The spice levels were adequately low for the majority of Americans it really wasn't overly spiced or hot..., however the combination of spices didn't agree with my digestion and I'm still suffering with the fallout of that even the day after. Maybe I will go back to this restaurant .. maybe not ... There are "safer" dishes to order on the menu with less strong spice.... So there are options I just happened to order the wrong ones. This restaurant deserves another chance

Amrit Palace was so good. It really has an upscale luxurious feel to it…read more It was really busy on a Friday night. We didn't make reservations but probably should have. We only had to wait 20 minutes, which was lucky. The food was amazing. I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo with rice and dal soup. The chicken was tender and tasty. My only complaint is that I ordered it extra hot and I would say it was more hot than extra hot. We got garlic naan to share. They have a good cocktail list too. I ordered the Mango Monsoon. It was more on the boozy side than I expected. I hope to come back while I'm in town!

I ordered the chicken tikka masala with side of basmati rice and crispy cabbage. They put onions and peppers in the sauce which I have never seen before but it added a nice crunchiness to the dish.

He was knowledgeable about the menu and answered any questions we had. We will definitely be back!!!

After about 30 minutes of it remaining empty I decided I wasn't interested any more. I went up to the bar to tell the waitress that I wasn't going to wait any longer to please not charge me (I hadn't eaten any thing yet). Instead of standing still she walked all the way across the room (while I was talking to her) and I had to follow her. I was given the rude reply of "Uhhhhhhhhhh...ok" followed by a nasty look. I ate here about 2 years ago when it was called "The Bay leaf" and it was amazing then. It's apparently gotten alot worse.

This food is really, really good! Indian fast food is…read moresomewhat of a contradiction, but you can get it! The Lamb Korma was calling me, so I amswered! The basmati rice was warm, buttery (ghee), and herbed. The lamb was cooked to a very delicious texture, and the curry korma sauce was smooth, and warms your tongue and taste buds! Even though I ordered what I wanted, and it turned into three meals (goes great in an omelet), I feel like I should have gotten an appetizer. Some bread would have been nice, or even some samosas. I just felt like some other bite would have made it better. Next time, I will take my own advice. I only gave them 4 stars, because the place looks a little worn, but the food is special! Next time, I'll discover some other taste here.

We totally love it now. They have definitely worked out all of the kinks, and we are so glad to have an authentic Indian lunch buffet so close to our home in The Villages! ...we even appreciate the cash discount!

When walking in, they had some old school Bollywood music videos. My order was taking quickly and I waited for about 10 minutes for my order. Once I got home, the food was still piping hot. I ordered the chana masala, which comes with basmati rice, and an order of samosas. The samosas were perfectly cooked and seasoned. They had a hint of spice but tolerable. The two sauces - tamarind and chutney were so good with the samosas. I wish I ordered more. The chana masala was very tasty, I went with medium heat since it was first time eating here. The spice was really good, I could've went hotter though. The masala was buttery and delightful. I could've drank the sauce it was that good. The chickpeas were cooked perfectly as well. The flavor profile of the dish was tangy but creamy. I wish I had some chicken tikka to throw in there. Overall a great take out meal and great portion sizes where you can stretch out these meals.

A great non chain restaurant serving authentic Indian food…read more We started off with the papdi chaat and that was delicious. Tbh I've never had one before and it was a nice surprise of sweet, spice and crunch. I highly recommend this dish. Then I had the lamb makhani combo which was like a regular creamy curry dish. This was also delicious. My combo meal came with rice, samosa, naan and dessert. I didn't care for the dessert as it was just way too sweet for me but the rest was great. Hubby had the lamb biryani combo meal which the flavor was infused or incorporated into the rice dish. I personally preferred my own order but he said he really liked his dish. Son ordered from the Chinese section and he didn't like his food so my reco is to just order from the Indian section bec after all, you are in an Indian restaurant.

Following a visit to the labyrinthian VA facility in Gainesville, my wife and I were considering…read morelunch options. In looking at Yelp, we were drawn to the Indian Street Food place. Located along a building with another Indian restaurant and market and even a Vietnamese restaurant, this place has plenty of parking and quite spacious inside. We love Indian food and are always open to trying out new restaurants. We have not been to India (on the list of countries we plan on visiting) so not familiar with the street food on their menu so we opted for the more familiar options. My wife ordered the Butter Chicken combo ($20.99) and I tried one of the chef's specials, Bhatti Ka Murg combo. The combo came with basmati rice, butter naan and a desert called Gulab Jamun. My wife's combo also came with a samosa. The butter chicken was good...that sauce, which turned out to be the same sauce for the bhatti ka murg, was full of flavor. The naan was OK...nothing special and we've had much better naan. The rice serving was a bit chintzy. The desert was OK. My dish had decent flavor but definitely better dipped in that sauce. Having to content with bones from chicken thigh meat and drum stick meant I had to work for it but not too bad. While our meals had good flavors, we thought flavors and portions we had at Amrit Palace in Ocala were just as good if not better with more generous portions. We would often have leftover food to take home after a meal at Amrit. Lunch for 2 with tip was just under $54.

I askef if we could get seated outdoors since it wad cold inside and we got sat immediately. Our server was somewhat attentive (asked if we're ready to order, waited a couple more minutes for us to finish deciding). One of the menu items she said something wrong which was fine, i'm glad she tried to ensure I don't get an ingredient that I didn't want on a separate item. The foodrunner was absolutely great! Her attentiveness and overall attitude were great! I wish i got her name so i could give her props on here! The server checked up on us right after the food got to our table and we told her of some things we asked the runner for, but after that did not check on if we got it, how the food was, or if we wanted anything else. She passed by later and dropped the receipt with no explanation or reassurance like a "does everything look good on the receipt?" Or a "if everything looks good you can head up to the front and pay" (we did not know we need to pay up front so we stayed at the table waiting for her to get the card which she didnt check on or point out after 10-15 minutes of us sitting doing nothing). The food was delicious in my opinion. I got the 2 for you with the monterey club and the chicken avocado chop with a pueple haze (i unfortunately did not get a picture of them) but they were good quantity and quality for the price. The price of both is almost the same as if you bought any of them individually (they serve half the portion of each for the 2 for you) but i personally like the variety and trying both items. The salad only had two slices of avocado though which was slightly disappointing but it all tasted delicious. I think it's the best food i had in first watch ever!
