This is hands-down, one of my favorite Indian restaurants. They have maintained the quality of food throughout the years, and they have been opened a long time. This is a buffet style restaurant, with a good selection of choices, but a small enough buffet to where it doesn't become overwhelming. I have frequented this place for many years, and it just remains one of the best. Service is excellent the decor and feel of the place is very welcoming. The price for their buffet is also not bad at $14. This is one place that I will continue to go to throughout the years. read more

Have been going to eat at India Palace for years. Since I moved I haven't been in a while. My mom got a gift certificate for her birthday so we went to use it. Their buffet has the most dishes I've ever seen at an Indian Buffet and everything is good, fresh and mostly not hot spicy which is good for me. The best dish there is the goat. It is so tender and delicious! I would go there just for that. I do like paneer from another Indian restaurant which is why I gave it 4 stars. Great service too! We'll have to go back when I'm in town again. read more

I thought the food was pretty good and worth the price because I usually don't know what to order so it was nice being able to try a little bit of everything. I also think the naan was pretty good but ran out pretty fast. For dessert they had a rice pudding and mango custard which I enjoyed. Overall it seemed quite clean and the workers were good at filling drinks and taking away plates. I would come here again! read more

It was my first time at this buffet. I stuck to the chicken based plates. It was tasty but I won't be back to pay $25 with drink for this buffet. Next time I'll order a single plate if I come back to eat here. I personally did not like the other entrees they served in the buffet. read more

Door Dash Review: My go-to for Indian Food when I have a craving. I've been ordering from India Palace exclusively for my fix for about four years now, and one of the amazing things about them is their consistency. I always order the same thing: The Lamb Biriyani. It's so large a serving it can easily last me through three to four mealtimes. The only downside is that the garlic smell will stay with you a day or two after you've finished this meal. Your sweat will smell like garlic. But since I WFH I don't mind. I also tried the khir, and it's a slightly more watery consistency than Mexican rice pudding, but it's still a nice treat on hot days. on Sunday I ordered the samosas - DD had a BOGO deal - amazing, because one samosa is pretty hefty on its own! They were delicious. Crispy and flakey on the outside, delicious potato-ey filling on the inside. I've gotten my brother-in-law into this spot now, too - when he and my sister visit, sometimes he'll specifically request India Palace for dinner. read more

Went to this restaurant where they had buffet. I hadn't really ventured out in Indian food much besides tikka masala so it was a new culinary experience for me. Buffet was a good price at $15.99. I tried some of their dishes but really just served myself like 2 plates of tikka masala which is worth it for the price to be honest. The waiter was nice and in general they were really quick to pick up dirty plates and refill cups! Restaurant was quaint but busy! Seems like they get a lot of business. read more

India Palace - #256 Chicken Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is the best place in Texas, don't know why people come in here saying the flavors are not there! Clearly they have not been to other locations around the State. I have all around and even overseas and this place inauthentic full of bold flavors and by far the Best out there! Every year I buy their chicken tikka masala for my home made tamales. Thank you very much for the great service and I always keep coming back! Love this place. read more

This is my new favorite Indian restaurant in San Antonio. It's a small, cozy, and authentic buffet. I've had Chicken Tikka Masala, Samosas, and Tandoori Chicken. The naan bread is always fresh. I particularly love the Mushroom Matar Masala. read more

My family has been enjoying India Palace for at least 20 years. Their food is consistently delicious and the service is great. We love the buffet because we can sample a little bit of everything. Being a vegetarian, I can enjoy a variety of dishes. Our grown kids that live out of state want to eat here on their return trips...it's that good! You won't regret eating here! read more

Food was a disappointment. I love Indian food but a lot of their items were bitter (chai tea, tiki masala) goat curry had a lot of small/broken bones, tandoori chicken was dry and bland. Naan was nice and fresh/soft. And they seemed to keep the buffet very clean and changed out items frequently. Our server was average. Cost was high 3 people $70 read more

The food was good but just not stellar or outstanding, but still good. The buffet was well monitored and food was refilled relatively quickly. Standard Indian cuisine but nothing really special. The place was crowded which is a good sign but they just didn't have enough staff. Staff was fantastic I just wish they had more servers, because this wait staff seem to be working very very hard and just couldn't keep up. Not much in the way of decoration but the important thing is the restaurant was clean and the food was good. The restaurant is located in a strip mall so parking can occasionally be difficult due to all of the activity in the strip mall. read more

Service was kind and attentive. I had a Masala Tea & loved it! This Buffett is small, but everything is delicious. My favorite are the samosas with their tamarind sauce. Everything is clean and the food is always fresh! I came here years ago & I'm glad this place is still around. I will definitely come back sooner! read more

No idea why this restaurant has high ratings. It's neither authentic North Indian nor South Indian. There's no flavor whatsoever. Chicken Tikka Masala was horrible . read more

My favorite buffet! The price is usually around $14 and food is fresh and hot. I've gone to dine in and take out and they even give extra containers. I love the chicken saagwala, samosas and there's also one that has mushrooms and is my favorite! read more

My go to Indian restaurant in San Antonio. A $15 buffet, with a wide range of options and fresh food? sign me up! I have been here many times and have never had a bad experience. If you go, I recommend trying a little of everything to find what you like most. To go through some of the dishes I like the most - - Saag paneer - The spinach and farmers cheese is fresh, and this is delicious to eat with naan or even samosas. - Channa Masala - A high protein vegetarian dish, featuring chickpeas along with a spicy flavored sauce. (not really hot in my opinion) - Cooked cabbage - I couldn't find the official name of this dish but GET IT !! The cooked cabbage with other vegetables is so simple but the seasonings they use with tender cabbage makes this addicting. - Chicken Tikka Masala - A creamy tomato based sauce covering rich flavored chicken that goes great eaten with naan. It really is a classic and they nail it. - Vegetable Samosas - I could come solely for these alone. I always have to limit myself because they are filling but taste so delicious. A crispy exterior with a soft inside filled with spiced potatoes and peas. - Eggs - Again, don't have the name and couldn't find it on the menu but the marinated eggs are delicious. These are just a few of my favorites. They also have desserts with the buffet too. The Mango Custard and Kheer are a great way to top off the meal. I like to mix them both so it feels like mango rice pudding. You really can't go wrong with anything at the buffet. Aside from the buffet, they have a wide menu. I personally have not ordered outside of the buffet but I would try other items based off what I have had. I enjoy coming here each time because of the great food for a good price, the staff is welcoming and the vibes are solid. I also appreciate how clean they are with the buffet, constantly wiping it down, keeping plates stocked and providing (and encouraging) hand sanitizer with each time you load a plate. A little side piece but its really neat they have glass windows where they cook the naan so you can see them make it on the huge tandoori ovens ! read more

We love it here!!!!!! CLOSED ON MONDAYS. I have been coming here for years and I have NEVER caught them slacking. The buffet is always on point! Staff are quick to keep it stocked and the food hot. I mostly admire the passion and flavor put into every entree at the buffet. I feel like most buffets the food is made in a rush and sometimes can lack flavor, but not here. The food is always delicious! read more

India Palace - Buffet - Indian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My absolute FAVORITE place to have Indian Cuisine in San Antonio. We first visited in 2004, then frequented from 2006-2009 when we lived in San Antonio, and now live in Austin and visit any chance we get. The food has only gotten better. That says a lot. Chef Enrique is amazing and never ceases to amaze us. We always order tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, sag paneer, vegetable samosas, rice, nan, and end with some mango mawa! Highly recommend!! read more

I went for their lunch all you can eat special! After tax + tip, the total was around $18. I think this is a bit pricey for the value and selection. There are just two different stalls for the entrees + desserts. Since I don't often have Indian food, I thought it was pretty good. But I think compared to other Indian restaurants, this place is average. I did like the spinach paneer. They had this AMAZING rice pudding dessert and mango custard. The naan was pretty good. The samosa and chicken was dry and not that impressive flavor wise. I preferred the curries and saucier things. We were a larger group of 10+, and the servers looked a bit annoyed when seating us. Other than that, they were friendly. The seating area vibe is interesting, it's like what I would imagine an event room for a bar mitzvah would be like. read more

Lunch Buffet: Arrived at 11:15 (early) to try to get fresh food. Didn't happen - especially with tandoori chicken which was old and dry; I suspect it was yesterday's leftovers. Saag paneer was OK but not great. Same for chicken tilka masala and chicken curry. Most of it seemed just meh. Fresh butter naan was served when we were about to leave. Rice pudding was runny and very sweet. read more

Food was delicious. All of it. My favorite is the chicken Marsala. They have fresh naan coming out to the buffet often. Service was great. Continued to fill our drinks as they got low. The music was nice too. The buffet is small but the dishes are pact with flavor. You'll definitely leave full. It's definitely worth the price. At $14.99 a person for lunch and dinner . And my little girl who's 4 was free which was nice cause she eats like a little bird which isn't much haha. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The restaurant was very clean with white table cloths and Indian music playing in the background. The servers promptly removed plates and refilled our water glasses. The food was nicely spiced without being too hot. We would recommend this restaurant. read more

Went with a group of people and we didn't have any complaints. $15 a person for the lunch buffet was a steal. Very fresh and authentic food. The restaurant crew would continually switch out the food and keep it full. The service wasn't the friendliest but you were never without water and your dirty plates were always taken away. We couldn't get enough. Can't wait to go back! read more

Friendly customer service the food is always amazing and delicious. Will always be my go-to for Indian food in San Antonio.

Amazing variety of food! I love their Mushroom Masala, Spicy Potatoes and Eggplant, and Chicken Tikka Masala!

I will admit I was very cautious about going to this buffet. I love Indian food but buffets usually lower the flavors of food. The food is usually left out for a long time, it gets dried, cold. It's really hard to find a good buffet these days especially after the pandemic. With all they said, I was dead wrong about this space. This buffet was excellent. The food has a great variety of both meat and vegetarian dishes. When I first got there the naan appeared low and I thought it was hard. But when I got back to my table it was warm and soft. The samosas were huge! They were flavorful. The chicken masala was so tender and juicy. The mango lassi was delicious. This is a great value def a spot I would recommend for first timers to get a little of everything. The only thing was I like my Indian food spicy and I get that it's a buffet so the food offered was all mild... but I missed the spice! Other than that again great spot! read more

Frankly I'm appalled I haven't written a review for India Palace yet. I've been coming here for YEARS. I live in Austin now, but when we get a chance to be in San Antonio, the husband and I will typically stop here for dinner. Last time we came here at the request of a friend for her birthday dinner treat. It's spacious, clean, and the furniture is a little old, but it's fine you're not there to eat a chair. Service is good. If more than one of you order water or tea, they'll put a carafe of it on your table so you can refill on your own. It's a nice little touch so you don't have to wait. You want to be able to taste love? Get a vegetable samosa from here. I got two last time. I would've eaten more, but then I wouldn't have had room for the paneer or the eggplant or the vegetable rice. Everything is so good and those food warmers keep the food hot so it stays at peak deliciousness. read more

Best Indian buffet in town! So many choices & you can go back for more. Lots of vegetarian & vegan options too.

The Authentic Food and Customer Service is What made my Experience Great! The Food is Awesome! I don't have any Memory to Post Pics...But Trust Me .. One of the Best In SATX. read more

This place is near my work, so I went and had the lunch buffet about 6 months ago or so. The food was bland. Very disappointing. I had a craving for Indian food, so I went back a month or so ago and ordered takeout. Butter chicken. Still bland. I won't be back. read more

Wonderful food, been there numerous times. Buffet style always fresh. Nice people who

I give them 5 stars because this is my favorite Indian restaurant in the area. What makes it so good is that it is a buffet. I think buffets are the best way to eat Indian food so you can get a little bit of everything. The food is always hot and fresh! I believe they make their own naan as it should be. It is not a fancy place. We go here a couple times a month and we live in New Braunfels! read more

Ohh yelp reviews! How deceptive you were this time! I wanted Indian and came here based on the 600+ reviews and 4 star rating, I mean there had to be some truth to this.....but naw! It's a buffet, granted (which means bulk supply and all that, I get it), and I was excited to try a variety of things; however, the options were very basic. The chicken masala and curry were extremely bland, and watery!! The chicken was not the tender type of chicken that you would expect from an Indian cuisine, but rather tough and dry. As far as spice....non exisitent in anything. I remember eating and thinking, 'yeah this aint it' and how I'm sure my canned masala sauce at home would've been better. Someone else wrote a review and said how the buffet was very underwhelming and I have to agree a 100%. Although it was only $15.00, I wouldn't return. read more

Delicious food, love the Chai and a good variety of vegetarian options. They now have a buffet all day (well during business hours) table service off the menu is also available and the staff are attentive. The dining room is comfortable the restrooms are cramped but usually clean... read more

One word can describe my experience- yuck! The food (especially chicken dishes ) was extremely bland with no spices and chicken was old (tough and hard). They always burn the naan bread. The same dessert selection with no variety - bland fruit, watery rice pudding and a tasteless mango custard. The samosas had bland potatoes inside with no flavor. Tandoori chicken was hard & dry with no flavor. Very disappointing. I went to India Oven and food was very tasty and they had great gulab jamuns in their buffet. Public please don't choose India Palace! There are better options in town. read more

The tandoori chicken and chicken masala was so good. Services is fast. Watching them make the naan bread is entertaining. Everything is so freshly made read more

So my usual joy at an Indian buffet has not diminished. The gently spiced sauces are redolent with creamy goodness. They've lots of vegetarian options with lots of flavor and lots of carbohydrates. Great for gout but lousy for diabetes; totally worth it. Their masala chai is particularly good. It doesn't take much to improve on National Coffee Chain (tm) but India Palace leaps that hurdle without breaking into a run. Damn good soul satisfying stuff. read more
