Well, count 2 stars for the food, and 1 star for the warm service.
I am a Punjabi, but I was very disappointed with the food. Â The 1st time was when I ate here after a dinner at Arya Bhawan (because Arya Bhawan was so disgusting).
Tried Chole Bhatura (Punjabi speciality) - I have had better, the Bhatura were soggy and not crispy.
Tried Samosa, Tiki, etc, - Average and cold
Tried Dosa - That was the worst Dosa I have had in my life, as in seriously the worst
Tried Saag and Makki Roti - Saag was pretty good (not the best), but quite good, makki roti was also OK, given that it is very difficult to make this roti, it was very well made.
Tried various sweets: Pretty good, almost the same as Sukhadia, and at 2/3 the price.
Ambiance sucks as well.
This is a great place for picking up sweets or snacks, but not for dining, I dislike Sukhadia, most of us do, so this is a good substitute for sweets, is all this place is good for.
I thought the food here was pretty good, given what I was expecting before I even sat down. Â When we finally were able to get parking (I grew up having to deal with this issue on Devon,) I was ready for a huge masala dosa. Â The price was inexpensive, compared to other locations, and the dosa was crispy, but not overdone. Â The potatoes could have been more flavorful, but the chutney was tasty. Â It was a tad bit on the watery side, but it got the job done. Â I also appreciated the warm, spicy sambar. Â
Before we even sat down, there were only a couple of tables available. Â It's a small little snack shop. Â The table that we wanted was really dirty ( we made sure to clean up after ourselves once we were ready to head out.) Â Some diners can be so messy and rude. Â We ended up cleaning up the mess. Â I forgot my hand sanitizer and wanted to wash my hands. Â Of course, an old Indian man was in the gentleman's restroom for a good fifteen minutes, so I ran into the open ladies room! Â I'm confessing on Yelp. Â Don't hate me... Â The automatic dispenser wasn't working, which meant that I ended up feeling dirty after touching an already wet roll of paper on the side. Â Gross!
The service was friendly enough, the location is convenient, and there's a large variety of snacks and sweets. Â I appreciated the young guy getting me a to-go container for my sambar. Â Unfortunately, I have to take off another star because they completely got my dad's order wrong. Â At first, we weren't sure if it was for someone else due to their little calling system, but she had every intention of handing it to my dad. Â They really should use numbers and confirm that the order is correct.
If you don't go here expecting top-notch service and cleanliness, you're in for a pretty decent deal!
Yum.
I'm talking about the veg samosa's, the potato cutlets, the poori's and the dosa. Â Samosa is okay for the price, though not the best on Devon. Â I like dipping the samosas and cutlets in that purple colored sauce, I like to think of it as an Indian version of sweet and sour sauce. Â Most commonly made with tamarind but as of recently they have switched it to something sweeter. Â Bah. Please use tamarind chutney! Â (The stuff comes from plants commonly found in most backyards throughout India.)
Who tagged this place as a candy store? Â It's a snack shop, or quick stop for a meal on the go. Â On weekends they offer a veg buffet of appetizer items with dosa and assorted chutneys. Â It's good stuff and inexpensive.
Like bakeries in India, they sell assorted sweet and syrup treats made with ghee. Â Dry mix medleys both mild and spicy. Â Unfortunately for the bulk items, purchases must be made by the 1/2 pound. Â If getting ready made food, note that it's made daily in the morning and may sell out as the day progresses. Â Water is offered free and self serve with utensils. Â Royal also carries a few soda brands from the motherland, like Thumbs up.
Different people have different tasks here. Â So, say you order a chai it's important to remember they take time to make it and will serve it eventually, while you sit and eat. Â When it's ready, someone yells "chai" and leaves it on the counter. Â Go get it or lose it.
I was on Devon around 4:30 pm; too early for dinner, but too late for a lunch. So I stopped by in this place looking for some indian snacks. I got  Kachori (a deepfried ball of veggies), a samosa,and dabeli (a vegetarian potato burger). All three dishes were less than $5. The kachori and samosa were a very good deal at 65 cents each, but the dabeli burnt my mouth with all the pieces of fresh onion! My nose was dripping a lot and i hurriedly ordered a piece of burfi to quell the burning. Burfi was a bit powdery but ok. They have this, and many other sweets, for $5.99/lb.
The atmosphere in this place is very very quiet; almost dead. I just saw two russian guys playiing chess inside and a guy on his computer. No one was talking and no one was at the counter. It's not really a place I would hang out in, but good if you want a cheap snack or a quiet environment.
It's not worth even to spend time to write a review about this place,it sucks the sign board says, "FLUDA", i guess they don't what a Faluda looks like or tastes like, i was made to wait for 30 min and they gave me a milk shake with some S*** in it, Â please don't waste money and time on this place...
Review Source:While I actually enjoyed their food somewhat, their service is so exceptionally rude that I'm completely turned off of coming back here! We had just parked and asked for quarters (pre-card parking machines) and we were coming in here to eat and we did explain that, in fact even offered to have one person just stay in. The lady behind the counter still refused to help out with the quarters with a very impolite lengthy discourse on coins/change. There are one too many options on devon for chaat and sweets to put up with a put down!
Review Source:i've always loved my visits here. the prices are reasonable, too!
they're clean and in most of my visits, i've had friendly hosts.
the only thing thats a hassle is their credit card limit. its annoying on those days where you just wanna grab a samosa and run out, but can't because you dont have any cash on you. :(
last time i ended up buying more than i should b/c of this..ugh. but i always go back. :)
We really enjoyed our recent visit to Royal Sweets. Compared to the general chaos of similar (and older) chaat/sweets joint Sukhadia, that is located just a couple of blocks east of this place, Royal Sweets was an island of serenity and good service. Â We ordered Pani Puri, Aloo Chaat and Chai to snack on and took home Pista Burfi, Milk Cake and and a Sandesh. Â
Pani Puri was a good dish, although I felt it could have been more authentic: crunchy deep fried small pancakes, a handful of garbanzo beans and some chopped up boiled potatoes with Pomegranate chuntey. Â Spicy Coriander water was served on the side. Â To eat all of this, you break each puffy deep fried cake and fill it with potato/garbanzo bean mix and then pour water and pomegranate chutney inside. Â Each cake is bite sized and fits neatly in the mouth. Â It was fresh and very good.
Aloo Chaat was delicious! Â Although they used sweet potato which is strange because sweet potatoes are not very common in India, it was still very good and not greasy.
The sweets we purchased we ate at home: all sweets were not too dense and deliciously moist. Â
We will definitely come back for more soon!
