[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family and I really enjoyed the Royal basmati rice. I prepared it exactly as directed on the package and it turned out perfect. Everyone agreed that it was light and fluffy and that it complimented the rest of the meal. I would definitely purchase this product again and I would be very interested in trying other.Royal authentic basmati rice varieties. I would absolutely recommend this product to friends and family and have already recommended it to my sister.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was actually my first time making nice on the stove top normally I used to microwave it super easy and it tasted just as good if not better I really liked the recipe I made with it. I would recommend and purchase again.

We eat rice or a rice dish at least twice a week so the 20 pound bag worked well for us. Royal was our favorite brand. Recently upon opening a new bag, the rice grains were obviously not the normal Royal Basmati we normally received. The grains were various sizes, color and varieties. It also had an unpleasant smell, not exactly rancid, but not that basmati rice fragrance that easily identifies it. The grains were broken and powdery. We thought perhaps it was just a bad batch and tossed it out. Purchased another bag and when pouring it into our rice storage container, we immediately noticed that it had the same off smell and appearance of grains that were not basmati rice. I even cooked a small batch to see how it tasted and it was terrible. Not sure what has happened to the Royal brand, but this is what we would call the floor sweepings of rice, not fit for consumption. Purchased another well-known brand in the green bag (Daawat) and it was beautifully fragrant with perfect long grains of pearly white rice...More expensive, but well worth it. Hoping Sam's starts to carry this other brand soon, but no more Royal brand for us.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Royal Authentic Basmati rice is an excellent product! When as directed with butter and  water the result is a delicious basmati rice. The rice did not get waterlogged, it was the perfect firmness and texture. It was so good I ate it as a side but would definitely take your rice dish to another level.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Royal Authentic Basmati Stove Top Rice has a nice flavor and aroma. The rice is fluffy and not sticky. It was. A nice side for a meal, however, I prefer the convenience of the microwave pouches. I would recommend this and I would purchase again perhaps for a weekend meal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very happy with my purchase of Royal Authentic Basmati stovetop rice. I love the aroma while it is cooking and the taste is always delicious. I like that the bag has a resealable tape to keep it closed between uses, which also allowed you to roll the bag down to make it smaller as you use it. I will definitely buy this brand again, and I would not hesitate to try other rice varieties from Royal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The rice was placed in a pot on the stove cooked in less time than expected very fragrant and went really well with a curry chicken dish. Preparation was good cooked low and slow over heat to avoid burning. I would recommend this rice and I do receive it free for my honest opinion. The rice was fluffy and cooked faster than other rices. Really nice flavor.

It smells amazing, it's fluffy, soft, and definitely hold a lot of flavor. It's easy to prepare, and is perfect as a stand alone dish, or along side of other food items. We made it with orange chicken. Yummy!
