New Management!!! New Authentic taste, warm hospitality, and a beautifully spiced menu that truly brings out the essence of Indian cuisine. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the portions generous. Highly recommend Mutton Biryani it was perfectly cooked! The ambiance is inviting, and the service was attentive throughout. Definitely one of the better Indian food experiences I've had in the city

Our office absolutely loves this place. We went for lunch as a small group and loved the authenticity of the dishes and the service so much, we brought the whole office which the new owner Faizan was more than willing to accommodate. He truly takes pride in the restaurant, the food, and the service and you can tell. The lunch buffet was soooooooo good. Great to have an authentic Indian Buffet downtown with such great service. He even offered a catering menu and service for our office which we'll definitely be doing soon!

I went to Royal Mezbaan with some friends for the lunch buffet. The food was really, really good. Had a few chicken curry options, vegetable options and two rice dishes. A friend wasn't eating but the host gave him a bowl of fruits on the house as we talked.

The best authentic India food at Downtown Pittsburgh. We were warmly welcomed and felt right at home. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with traditional Indian decor. The food—absolutely phenomenal. Plenty of choice on their buffet menu with cheapest price at the downtown. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and clearly made with fresh ingredients. I, highly recommend to anyone who loves great food and genuine hospitality.

Such a cute place! The food was delicious and the servings were very generous. The staff was also incredibly kind and helpful! I got a takeout order this time but will definitely have to come back for the dine-in experience.

This place has opened recenrly under new management and staff. Had real authentic hyderabadi food after a long time. The only authentic hyderabadi food in the whole of pittsburgh. The customer service was great, complimenting the food served. All of the items served were tasty. Ambience was also good. The meat is confirmed to be Zabiha halal by management. A lot of items are being served under buffet. A must visit place for every Indian food lover. Highly recommend it.
