A family run restaurant with delicious food and great ambiance! Sadly since the pandemic, the majority of their income comes from delivery and take away so nobody really comes into the restaurant to eat as much which is too bad as the husband and wife team runac the foh & kitchen smoothly and efficiently that it's a joy to eat in! Aside from the usual butter chicken and chicken tikka masala entrees that are excellent, their Goat & Lamb combo biryani is a MUST order as well as their Tarka Dahl! Love that they offer PaninPni Cannot wait to go back!! read more

Came here for a family dinner but have been coming here for over 15 years, some of the best local Indian food you can get. The flavors and spice packed in every dish is beyond exquisite. Their portions are so generous. It's a warm cozy feeling inside with a great ambiance. It's a family owned business with tremendous owners, always so friendly and pleasant. The service is always top notch. A big reason we constantly return. Whether it's take away or dine in it always is perfect. read more

If you're looking for authentic delicious Indian food in Long Island, I highly recommend you check out Kiran Palace. Everything is made fresh and we know this because we did modifications to the food and they didn't say no to a single modification. Everything came out nice and hot and the food was amazing! The restaurant feels more like a casual, old school Indian restaurant set up. It's great for big groups or even just a couple. They start us off with pappadum with 2 chutneys. The cilantro chutney was fresh and had a nice kick to it. The brown chutney was sweet but not overly sweet. For breads, they made us chili naan and wow there was so much chili in the naan - it was perfect for someone like me who loves spicy food. They also made us butter roti and onion kulcha. All the breads tasted really good - they were nice and soft and perfectly cooked. As our mains we got the dal makhani and paneer tikka masala. The paneer tikka masala felt authentic, finally the way a tikka masala should be made. It was the right amount of buttery but also had so much flavor in it. The sauce was more tomato based which also enhances the flavors. There was also so much paneer in it unlike other Indian restaurants where sometimes you struggle to find the protein. The dal makhani was also really nice. It was well cooked with the right firmness to the lentils and kidney beans. I highly recommend you stop by and get some food authentic Indian food. read more

I ordered extra spicy -all white meat chicken curry. I called them to inform them how excellent and on the mark-that my chicken curry was. The white meat chicken I ordered was so tender; curry sauce EXACTLY how i wanted it... EXTRA spicy. i asked for extra sauce in my dish... and received it. i just wish they filled the rice up a bit more-i do notice its not fully packed to the top (the rice) in its container. The Keema Samosa is really top notch. This is the only Indian restaurant I patronize in the Hicksville/Plainview area. Been doing it for years, now. Just please pack the rice more in the container.

I have to make things right and share praise for this humble yet extraordinary family-owned Indian restaurant. Sometimes it's painful returning to places that hold memories for my me and my dad because they were places we'd go with my mother. Since she died almost four years ago, we've slowly been going back to some of these places. Dad wanted Indian recently and because I rarely get to eat it in New Orleans (it's not plentiful like it is on Long Island and Queens, sadly), I agreed, though I thought we'd be hitting up one of the many dosa spots in the area. Dad wanted to come to Kiran Palace. I remembered it when I walked in, but Dad said he and Mom would come here all the time. Without looking at my previous review, I felt drawn to the chana masala so I ordered it ("Indian hot") from our really sweet waiter. I also foolishly ordered mulligawtany soup, thinking it was lentil soup (that's how long it's been since I've had Indian food). When it arrived, I asked the waiter if it was the right soup and thankfully he kindly righted my wrong because mulligawtany is not only NOT lentil soup, but it is made with chicken. Daal. It was daal that I wanted and it's excellent here. And then the chana masala. I devoured it! Literally the best that I've ever had and I marveled over how such a simple, rustic dish could be so good. And then I read my previous review and how I much I preferred what my mother ordered that night... chana masala! It's decadently spicy and rich and just literally perfect. The owner came over to us and she remembered my father, asked where Mom was (that's always hard, but it's meaningful). Dad always feels amazed when owners remember him and I don't know, it could have been a sad moment but it really was just... nice. I'm glad to put Kiran Palace on rotation for when I am back home visiting my family. read more

Still literally the best local Indian restaurant in Long Island. From the food / service and ambience, everything is top notch. Absolutely my fav local Indian restaurant. Their spice has gone down, but when you tell them you want it extremely spicy they'll kick it up a notch. But that's a small notch now lol. Still amazing. read more

Indian lunch buffet at Kiran Palace was excellent. From Pakoras and Nan brought to the table, to the numerous vegetarian and non-vegetarian options at the buffet bar, everything was delicious. Rice pudding, creamy and tasty as well. Highly recommend this restaurant for it's buffet lunch. read more

Good family owned and run. Awesome food and very good service. The owner lady was really nice. We had buffet and tried all items. Everything was really good. Nice quiet place. read more

Have come here multiple times always for take out. I can't speak to the ambiance but the food is always fantastic. I got the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan and keema naan. Both dishes came with rice and cooked very well. The sauce is everything and always enjoy it. I give it 4 stars for two reasons. First is when I went to pick up the food the gentleman refused to look me in the eye which I thought was odd. Perhaps he was distracted but made me question it on the way out and didn't make me feel like an appreciated patron. They are also on the higher end of pricing for dishes. I wouldn't come here if you were looking for a cheap dinner. Dishes were about $18 each and another $5 for the naan. read more

After coming here for years with my parents I decided to have a dinner with friends on a Saturday night. We made a reservation for 8 and were seated immediately upon arrival. The service was incredible for such a large group and the food was outstanding. We will definitely be returning again and cannot recommend it enough! read more

If you want GREAT Indian food go to Kiran Palace. Their food is always delicious. Had Tandoori fish last night along with chicken chettinad. Both were fantastic. The fish was Mahi Mahi.

Came to Kiran Palace to celebrate our son's 30th birthday. We really enjoyed our meals. We shared everything-an appetizer of paneer pakora, chicken Tikka masala, saag paneer, and the tandoori mixed grill, which was generous and delicious. We had some Naan and paratha as well. Service was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back soon. read more

Been going here for a couple of decades...the food has always been excellent! Highly recommend

Kiran Palace has THE BEST Indian food in not only Hicksville, but all of Long Island!!! We love going here and are always satisfied. The owner does a great job training her employees because the food is always perfect and the servers are always polite and attentive. We've been coming here for at least 10 years and plan on coming for many more! Don't waste your time eating Indian food anywhere else! read more

We picked Kiran Palace for an impromptu date night and figured we'd try a new place. Kiran's Palace has been on our list for a while so it was time. We were worried that the restaurant would be crowded on a Saturday night but it wasn't a bad crowd at all. We were seated in about 5 minutes and given papar while we pursued the menu. A nearby table got a sizzling skillet of tandoori chicken, so of course we had to order a sizzling skillet of tandoor chicken. The chicken was delicious and hot. We also got samosa chaat, and I have to say it might be the best chaat I've had in a while. 5 stars on the chaat! Honey got saag paneer and I got paneer makhani. I'm not usually a saag fan, but this saag was amazing. It was warm and creamy and not overly spinach tasting. 5 stars on the saag! We had fresh naan and fresh rice, and the service was pretty solid. I'd definitely go back, but I'd stay away from the makhani. There's a lunch buffet, so that might be my next trip there. read more

The food was amazing came here for lunch with my sister. The portions were great the host was very nice and friendly. Coming here again

This review is for delivery during COVID. We ordered delivery because we were craving Indian food. The samosas were outstanding! Even with the time for delivery and even when we reheated them the next day the samosas were delicious, crunchy shell and lightly spicy stuffing. We also had palak paneer - very tasty. The chicken tikka masala was more spicy than expected but good. The lamb vindaloo was ok, I expected more spice but the meat was tender. Overall, it was a delicious meal. Definitely a solid meal - and the portions were enough for 2 days of meals. read more

Delicious Indian food with a lovely owner and clean and cheerfully decorated restaurant. I went for a lunch veg special with several different veg / bean/ rice dishes which was a very good value and surprising amount of food for $11. Came with naan and milky creamy desert Rasmalai. My husband had goat curry which was yummy, flavorful and mild spiced as he requested. We def will be back! read more

Indian buffet that keeps on serving! This Indian restaurant is a no frills spot. I went here for the lunch buffet and they do have a good assortment options from tiki Marsala, goat, curry options, salad, fried potatoes, deserts. When I came in I was seated right away by a friendly waitstaff and gave us delicious nan bread. Now whenever you go to a buffet you are going for quantity over quality and from that standpoint this place is good. The food is cooked without much oil/lard so you don't go into a foodcoma but it does lack some flavor. I would come here again if I was really hungry and wanted a lot of protein for cheap. In short: - good buffet for the price - nice waitstaff read more

Kiran Palace - Lunch buffet! - Indian Near Me - Hicksville, New York

Another great little no frills Indian buffet for lunch. Priced right at $7.95 for lunch with fresh Naan and a nice selection of your basic Indian staples featuring Tandoori chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Rogan josh and other vegetarian assortments, salads and desserts. On the negative the lids covering the food are made out of brass and you need to manual hook the lids in place at each station to get your food, then proceed to unhook and put the lid back over the food, as silly as this may sound it's an extra step that is annoying, but you look past this because the food is good and the price is right! The service is poor, yes I know, It's a buffet, but the removal of our finished plates from our tables were done in two speeds, slow and stopped. The waiter just forgot about us and we were forced to put our used plates at the empty table behind us, not once, not twice but several times. I'm here mainly for the food and the price you can't go wrong. The place is located in a strip mall with a huge parking lot which is a plus. read more

For 7.95 per head, their lunch buffet is pretty decent. Firstly, they don't have soup. Secondly, they do have a variety of dishes but nothing extra ordinary. Chicken tandoori, the appetizer was the best. Their chutneys were good too, the mint one and the tamarind one as well. Vegetarian was bad. Mutton curry seemed like it wasn't fresh. But the desserts were really amazing, or maybe I just love sweets in general. Carrot halwa and Kheer made up for the mediocre dishes, at least for me. Wouldn't go again though. read more

Better pricing than some of the better well known restaurants in the area and although the food did hit the spot as I've been craving some Indian food since the pandemic hit, the curry did lean towards the slightly sweeter side. I'd have preferred slightly less sweet and a hit more heat. Overall decent Indian food and would come again. read more

I recently worked with Satinder at Kiran Palace to cater a party for 30 people. She was lovely to work with and the food was AMAZING! The tandoori chicken was moist, tender and delicious, the rice was seasoned to perfection, the palak paneer was some of the best I have ever had, the little samosas were the best samosas I have ever had, the rice pudding and Gajar Halva was fabulous and the aloo Gabi (that I was nervous about ordering) was fantastic! I just cannot say enough wonderful things about the food! and the server, Jay, that we hired from Kiran Palace was perfect with setting up and making sure everything was just right. I give this my absolutely highest rating! read more

My wife and I have been looking for a new Indian place in the area since our old favorite just wasn't cutting it anymore. Kiran Palace got good reviews on Yelp, so we thought we'd give it a shot. We're happy we did. In addition to great food... we're very big on service. Kiran Palace scored on both! Our server was attentive, and the owners checked in as we ate to see if we were enjoying our meals. I appreciated that touch. We loved the vegetable samosas. The crust was light and flaky, and the stuffing was spicy ad flavorful. Our vegetable pakoras were ok -- but I'd skip them next time and try something else. My wife had the paneer makhani and I ordered lamb rogan josh. Both came with basmati rice and were delicious! Our bread basket had 3 different selections... one tastier than the next. The location is in a typical Long Island strip mall, and the interior could use a freshening up -- but was comfy and clean. We'll be back next time we have a hankerin' for indian! read more

Okay, first of all - they need to get rid of the lady who answers the phone ALL THE TIME, aka KIRAN the owner, and gives attitude. You are driving your customers away, you are not nice and it's time you brush up on customer service skills. Also, you do not follow any special notes on delivery orders and people spend their hard earned money to enjoy a fulfilling meal. She can't handle pressure but also wants to be there controlling everything. I will say, her son is excellent and he needs to take over. This lady expects to take peoples money and give attitude, the audacity. STOP PICKING UP THE PHONE AND ARGUING WITH PEOPLE. Thank yourself for this review, enough is enough. read more

Outstanding food and service. I picked up the wrong order - and when I got home I realized I had another person's order. I called the restaurant and they were apologetic and delivered the food to me. Most restaurants do not want food back when there is an order mixup - we used the opportunity to sample some items that we would not have ordered. We had vegetable samosa, a chicken dish (spicy) and garlic naan. We ordered a few different chicken dishes - chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, a couple rice dishes and naan. The food was excellent - we ordered it mild and it was good for our group. I'll go back and order some items that I would have liked to order. Kiran Palace was one of my dad's favorite restaurants. I plan to go back soon. read more

Great atmosphere great food love the service. Will be back my husband and I love this restaurant. I would recommend them any day.

Please do not go by the reviews that say that this place is below standard. This is a small family owned business, with extremely courteous staff. The food here is excellent, believe me, I've had enough Indian food in my life and am able to differentiate between good and poor. The food here is delicious. A great place to BYOA, sit down with a group of friends and just chill. I'm so so happy I found this Indian restaurant in the Hicksville area. Do go and check this place out guys, you'll won't be disappointed!! Recommendations: shrimp pakoras, non veg platter for appetizers. Lamb vindaloo, yellow dal (to die for) bread basket. Dessert: rass malai. PS: I love my food spicy, and if you'll do the same, please ask them in advance. read more

SERIOUSLY, this is the second long time Indian restaurant in the area - that has replaced basmati rice with ......PLAIN WHITE RICE ! WTF ! ? Is basmati rice that expensive ? Still, this $11.99 all you can eat lunch is fine . Place lacks charm, like your eating in the library. Food needs to be kept HOTTER in temperature ! Service is basic. Eh. read more

Located in the King Kullen mini mall, behind Pep Boys. It is either on OCR or 107, to me it's not clear. I hope you will have an easier time finding it than I did. One great dish which we were told is offered NOWHERE in NYC is Dahi Wala Bharta - which is eggplant in a yellowish yogurt sauce with spices in it. It's got some heat to it, but the consistency of the eggplant cools you by the time it goes down. Wow, what depth! what a vegetable concoction! Nan was everything I wanted. Curry chicken had a great sauce on it. Tandoori chicken was moist and went down well. Desserts for the buffet were a cold rice pudding and a hot gulab jamun - both were a pleasant topper to my stomach full of chicken, goat, eggplant, rice and spices. A weekday lunch, and they had a good amount of locals, which shows it was legit. Minutes before, I was around the corner at a better location vegetarian Indian buffet and I could hear a pin drop - there was one man there, he handed me the menu. read more

Popular Northern Indian Restaurant tucked back in a shopping plaza on the corner of Hicksville Rd. and Old Country Rd. Lunch offers a variety of everything... When I was there among two other tables who actually were of Indian descent pulled up a car of four young guys early 20s. They raced in and seemed to know the proprietor, and obviously it was their favorite place. We liked it as they had a lot of items. Their paneer was peas in a smooth curry sauce. Not coconut, that is Southern Indian. But awesome. read more

I have eaten here for both the lunch buffet and I took out for dinner one night. My friend is an Indian Lady and Kiran she said is one of her favorites. Was very psyched when I heard this as I am still in search for a great Indian Restaurant. The day we went, there were the typical choices on the buffet - Tandoori Chicken (extremely moist, even the white meat), Goat Masala and Curry Chicken (very flavorful). Some other Veggie selections but I'm not into that so it was skipped. Good Naan and great Gulab Jamun. Haven't tried the Rasmalai yet but I will next time. Takeout - well, I liked it but my husband didn't (can't go by that - not a Yelper and too judgemental). Excellent Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Pasanda. Perfectly flavored as I don't like it too spicy. The Samosas were ok but GREAT Tamarind sauce. You can't have a good Samosa without that Tamarind sauce. I guess the downfall with takeout is that the portions may not be as big as if eaten in and you can't return things if made incorrectly (unless of course you live close enough which I don't). In our order, the Chicken and Lamb dishes did not have much of each and the Onion and Paneer Bread was missing the cheese (either I couldn't understand her or she couldn't understand me when the order was placed - damn that LI accent!!). The flavor and quality of the food well made up for it though. So, I might not takeout again but I think that Kiran Palace may have the potential of becoming a favorite so I will be definitely going back!! read more
