WHAT TO ORDER AT THE ROYAL INDIAN CURRY HOUSE: Highly recommended Authentic Indian Restaurant in Boracay

WHAT TO ORDER 
AT THE ROYAL INDIAN CURRY HOUSE:
Highly recommended Authentic Indian Restaurant in Boracay

Everytime we go to Boracay, we usually visit Truefood, our favorite Indian restaurant. Sadly, it closed in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. We're back in Boracay this year. And while walking along Station 1, we stumbled upon Royal Indian Curry House. We couldn't resist trying it. We saw a lot of Indian customers eating in the restaurant. So we figured it must be good. 

We ordered the Murg Tikka Butter Masala (describe as a succulent chicken tikka cooked in tomato and onion and onion gravy), the Hyderabad biryani (the incomparable hyderabadi rice Delicacy of cubes and rib chops of lamb cooked with basmati on dum) and palak paneer (cottage cheese cubes cooked with spinach). For drinks, we had mango lassi and classic sweet lassi.

We love the food! The flavors were subtle and complex. Simply put, if we had more time in Boracay, we'll go back to this restaurant to try the other dishes. There were plenty dishes in the menu. But we wanted to satisfy our cravings for the usual food we order at Truefood like their chicken tikka masala, biryani and palak paneer so we ordered almost the same the same thing at R.I.C.H. Their acronym is apt. Rich in taste and flavor.

Hope you get to try it too!





The food we ordered were actually good for 3 people.
