Royal India Catering & Grocery Inc

"They have good Malayali (Kerala, India) food. I ordered by phone, picked up in person. It is a clean well run place. The food is tasty. The portions are really good. The food is freshly made. Prices are reasonable. The people are friendly. *Update* I continue to order from here regularly and the quality and service is consistent. Home cooked taste."

"Best place to get Kerala Malayali food in the area. They serve Kerala food on Fridays and weekends. They can even make custom orders for you and get things from Kerala for you"

"This is authentic Malayali food from Kerala, and it’s so delicious. We have ordered from here around 5 times and every time it is super stellar! The boneless chicken biryani has loads of chicken and was mouth-wateringly good. The cutlets are to die for and the delivery was perfect. So glad we found this place, can’t wait to order again!"

"Honestly, I am not prefer to buy from here. When I order for catering, they change the price. When in explained the given price details. Then then changed. Also some food is not fully cooked. In kappa biriyani, I’m not seen the beef in kappa biriyani. That’s horrible. Even my timing is 3.30pm for pickup. My brother waited almost 2 hours. Our event till 7pm. Truly so bad for this catering. And so attitude people."

"So this review is for foodies who are interested in trying Indian food unlike anything you'd ever find at any local Indian restaurants (not even in Edison/Parisappany/Jersey City!). The cuisine is from Kerala, a small state at the southern tip of India. The people are known as Malayalees as the language they speaking is Malayalam. Royal India is as authentic as it gets when it comes to Kerala cuisine - as evidenced by their appearance at all the big church and home church and home celebrations in our community. Unlike other parts of India - meat is a big part of Kerala cuisine - including fish, pork, and even cows. Kerala food is also unique given its incorporation of coconut and heavy on spices. Its always a little intimidating ordering from an ethnic store, myself included given my poor mastery of Malayalam, but you can order take out online from their website and they have contactless curbside pickup. To those who want to give it a try here are a few recommendations: - If you can deal with fiery foods, be sure to try the Pork Roast. I want to reiterate that it is VERY spicy, but the flavors are off the charts. This is the house specialty as I've never not seen this dish at an event they've catered. - Get a few Parotta's to eat the pork roast with. Its completely different from a roti - soft layers that come apart in your hand - Cutlet - kerala's version of an empanada. Fried and breaded patties stuffed with chicken and spices. - Chilly Chicken - the original Indian-Chinese fusion dish. Much milder than the name suggests and honestly tastes like it could've come from a Chinese restaurant."
