    Egglplant something and 48. Daal Curry Dish
    Rebecca S.

    Based on some other recent reviews I wasn't sure what to expect. Although there was a paper sign on the door announcing their lunch buffet, in fact there was no buffet when I visited, arriving around 1:15 pm on a Friday. However they have an extensive menu and I was excited to try something new. Several tables were already seated, I was greeted right away and seated, brought water and a menu while waiting for my friend to arrive. Service was excellent and the food came quickly. I tried something new for me, an eggplant dish because I'm trying to have more veggies in my life. I went with mild because I wasn't sure how spicy it would be, and looking back think I'd have liked medium spice better. That's always tricky for me when ordering Indian because if I've never been to a particular restaurant before it's hard to judge that. Everything was very hot, and while I liked mine I think it just isn't a dish I'd ever love. My friend did love her dish. The two reasons for 3 stars are that they didn't have the buffet even though signage said they did, and that most of the lights were off and ac didn't seem to be running well, I think the doors were open so while it wasn't stifling, it was a little warm for my preference when dining outside. Lunch prices seemed high to me given the portion size, but that's also hard to judge lately with inflation costs.

    Main entry also there is a nice event center here on the left

    I went to the India palace for the excellent lunch buffet. First they offer excellent naan bread freshly made. You can get plain or garlic bread. There is an great self serve buffet that should please almost anyone. I will say I am not a vegetarian but the rare vegetarian items I like are from this restaurant. They have a whole buffet table filled with vegetarian dishes. Next they have another table with the meat entrees. Finally they have the cold table with salad items and at least six different Indian condiments. Also they featured two different soups and several dessert items. When reviewing the buffet it is a real challenge as I tried over 8 or so different items. Many I don't know the names of. Some remember able highlights. The chicken chili was definitely my favorite and I got two servings. Excellent heat and spice I would expect. Also the tandoori chicken is a real favorite of mine. Definite levy less heat. There is one vegetarian item with a creamy sauce and spinach. We had attentive service while we dined here and the dinning room and bar area are well decorated.After two plates of food I got some of the excellent rice pudding and some mango pudding. Overall excellent food.

    This was my first visit back here since they remodeled. The new decor is definitely bright and colorful! It is a definite improvement! I love that they offer a buffet on the weekends rather than just lunch during the week. I visited on a Sunday and the food on the buffet was fresh with a good selection of options. Choice of plain or garlic naan is brought to the table as part of the buffet which is great because the naan is fresh then rather than being on the steam table. The buffet was organized into a vegetarian section and a section with meat. The vegetarian selection was great! They had some of the standbys along with a few items I hadn't seen on a buffet before. The meat options also included standards like chicken tikka masala, but did also include goat. The only slightly unusual element was that the goat included a lot of bones; it was a little tricky to eat as the bones were kind of small, so it required being careful. The chicken biryani also included chicken still on the bones, but this was full wing portions, so the issue was just that it was a little messy to eat, but no tiny bones to have to watch for. The flavor of all was good! The desserts were the standard ones, and were nicely done. The carrot pudding was the standout for me. It was fresh, not too sweet, and the texture was perfect. This is definitely a good option for a weekend Indian buffet!

    Every time I come here it is an amazing experience. Tonight our server was Johal and he gave my friend and I great service. The food was amazing. (Pictured: vegetarian thali, non vegetarian thali)

    What happened?? My husband and I have been visiting India Palace now for the past year. We moved here from Schaumburg, IL and immediately needed a go-to Indian restaurant. We have been ordering take out from here throughout the past year as well as dined in. Today we order Paneer Tikka Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chole Puri and garlic naan. Our order arrived at our home via GrubHub in a timely manner. Puri and naan we still hot. We opened the gravies (paneer and chicken) and immediately noticed the very light color and watery consistency. Normally these gravies have a rich red-orange color and fairly thicker consistency. We plated the gravies and it was clear that they were runny. The paneer was tasteless, to put make a long story short. The gravy did absolutely nothing for the plain paneer. As my husband put it to me, it seemed that they just chopped up a paneer block and tossed it in some microwaved gravy. The chicken was exactly the same. The gravy had slightly more color to it but that was as good as it got. The chole dish was very plain, however it did have more flavor than the other two dishes. The puri was very oily. The naan was the only item that seemed fresh. In short, our last meal at the restaurant (dine-in) was the thali lunch which both my husband and I loved. Either the owner or the chef even came up to the table to check with us that day to which we told him we were so delighted and impressed. We will not be ordering any food from here in the future. This place was our go-to for anything Indian we craved but sadly we must move on. Pictures of delicious thali lunch dine in (9/1/20) and today's to-go order (10/31/20) attached.

I never stopped before because they don't have a parking lot, and finding parking close by could challenging, we parked 2 blocks away. It's a small, cozy place! It wasn't very busy when we arrived, considering it was lunch time, but it got crowded while we were there and I noticed several take out orders. We were promptly greeted upon entering and since it was just the two of us, we were seated at a small table for two. However, after ordering, a side table was needed for all of our entrées! We shared the vegetable mixed platter as an appetizer, which was more than enough for the two of us. All were delicious but my favorite was the samosas with mint chutney! I chose the Chicken Tikka Masala (medium spice) with rice and garlic naan bread. Although it took awhile for it to be prepared, my meal was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious! I finished my meal with a cup of hot Masala teaAll in all, a pleasant dining experience.

The interior is cozy and nicely decorated and doesn't have an overwhelming amount of tables. They seemed to stay consistently busy inside and a steady flow of carryout orders. Spice levels are always a little tricky with Indian food. I did order a mild vegetable briyani dish for my toddler but it was too spicy for him but he did devour the garlic Naan. I ordered one of the lamb dishes "mild" and my friend one of the sizzling chicken dishes "spicy." We switched dishes as the spice levels seemed to have switched from what we requested. Overall everything was delicious. Mango lassi was great and I also decided to try Masala tea, which i will definitely have to try again.
