A very nicely lit ambiance Indian restaurant near a more populated Indian area . Did you know this is the longest vegetarian restaurant in NJ since 1988! Amazing ! Not in same location but it has endurance . Beautiful silverware. I really appreciate good silverware . Its a big thing for me , I might even travel with my own and chopsticks . Place is so inviting ! The food was delicious . Nice heat. Every dish felt safe - , I wasn't expecting noodles but the rice was super ! Desert was expected sweet and floral ! It is in a small mall and felt bit on rougher side but once you are in it's a different world ! Server nice and calm . read more

Chand Palace - Dish buffet - Indian Near Me - Parsippany, New Jersey

THE GOOD ---------------- + Spacious restaurant with plenty of tables and seats inside. + Pretty wide selection of different veggie Indian dishes (approx. 20) for the buffet offering. ++++ They had a Dosa station where you can request for different types of Dosas to be made to order. ++++ Dessert area was fantastic!!! Besides offering multiple types of sweets/Barfi, there was Ras Malai and even a running chocolate fountain to dip marshmallows and strawberries! + Buffet is available during lunch AND dinner! Such a rarity for Indian restaurants to offer buffet during dinner hours too. + Weekend dinner buffet was reasonably priced at $29.99 for adults (as of January 2026). Kids under a certain age are free. + There was live entertainment during the weekend dinner buffet! I wasn't familiar with the songs being sung by the 2 performers, but we lovvvvved the festive atmosphere as the Indian customers seemed to be familiar with the music. Downside was that the singing and music got a littttle too loud towards the end of our meal where we couldn't have a meaningful conversation. I know I sound like an oldie for this last one. + Large parking lot outside of the restaurant that is shared with a few other businesses, including a large Indian grocery store. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - The buffet is ALL vegetarian, so if you're a "meatatarian", this is probably not the buffet for you. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Food was good in some spots and just OK in others. To be honest, I wasn't sure of what was in some of the dishes, but we just tried everrrrything anyway. ++++ Dosa and garlic naan were delicious!!! ++++ Most of the chutneys were good. ++++ Vegetable Biryani, Singaporean Noodles, Paneer Lababdar and Honey Chili Tofu were some of my faves. ++++ Loveeeed the Indian sweets/Barfi and the Ras Malai was soooo good. = Service was OK, in that they were quick with removing our dirty plates, but they could've did a better job of checking in on us and re-filling our water. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Came here for the dinner buffet, at 5:30ish, on a Saturday evening and we were the first dinner customers, but it did fill up with more people as the evening wore on, however, there were still available tables. = Automatic 15% gratuity added to the bill for parties of 3 or more. read more

- Large parking lot outside and plenty of tables inside, plus an additional dining area on the other side; however, tables are tightly spaced, which can feel cramped - Authentic vegetarian Indian buffet that's on the smaller side with limited variety, but the dishes were fresh and flavorful - Live performers on Saturday night singing classic Indian songs; enjoyable atmosphere, though the volume was uncomfortably loud - Dosa station makes crepes fresh to order, and hot naan is also served upon request - Service was inconsistent--it was sometimes difficult to get the waitstaff's attention for water refills and plate clearing - Chocolate fountain was a fun touch, especially for kids - Automatic 15% gratuity is added for parties of three or more read more

I came here for the weekend lunch buffet. Nice part is that that dont require all the people to order the buffet. That helps alot since small kids dont make a dent in buffets. I did order a cheese dosa for them. It comes with a coconut chutney and mild sambar. Both of which are spiced mild. The doses are huge though! They could have been easily shared between 2 kids. Now to the buffet. They have a large selection of vegetarian options. Quite a few paneer plates, indo Chinese selection, assortment of apps including pani puri. They also have a small dosa station that is not terribly busy and will make naan to order. All the items were mild to moderate spiced. Nothing over the top. They dont judge you for going for a second plate. The mango dessert was delicious and they even have a ice cream. They hit you with an automatic service charge which was surprising. But I left stuffed and happy. read more

I LOVE the vegetarian buffet. I love that everything is vegetarian so I don't need to ask questions. Everything I tasted today, as always, was delicious. They deliberately change what they put on the buffet, so as not to bore the regulars. I recognized the delicious chili noodles and a few other dishes and tried a lot of new things. Lots of fried things, as usual. Lots of spicy and sweet things. Chili noodles and vegetable cutlets were my favorites today, and Halwa dessert. They have more variety of desserts than many other Indian lunch buffets. Garlic naan, brought to table, was delicious but very oily. Not sure why it needs oil. And I wish they offered onion naan instead of garlic naan. Can't wait to visit again when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

All of the Chand Palace Restaurants are fantastic and spotless!!!! I've been in the kitchen. Fabulous food

Nothing like the Piscataway location. All the food was cold. Lassi isn't included. Waiters were so slow to refill water and take our naan orders. We never ended up getting one of our naans. Plates and cups were dirty. Doesn't justify the 15% tip that is automatically added for a party if 3 or more. read more

Food was terribly cold, disappointing and flavorless, dishes were stained and dirty (water glass had food on it and waiter never came to check up on us), service was not helpful (never got the full naan order we asked for). Overall, do not recommend this location. It was a very pricey buffet for the poor quality and disappointing experience! Ended up paying $83 for three people and this was the worst Indian food I've had. read more

Delicious food! Excellent buffet ! I enjoy coming here weekly for vegetarian eats. It can be quite spicy so beware. I enjoy a mango lassee to ease the spice. Service is also good read more

Delicious vegetarian food! I ordered their malai kofta and vegetable pakoras to-go and they were both good. Pick up was seamless. They serve an affordable lunch buffet for $18.95 (I believe it might be weekday only), and dinner for $21.95. Buffet is a great deal considering their entrees go for $16-17. They offer BOGOs on certain entrees via uber eats right now. I will be back to try out their other food! read more

We visited Chand Palace for the first time and loved trying so many new dishes and flavors! The Buffett was not at all overwhelming and allowed us to enjoy as much or as little of their all-vegetarian cuisine featuring delicious North and South Indian specialities. A la carte options are available as well. There is something for everyone! Thank you Chand Palace for an amazing meal and excellent hospitality!

Service, staff was friendly and attentive. Food was fresh, delish and hot. We showed up 6pm and had an early dinner. Great for group dinner. It's nice to know that the restaurant has been around for 20 years. Must be doing something right! read more

Really surprised to receive very mediocre food from this restaurant as having dined here in the past we were very happy The vada pau and chola nature were bland and lacked spice The pani puri was equally bland What happened? T read more

Chand palace is a fantastic restaurant. Sunayana made the best dosa I've ever had, I had the cheese one, and it was so cheesy and the dosa was crispy and had a fantastic texture. Sunayana was also very nice, along with our waiter. The buffet had a good assortment of food, from curries to soup to even a chocolate fountain! My favorites were the fountain and the gulab jamun. The restaurant also was ambient, with good lighting, several beautiful chandeliers, and the waiters were well dressed. They do include a service fee, however it is reasonable, especially considering the fact that many people do not tip at buffets, and this place also had a lot more service than other buffets usually do. Overall, I'd rate it. 4.6-4.7 stars because while the food is good, it's not something that is particularly fancy or special. However, for it being a buffet, and also for being in an area that doesn't really have anything gourmet or fancy anyway, it is fantastic. So, I give it 5 stars! read more

I'm so surprised Chand Palace is rated at 3.5 stars. The place is absolutely fantastic -- the buffet is consistently excellent. One of the better places around for vegetarians as well. We've been coming here for years. read more

We stopped in at Subzi Mandi for staples, were starving, saw Chand Palace next door, the rest is history. First off it was New Year's Eve so that might have had something to do with why they tried seating us at a tiny half table, abutting the buffet, with 2 chairs facing the dessert section. (Like getting put in detention.) The place was almost empty but, when questioned about all the other tables, was told they're reserved. We thanked them and were ready to leave but, then were seated at a normal table by the door. Another couple who came in after us did end up in detention though. (BTW those empty reserved tables, were still empty when we left about an hour later.) The buffet (we didn't know there was no ala carte service) was decent but, not stellar. Don't get me wrong. there were A LOT of choices from the pickles/condiments/raita to entrees and desserts, so yes there was a large variety. Just many of the offerings were very thin and watery, lacking the main ingredient in the dishes's title. No naan or roti but, one dish served with hamburger buns? Also, why Thai dishes? I had vegetable biryani, paneer tika masala, vegetable jalfrezi and paneer with a red, sticky, sweet, spicy sauce. I tried a few other items, nothing stood out. I did go up twice and never made it to dessert. Service a little lacking, water glasses filled continuously but, dirty plates uncleared. As part of New Year's Eve we were served something sweet and pink in champagne flutes with fresh mint leaves, and a papadum with some chopped onion and tomato over the top. I'd maybe give them another shot based on all the great reviews from actual Indians, just not on a holiday with reserved seating and maybe order ala carte. It was just kind of a weird experience and not very satisfying. read more

I am not without experience with Indian food, so this is not just a review from some white guy not used to the flavors. The only thing good about this place was the service. The food I found to be quite disappointing to be honest. Sorry, but that's my honest review. read more

Went to brunch with my family on the Sunday after Christmas. Although the outdoor maybe appear underwhelming, the inside more than makes up for it. It is a very clean restaurant and great for larger parties. Food: We ordered many different items off of the menu as we were a large group. My favorite small plates were the zucchini sticks and the spring rolls. For the main dish, we had ordered many different dosas and malai kofta, which is my personal favorite. The dosas were alright and the malai kofta did not impress me very much but nonetheless I enjoyed my meal. We were hoping for the buffet option, so hopefully we can try that one day. Also, the chai is also very good. My parents love chai and are very particular about their chai, so the fact that they liked it means something. Service: overall, the service is good. They were very accommodating and was able to modify the dishes to our liking. They dressed very professionally. The food was out relatively quickly considering we ordered a large amount of food. Ambience: very clean, very organized. Not much decor to indicate that I was sitting in an Indian restaurant. It was cold in the restaurant so we had to ask for a space heater so that our part of the restaurant would become warmer. read more

We've tried almost everything and it is delicious. We've done pickup and order in for carry out and they've gotten most of everything right. Their chutneys taste great. We've ordered a handful of times but have never dined it yet. They seem to be easily packed on any given dinner time, so call in to make sure just to give a heads up to those conscious of heavy crowds. They have buffet which looked like had great options from cooking style in different regions of india. The only thing I'd suggest for the owners is to keep the food consistent - sometimes the taste and quantity of our delivery/ carry out food sometimes is more or less lacking. Also when you order multiple dishes that comes with complimentary rice, they consistently give 1 container for all orders instead of giving 1 for each entree, so it makes it difficult for each person to take rice with them. Recommend this place and will continue patronage! read more

Not sure why ratings are not that good for this place on yelp. Tried it on a friend's recommendation, chana bhatura and hakka noodles manchurian, all the food was really good. Freshly made not oily and tasty. Will definitely go again! read more

The food here tastes really good. It had been a few years since I had been to Chand palace. The Diwali bufffet had their famous Dhokla, super yummy. Weekend had veggie puff, Thai basil fried rice, the yummiest pani puri, noodles, all tasted perfect! The garlic naans were amazing. Just when we thought we had no room, we tried the amazing chickoo icecream, the rabdi, malpua, chocolate covered strawberries(you get to make your own), jamoons..absolutely amazing taste! I think we all left the place with filled bellies and will be back again. read more

Two words. The dinner buffet. I wish I got a picture of this spread but wow. They had so many options and the staff was absolutely fantastic. They were attentive and very accommodating for my grandmother who keeps a Jain diet. You can't go wrong here that's for sure. read more

Best vegetarian buffet. So many choices and everything is delicious! They even had a chocolate fountain for desert.

Great food, quiet service, nice atmosphere and staff is friendly. I've only tried the buffet and the variety is great, the food fresh and the price very reasonable! read more

Heard so much about this old Indian restaurant and finally ended up there on a Saturday night buffet. - ambience is very poor, dark, greasy carpets, dirty plates - customer service e is average. Servers were friendly but the maitre d' was cold, serious and uninviting - food was nothing to rave about. Didn't seem to be of high quality or great taste. Had a bad bloated feeling after dinner - $20 is over-priced for all reasons above Will not go again and wouldn't recommend to anyone, skip it read more

Food quality has substantially decreased over the last 3 years. Too many indo-Chinese choices were there, but not enough North Indian choices. Nothing really hit the palate like it used to. I would rather choose quality over quantity. Hope the food quality improves to justify the high buffet prices. read more

Today ordered malai kofta , dal makhani n naan. Also ordered chaats, soup n chilli paneer. The food portions are really small and taste is not great either. Would not recommend this place. They also added a 10$ service charge to the bill amount as we were a party of four. The restaurant was empty and I know the reason now. The best part of their food is naan read more

My favorite buffet place in Parsippany for vegetarian days. The best of the best either you take out or dine in . They have an option to pack your buffet food for you also. The food taste is very good and I feel the quality is also great in this place. Definitely lot at their desert bar in buffet.. awesome collections and taste read more

Chand Palace - Dhai Puri and happy customer! - Indian Near Me - Parsippany, New Jersey

We arrived for lunch around 12:10pm, apparently NOT a good time as there were approximately 25-30 people in the buffet line before us. After patiently waiting, we did eat amazing Indian food. The salad section, with Indian appys and chutneys were first and solid starters. Then came the myriad of vegetarian entrees. They had a chickpea dish, spinach with corn, cauliflower, paneer Tikka masala, aloo with chilis, some noodle fusion thing, and rice. The last area was mini dosas and Naan with sambar. I enjoyed all of the offerings, except the noodle fusion, not quite my thing. The desserts were a slight disappointment. Best by far was the warm galeb jamun. The ice cream and mango liquid were both ok. The chocolate covered wafers were good but misplaced to me as "Indian ". We had at least 20 people in line when we went back for seconds. .. Overall, all was very good, but I would be hesitant to return on a weekday before 1:15pm when the crowds seemed to miraculously vanish. read more

Great spot for quick working lunch. Buffet was fast and very good. We had a host of Indian descent who even gave it a thumbs up!

Excellent vegetarian Indian buffet that is as good as the original Piscataway location. I was happy to see that there was a location closer and stopped in for the lunch buffet. There were a large assortment of dishes available including daal, an aloo dish and plenty of dishes with cheese curd. Bread was also available at the buffet and you are given complimentary dosas which was a nice touch. Everything I had was very fresh and flavorful and I would certainly come here again instead of your standard buffets where everything is basically chicken with too much ghee. Service and prices were very good. read more

Vegetarian buffet all night long.... Who does that!! Yes they do!!! Awesome....! Chana Bhature for dinner!! Oh yes they got you covered!! Tasty food good ambiance perfect for any time! Will revisit. read more

A total rip off. Came here on a week night for dinner. There were four of us. Had the buffet and just some water. All vegetarian food. They billed us $18 per person and had a $10 service fee plus tax. The bill was $82 in total. For mediocre food and what service...pouring some water? I don't mind paying more for good quality but the food, ambience, and service here was mediocre. Never never coming back. read more

Food and service was excellent. Allwin provided great service. I would highly recommend this restaurant for good Indian food.

The food was ok and very expensive. $24 for buffet and it didn't have any meat options.

New Jersey has so many Indian restaurants and many have good reviews too. This restaurant stood out in our search as we were in NJ for 3 days and we could dedicate one day for dining at vegetarian restaurants. I found so many good reviews for their weekend lunch buffet. But what I felt about the buffet is that they have a huge spread unlike any other place but most of the items were not up to the mark. I have a leaning towards the vegetarian places, so I will surely try the place again and see if my experience can be bettered. read more

Food was excellent! Buffet had a nice variety. Pretty much everything you can possibly want. A bit pricey!
