Love Indian Food. Went here for dinner…read more First thing, parking. You can park on the street (if you can find a spot), but there is parking behind the building (see sign photo). Food and service were very good. Not as spicy/hot as I would get back home (FL), but then again - they know me back home. They gave us a ton of rice. I liked that. Beats having to ask for more. The naan bread was also very good. Definitely worth a visit.

Located right on grad avenue with relatively easy to find parking spots (at least on week days)…read more This is a nifty place to visit. The dining area is clean, the servers and host attentive. We tried mango lassi and got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. The lassi was fantastic. The tikka masala was mid at best and the naans seemed a bit doughy. Probably cannot tell from the picture but the rice unfortunately seemed more like a short grain/sticky rice than long grain basmati which is the norm at all the other Indian places around town and everywhere. Again, kudos to the staff and their hospitality but the food was a bummer. Planning on giving it another try hopefully next month sometime

I was looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately the food was disappointing. The…read morecoconut chutney served with the dosa had a slimy texture that didn't seem fresh. The Gobi 65 was extremely spicy, heavily topped with chilli powder. We ended up scratching off the top layer to remove the spices but it didn't help. The chole in chole bhature was also much spicier to the point where it overpowered all the other flavors. The bhature was very doughy inside and tasted like it had been fried in oil that had been reused many times. We also ordered aloo paratha which had very little filling approximately only about 10% with most bites being just plain dough. This was one of the worst Indian dining experiences we've had. We kept hoping at least one of the dishes would be nice, but unfortunately every item we ordered was disappointing. I hope the restaurant can improve the quality of these dishes.

I think this might be the best Butter Chicken I've ever had. Overall, this place is fantastic. My…read moreactual rating would be 4.5 out of 5, but I couldn't justify taking away a full star, so I'm rounding up to five since Yelp still doesn't allow half stars. I'm not sure how we didn't find out about this place until almost a year after it opened. Apparently, they've been around since July 2025. The interior of the restaurant looks clean and nice. I already want to go back to dine-in sometime and I'm interested in their weekend buffet. We ordered takeout on a Tuesday for dinner and chose Medium spice for everything. I got the Butter Chicken, and I think it was the best Butter Chicken I've ever had. For the price, I was hoping the portion would be just slightly larger, but taste-wise, it was absolutely amazing. We also ordered the Wet Chicken 65 and really enjoyed that as well. The portion size was pretty decent for this. I would order it again, but I'm also very interested in trying the Chicken 555 next time. My wife got the Szechuan Noodles with Chicken and liked them. I tried some and liked them too. The noodles come in a great sized portion. My Butter Chicken came with rice, but I had to order Garlic Naan separately for an extra $4.50. The Garlic Naan was fantastic, but I was disappointed by how little came with the order for almost $5. Next time, I would be tempted to order two, but then the price starts increasing pretty dramatically. Basically, if you're ordering more than one curry style dish, you'll probably need multiple orders of Garlic Naan unless you're fine eating everything with rice or on its own. During the week, it seems like the restaurant doesn't open until 5 pm. I get it... it's probably slow between lunch hour and 5pm. But it was a little frustrating because we like to pick up takeout shortly after work. When I tried placing the order around 4:45, the earliest available pickup time wasn't until 5:30pm. I really wish they allowed customers to schedule online orders for pickup at 5pm or even 5:15. They do not charge a service fee, which is a big deal for restaurants in 2026. There was no credit card fee either. That also contributed to why I rounded the rating up to five stars. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying this place. It will likely become our new regular Indian unless we want to eat earlier and don't want to wait until 5:30. I wish the Garlic Naan portion was larger, and that the Butter Chicken came with a little more food for the price, but the food is still fantastic.

It was dark outside when arrived and we missed the turn on the first pass. The parking lot is very small and the front of the restaurant doesn't face Rice St. As other reviewers have mentioned, the restaurant itself was rather small, probably only offering seating for a couple dozen people at most. Ambiance isn't something you're going to go to this restaurant for. While they had main and side dishes I was familiar with, they also had dishes I wasn't as familiar with. We ordered the samosas to start and they came out fast and were delicious. I ordered the chicken biryani since other reviewers spoke so highly of it. For context, this was my first time having Nepalese food. It appears there are differences between the spices typically used in Nepalese food that aren't typically used in Indian dish equivalents (or perhaps not to the same extent), but I didn't care for the strong blend of seasonings in the dish. At first it was hard to place what spice it was until I bit into a clove, and that's when I realized that was the flavor profile I wasn't expecting in the biryani that I was enjoying. It's safe to say that I was expecting more of a tumeric, ginger, garlic biryani, and not the warmer spices biryani that is perhaps the Nepalese style. The raita helped tame some of the flavor so I could eat some of it. I'm sure it's delicious to those who are fans of this combination of spices, it just wasn't for me. My daughter ordered the alook palak and said it was ok. In comparison to the amount of biryani I received, her portion size was quite small. Overall, I'm glad we tried some place new, and I had a new food experience. However, it's safe to say that I won't likely be returning, but again, perhaps Nepalese food isn't my jam.

There is a reason that if you go to an Indian wedding in the Twin Cities, the meal is most likely going to be catered by India Palace, and if you're at an Indian party and the host didn't want to cook for a big group, it's most likely going to be catered by this place.

If you weren't hungry before, you will be now. The restaurant is clean, the background music is at a good volume and we were able to get a booth right away. The booths are a bit on the smaller side for four people. Our drink orders included mango lassi, glasses of white wine (heavy pours ), and sparking water. Every glass was emptied. Pairing with our drinks we ordered chicken 65, spice level 3, and Dahi Puri. The chicken 65 was delicious but at a spice level 3 it was the tippy top of my spice level. The Dahi Puri needs to be eaten in one bite. The shell is fragile and is filled with liquid - very good but not what we expected. We each ordered our own entree, but they are big enough to be shared. Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Shahi Korma, Chicken Tikka, and Chicken Makhani. All were ordered at spice level 3, except the Chicken Tikka. These were milder and easier for my Minnesota spice palette to handle. We also ordered multiple orders of regular naan and garlic naan. I appreciate that they served the naan and rice together instead of individual servings. With limited table space the fewer plates the better. We had plenty of leftovers for us all to take home. Overall this was a delicious dinner and I'd highly recommend!
