for about the same $1/lbs without having to bulk stock up;

long grain jasmine and "basmati" are pretty interchangeable.
royal lacks the dry chewy starch and nutty fragrance of a real
india grown basmati (despite the authentic looking packaging)
leaving royal as a generic and rather bland rice like product.
i live near jackson heights ny which has an indian grocer on
every avenue, so trust me when i say; royal is NOT basmati.
i've been in indian grocers where a quarter of the store was
a hundred different rice sacks, and none were this brand.
for starters, basmati rice has distinct smell and that's why it is called bas+mati = aromatic soil rice.
royal basmati is not the best one but it is a basmati rice with less auroma.
So your experience depends on what you planning to cook, this one is good for making vegetable rice, green peas rice, lemon rice, egg rice, scrambled egg rice.
But if you plan to make biryani then this one will disappoint, try different aromatic ones from Indian grocery store.

you run into a lot of confusion with marketing and branding
because greedy people want to profit off people's ignorance
as Americans are notorious for buying quantity over quality.
there are good export market brands in the long established
UK indian market but they will be $3/lbs once resold in CA or USA.
(ultima) Daawat, (grand) Tilda, (platinum) Kohinoor, (gold) Laila
the reason for the (qualifier) is these brands also sell cheaper stuff
that may not be aged and long grain and slightly parboiled, which
means they could be bland or have traces of lead or arsenic in them.
i can't give you names found in a good indian grocer because you
won't find them online, or if you do - shipping costs are exorbitant.
these are brands someone recently from india would recognize and
be able to distinguish the qualifiers of age, length, parboil, and fiber.
even more confusing is many of the better basmati are Pakistani
so the sack may not have any english descriptors on them at all.
the advantage of going to a major indian grocer if you live in a place
with a large enough ethnic market to sustain one is; instead of paying
$3/lbs online for the UK brand premium examples, you'll find something
imported by the pallet right off the retail shelves of Delhi or Islamabad
that is under $2/lbs in that store. the trick is to talk to the regulars who
work and shop there, make it clear you live nearby, so you are potential
repeat buyer (not a tourist) and they may guild you to something good.
just know that "basmati" is not any copy right or industry protected word
so anyone can put that on a bag of $1/lb long grain grown in Arkansas,
the pay some overseas entity to "license" it as "authentic" to any country.
She and her friends all much prefer their Imperial Dragon brand rice.
Royal is definitely not a good brand and for that matter Basmati rice should not be consumed on a daily basis.

Most Indian restaurants use Long Grain rice which is much better Indian rice (aromatic, fluffy)
Royal sells it for few $$ more.
I prefer Tilda... or India gate.. (Personal preference ).
I have eaten loads of this Royal basmati , sona masoori and jasmine rice as well. They all have their days when they feel good for a dish and days when they feel not suited for some kinda cooking.
If you are making fried rice with basmati, then you are the problem. If you're cooking Biryani with Jasmine rice, again you are the problem... and if you think just because this Royal brand is cheap it is bad, I have to say that if you eat rice daily, after a point in time, you prefer boring rice over extra fragrant rice ( personal preference ).
I have jasmine rice, sona masoori rice, brown rice and also Daawat Basmati rice sitting in my kitchen now. This cheap Royal basmati is good on a day when I want no smell, no bite or chewiness while eating with Daal ( Indian lentils ). Sona masoori is used on a daily basis since its supposedly better for your health than Basmati rice if eaten daily ( never researched bout it ).
If you are new to rice, then definitely go to a grocery store, try a smaller packet or portion of rice first rather than buy a bag of this rice. My first attempt at Jasmine was the same mistake. Ate 20 lbs of jasmine over 6 months with indian curry and those nights was some of the most unappealing dinners.
