We ordered a variety of dishes including masala dosa, malai kofta, paneer tikka, paneer butter masala, idli, garlic naan, mango lassi, and filtered coffee--every single item was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The staff were incredibly helpful, attentive, and made sure our large group was well taken care of throughout the meal. The ambience was colorful, vibrant, and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a special celebration. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and we left completely satisfied. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy authentic, delicious food in a lively and welcoming atmosphere!

This is probably the second one star review I have ever posted…read more The butter chicken had about four small pieces of chicken in it. I also ordered the spinach pakora. It looked like it had been fried and then re-fried. Dry as a stick and zero flavor. I didn't realize I could ever be so disappointed by Indian food.

Our order was ready on time and packaged well. Even though we were just picking up, the staff were attentive and helpful, which I really appreciated. The space itself is also very nice. Clean, well kept, and has a welcoming atmosphere. We started with the veggie samosas and mixed pakoras, and both were amazing. Perfectly cooked with great flavor and really good sauces. For mains, we had the Chicken Makhani (butter chicken) and the Chicken Malabar, and both were so good. Super rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The portions were also very generous. The garlic naan was a standout. Fresh, soft, and perfect for dipping into the sauces. Overall, everything we ordered was delicious and really hit the spot. Great flavors, great portions, and a really easy takeout experience. Definitely a place I would return to for dine in or takeout.

This is a full-service, sit-down Indian restaurant, unlike its fast-casual neighbors in this new…read morestrip mall. I had actually ordered takeout but I wanted to sit there and eat; they directed me to a table and a server tended to me very congenially even though I already had my food. There is a bar here that was playing a game I wanted to watch, and it was indeed nice to sit and linger. My food was pretty good. For my entree I got the Chicken Makhani, which is basically butter chicken but I requested the medium spice level which I think really improved the flavor. Based on this, I would say that their five-level spiciness range is accurate. The portion size was ample and most, but not quite all of the chicken was nicely cooked and of good quality. I also got a side of Cheese Pakora, which came with two sauces that were both good but I wouldn't have liked that cheese thing without a sauce. Prices are very good considering what you get. They have some outdoor seating in addition to the large, clean dining room. Based on all of that I will definitely be back.

I was craving some Indian takeout for a self-care movie night, and India Palace was the closest…read morespot! I ordered and picked up my food! The spot shares a very small parking lot with the attached brewery, so it's a bit of a roulette wheel on whether or not you'll find something close. The interior was nicer than expected: very clean, organized, and inviting! I didn't interact too much with the staff, but they were friendly and it was a smooth pick-up. I had the Delhi's Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan. The naan was tasty and not too buttery, which I appreciated. The Butter Chicken was surprisingly nuanced, with warm spices and a great combo of flavors. I'm used to Butter Chicken being some of the simplest Indian cuisine, so shout-out to India Palace for not being afraid to add some character to it. I did, however, find cartilage and a few decently sized bones in my chicken, which wasn't expected and detracted from the meal. I'll definitely be back to get takeout again soon and maybe even try the experience of dining in!

Service was friendly and the food came out fast. I ordered the Tandoori Dinner for 2 and I was blown away by how much food came with it! The samosa was hot and the outside was nice and crispy. The rogan josh was a little on the gamier side and the vegetable curry was flavorful. The sizzling plate of chicken, shrimp, veggies, and seekh kabab was incredible and the portion was so generous. The veggies had a little bit of acidity which helped balance the dish. The garlic naan was fluffy and loaded with butter and garlic. The kulfi has a mild sweetness but it was very creamy. At $38.99 it was a ton of food for two people. I also ordered the Mango Lassi which was creamy and sweet, and not too tart.

We ordered takeout on a Saturday, online ordering said it would be ready in 15 minutes. This was…read morenot the case, it was more like 40 minutes. Not ideal when you have a hungry toddler waiting in the car. No ambiance inside, really could use brighter lights (it was dim), some cleaning, decor and music. The place feels tired. Service was also lacking, did not receive a welcome and many people were just waiting there and had to approach the host stand (which is also at what appears to be the bar area?) Now to the food. Chana masala was good. Chicken tikka was fine, nothing special. Rice was fine but we received more like 1-1.5 portions of it instead of 2 (for the 2 entrees). Maybe they were short staffed, but my recent experiences missed the mark and I do not know if we will be coming back

We've enjoyed this restaurant in the past, which is why this most recent experience was so…read moredisappointing. It feels like the focus has shifted much more toward the buffet, and the takeout experience has suffered as a result. The online ordering process was confusing because the only pickup times available were 4 PM or 6 PM. We would've loved to eat at 5 PM, as that's usually when we get takeout orders when we eat out. We chose the 4 PM slot, but when I arrived 5 minutes early...the order was already sitting out waiting. That immediately raised concerns about how long it had been sitting there. When I got home, some of the food was much cooler than expected for freshly prepared takeout, which only added to those concerns. I ended up needing to reheat several items as I was afraid from a food safety perspective. The pickup experience itself was also awkward. I stood waiting at the front for about 30 seconds while employees were nearby, but nobody acknowledged me. Eventually someone yelled "hello" from literally across the restaurant. After I responded and said I was there for a pickup order, there was very little communication. They looked at me confused. The employee then walked away and eventually returned with my order. The interaction felt confusing and unwelcoming. I was also disappointed by the portion sizes, especially considering current menu prices. On top of that, there is an additional service fee for online orders, which makes the value feel even worse. Overall, this visit left us feeling like the restaurant isn't prioritizing its takeout customers the way it used to. Between the confusing pickup process, concerns about how long the food sat before pickup, smaller portions, and added fees, were hesitant to order takeout here again. It's sad, because if you look at my previous reviews of this place, I use to enjoy it.

They do a high volume of take out so those can take precedence over your order at times depending on time of day but the food generally overall is good. Overall, the menu options are good and savory however, the buffet which is a big push here does not offer a lot of variety at times and depending on the time of day, some of the dishes are missing or empty. Also, depending on the dish it can be really salty so be sure to ask for no additional salt to be added if ordering off menu. The Naan is very good as is the Dosa which are HUGE and delish!

They do have chickpea flour breaded dishes and maybe they accidentally made this one in chickpea flour. *shrug* Anyway, this was good. The oil didn't seem the freshest but it was also around 10 pm when I got it. The chicken was well seasoned. I got it medium spicy which actually had a bit of a kick. I usually like spicy food. The rice was spectacular.

If I could give this place negative stars, I would. I was sent here on a mission by my mother and…read moremy spouse to order vegetable pakora for a very specific dish, khadi pakora. It's a yogurt-based curry with CRISPY pakora in it. I came here thinking "any restaurant can make pakora, it's literally just deep-fried, battered vegetables." This was a mistake I have already lived to regret. Before I describe the food, I'll note that I ordered online and was advised to pick it up in 20-35 minutes. I arrived on the later end of this range. I went into the restaurant and no one was seated inside, but it was a Monday night so maybe that's a quiet day for them. I went up to the counter to pick up my order. There was nobody there but someone came out after I rang the bell. I picked up my order and went home, not thinking to check it. I arrived home with the goods in hand. My mother opened it and gave me a look of disappointment, contempt, and disgust. The pakora was cold, limp, and not battered. It seemed like it was microwaved or even just taken straight out of the fridge. We still made the curry, but it was an abomination. I've never had pakora this bad. If you're looking for Indian food in the metro, go literally anywhere else or my Indian mother will be disappointed in you, too.
