    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!

    This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants here in San Antonio. My family and I love coming here, it's a buffet restaurant so we serve ourselves. I love trying a bit of all the food. The waiters are always nice and attentive. They have plenty of seating as well.

    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.

    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.

    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 !

    We love going to India Palace on the weekends for the buffet. Everything is delicious. The mushroom matar is my favorite! Great service as well. They stay on top of putting out fresh food

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

We were originally going to go to Mare e Monte but the line was too long and we all were simultaneously craving Indian cuisine. This happened to be right next door. Ambiance is more like a family restaurant so definitely expect kids and multiple family affairs but the noise levels didn't take us away from how excellent the food was !! If it matters to you they do serve water with water bottles. I personally love a nice iced cup of water esp to help refresh my mouth from the spices. that would be my only ding and that's nitpicking.
