So. Here's a hard one. The food was excellent. Chicken vindaloo spice 4 was flavorful and not too spicy. Chicken tender and sauce hot. Tikka masala was as good with white meat chicken The Bhatura was excellent , not greasy Naan as good with butter Service was excellent and hospitable Ambiance comfortable serene western music Loved the elephant in the dining room. They did mess up the heat. Mine was supposed to be 4 and wife 0. They mixed that up. Dropped from 5 to 4 stars. Food was a 5. Gave it 4 due to the mix up in heat levels. Would I come back ? Yes. read more

I told myself I wasn't going to give out five stars anymore unless I absolutely loved everything service, food, and ambiance, a true 10/10. But this place earned it. The food was delicious. The garlic naan was exactly what I'd been craving, the rice was cooked to perfection, and the chicken tikka masala was incredible. I ordered it medium spice, and it was just right rich, flavorful, and nicely thick. The spices were on point. Definitely coming back to the lunch special I came for dinner so it was a little bit more expensive than I thought. read more

Awful. Horrible. Terrible. Slop! We invited friends to our house. Since we liked Indian food we decided to try this place for take-out. One of our friends is from India and when my husband and I lived in NYC, we ate Indian food frequently. We wasted over $100 on the worst Indian food we ever tried. We threw it out and went to Uncle Sal's, our go-to emergency spot. It was Saturday night so there was no excuse for serving such horrible food. Everything looked and tasted the same. We couldn't tell the difference between cauliflower, potatoes, eggplant or chicken. Mysterious, overcooked chunks were swimming in oil. Tomato based sauce tasted the same as butter sauce and tandoori flavors. BaganBartha looked like green vomit. Other dishes looked like diarrhea that had sat on a steam table since their lunch buffet. There were no discernable nuts or raisins in the Biyrani. We asked for Mango chutney but they couldn't find it. We asked for mild to medium heat level but it was as hot as the hottest Vindaloo we've ever eaten. To top things off, they asked us to call back in 5 minutes to order because the cash register was broken. Seriously? On a Saturday night? We should not have called back and we won't be back. ICK. We're glad we went elsewhere or we might have gotten ill. Spare yourselves. read more

3/8/2025 Wife and I stopped for Lunch today. Parking 5/5 Arrived 5 minutes before opening so the lot was ours. There is plenty of private parking including Handicapped spaces by the front door. Ambiance 5/5 We were greeted immediately by a pleasant Gentleman and were seated in the waiting area. The waiting area is nice and includes a separate seating in-the-round with a map of India with photos on wall. We were seated in the dining area which is always very nice (redecorated). The white linen table dress wasn't present possibly reserved for the dinner service which is when we've visited in the past. Menu 5/5 We took a walk on the wild side, meaning we ventured from or normal order-off the menu go-to's decided to try the Lunch Service Buffet. It was time to checkout other proteins and "flavoFlavs" ! Food 5/5 Provided with the buffet is an order of Garlic/Regulr Naan and multiple trips at the Buffet. My Wife 1st trip was for the Goat Marsala and Rice, I tried the butter and mixed vegetable Marsala and jasmine rice. Absolutely amazing flavors and delicious! We both tried other flavors and proteins on our second pass. Again, everything was great. Frequent flyer tip: If you know your Indian dishes and have a favorite order from the Menu. We decided to be more adventurous today but will order our favorite (Worlds best Chicken Tikka Marsala) from the menu next trip and yes many more visits! This is the very best Indian restaurant in the Valley Keep on Yelping my Friends! read more

Have been to this place before about 5-6 years ago. Food was excellent. Now same name but I want to say definitely new owners or new cooks. Really sad not the same taste any more. Prices are up. But Taste is down. read more

This is my first time ever visiting this place Food was ok, taste was not as good. the buffet didnt have a variety of what an indian buffet usually have and half it empty was not replenished and couldn't eat my favorite chicken masala because they did not replenish it and the little pieces that I got was not as good as I know it can be. I visited today and wasn't impressed. service was not good. not friendly. they did not like it when I would ask if they can replenish the food because there hardly anything to grab. they told me to sit down when I asked for naan. in other places they are constantly replenishing food and asking if you want more naan. Would definitely not return. The place is beautiful but that doesn't matter if the service, friendliness and the food is not good. read more

Indian food buffet for $18, the options are limited but all good and sufficient. Would definitely return.

Been here like 10 times since I moved in down the street. Food is super duper yummy and the place is clean. I keep trying new stuff everytime and it's incredible everytime. The butter chicken and the cheese naan is so good read more

Just spent over $60 for a 2 person meal. Horribly small portions for the $$ with so much better Indian food out there. Will not ever buy from here again. Triple portions of rice and one naan. Complete and total ripoff. read more

Indian Delhi Palace - Rice, tiki masala and vindaloo - Indian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This Indian restaurant is still a 5 star for me. Here's an updated review since it has been a few years! Did an early Valentine's Day lunch buffet and as always the food was delicious. A few items had a bit of a kick. A buffet is a great choice to try several dishes that might be new to you! There was a fried cabbage dish that I had not tried before. Chicken seemed to be the main meat offering in many of the dishes, so if you want something not chicken related, the main menu might be a better choice. Service at noon was quick and our dirty dishes were whisked away quickly. I enjoy the interior, as there is always lots of tables. read more

I've been coming here for close to 20 years. After a few years of not wanting to make the drive we returned. No more ground lamb although I would not rate them on it, zero spice in any of the dishes, another thing I would not ding for. The problem, every hot dish at the buffet was well below what it should be kept at. Thinking it was a fluke, Friday 2/20/26 we went back with a friend at 11:55am. No reason for any dish to not be hot as everything should be freshly made. They were still way to cool. If it was 4 pm, I would be concerned. Keeping meat dishes this cool is not good. On top of that, nothing had the usual Indian spice level you expect. Chicken had the tough from being cooked the day prior feel. I worked Taco Bell in high school, we got internal random weekly audits on top of gov't, We would have been drilled for keeping meat/beans this cool. There are much better Indian restaurants. Sorry Indian Palace, what ever has happened, can't be looked passed. read more

Stopped here for lunch today! Thought at first we had to eat buffet but we were allowed to order off the menu! I do not care to eat buffet because we enjoy our leftovers...we ordered all our favorites. Everything we got tasted great and was perfectly cooked. We even enjoyed dessert! Give this place a try, but they were busy do maybe you already have! Yum! read more

Came here for the first time for Phoenix restaurant week and I liked the different variety of vegan and non vegan options. I really enjoyed the aloo matar, it was very flavorful. I got the spice level of 5 and I personally didn't think it was spicy so if you like spice I would recommend a higher level. The staff was very attentive and brought out our food quickly, the service was great. read more

I ordered Delhi Palace online as I didn't want to go out this evening. I've eaten their buffet before and it was ok. I love Indian food and have eaten it throughout my life. This may be the worst Indian I've had. Either frozen, or several day old pakora. Popadums look and taste like packaged. Butter chicken's overriding flavor is salt. Naan bread was flat and bland. I couldn't even eat it, it was so bad. Paratha was only thing that tasted remotely fresh. read more

Indian Delhi Palace has a traditional Indian menu with a wide variety of meat and vegetarian offerings. I've been for their lunch buffet and for dinner service and really enjoyed both. Sometimes the service is a bit slow but I just try to enjoy the overall experience! My favorite dish is vegetable korma and paneer tikka masala. My husband loves the lamb vindaloo and cheesy naan. read more

Ordered delivery and they sent half size containers and one rice for two entrees, $60 total. The Shrimp Korma came with four shrimp for $24. Called them and said the portions were tiny. They said, "not my problem". Never ordering from this cheap dump again. read more

The food was amazing. Many good choices. Service was friendly. Bathrooms are clean. Will definitely be back.!

Indian Delhi Palace - Butter Chicken basmati Half Plain Rice - Indian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Went today. Disappointed. They got rid of the yummy cold chickpea salad and the kheer dessert tasted awful. Definitely a new recipe which is a bummer because it was my favorite part of the buffet. And they charge $1 for naan now even with buffet. The loud, weird music is distracting and bad enough to make us want to leave early. We've been eating here for many years and likely won't be back. read more

It's been a little bit since I purchased my food from here, I didn't leave a review right away. But I remember the food being very good, and I appreciated the kindness of the serving staff. read more

The food was delicious the order in which the food came out didn't make much sense. The chicken soup was soooo good. The garlic bread delicious. read more

Stopped in last night just looking for some quick Indian food, first appearances the front of the restaurant looks really cool and inside looked nicely decorated. The restaurant was pretty slow with only one other table. Service was quick and nice. The food was very yummy. We asked for medium spice and it was hot but good. I do wish more rice was given especially since just the buttered chicken was $18, I was hoping for a little more of a serving. Overall the experience was good and I would come back. (But one request to the restaurant would be a good cleaning, walls/light switches/floor were very dirty which is noticeable from the tables.) read more

I had my birthday party there last night and everyone had a great time. Some of us did not know Indian food well and some of us have loved it for years, but all of us agreed that every dish was delicious. The staff was very friendly and our server impressed us all by getting all eight orders exactly eight, including spice levels! I chose this restaurant for my party because the food is delicious and also because the decor is lovely. Everyone was very comfortable. It's an excellent place to introduce neophytes as well. Highly recommended. Will definitely visit again. read more

Over priced for such a limited selection buffet. Price has doubled since Covid. Having eaten here for many years, with a three year absence, I was disappointed in the reduce selection. The tandory chicken, nann and curried lentils were still good, however the varied meats in the same curry sauce and watered down Palak Paneer were disapointing. I used to just stop & pick up Nann & Palak Paneer for a treat between visits. Fails my cost/benefit standard, so won't be coming back. Maybe will try again next year. read more

The food here is very good! I ordered the chicken tikka masala and naan. Very tasty! They good was brought out very quickly, and it was nice and hot. The restaurant only had 2 other tables occupied when I arrived around 6 pm, but more people arrived as I was leaving and I saw a few delivery orders being picked up. read more

excellent food and service. Fresh. Naan was fantastic. CHicken Tandoori and Spinich saag was great.

My tandori chicken was raw in the inside and the salad was far from fresh. The service is very bad they take for ever to serve and they are pretty distracted. I did spoke to what seems to be the manager at the time and he just smile. The ambiance is not the same. I used to love this place but it has fallen very drastically will not recommend at all read more

I was very excited to try this place. It was referred to me by a friend of mine who visits regularly. He gave me a $80 gift card so that I may take my family to try their Sunday brunch buffet Every thing was going great until i was denied my gift card. The host swiped the card on his machine and quickly said to me that there was no money on the gift card. I asked if he could check again and or call someone for help and he denied my request. After paying for the meal and went to the car and scanned the code on the back of the card ... to my surprise it showed that there was $80 on it. I went back and showed him proof and all I got was a shrug and was told to come back another time to try again. This left a sour taste in my mouth that made me forget the rest of my experience. I'm sure the food was good but I felt deceived. I will never come back.. read more

I have been going to this Indian buffet lunch for several years. The last two times some of the hot food dishes were room temperature and the place looked a little grungy. Some of the tables had used plates the whole time I was there. The bathroom also needed some attention. To add insult to injury, there was a price increase. I dont think it's worth the money they are now charging. read more

Whenever we're in the mood for Indian food, we usually like to go to a buffet so we can try different things. Indian Dheli Palace is one of the best Indian buffets in Phoenix they have an ample selection of both vegan and non vegetarian entries, the chicken curry, and Tikka Masala were delicious I liked the garlic Naan and Tandoori chicken. They keep the buffet replenished, so it's fresh and flavorful and a bargain at $16.95. The restaurant is beautiful, and they even have a market where you can purchase Indian food and spices. read more

Food and service was great. Loved the decor. The portions were large and filling. Overall a great experience.

So rude and lies about the tone the restaurant closes. Came from far away and 40 minutes to close, they wouldn't do a Togo order... come on.

Really good curry and Dahl. The Taj Mahal beer is smooth and thirst quenching. The service is quick and the servers are knowledgeable about the dishes. Some interesting art pieces are around the. Restaurant. read more

Shame. I used to drive 45 minutes for my favorite dish..the lamb pasanda. For years it was sliced, tender lamb meat. They are now serving this dish ( at $23 chef special) like any curry with the dried cubes of mutton. I happiky paid more for this "chefs special" because it was a better cut of meat and only Indian Palace serves a non mutton dish. I have gotten this dish over 20 times. I ordered this dish from my initial male server. When I enquired I was told I was wrong and it was never sliced despite it stating it on the menu and the ONLY reason I would drive 45 minutes for Indian. I felt gaslighted, being told repeatedly I was wromg and that is how the dish comes. At this point a female server came by. I was in the middle of my meal and she asked if everything was okay and if finished. I said it was fine. She asked if I wanted dessert and I said no. She was rude and condescending and rushed me throughout my meal. It was 5pm on Monday night so not busy. I still was eating and drinking my beer when she asked me if I wanted boxes. Then dropped off the boxes and bag ..which they never used to do. They used to wrap up my meal. What am I paying a tip for? Why can't you box up my food? Covid is over. The bill was dropped off and I told the female server I would like to stay and finish my beer while I packaged up my meal. For context ..I was in my nursing uniform. I'm a hospice RN and I had a very stressful, sad day and all I wanted was to wind down and get served the food I ordered. Instead I felt like they were anxious to get rid of me. I put my card down but after no one came to process my bill I went up to the take out stand to pay. I spoke to my initial male server and asked to speak to a manager. I was told he was not working. He asked what was wrong and I re-explained the lamb pasanda was not as advertised nor as previously experienced. I explained they used to wrap up your food and no longer do this. I explained I felt rushed..all in a calm manner. The female server was rolling silverware but left to.confront me. She moved the male server out of the way and stated " if you don't like it don't pay". I calmly stated the dish was different and she stated they had a new chef and it's not her or the male servers fault. I was happy to pay for my meal and would have tipped 10% and honestly, I found her attitude insulting. I didn't complain to get a free meal. I asked questions and was gaslit and treated like an inconvenience. I didn't want to talk to her but she made a point to confront me. After working 13 hours today with dying people the last thing I need to do or want to do is write a review. But Indian Palace..you deserve it. I won't be coming back. read more
