India Palace serves absolutely yummy southern Indian delicacies that scream out what I want in a indian restaurant. Spicy, vibrant and wonderful. We had the palik paneer, a creamed spinach mixture loaded with a farmers style cheese. .. with chicken korma - a creamy spicy chicken dish. Garlic naan flat bread and rice flavored with caraway and butter. Can't described hou wonderful. The service is impeccable, you know the kind with 4 or 5 waiters per table. And don't forget to get the chai tea. Best I ever had. It is all ala cart so it can get expensive quickly so bring friends and share a few selections. Took a star off for the prices as it makes a trip here become a once in a while place instead of a weekly occasion. Don't forget the dessert, weusually get the pistachio and mango ice cream or the rice pudding. This is the kind of place that I judge.All other indian restaurants against. And it's not in cordova, where all the best asian places are.

| A Flavor Explosion in Memphis! If you're looking for…read moreauthentic South Indian cuisine that doesn't cut corners, Cafe India is easily one of the best spots in Memphis. Even before you walk in, the aroma lets you know you're in for a treat. Why It's a Must-Visit: * The Food: The balance of spices is incredible. Whether you're a fan of the creamy Chicken Tikka Masala, Kadhai Paneer, Malai Kofta or looking for something with a kick like their Lamb Vindaloo, every dish feels fresh. * The Naans: You can't come here and not get the garlic naan. It's perfectly pillowy with just the right amount of char. * The Service: The staff is consistently warm and attentive. They're great at helping you navigate the menu if you aren't sure about spice levels. * Vibe: It has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that works just as well for a casual weeknight dinner. Pro Tip: Don't skip the Mango Lassi--it's the perfect way to cool down your palate if you go bold on the spice levels! *The Dosa Spotlight* The real star of the show for me is the Dosa selection. It's hard to find South Indian staples done this well in the city. * The Variety: They offer an impressive range, from the classic Masala Dosa or Mysore Dosa to the more adventurous Guntur Podi and Cheese and Ghee Dosa varieties (my kid loves them). * The Texture: They nailed the "golden ratio"--the crepes are incredibly thin and shatteringly crisp on the outside, yet soft and slightly tangy on the inside. * The Pairings: Each dosa comes with fresh coconut chutney and a sambar that actually has depth and a nice tamarind tang. The potato masala filling was seasoned perfectly--not too mushy, just pure comfort. They also have a Bot that delivers food table side which is a BIG attraction for my son. Memphis has a lot of great food, but Cafe India holds its own as a top-tier destination for anyone craving real-deal flavors. I'll definitely be back.

The restaurant was very clean, welcoming, and the food was absolutely amazing. The chicken tikka came out hot, fresh, and packed with flavor.

I'm glad I finally stopped in because this place has earned a new customer. I'll definitely be back very soon!

We started with the vegetable samosas (so good we ate them before snapping a pic!) and ordered lamb curry, garlic naan, and basmati rice for our entrees. The food was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor, and the portions were generous. Both the quality and quantity earn five stars. While the venue may feel a bit dated, it has that nostalgic charm--like stepping into one of your great-grandparents' favorite historic spots. It feels like they've chosen to keep the history alive, and honestly, it adds to the experience. If you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Memphis with flavor, hospitality, and heart--Golden India is the spot.

Still thinking about the texture and the tangy and quite spicy 3.5/5 thin red curry, the potato curry dips that reigned supreme vs the creamy earthy finger white one. Plain Dosa $10.99 5/5* All 3 curries were yummo and while no lunch menu here, the curries do come with white basmati rice. Oddly the goat in Andhra Curry $19.99 appeared quite white in color and thought it was chicken thigh hmm but hubby loved it. 'Hot' was about as spicy as the red Dosa curry Butter Chicken mild $17.99 was yum, not overly creamy or cloyingly sweet that tends to be a problem I am sure as adjusted for US palates but Social D's was great though less tomato forward, but very worthy. Lamb Saagwala $19.99 medium was actually kinda mild (again that Dosa curry musta got us spice prepped haha) in a green sea of creamy spinach. Garlic butter naan #3.99 was crisp, thin middle, puffy edges with slight doughy chew, very good, and a 2nd order soon followed. Taj Mahal bottled beer $5.99 had a deep golden color, very malty palate mixed with a slight hop for a balanced day lager, an easy lunch sip. My BILaw was against trying Indian food, get this 'second' time claiming it was not for him, turned out loves everything we ordered today and professed to a return in future!! Yee ha! Menu is extensive with Rice Biryanis - unusual to see 4 distinct styles from different regions vs the generic rice biryani with different proteins. And Poori the hollow puffs with veg/curry dips. Again more unusual curry offerings include a couple not familiar with, Kadahi-Chettinaad-Andhra. And an Indo-Chinese menu that I've not come across in any US or UK menu. As out of state visitors I am sure SDIC will get another family billing, with our new fan of both Indian and in particular, Social D's Indian cuisine ;)
