and desserts in buffet style. Some visit for their grand decor while others visit to try out the dishes of the renowned chef Venkatesh Bhat. 🤗 As you enter, valet parking takes care of the hassle and all we have to do is to reach L2 in the building. It is a quaint place with limited seating but the decor speaks for itself. It was classy, well-lit with South Indian embellishments and live Carnatic music to soothe our ears. The service was courteous with the team serving us a chocolate ganache on the house at the end owing to our special day. ❤️❤️ It was Nannari Sharbath for the welcome drink while Banana stem pepper chaaru for soup which was super smooth and very peppery. Moving on, it was Pumpkin Galouti Kebab with a burst of flavors all around Ajwani Paneer tikka - Super soft marinated paneer with an amazing aroma Kara paniyaram - Not the best but tender on the inside and went perfectly with the peanut chutney Veg cutlet - Beautifully minced veggies straight from the kitchen; had the perfect blend of sour and spice Pineapple porichadu - My sweet tooth cravings never stop; pineapple coated in sweet batter and glazed with sweet sugar syrup, this was crunchy, sweet, hot, and soft, PERFECT Corn adai - A bit plain from the corn but OK For the main course, we tried Bhat's special Sambar, Rasam, and Vendhaya Kozhambu. While the Sambar was so good, the rasam and kozhambu were out of this world. Soupy rasam and spicy kozhambu MUST TRY with their steamed rice Urulai veppudu - Well-fried potatoes sauteed in ground SI spices accompanied well with the rice and gravies Kothamira annam - Coriander flavored rice (variety rice), unique, and with the Gobi adraki (very soft and well cooked), this was pretty GOOD Subzi Biryani was full of aroma and fragrance from the authentic herbs; this bonded very well with the soupy Palak mushroom (Very healthy) To end up the meal with, it was Semiya custard payasam - OH WOW, not so sweet but so damn thick from the custard, AMAZING taste Chocolate Horlicks Mysore pak - Very buttery and sweet, though the flavor was not evident, this was soft and good Brownie - Couldn't believe that this was soft though it wasn't hot, Loved it Pineapple pastry - Puff pastry stuffed with sweet sauce and pineapple, not the best but OK Finally, the buffet price was a bit on the higher side but in recent times there are many coupons and offers everywhere which you could use to cut down a bit. 🥰🥰

Best Indian vegetarian buffet in town. Food was top notch and so the service. Jackfruit biriyani was too good. And so the desserts. There was a live light music which made the entire experience wholesome. Will definitely visit again.

Outstanding veg food with great spread. Icecreams were plain flavours with less toppings, we expected "creation icecreams" Spoons were not sufficient when we went for dining. The management should look into it next time . Otherwise a fantastic place for veg ppl

This is my first time at this restaurant. The food was extremely good and the reception was excellent. The silverware and the interior decor was good. The best part is the live music played. It was very peaceful. Must eat in plenty - Paneer starter Javvuarisi adai Dessert Ice cream

As the name states, the dining was indeed royal. The quality of the dishes are good and satiates the appetite. Food was very comforting even for elders. Good ambience and excellent service.

One of the best vegetarian buffet in Chennai. Hospitality was great and food was amazing. Had lot of starter options. Also had an opportunity to meet Venkatesh Bhat. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Awesome place and ambience...worth going there as food is very tasty and different types of dishes are there...Also its a combination of north Indian and south indian food. Staff is very supportive and they have even prepared separate jain starter and main course for my mother in law.

We visited Royal Indianaa for Dinner buffet in Dec 2023 and we thoroughly enjoyed the dine in experience. This is a pure vegetarian buffet menu and the spread is a balanced mix of South Indian and North Indian cuisine. The food taste was excellent, ambience was amazing and on the day we visited there was also live music and a magician. Service was exceptional and special mention to Dhanasekar for quick service and accommodating our bespoke requests. The buffet consists of soup, starters, main course, desserts, sharbat and golisoda. The highlight for me was chef's signature South Indian dishes like Royal Indianaa rasam, Arachu vitta sambar and the amazing spread of desserts both Indian and continental. I totally recommend this place for a nice evening out with family or to celebrate a special occasion with your loved ones.

I took my mother there for a special experience. It becomes difficult to take my mother to such 5-star dining places because she eats only in pure vegetarian places, so this was a refreshing new experience. The starters served were yummy! Finger licking good! The main course was all a little bland, dry. The desserts were again yummy! Maybe a little oversweet, I'd say. The ambience is that of royalty. The soft Carnatic music playing in the background is lovely! Altogether a fine experience. My mother was overjoyed! That's about all that really matters to me! :)
