Why it matters
Why Royal Indian Curry House is worth your time
For Indian visitors, Poblacion is a good place to find familiar breads and North Indian gravies late in the evening, which is useful after a late arrival. The restaurant has more than 2,500 Google reviews listed on Spinach, which points to steady custom.
Its value is in range rather than strictness: a group can order vegetable and meat dishes at one table. Strict vegetarian and Jain families should still choose an all-vegetarian kitchen.

How to experience it
Treat it as an early dinner, before the Poblacion nightlife crowds arrive. Spinach lists naan, dosa, aloo jeera, aloo palak, baingan bharta and aloo gobi, as well as butter chicken, so there is a clear vegetable side to the menu.
Vegans should read its guidance carefully: only about two or three dishes suit them, with veg samosa, veg seekh kebab and aloo palak suggested, and staff may not be sure of ingredients, so ask about dairy and sauces. Cross-contamination is a concern on a meat-serving menu.
Order bread and rice to share, ask for spice level to be moderated, and expect a bill with VAT added to menu prices.
