Royal Indian Cuisine Albany occupies a compact Albany address on Dairy Flat Highway, serving a menu built for both a seated meal and food collected or delivered at home. The range is unusually broad, moving from familiar North Indian curries into tandoori cooking, street snacks, dumplings and Indo-Chinese dishes. That breadth makes the restaurant useful for mixed groups: one table can share small plates before choosing among grilled meats, vegetarian curries, rice dishes and noodles.
The opening section is designed for passing plates around. Samosa chaat, onion bhaji and kathi rolls sit alongside chicken lollipop and chicken 65, while the tandoor produces chicken tikka, green-herb hariyali tikka, seekh kebabs, paneer tikka, fish and prawns. These dishes bring together crisp fried textures, cooling chutneys, smoky marinades and char from the clay oven, creating a lively first course rather than a token selection of appetisers.
Curries form the centre of the menu, with distinct routes through poultry, lamb, goat, seafood and vegetables. Chicken taka tak and garlic chicken offer alternatives to butter chicken, jalfrezi and korma, while lamb can be ordered as rogan josh, saagwala, bhuna, Madras or vindaloo. Fish and prawn curries broaden the seafood choice, and the vegetarian side is substantial enough to stand on its own through paneer preparations, lentil dals, chickpeas, okra and vegetable curries.
Momos give the meal another direction, with vegetable, chicken and goat fillings appearing steamed, fried, tandoori or dressed in Manchurian sauce. The Indo-Chinese section continues through chow mein, fried rice and soups, while biryani and Indian breads provide more traditional accompaniments for the curries. It is a menu that rewards exploration across styles, whether the order centres on a tandoori platter, a dumpling spread or a curry-and-rice dinner.
