To my knowledge, this is the only Indian restaurant left in the area that still offers a weekend lunch buffet. My husband opted for the buffet as always (he loves the chicken tandoori, as well as getting a plate of rice and different sides). I wanted leftovers as I currently have a broken pelvis and we both found everything to be quite good as usual. Their weekend lunch buffet is inexpensive, all one can eat is only $15. read more

We went that close to closing time so it wasn't surprising that they appeared that rushed. The food however was so extremely spicy that it was almost not consumable. We asked them to make it less spicy but that didn't really work. Not sure we will return. read more

Have been coming here since 2003, the food quality is consistent all the time and have got better over the years. Baigian Bharta and Dhabha Chicken are the favorites. Masala papad and lasuni chicken are also great!!! read more

Our family has been eating here for years. Today eight of us dined for lunch taking advantage of the weekend buffet.The vegetable samosas with green chutney are wonderful. The rice here is cooked perfectly and the Chicken Tikka Masala is phenomenal. I also had saag paneer and love their piping hot naan. Many ordered their Mango Lassi drink which is very good! Service is excellent . We will return. read more

Tried this place on Friday over lunch. They serve buffet during lunch hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The vegetarian food was great. The food was fresh, delicious with northern Indian flavors. They had cucumber raita, salad, green chutney, tamarind chutney,onion chutney, samosa. For curries they had yellow dal, palak paneer, aloo matar. You can ask the server for your preferred bread which is served hot on the table. Overall the vegetarian food was outstanding. The ambiance is decent. The server is super attentive and quick in his service. As it's located inside the plaza there is plenty of parking spots. read more

India Palace Restaurant - Vegetarian Buffet Dishes - Indian Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

How can you not love India Palace? Every time I am back in Wheaton I make it a point to visit. Their in-person dining and their takeout are equally delicious! My family love getting the basics here: butter chicken, lamb korma, and garlic naan. I believe the place is a family-owned business. The owner is so kind and the food is prepared fairly quickly. It seems like they primarily get their business through takeout orders, as every time we have gone to eat there we have one of a handful of diners seated inside. This is not a bother at all and makes for a more intimate dining experience. read more

I've eaten here a number of times and it always delivers good eats. I highly recommend it. read more

India Palace Restaurant - Assorted indian foods. - Indian Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

A good find is this place in a boring college town with a surprising amount of ethnic food. Here you can get some of Indian food for okay prices. India Palace is one of the many South Asian restaurants in Wheaton. Good variety for a town so boring. They have plenty of choices for vegetarians. Came here the last time to get lunch. It wasn't busy and we were almost the only ones except for a few others. The menu is basic stuff. It has most of the favorites. We got a few of ours. I had the Vegetable Biryani. It's about $12 for an entree. These prices are typical for many Indian restaurants. It doesn't come with rice, and that costs extra. That sucks. She had the Karai Ka Saag entree. This was spinach with a few other vegetables and spices. It looked okay but there wasn't a lot on the plate for how much it costs. This felt like a ripoff. Has okay food. Its portions and prices kind of suck for how much you get. The entrees don't come with rice, so you're paying even more to get average items that aren't any special. read more

My youngest son and I visited India palace for a late afternoon meal on a Friday afternoon. I have been coming on and off to this restaurant for years. Good food for the most part but they need to offer a better value point. They charge $6 for rice to go with your meal rather than provide it with the dish ordered. The garlic naan was $5-$6 for 1 piece of naan. The mixed grill was flavorful especially the chicken tikka and the butter chicken was good. We ordered mango lassi, (yogurt smoothie). We also had the lamb curry. For the two of us we got out of there with tip for around $100. Too pricey for what it was. Every time I eat here I question if I will come back again. This is one of those places you want to cheer for, but I feel like they a la carte you to death with add ons and extras. The food is actually good but I feel as if they need to offer a better combo meal or two pieces of naan with an order. Not charge you for every single masala chai tea consumed. If they come up with a better "value point" this place would take off! Cheering for you guys but hoping you make it more enticing for your customers to fall in love with this place. read more

I've always enjoyed India Palace as one of my favorite staples in the Wheaton area. Food was delicious as always and they gave a nice treat for my birthday Please bring back the lamb samosas! read more

I've enjoyed the wonderful Indian meals at India Palace since they opened. They have not wavered in taste or quality since. Another fine meal just this evening. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for over a decade and have been consistently pleased and overjoyed by the quality of food. Our favorites include their buttery soft garlic and plain naan, a well cooked and seasoned kebab, perfectly spiced khadai chicken and a wonderful sweet paneer makhani. This is the best Indian restaurant in Wheaton and the Chicago land area and you will never be disappointed by their dedication to customer satisfaction and consistent food quality. read more

Standard Indian fare Food is good quality, portions are decent, spices are spot on I just think it's very overpriced I mean for chicken biriyani which is basically just a little bit of chicken, mostly rice and some spices it's over $15. Seems a lot for mostly just rice... Overall ok India food but expensive for what it is read more

India Palace Restaurant - Veg Samosa, paneer pakora, nan, and Lamb Chili Masala/ Lamb Bhuna - Indian Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

We have eaten here over the years and I have to say this is my favorite Indian food restaurant in the burbs. We get pretty much the same thing every time Chicken tikka regular or spicy Palak chicken or paneer Tandoori chicken Butter Naan Rice Their tikka masala is the best imo. Spicy is great for me and regular is good for the family. read more

I'm fairly new to Indian food, so I've only tried a few places. So far, I've only liked one of them. The other place caused, um, stomach trouble. India Palace is the BEST I've tried so far... and I literally live 2 minutes down the road. My adult son and I order it now and then, and I always get the same thing - Butter Chicken. It's TO DIE FOR. I love the flavor and I really love that it's not too spicy. The chicken is so tender - I wish I could make mine like that! I eat it up with a huge piece of garlic naan bread (which is also delicious). We ordered takeout, and as soon as I got the bag in my car, the aroma of garlic filled my car. My son has ordered the tikka masala and chicken biryani. He really liked the masala, and asked them to kick up the spice. The biryani was the best he's had in our area (he liked one down by his college better - had more/bigger veggies). We also loved both the lamb and the veggie samosas. Can't wait to try the tikka masala next time! read more

My family and I have been going to this restaurant for as long as I've lived in this area, 20+ years. Every time we come in, they recognize us and are very welcoming. The food is excellent and there is huge variety. Our vegetarian child always finds something they like and the variety of vegetarian choices is wonderful. And, we love the naan! read more

Very clean restaurant. I liked the music and it was very peaceful. The food is absolutely delicious. I had the vegetable samosas, and the Chicken Tikka Masala. My server was not very sociable or talkative but thats okay. Maybe he was having a bad day. The bus girl was super nice and sweet and actually helped me. They give you like a chickpea tasting like crunchy bread thing. I wasn't sure what it was but she told me the names of the sauces with it that were really good. My favorite was the chutney. I also got the butter chicken to go so i will update my post when I try it. read more

India Palace Restaurant - Vegetable Samosa - Indian Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

This place NO LONGER has an Indian lunch buffet! It's a shame, because they had a great one and it was reasonably priced. They still have a menu to order from but the lunch buffet was the best part. So if you're looking for it, don't bother, they said it's gone for good. :( read more

I have too much praise for this restaurant and the family who works here. They consistently show dedication to their craft and the restaurant experience. My family especially loves their mutton curry. Highly recommend read more

Very good food and excellent service ambiance is ok need some renovations otherwise food testis very good

My friends and I have a tradition whenever we come home from college called "Pack the Palace" because we love the food here so much. The tikki masala is excellent, as is the ambiance and the overall feel here. Additionally, the buffet that is offered every once in a while is fantastic, especially for the price point. Love this place and hope to keep coming here for years to come read more

6 of us attended India Palace for lunch Buffet om a Saturday. Foor was great, as always. Service was very attentive. Value was decent as well. Only detractors was they cut out a couple food offerings from before Covid. Certainly will return read more

Pretty decent Indian food here. We came here for lunch and the lunch buffet is a great deal, at $11 per person. Not a ton of selections, but what's available are pretty good! Nothing here is too spicy, toned down for people like me who can't take too much spices, but still enjoy it! When you are seated, the best Tandoori chicken and Naan will be served freshly made. The chicken comes on a sizzling hot plate! There are two other curries on the buffet table, the chicken tikka masala and goat curry. Both sauces are great with the naan! Plenty of vegetable selections too. Finally, there's a sweet dessert to finish off the meal properly, a Pistachio/Mango Kulfi, unchurned Indian Ice Cream. read more

FYI, as of 5/24/24, India Palace has a lunch buffet again three days a week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). It's a little smaller than it was pre-pandemic but is still delicious! read more

We were recommended India Palace for good food. One of my friends knows the Chef, so we paid a visit! We came in, and there were maybe 3-4 other tables with guests, so very open. The did seat us next to another couple, but it looked like they were trying to keep tables near one another for service purposes. Other than that, the service seemed very good, even with a language barrier with some staff. We always had our drinks filled, and food came out at a good pace. The food was a full 5-stars! We've had Indian food in the past, and for the style and region our dishes came from, they were well prepared. Food was hot, flavorful, and made exactly as we ordered regarding spice level. Great food for the price, and friendly, family owned restaurant staff. 4.5 overall, since during COVID, more space would have been nice between parties. We could have asked to be seated differently. I rounded up. ;-) read more

wanted to rate it 6 stars but that not an option! this was our childhood restaurant, even when we moved an hour away every month without fail we make the long drive here. their imli chutney is to die for, I've been to hundreds of Indian restaurants but none come close to replicating this divine level of taste and sweetness combined with a slight tart flavor!! the ambiance is also amaze, a very homely vibe and the owner makes the effort to personally connect with customers! If you're not eating here, honestly what are you doing read more

Mostly great food, yet the servers are not so helpful. The owners wive is very friendly, kind and helpful to all.

This is a popular place if you're looking for South Asian food, and we are glad it is open and still doing well. The buffet is not in service, obviously, due to the pandemic. Our vegan son was with us and had many delicious choices on the menu to choose from. Food is always good here, and the service is friendly and prompt. The only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is that I didn't have the opportunity to check out the restrooms. So maybe I'll have an update next time. read more

AMAZING BUTTER CHICKEN AND GARLIC NAAN!! Service was great too. Will definitely eat there again when I'm in the suburbs. read more
