The environment is really nice , very cozy, Indian vibe. We asked for their special meal for 2. Although don't get the mixed grill! It smelled off and was dry and burnt. The service is great though. read more

Ordered chicken biryani,NOT EVEN CLOSE. It seems a few pieces chicken mixed with colored rice. 0 flavor. Order garlic Naan, drenched in butter. Literally squeezed butter out of it. There is nothing Indian about it if you know what it should taste like. Another concern is that it seems left over was warmed up. It was on a Sunday and saw owner/cook come in 15mins prior to opening g so I can say nothing spiked is fresh. Had salted yogurt Lassi, even this simple drink was bad. Had two sips and left it. It should be made with all yogurt but this tasted like two spoons of yogurt and rest water. Very sad and disappointed. If I could give this place a negative number I would. Do not eat here. read more

Well lit and great decor all over the dining area. Service was quick a d professional. Good flavor in all their dishes, however, their protein to sauce ratio is a little sub-par. Would have liked more paneer and chicken in the dishes read more

I was craving good food and so took a drive to come out here. We made reservations because we had a large group. I asked for chicken Tikka masala, which comes with rice. The spice level was medium, and it was super light but still delicious. I ordered samosas, however, I am ashamed to say I ate them without taking a picture. To drink I got the Indian tea (chai) and I shared a mango lassi with my wife. The service was very friendly. They did take a little while to bring out the food, but we did order A LOT. So I can't blame them on that. Will continue to come here. read more

We don't have so many Indian options in El Paso and India Palace is a solid one! In an intimate warm decor with smoothing music you are reminded that India offers a welcoming culture with rich spiritual dimensions. The Cuisine of India is full of spices, rich, creamy and complex. Service is slow, as there is only one waiter. So patience is King at India Palace! Try the vegetable samosas, their Mulgatwani soup. The Karachichicken tikka Buhna the favorite of our host (Amros). The wait is justified as everything is freshly prepared and delicious. Unfortunately after Covid they stopped their Indian Buffet which was always a great option. Portions are copious so you definitely share dishes with several guests. But patience will make grateful for experiencing the delights of India. Jai Hind or "Long live India!" read more

Enjoy the flavors of food with a taste of India. Service is ok. But it seems they have their regular clients and are ok with that . Ambiance is chilled. read more

Five Stars for taste and 2.5 for service. I have been here twice on different days and hours (I did not have their buffet), and both times I experienced slow service also did not have the most attentive servers, but India Palace's food is worth the wait. I highly enjoyed their assorted vegetable appetizer, specifically their deep-fried onions. I enjoyed their chicken and lamb curry, especially when I asked for mild and hot, and both were just right. Yet, you may consider visiting if you are in a time crunch. India Palace has a calm ambiance. Currently, El Paso doesn't have many places for Indian Food, and India Palace is 1 of 2; their parking may be tight because they are located at a mini-mall. They accept apple pay. read more

After the business sold, I expected some rough patches. As a fan of this restaurant for the last 15 years or so, I vowed to continue my support of the new owners through the transition. Though the early months were a bit shaky, the food quality remained high and at least some of the staff were friendly and competent. My work schedule shifted around a bit, so I started ordering take out to continue my support even though it had become difficult to dine in. Sure, the take out portions and wait times were super inconsistent, but I chalked it up to the ownership change and continued trying to be supportive. My schedule shifted again and I was able to meet up with a friend and eat in at least once a week, but the service had gone down. The main floor server was now outright hostile to customers (take-out customers too for that matter...) after 3 unpleasant weeks in a row, my friend and I decided we were done. We've spent 2 months going elsewhere and being reminded that good service is makes everything better. Tonight, after 2 months away, we decided to give it another chance. The menu has been updated, there were new employees working and we had high hopes that things might have turned around. Long story short, my dine in food was good. My chai was adequate (though not particularly good) and the service was a bit better. I ordered an entrée to go for lunch tomorrow and had a (rather delayed) refill of my Chai. Service wasn't as awkward or hostile as it had been, but it's still far from good. When the bill and to-go orders arrived, the total seemed a little high, but I didn't really think about it. When I picked up the to-go, it felt rather light. The inconsistent (small) portion sizes are back (here on a cheap to make vegetarian dish that I can prepare at home for around $3.00) and suddenly for the first time ever, I was charged for my chai refill (and yes, I did note the menu updates above, there is no mention about charges for refills now.) Frankly, the chai wasn't particularly good for the 1st fee, but the 2nd charge was adding insult to injury. We'll see if the taste of the to-go entrée is up to standard, but I think India Palace is back on the boycott list for me again. Don't get me wrong, the food is still good, but it's just no longer the same and doesn't seem like the new owners give a damn about improving. . . . . read more

I can't give this place a high enough rating. First, the ambiance. It's very nice and classy, but still somewhere you can bring children. That's a big plus in my book. There were two other people at the restaurant while we sat and the manager had us sit right when we arrived. The menu has plenty of choices with detailed descriptions. I chose the chicken madras and the paneer Naan. My friend ordered the Tikka marsala and garlic Naan with an order of samosas. The samosas looked very good and tasted better. The food comes out after a bit and you can tell they make everything in house. It was so fresh and flavorful. The madras I ordered is in a coconut cream but you can't tell there's coconut in it. The Naan. I could eat that everyday. The cheese was gooey and so yummy. Everything was so delicious. The onllllly thing I would change is they only offer one refill with drinks and that threw me off, so I didn't get a drink other than water. They do offer a military discount which is awesome. When checking out, the gentleman told me they had just bought the place this week and welcomed us back anytime. Here's where their service gets even better. So my friend I was with asked me to carry her kiddo to the car. In doing so, completely left my phone on the table. I don't check my phone very often so four hours later my friend called the restaurant to ask if I had left it. The manager had waited around the restaurant to see if I would come back. He was able to meet up and make sure I received my phone. He was probably one of the nicest managers I had ever met. So thankful for his kindness and how excellent the food was! read more

Came in to try this place out. Amazing Indian food that is presented very well. The place looked closed when we pulled up but luckily it was open. I got one of the complete dinner plates and my husband got one of the other ones. For all the food we got, it was very filling and nicely priced. read more

The place is rather dark. The staff is very attentive. Much to my chagrin they no longer serve buffet, even though their online ad says they do. I had the non-vegetarian dinner plate which had butter chicken, lamb curry, dal, rice, naan and rice pudding for dessert. All included with your beverage. The food was delicious. I just could not get over not having the buffet. Oh well, I will keep looking. read more

I ordered Uber eats...butter chicken and garlic naan decent price. Food was amazing!! It was perfect amount and arrived hot even with me working for 10 more minutes before eating it was still perfect temp. The flavor was great not spicy and the rice was cooked perfect. Both came separate which was nice too totally recommend this place! I'm going to have to try in person next time. Nicely packaged...only downside was no utensils even though I requested. It is not a terrible thing because I have extra at work but maybe something to keep in mind. read more

I'm not really a fan of curry, but the dish I ordered was very tasty, generous portion. Staff was attentive.

Authentic Indian food. Good service and great prices. I love their Chicken Tikki masala and their garlic naan.

Food was SO GOOD!!! I had the butter chicken and it hit the spot! My husband had the lamb komra and it was also so yummy! The ambience is nice and welcoming. The only reason I put 4 stars is because the service is a little slow and it took us a while to get our water cups filled. But we will definitely come back and enjoy more of their food!!! read more

Pre-COVID. I have the absolute BEST memories of this place. When I was stationed at Ft. Bliss this was our go-to! This was my first experience with Indian food and I was hooked. They have AWESOME tandoori chicken and their chai is on point. I always loved their buffet. Might be a while before they can do buffets again, but I highly recommend getting food from here! You will not regret it. read more

India Palace - Indian Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I love Indian food and India Palace is literally the only place to get it in El Paso. It's decent Indian food, but overpriced. Ambiance - Indian restaurants are usually really shabby or really nice, there's not really an in-between and this one is fairly nice. Dim lighting, table cloth lined tables, etc. Service - Very attentive and quick to be seated. The food also comes out fairly fast as well. Food: Chicken Tikka Masala - Average tikka masala with less of a kick than I usually like it. Garlic naan - I love naan and this is the only place to get them. Large pieces and decent, but a little expensive. Pricing - ~$20 after tax and tip. For one meal, that's pretty expensive and I couldn't even get any leftovers. Overall, it's not a bad place if you're craving Indian food, but not the best quality-wise and value-wise. Being the only Indian food place in town though, I don't really have a choice when I'm getting those cravings. read more

India Palace - Indian Near Me - El Paso, Texas

There are only 2 Indian restaurants in El Paso. In the red corner we have India Hut. In the blue corner we have India Palace....India Palace wins by KO! Seriously though - the buffet at India Palace is the real deal. Is it the best Indian food I've ever had? No. But it's pretty damn good for El Paso and far better than India Hut. I don't understand the bad ratings on Yelp. India Palace is definitely my go to for Indian food when I'm in El Paso. Enjoy! read more

I can't say the food was delicious, but it wasn't bad either. It's not good to the point that I'd crave it and come back, but it's not bad to the point that I wouldn't eat here again if i was in the area. The meats were incredibly tender, and the goat fell right off the bone. The portions were healthy, meaning they didn't overstuff the plate. And we walked out instead of waddled. The Naan, in case you get one, stick to one portion. It's more than enough for two people. The samosa was okay. Wouldn't get it again, but it was okay. The mango lassi was eh. Wasn't satisfying, felt like Greek yogurt and mango extract. read more

I needed to eat healthy food with little oil to get better, but didn't have the energy to cook. India Palace was so helpful when I called, that they recommended dishes that I could have as a vegetarian and made it a point to use little oil. The person at the front desk even asked the chef before recommending dishes to me, which was so helpful! I had a really great lunch thanks to them. I order the Dal Tarka, Chana Masala, and Aloo Gobi, with Raita and Tandoori roti (without butter). It was a delicious meal. All the food was very tasty and not oily at all, which I was really concerned with as usual spots tend to be quite generous with it. Give them a call, and they will work with all your dietary needs in El Paso! I'm definitely returning to them and asking for this order again, with the same amount of oil as this round, as I felt great after this meal. read more

We wanted to check out the other Indian place in town, and we're super pleased! They were out of the first couple items we asked for, but settled on a couple beers and the Veggie Samosa appetizer. The samosas were very good (basically the same as everywhere else), and the sauces for it were great! My boyfriend had the Chicken tikka masala. He liked it a lot and it was the right amount of spice as well. I really enjoyed my Vegetable korma dish, and my boyfriend thought it had even more flavor than his dish. It was fantastic and I'd certainly order it again. Of course, we also got Garlic naan, and that was also fantastic. Will definitely come back! read more

This review is for their dinner service. India Palace is a decent place to eat if you have the need for any of your favorite Indian food classics. The food, while nothing spectacular, will definitely fill you up and satisfy your craving for a decent price. When I came during dinner service, the food took a little bit longer than I would have expected/wished though. The service itself, however was still very attentive. The restaurant is very clean and a decent spot for a date. Overall, very average for me, but still the best Indian restaurant in the area. read more

India Palace - Non-vegetarian complete dinner- includes butter chicken, lamb currry, dal, basmati rice, naan,raita and a dessert for $18.95 - Indian Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I've been enjoying India Palace for over a decade now and am not sure why I never took the time to write a review. Maybe because it is such a staple of the El Paso dining scene and has stood the test of time, I never thought of it. Needless to say, there's a reason it has hung around so long when other Indian places have come and gone in that time. The food is consistent and delicious. Due to COVID we were missing eating here, but thankfully they can be found on a few delivery services and obviously they do a hefty takeout business. Although I've sampled much of the menu, now I stick to Chicken Korma, an order of Samosas, an order of garlic Naan, and the Bhindi Masala. You can't go wrong with their Korma sauce no matter your protein. Its so freaking good and is something someone unfamiliar with Indian Cuisine will enjoy while offering a more unique flavor profile than the ubiquitous Tikka Masala. Highly Recommended read more

My husband ordered Chicken Biryani and I ordered Karahi Beef Bhuna. We ordered from Grubhub. Although we got my husband's order, my order was not correct. I am only guessing because this was my first experience with Indian cuisine. I do not think my order was right because it did not contain beef and it had a very lemony flavor. All I can say is... I guess ignorance is bliss. Although I noticed the lack of beef this was the best meal I have had in a very long time. I don't know what I ate, but I ate all of it. I also ate some of his because EVERYTHING was wonderful! I would definitely order from here again. And if you know what I ate from the picture I posted, please let me know. I would like to order it again! read more

As a patron with a background in restaurant atmospheres, customer service and high expectations; this place did NOT disappoint. We were warmly greeted when we walked in the door and instructed to choose our table. Let me just tell you about the ambiance of this place. Upon entering, the decorations, lighting and aromas are very inviting. We were followed closely to our table and handed menus to gaze upon. It took a few minutes for someone to come to take our order, but it was an adequately timed response as we were ready when he arrived. Sen, our server, was very patient to answer our questions and give his opinion of the appetizers; this was our first time coming to this place. We ordered the Samosas on Sen's suggestion. They were great by the way! My husband and I went the safe route with our entrees and ordered the non-vegetarian plate that was a complete experience-to include drinks and a desert. WOW! The butter chicken and lamb curry were exquisite and the lentils were one of my personal favorites; the naan was fresh and delicious! Sen was very attentive with drink refills and a pleasure to converse with. All in all, I give this place 5 stars because it was a place that my husband and I will revisit to try something different. Thanks to Sen (and his assistant who cleared our dishes) for recognizing our military connection and giving us the military discount! If you like the flavours of Indian cuisine, this is a place you should add to your list-regardless of where you live in El Paso. Don't be fooled by the portions, you will not leave hungry! Excellent job to the cooks and the staff! read more

Best Indian food I've had, I got the chicken tika masala and it has so much flavor. The naan is so fresh and so much flavor. The mango yogurt shake is a definite need. So creamy and amazing.

Oily food and slow service. Our server was polite and courteous, but otherwise this place is really bad. One of the worst Indian restaurants I've ever been to. I was eating mouthfuls of salty oil and my partner got a bloody nose and sharted himself on the way home. The manager compensated us for one dish and a side dish but it still came out to be $35 for food that was terrible. I would have just gone to McDonald's if I knew it was gonna be that oily! Would not ever eat here again or recommend it to anyone. read more

So disappointed with service.... Sooo slow maybe because it's a one man show? The food was not bad but it was lacking a little more of the Indian flavor... the naan was good though... I had the Chicken tikka masala and I feel it was a bit watered down, did not the creamy nutty flavor. The rice was cold and also lacked flavor. This place is not all that... pricey and slow service. not going back anytime soon. read more

I suppose it's hard to find good Indian food in El Paso and one that will taste so good. This has become our "that'll do" restaurant especially having been so spoiled with amazing Indian food from the east coast. The service was god-awfully slow but I had to give it to the guy who was working by himself. It was like this one man show of hosting, cooking, manning the take out counter, cleaning, etc. So I give him credit. But might need to have staff especially given that it was a weekend. Otherwise, I thought the flavors weren't so bad and it's good for El Paso. read more

Due to the social distancing in place, could not do a dine in. Only a take out. India Palace is a real gem. Far superior in taste, quantity provided compared to the other place in town. Ordered the beef vindaloo and the goat curry. Excellent flavor, meat was tender and both were spot on in taste. They do take social distancing very seriously. Which is good. As I am stuck in the barracks at Ft. Bliss at this time, India Palace will be a hot favorite for a while. Highly recommend. read more
