      Came with my bf on a rainy Saturday. The restaurant wasn't too busy and looked clean. Service was a little slow. There were 3 young workers, 2 women and 1 man. The workers were joking around with one another as we stood there waiting to have our order taken. The food took about 15 minutes to come out and was pipping hot. Chicken was really good, bread was just ok. The fries were good as well. I bought a Jarrito for $3 which paired well with the meal.

      The things I didn't like is that we felt ignored as we stood by the register for a few minutes waiting for the employees to stop horsing around with one another and for them to take our order. I noticed that the employees were using their phone while they wore black gloves and then continued to prep our food without exchanging gloves. Phones have a ton of germs and if you're going to use your phone, at least change out the gloves?!?! The employees also had Gatorade bottles and personal hydroflasks they drank out of using said black gloves and continued to prep our food. That is extremely unsanitary and health code violation. No one wants someone's germs in their food!

      The food was good but we don't think we'll be coming back as they touch your food after using their personal phones and drinks (use their hands with black cooking gloves to hold bottles near their mouth and then prep your food with those dirty gloves).

      My boyfriend and I have been coming to Royal Curry Cafe for over 5 years now. The food is so full of flavor and not once have we been disappointed. We usually get chicken tikka, chicken curry and tandoori wings (not pictured because we eat them so quick). I absolutely looooove the cheese naan, it has just the right amount of cheese and crispness per bite. My boyfriend is a garlic lover and he enjoys his garlic basil naan.

      They recently expanded the dining area and now have a whole dinning room. The dinning area is very intimate and I enjoy our date nights when we go to eat at royal curry.

      This restaurant appears to be family owned so the service is always excellent.

      5 stars to the girl who helped me exchange my hello kitty crocs for the exact same size/ character crocs! I bought a pair online and after wearing them for a few hours, my left foot on the inner part had developed a small circular cut. After examining the shoe, I noticed a small plastic like thing sticking out of the white circle part of the croc that holds the back string onto the shoe. I called this store and spoke to Pricilla (I can't remember her name but I think it was Pricilla). She asked if I had worn them and I explained to her that I did wear them, bought online but item was defective as a piece of plastic was sticking out of the shoe. She checked to see if they had my size available in store and informed me the business hours as well as putting the pair of crocs aside for me. I arrived within 20 minutes as I wanted to ensure I could get a new pair of crocs that wouldn't be defective. Pricilla and another female employee helped me to exchange the crocs in a very caring and rapid way.

      Bumped down 2 stars because it was incredibly hot in the store! Thankfully I was only there for a few minutes but this is incredibly alarming as most employees there would be trapped in the heat for HOURS!

      I literally just left this location 10 minutes ago. I ordered my food, as the lady is handing me the food, I see a COCKROACH walking on the register counter. I informed the lady about it and she said "they just came recently to put out traps." Management is well aware they have cockroaches leading them to have traps set out meaning there are a ton of them and the place is still open? This is a food business, cockroaches should NOT be wandering around. The fact that one was crawling up front at the register/ pick up counter where customers can see makes it even more disgusting because I don't even want to imagine how many must be wandering around in the back.

      Disgusting!

      I liked this laundry mat but things have gone down hill. The washing machines are DIRTY. There is rarely any space because the employee doing laundry for customers who chose that service take up one of two rows of dryers and tables. I understand that the employees are doing their job by doing the washing, drying and folding for customers who choose that option but it leaves little to no room for customers who are going there to do their own laundry. Often times, the employees leave wet finished clothes in the washer machines to ensure they can use the machine again which again is at a disadvantage of customers going to do their own laundry because now there are only a few washers left for us to use. I've noticed that when choosing the hot water option for washing machines, only about 1/2 of the necessary water is disbursed meaning the clothes are just damp but not truly being washed. I've attached 3 videos showing how dirty the machines are. I had taken a few more videos of different machines being dirty but Yelp will not upload them. I liked this laundry mat as it was close to home but I'll have to go elsewhere after giving them chance and chance again.

      One positive thing I will say is that this place has disinfecting wipes around to wipe down their dirty machines. The employees should be cleaning the machines daily to avoid dirt piling up which not only means customers wash their clothes in dirt but it also would mean machines would less frequently require expensive repairs which lead to a higher charge fee for customers to use the machines.

      Come at your own risk!
