Best Value!

Basmati rice has a lower glycemic index than regular white rice so it is a better form of carbohydrate. While cooking, it fills the air with the delicate smell of popping corn. It goes well with just about anything white rice goes with. My favorite is Sesame chicken. I like to slightly undercook it and then freeze in single serving containers. That way you have cooked rice ready to reheat any time.

Best for Biryani and fried rice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love rice as rice is one of our staple foods and Royal Authentic Basmati Rice is the best. This rice is delicious and is of good quality. It cooks evenly and stays fluffy after preparing too. One of my favorite dishes made with this rice is Biryani and fried rice. Strongly recommend it..

Great deal!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is easy to cook on the stovetop and came out perfectly! I will continue to buy this rice instead of my old brand! The taste and texture are delightful and it is lower o lower in calories!

Love this rice

A friend recommended this rice some time ago and I kept purchasing another brand. I was in the rice isle at Sam's and decided to buy it. I will never buy another brand again. This rice cooks up right every time, it is perfect. I gave a few friends some to test and they love it too.

Aromatic and Fragrant

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved how authentic the basmati rice was and how delicious it paired with the chicken curry I made. I made a fresh pot of rice and everyone in my family had second helpings. My husband loved how aromatic it was and I loved how fragrant Royal's basmati rice was as well. I would absolutely purchase this product again and I would wholeheartedly be interested in trying other Royal authentic basmati rice varieties. I would absolutely recommend this product to friends and family.

Royal Rice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I normally wouldn’t purchase stovetop rice as I prefer simple meal prep after work. So normally I would purchase some type of minute rice to save time. I am very glad My family and I got a chance to try the Royal brand Basmati Rice. This is definitely worth the extra couple steps to prepare as directed on the package stovetop! There is no comparison, it is delicious, light, fluffy, and full of flavor! I also made the stovetop basmati rice again but tried in the instapot- again turned out amazing! I will purchase this again and will definitely recommend!

Yum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked the taste, texture and smell of this rice. I thought rice was just rice but this one had a leg up on other rices. It was easy to prepare and paired well with my chicken. I would recommend it.

Easy to cook, great taste!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cooked this rice following the directions. I found them easy to follow. The rice came out perfectly, not too sticky or too dry. It was mixed in with our chili and was delicious. I can't wait to make it on its own. I would love to try another variety as well. My family also enjoyed it, and it's been added to our "ok to make it again" list

Good but not my favorite!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved how fluffy this came out plus it tasted good however as a Jasmine girl I was looking for more. I like my rice a little softer and whilst I tried to get it that way it just didn’t taste and look the same way for me especially on the next day. This rice is good for certain recipes but not as versatile as jasmine rice which I can even use for rice porridge and not have to worry about buying another bag of rice just for a recipe. It definitely cooks well and I like it but it’s not my favorite

Verified Purchase

Delicious, flavorful, and so versatile!

We eat a lot of rice in my household, and Royal Basmati rice is my go-to favorite variety. They say that Basmati rice is not the most versatile, but I love to use the leftover Royal Basmati rice to make fried rice the next day, or to use in baked casseroles. It’s so flavorful and delicious! I find that the grain is perfectly delicate, yet remains unbroken. The taste and texture are preferred over any other brand by my family. I’m so glad it is available at Sam’s! This makes it so convenient for me to purchase a large bag that will actually last more than a week for us! I would (and do!) recommend Royal Basmati rice to anyone who enjoys Basmati rice on its own, and even for using rice in fried rice, or rice casserole recipes too. It’s absolutely delicious!
