Grace of India is a solid and very consistent choice for the flavors of India. We ordered delivery this evening and it arrived hot and absolutely delish!! Service is quick and everything arrived as ordered. Highly recommend ordering extra of the green chutney We had the momo (12 of these delish morsels in an order!), a vegetarian dish with chickpeas and shrimp tandoori! My husband LOVES the shrimp tandoori! Although we didn't dine in, the interior of this restaurant is lovely. Very casual and clean. Highly recommend dining in if you can... order the beer! read more

This place is super cute and has nice music playing in the background. Our server was attentive but not overbearing, and the food was good! We got Gobi Manchurian for an appetizer and it was lovely. I also enjoyed my aloo gobi and mango lassi. I would eat here again! read more

All round great experience! We got seated quickly on a quiet Thursday evening for dinner. The restaurant itself is not decorated in any over the top way. It's actually pretty simple and elegant. Our party wasn't super hungry so we ordered on the lighter side but got to try the idli sambar and chicken seekh kebab. Everything was delicious and I appreciated that the chicken came with a good sized serving of rice. The chicken was well flavored and came out sizzling hot with lots of peppers and onions. If I'm in the area I'll definitely be back. read more

About a 1-1.5: Finding Indian lunch buffets nowadays seems to be a bit difficult to find, so when we saw the high reviews of Grace of India and that they offer a daily lunch buffet, we decided to make the trip to try them out. When we arrived, they had just opened; they had almost put all the items at the buffet station. The selection seemed of a decent variety, so we were excited. Unfortunately, everything that was placed at the buffet were cold - it seemed as if they were just taken out of the fridge and placed at the stations to just come to room temperature. The only items we thought were good were the chicken kabobs (which were seasoned well and savory, albeit super dry), the mini samosas (which were super spicy), and the freshly-baked buttery naan (that was brought out to the table). The curries, the lentils, and the veggies at the buffet were all just gloopy, watered-down/thin, and bland. The mango laasi was super sour and almost tasted putrid; the 'hot' chai was not hot in the least, as it was at room temperature. Staff were friendly, but not really engaging. I guess I wasn't surprised that no other patrons came in during the entirety of our visit. Plenty of indoor dining space, and ample parking in the plaza. +cold items at buffet +ample parking read more

This was a disappointing meal. The service was terrible, very inattentive with zero enthusiasm to seat us and no gratitude that we were even at the establishment. The chana masala was bland and under spiced. The vegetable curry looked like Campbell's beef and vegetable soup without the beef, and it was also bland and underseasoned. The vegetables neither appeared, nor tasted, fresh. The samosas were the best part of the meal. Those were very good. The tandoori naan had a nice flavor, but it was a little greasy and underbaked. read more

Kind staff, good buffet! Was a nice little birthday lunch for my husband we would come back!

Great food! Excellent, friendly service. Highly recommend. Group of five and we all loved the food.

Pretty good food, but the serving sizes aren't great. Chicken tikka masala had decent flavor but it was mostly sauce with only 8-10 chunks of chicken and a mountain of rice. The portions should definitely be adjusted because there needs to be a lot more chicken. The chicken momo were good. That said, I think the guy there was being prejudiced because he asked if I wanted mild or medium, and I'm a person who normally gets a 9 or 10 on my Indian and Thai food. read more

I have really dined in here except for 1 time. This was our take out to go place when we first moved to the area during the early stages of covid. We have gotten take out here multiple times and have had consistent food from here every time we order. We typically get palak paneer or saag paneer and some chicken dish along with naan and some samosas. We always have extra food that lasts for lunches for the week. read more

It was ok. I have had better. I ordered the paneer makhani and the lamb vindaloo. I ordered takeout, and it was ready earlier than estimated, but it was average. read more

Absolutely delicious! Portion sizes are good and I like that you can indicate your comfortability level with spice. I've only ordered take out, but the food was ready very quickly! Definitely a go-to for comfort food! read more

The momo were perfectly steamed and bursting with flavor--a must-try. The dal makhani was rich, creamy, and absolutely perfect. While those were the highlights, the paneer pasanda and butter chicken masala were equally incredible, with bold, well-balanced spices and a perfectly cooked. Excellent food and great service--first time trying, and I'm definitely going to be a frequent customer! read more

Good for American palate food like butter chicken or chicken tikka masala. The rest, like goat, lamb, or byriani is blnd and nothing but bones. read more

We ordered two Butter Chicken medium spice and it was delicious! I tend to get this dish from every Indian place we try- kind of the staple like Pad Thai from a Thai place. I would actually say this has been my favorite of all the places in Frederick (that I have tried) because not only was it flavorful, but the chicken was tender. Often times, the chicken takes a backseat in this dish, but this time it was tender- and shared the spotlight! The garlic naan - delightful. This was a little thinner and crispier than I have had at other places. Depends on your preference. It's a must order for me. They close for a few hours (3-5?) to transition from lunch to dinner service and we showed up at 2:20. The owner let us know and got us in and out with almost fifteen minutes to spare! I would not order the mulligatawny soup again. The only dish that was a little bland. Then again, I have only eaten this a few times - no expert opinion here. The actual Restaurant was on the nicer end - I wouldn't call it upscale, but I would suggest this to others for a casual place to eat at or even take people here for drinks and a dinner. read more

Great quality food, the environment is calm and welcoming. Buffet is dedicated worth it!

Ordered Saag paneer and chicken lababdar for take out. Both were just under 20 dollars and there was not a lot of chicken nor paneer in either of the dishes. The chicken was also very, very overcooked. Flavor was alright. The inside of the restaurant looked very nice and relaxed; maybe next time we will eat inside and hope for a larger serving read more

Food portions have decreased since I first ate at this restaurant. Moreover, I was horrified that my friend who joined me there was asked for her ID before being served a beer. She is over 65, has grey hair and has been a customer of this restaurant since it opened. This was insulting and entirely unnecessary. I will never go back. read more

Outstanding Indian cuisine! My husband is from Mumbai and I have traveled to India several times so we are discerning foodies when it comes to Indian restaurants. We ordered Paneer Tikka for an appetizer and I enjoyed the Mulligatawny soup (best I've ever had!). Lamb Curry and Chicken Tikka Masala were our entrees and everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The server was friendly and very attentive, and the restaurant was pleasantly decorated and clean. We loved our dining experience here and will most definitely visit again! read more

My husband and I finally had time to try Grace of India this evening. The location is on the edge of a shopping center with ample parking. The interior is well lit and decorated thoughtfully. We were greeted and seated promptly, and our request for a more spacious table was easily accommodated as we were the first dinner time customers of the evening. We were presented with a carafe of water, the three sauces and papadum as well as their menus. The waiters utilized an iPad ordering system. We skipped appetizers and ordered 3 "authentic or not?" Entrees. First up was the vegetable kadai-a bountiful variety of veggies in a smoky, rich gravy. Next was the tandoori shrimp served on a sizzling platter of onions topped with a raw carrot slice and lemon quarter-a show stopper for sure! We requested it spicy and my nose ran, so, fantastic! Lastly was the butter chicken is our end all be all judge it an Indian spot. It. Was. Lovely! While all of our foods were well prepared and tasty, the service was kinda of lackluster. Once our dishes were delivered no one returned to fill our waters or ask if we needed anything. We tried the napkin in the plate trick but ultimately it took staring at our server to get his attention. Payment is done table side with a credit card reader that immediately prompts for a tip. The bathrooms were well maintained. We can't wait to try the lunch buffet! read more

Our first visit to Grace of India was great. We whole heartedly recommended this restaurant to friends. About two weeks later, we brought our daughter there. The problem was mostly with my food: I ordered chicken kabobs that were swimming in a thick, white, creamy sauce. Not good and uneaten. (GAG)! We were perplexed, and wondered if a different chef was cooking that night? read more

Everything Grace of India serves is delicious. Even toddlers love to eat here. Plenty of parking nearby and the dining room provides the right ambiance for any occasion. The friendly staff make your dining experience memorable and keep your beverage full. Recommend the buffet so you can sample a variety of exceptional dishes that are all hot and fresh. read more

Great spot outside of Frederick, just a 10 min drive off the highway. It's located in a quiet and beautiful square adjacent to the library. Lots of cute shops and residential living around. I went relatively early for dinner around 530pm so restaurant was completely empty. Obviously, my group was seated right away. Service was great, server made sure the chef knew of nut allergies one in our group had. She also gave us ample time to figure out what to order and importantly, gave us space. She would check with us frequently, refilling water if needed. Group ordered north Indian dishes and appetizers. All came out timely and tasted great. I had Samosa Chaat to begin, then our main enteees were Paneer Tikka Masala, Baingan Bharta, and Malai Kofta w/ Butter Naan and a few rounds of Mango Lassi' (who doesn't love a round?!). Unfortunately that day, the small dosa selection on the menu was not available, I wanted to try it, but the restaurant is known for north Indian dishes anyways. All 3 dishes were good, satisfying, but mediocre. My Indian tastebuds could tell something was missing whether it was some masalas or salt, I'm not sure but it was good experience overall. We must have been one of the first customers for dinner service, so for being located in a small town, I guess they weren't expecting customers that early. All in all, it's a nice and cozy place. Staff was fun to chit chat with while we waited for other friends. read more

First time for Indian food and I came to the right place. We ordered for carry out and the food travelled just fine. We ordered the tandoori chicken, chicken vindaloo and garlic naan bread. The tandoori chicken had good flavor from the grill and the onions complimented the subtle spice of the chicken. The vindaloo was spicy and very very good. I am a big fan of spicy food and enjoyed the heat very much. The vindaloo had a lot of heat but there was great flavor from the rest of the dish. The naan bread was delicious and had great garlic flavor. I look forward to my next Indian meal! read more

Ordered from here expecting average Indian takeout but was surprised by some very above average food. We ordered: idli and medhu vada (apps), eggplant in a Peanut based curry and navratan korma (mains), tandoori roti and garlic naan. Idli and vada come with solid coconut and tomato chutneys. Soft idli, crisp vada, and tangy hot sambhar with fresh veggies. Can't ask for more. Could use some more eggplant to even out the eggplant to gravy ratio in the curry but that curry flavor is excellent -- if you love eggplant but want a different Indian preparation than baingan bharta this is it for sure. Navratan korma is creamy with a nice kick of spice at the end and totally filled to the brim with veggies which I loved. It's one of those basic dishes that I insist Indian places get right and they did. The roti and naan were average, nothing to brag about and rather more chewy than soft/pillowy (especially the naan). Stick to the rice the entrees come with and you'll be fine. Can't speak to the non-veg options since we only ordered veg but they do a pretty good job overall with the veg so I would happily order from them again. read more

Service was great, atmosphere is wonderful,very satisfied. Had the butter chicken, definitely recommended!!!

Tried Grace of India after looking for a lunch spot being new to the area and wow. So far the Aloo Gobhi(Spicy), Chana Masala(Spicy), and Veggie Vindaloo were excellent. I love my food very spicy but with flavor and they do it right here. Heat was perfect, spices and flavors were great, each bite kept me wanting the next. Also the naan is excellent. I have ordered the Tandoor Naan without butter, and it is excellent. Not overdone and not too doughy but right in the middle. Service is also great for lunch, put the order in and arrive 15 minutes ish and food is waiting for you fresh off of the stove and very hot! read more

The food is good but the service has suffered. Water glasses aren't refilled, the waiters are not trained well to cater to the ambience of the place. The place looks great and the food is good and flavourful. The prices are reasonable too. The restaurant needs enough people to take care of different things. The location is really good, and the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. read more

Stopped in for a solo lunch while I was in the area. Restaurant was sparsely populated, but not unusual these days. They were also doing a brisk takeout business. I settled on the Chicken Biryani (spicy!) after assurances that there was no wheat anywhere in their sauces. my meal was excellent! Rice was fluffy, chicken was dark meat and fell apart on the fork. Heat level was just right for spicy- you are going to feel it, but it's not insulting. Portions were very generous- as you can see I ate about half and I'm still going to take enough home for dinner. A little chai and my meal is complete! read more

Love this place! It's my go to whenever I have a taste for Indian food. The owners are very welcoming and nice and attentive. The food is always amazing! Everytime I bring someone to try Indian food this is the place I take them & they love it! As a vegetarian/ pescatarian there's a lot of options here for me. I usually get paneer tikki masala, this time I got the salmon tikki & it was so yummy! I love the tomato soup here too very different and packed with flavor. read more

Ok I've gotta join in on the train if love for this wonderful restaurant. I'm very picky about what is a good solace to get Indian food. I'm spoilt as I come from a town that has the best Indian food in the UK. I've eaten at five star rated restaurants. From southern Indian to Kashmiri and everything in between. I've also grown accustomed to the wonderful cooking of Raj at the Mango Grill in Hagerstown. Thus for an Indian to gain five stars from me means it must be something special, and this place is very special! From the friendly greetings on the phone when you place your order, to the advice that a dish is very creamy, to the friendliness in the restaurant itself. I'm not used to such wonderful service and friendliness no matter how good the food actually is. But the food... oh my god the food. First of all the naan. It's very easy to let it go crispy as it's slapped against the side of a tandor oven. So when it's soft throughout but not under cooked is a sign of great care by the chefs. This is some of the best fresh naan I've tasted. The fish I ordered for myself (paneer pasanda) was great in portion and taste. The creaminess gave way gently to the heat of the spices. It wasn't short of paneer either. It was a dish that I had never tried before, but I'm sure to again. The wife had momos, which were again perfect in execution and taste. The portion size allowed another meal to made out if them. Also the chicken tikka masala. Perfection. I'm more than happy, heck bloody ecstatic to gave this wonderful place a mere mile away from me. It's my new local for sure. read more

In terms of diverse food options, Urbana has limited options. This new restaurant is a great addition to the area. I tried Indian for the first time last year and fell in love with the flavors and dish options. I decided to drag my family here, and as first time Indian restaurant goers they were a bit hesitant. For a weekend night it wasn't very busy, so we were able to receive great, friendly service. It was very clean and quiet, and the decor and ambiance was classy--a perfect date night spot! I took charge in terms of ordering food and went with: tandoori chicken, butter chicken, and lamb curry. We also ordered some sides of rice, naan, and samosas. Everything was absolutely delicious--though the butter chicken was by far my favorite dish. We ate communally, sharing dishes and sides together, which I highly recommend! We were extremely happy with the food quality, service, price range, and atmosphere. The night ended on a high note when the manager brought us out complimentary rice pudding. We will definitely be back! read more

Everything I've ordered here has been pretty tasty and with a decent sized portion. Usually only takes 15-20 minutes for it to be ready to be picked up and I've yet to have them mess up an order. If you ask for it extra spicy they won't hold back which I like as a lot of these places will assume Americans can't handle their spice. Not your standard carry out Indian place. The interior aesthetic makes it just as appealing to dine in as much as carry out. Small bar with plenty of liquor options as well. read more
