Royal Khyber ............ A Journey for your palate and mind. The art of Indian cookery lies NOT in high spicing but in the delicacy of spicing. Indian cuisine is universally known for its distinctive flavorings. It was in fact the lure of these spices which first brought the British and the French, the Dutch and the Portuguese to the Indian coast. It is the use of selected spices in a particular manner (whole spices, ground and or spice blends) to bring out the dormant flavors of a dish, which is the real art, practiced by the experienced chefs in the Royal Khyber kitchen.



Royal Khyber is a Fine Indian Cuisine Restaurant, located in South Coast Plaza Village (across from Nordstrom).

    I had my birthday dinner here and it was such a lovely and cosy environment. The staff are very nice and informative as we had not had Indian cuisine before. It was a lovely night of comfort food and I plan to come more frequently.

    The most authentic North Indian food you will find. boating a new contemporary interior, the service is always amazing and the food is off the charts. We has starters, mains and 2 bottles of wine and we out of there for $70 a person. Great value, especially when you have enough leftovers for lunch the next day. If you appreciate indian food or want to have a flavourful, incomparable culinary experience - Book now at Royal Khyber.

    We have eaten many times over the last fifteen years and have always enjoyed the fine dining experience. We went on Saturday January 11th really enjoyed the food and the service was good. but did not like the refurbishment it has lost its fine dinning experience. The atmosphere was missing chairs too big for the size of the tables felt more like a chain restaurant. Would go back for the food.

    We went for dinner to celebrate our son's 24th birthday. We really liked everything. Service was great. Waiters were very nice and courteous. Food was amazing. This was our first time there, but definitely won't be the last time. We highly recommend it.
