So I deliver food for Uber Eats and have picked up a number of deliveries from here and every time I ran inside to pick up the orders, it smelled amazing inside so, I marked it as a place I needed to try myself and here I am now. I ordered take out...have never had Indian food before so I had no idea what to get. The gal on the phone when I called was very helpful and explained a few items to me. Everything was packaged awesomely. For take out I give them a five star rating on packaging. They make it to where the beautifully colored sauces and gravies aren't going to spill in your take out bag and that is great! I deliver for a lot of different places and I know first hand that a lot of other places are not giving you spill proof containers or ensuring your items won't spill like this place is. All of the food was very fresh. Hot and looked really good. Everything was very spicy. That's definitely something to keep in mind. One of our items we ordered as absolute mild as possible and it too was spicy. We are whimps apparently...at least in the Indian food department. The grilled chicken had large portions and was very tasty. The item that was in gravy/sauce w/chicken was too spicy for me to eat . At all. Again I'm a whimp but, it tasted great. It was one of those "oh my God it's so hot I'm dying" but u end up getting a few small bites more sort of thing. The bread was great too. You've gotta give it a try. read more

Guru Palace - Nice little pocket sized to go menu - Indian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

So good! Let me put it this way, my husband and I both grew up in this area and moved out of state over 5 years ago and came back for a food tour of our favorite places. And this was the first stop! The lunch buffet is INCREDIBLE! So much naan, so many good options, great desserts, amazing service... I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Thank you Guru Palace because of you my wife and I now know how to make chicken tikka masala. Here's the rub. We went for chicken tikka masala and goat curry with 3 naan for take away. Now the goat curry was good. The chicken was dry but hey everyone has an off day. Ok the rub, the naan. We ordered 3, one naan was good the other 2 where so dried out, like harder then a cracker hard. We went for dinner I'm thinking the naan was left over from the lunch buffet. Whoever put the order together knows that naan was bad but felt for whatever reason to package it and send it on it's way. Come on man. Two dishes and 3 naan came to 36 bucks. Really? So that was when we went to YouTube and started to learn how to cook Indian food. We went to the Indian grocery store, it took a bit to locate the ingredients mostly because we couldn't pronounce the names but we did it andfor the naan you can 5 for $2.50 frozen and there great. We have cooked this dish twice and it's great. The price is about 15 bucks to get started for the ingredients and then it's about 6 bucks to make 2 pounds of chicken tikka masala. Total cook time is about 45 mins. We love it and will be exploring more Indian dishes. Again to the person that did us dirty, thank you we love our Indian food. Will not be back It's clear the owners/management don't care no one has reached out to us about our experience. India oven is about half mile down the street better food and better service. read more

Food is ok at best. Charging $4.00 for raita (yogurt) with not one of the listed ingredients such as cucumbers, onions, etc etc included. Very disappointed. Never include silverware. Again, food is mediocre, supplemented with the aforementioned shortcomings - we would not recommend. read more

The place is nice and quite to hang around , the staff are chill , they're doing what they're doing , I like their service, but one thing that I was not expecting it , which the buffet was just ( COLD ) which your eating cold food basically . It was disappointing . read more

We were looking for an Indian buffet and of course everything closes at 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock usually however this place happened to be open till 4 o'clock and they had a buffet for under nine dollars! We ended up going and were super impressed with both the service and the quality of food. They kept bringing warm fresh food in the buffet. They also had fresh Mango lussie and hot chai with milk. Excellent place with great service and very very good food we will definitely be back to eat more food! read more

This place is back to being the BEST Indian Food place! My toddler and teens even love this place! Kids can be hard to please at times, so that should say a lot! We get the Paneer Tikka Masala (Cheese cubs in a red tomato gravy sauce served over rice), Garlic Naan, Samosas, and Pakora's. All items a first timer would probably really enjoy. They have many versions of what I mentioned above (Vegetarian, Chicken, Potato, etc). Also, if you are a beer lover PLEASE try the Flying Horse beer! Its a honey light crisp tasting beer. It's only 9am and I am ready for Indian food now! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place, my favorite restaurant! I've tried multiple things on the menu and it never disappoints- it's all really delicious and I'm really picky about my food. Plus the service is awesome, staff is super friendly, and the place is clean with great ambiance. read more

One of my favorite Go To for great Indian food. They have a good selection for buffet. The price is very reasonable, the food tasty and the service super friendly. read more

Food is no longer consistent. I've been coming here for a very long time and service has definitely changed. Best wishes hope things turn around. read more

Love the food but super frustrated with the service when ordering online. Trying to support small business- had to order a pickup through Postmates when trying to order through their website. The restaurant forgot one of my main dish items ($80+ in food was ordered). I didn't know until I got home and was feeding my family. When I called they stated I could come get it or they would somehow give me a free entree next time. I said , no just refund me the entree. They would not. They told me I had to go through Postmates- no resolve there. I then walked into the restaurant the following weekend with my receipt and was told, "We will have a manager call you" That was two weeks ago. No call, no refund. read more

Good value; buffet is great. I'd like more prompt supply of naan, as it is superb, but I always have to ask, I'd prefer not to have to wait when I waNt the naan. Food is tasty, I always leave satisfied! Worthwhile stop. If you are in the area and need a good lunch this is great. read more

Had the Lamb Curry and Fruit plate. Was plenty for 2 of us. Good flavor and quality ingredients.

I had such a hankering for some delicious Indian food and my heart sank from the moment I opened the bag. The portions were incredibly small to what I thought we would be receiving for the price. Thankfully, it was quite filling! The rice and Buttered Chicken was well cooked and seasoned. Our tandoori chicken however was ridiculous. It was absolutely so dry that it was inedible. We received 4 tiny pieces I would say are equivalent to chicken wings. There was however, about a pound of onion on top of it. Quite greasy and mushy. The naan we had was thin and burned, and was so incredibly hard it could rumble like a stale tortilla. I'm so disappointed and we won't be ordering here again. read more

From NYC visiting family here in Mesa. Pleasantly surprised by Guru Palace! Vegetable samosas tasted fresh and delicious-- cumin seeds really stepped them up a notch! I always order the same thing when trying a new Indian restaurant: chana masala with garlic naan. GP didn't disappoint. They got the spice right. The naan was also good and had nice texture. My 2 family members both had butter chicken and gave it a 4 out of 5. They both gave the samosas a 5. We ordered the food to pick up. Will definitely order again! read more

This place has delicious food and great service! We have been coming here for years and it is always consistently excellent. I recommend trying the saag and the butter chicken. read more

It breaks my heart to write this review, but I'm incredibly disappointed. Ordered some Chicken Tikka Masala to go and ended up with 3 small pieces chicken with 2 larges onions. The Garlic Naan was great, but that doesn't save this dish. I just spent $41 on 2 entrees and 3 pieces of Naan... and it's a waste. read more

Guru Palace - Indian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This was good Indian Food and reasonable prices. I got the eggplant, tandoori chicken and garlic naan. In fact, I thought about the eggplant all night and had it for breakfast - a spicy start to my day. The tandoori chicken was different than I expected - it had a sauce with onions and I am used to it just being the chicken. I prefer the tandoori chicken with no sauce, but what I got was good. Lots of food! The only issue is that the #1 spice level was very spicy! I don't know how people can eat the #10 spice level. If you like Indian Food, this is a great place to eat! read more

I went there today and even though they raised the buffet price to $15.00 they were out of curry goat. I waited over 30 minutes for them to restock it and they didn't so I ended up going to another restaurant. read more

It could be said that Chicken Tikka Masala is one of the most common dishes ordered off a Indian restaurant menu. Being common you'd think it would be done well and taste good. Not so with Guru Palace's "take" on this dish. The sauce tasted like store bought spaghetti sauce. The chicken was dry. The accompanying basmati rice was hard and flavorless. The naan was also tough and tasted old. The food came by Uber Eats and turns out that was the best part of this meal. Over -priced, subpar food. Don't bother with this Guru. read more

absolutely amazing food and staff was incredibly attentive. great decoration. Loved my experience dining here!

My favorite Indian restaurant in AZ! The food is authentic and always delicious! I am a big fan of the paneer tikka masala. Highly recommend. read more

Love this place!! Always receive the best service. Only buffet with my favorite goat masala every day. Highly recommend.

Hands down, the best customer service around. The manager and employees went above and beyond to be accommodating. In fact, I don't think have ever been anywhere with better customer service. The food was also amazing. We got the chicken tikka masala, chicken tikka, paneer tikka masala, vegetable soup, garlic naan, and some orders of rice. All were excellent, we were surprised by how good the vegetable soup was. We ordered a 2/5 spice level and it was great and not too spicy. In fact, we'll probably order a 3/5 or 4/5 next time. Thank you to an awesome restaurant with outstanding customer service. Will definitely be back. read more

Horrendous food, I don't even know why this is called Indian food....far from authentic Indian food. Biriyani was just tossed jeera rice with chicken. And don't even know what the other thing was read more

Ordered butter chicken spicy level 2, it was so spicy I had to throw it out. Won't be ordering from here again there's no reason a level 2 should be inedible. read more

Very very disappointed. As much as I love their food I was disappointed with this order. Ordered my food online and when I went to pick it up the price online was $10 less than what was rung up. Asked why the difference the young and said they hadn't updated their online pricing yet. You'd think one would update not only their paper menus and online before charging the customers. Beware if ordering online add $10+ to the bottom line read more

We had a friend visiting from Vegas , so we decided go out for Indian food since he was craving it. So we went to Guru Palace. We ordered 4 dishes so we can try different things. All 4 dishes Lamb Vindaloo, Mixed Grill, Palak Paneer and Chicken Curry were horrible. The food was bland, watery, chicken smelled. We only ate the Naan bread. Since the food was bad, we had to say something to the person in charge. We told one of the waitresses. She was nice enough to take everything back and replace it with new dishes. Even though they replaced it, the food was still very bad. We then asked for a person in charge. They sent us the owner. We started telling him how bad the food was...I asked him not to charge us for the food since we didn't eat it. I thought he wouldn't charge us after telling him that we didn't eat the food aside from the Naan. He gave us 15% off!? Both gentlemen that we spoke to weren't very pleasant. I WOULDN'T NEVER GO BACK TO THIS RESTAURANT. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT! read more

Please return to the greatness.... Many many fond mouth-watering memories of deliciously complex flavors insist that I rate Guru a 3 STAR (I can't bring myself to rate it 2 Stars it would feel such a betrayal). But over the last year I have found myself progressively disappointed and longing for the pre-2017 yum-splosiveness. The flavors seem muted now, not bland compared in isolation, but definitely so in comparison to Guru's brilliance a year or more ago. I hate saying it's just OK now. I want to hop in the DeLorean, roar up to 88 mph, kick in the Flux Capacitor, and return to the glory days when: - Darcie and I were ambassadors to so many friends who had never tried the cuisine - Guru Lamb Vindaloo, Sheesh Kebab, and Biryani of any type had the power to arrest all your senses such that you could only live in the complex flavors. I'll be back Guru. Back fearfully but with the highest of hope. read more

Never had a bad meal here. Very close to the house and it's out go to for Indian. typically get the lamb briahanni or lamb vindaloo. Wife said the chicken tiki is her favorite. get an order of the samosas! read more

Had my first visit here last week and I hope to have many more when I am in the area. I couldn't decide what to order and went with the butter chicken as I recalled seeing it praised in other reviews. Wow, it was great! My friend had a different dish that she enjoyed but she tasted mine and loved it. I also ordered Poori and it was perfect. I can still almost taste it. Great service too! read more

I always order the chicken tikka masala and it's always so yummy. So much flavor and huge chunks of chicken. Don't forget to ordee garlic naan for dipping in this magical sauce! Yummmm read more

Guru Palace - Chicken Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

My boyfriend was hesitant at first trying a new Indian restaurant but this place went above and beyond our expectations. The menu has nice descriptions of the entrees and appetizers which I appreciate. We had lamb vindaloo, mixed tandoori platter and paneer tikka Marsala along with garlic naan. Everything was delicious. It's a family run business that takes pride in every thing they serve. read more

My Go-To for Indian takeout in the southeast valley. The Lamb Vindaloo (Spice level 9) and dipping Aloo Parantha into it is just perfection. I'm going to miss this place when I move out of the valley. read more

Guru Palace - Indian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We want to try this place for the first time today , horrible experience and horrible service we had it was corner table and dark out asked to ON the lights and service staff came after a long wait saying lights are repaired, Need to replace ( they are expecting us to re place is I guess so) appetizer and main course all the way long together and food was okay but the Biryani was tasting like pulao honestly . Kids liked it anyway and when we asked for bill ' I referred the Yelp for check in discount' but the server didn't even mind us out taking it seriously to speak to us. I had asked for manager and he left for sometime and didn't even come to us for to collect the check. We walked to the counter- later he mentioned manager was out. We are not fools and I'm in to restaurant business in Bay Area as well but never treat people such a way who walk-in and if your interested in to your business please take this seriously.. but finally we were not honored the discount and walked out, if your don't want to do so do not post it and Yelp had to take this matter.. read more

Guru Palace - Check the offer you mentioned?!!! - Indian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Guru Palace is my FAVORITE Indian Restaurant and I'm Indian so that says a lot! When I go to an Indian Restaurant I look for multiple things: * "nut free options" because I'm allergic * a decent combination of meat dishes and vegetarian dishes because my dad is a vegetarian * clean/sanitary venue and silverware along pleasant service * a variance in spice levels Guru Palace hits EVERY single one on the nail. Plus their lunch buffet's on the weekend have great prices. This is 9/10 times when we go. My family comes here all the time because I am able to eat nearly everything and my dad had multiple options as well. Their food has great flavor and is the perfect level of spice. Some Indian restaurants forget that you have to cater to ALL spice levels and make their food so spicy you can barely taste the dish! Other places also sometimes don't understand that I am severely allergic to nuts, but Guru Palace does. My family goes there all the time and the owners always show appreciation by coming to our table and talking with us along with the occasional discount. For people that have never tried Indian Food, I would recommend their chicken tikka masala (I enjoy it with rice but you can also eat it with garlic naan), palak paneer, daal makhani, baked fish, tandoori chicken, gobi, mutton curry, channa masala, and muttar paneer. Pretty much every dish is great there--you can't go wrong! You can also order onions, lemon, and jalapeño on the side which is awesome to eat with your food! For dessert try the mango lassi and gulab jamun. I'm truly in love with Guru Palace! I hope it never changes!! read more

Guru Palace - Chicken Tikka Masala with Rice, Daal Makhani, Palak Paneer, Channa Masala - Indian Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I have ordered from here many times but I am done after 2 bad experiences. I recently ordered postmates the other day and got gulab jamun, rosmalai, chicken tikka, the mixed grill and extra for a side of garlic naan. Mixed grill The shrimp were tough and had been cooked within an inch of their life The beef which I thought was lamb at first because the meat had a heavy oxidized flavor indicating the beef was old The chicken tasted ok but after eating the other 2 items listed above I gave up on the meal and didn't feel comfortable eating it. Chicken Tikka The sauce was bland... I am white and even I am saying the sauce is bland... the large chunks of chicken tasted boiled and thrown in. Gulab Jamun They were tough in the center! This is a first in the 32 years of eating these that I have had them be tough and contain large pieces of cardamom seed that is not pleasant to bite into... and they didn't soak in any of the sugar syrup at all. Rosmalai These were good, milk sauce it was in was also good Garlic Naan They charged me $4 and I got 1 very thin pathetic piece of garlic naan and that was it. That is like charging $4 for a slice of bread! I am guessing none of your meals come with any naan or did you let me pay extra for less? This place has gone downhill and it looks like the beginning of the end. I am sorry but you have lost a customer and will be checking out your competitors. read more

ive been going to this restaurant since I was kid, and I wanted to recently take my partner there to try the food. The first thing we saw was that a couple of the dining tables were absolutely INFESTED with roaches. Not just one or two, but a whole group of them all over the floor. It was absolutely disgusting and embarrassing that my partner's first Indian food experience was a place infested with roaches. If the dining area is like that, I can only imagine how bad the kitchen is. This place is generally cheaper than other restaurants and their food has always been pretty good, but this experience made me never want to go there again even though it's a restaurant I've been to hundreds of times growing up with my family. Also, it's clear that the staff there are not happy lol. read more
