Wow!! Stopped by Zia's biryani and decided to check it out. Oh my gosh, I've been searching everywhere in Philadelphia for amazing Indian / desi food. Let's just say I know where I will be going every week! The food was cooked perfectly and everything was so delicious!! We had the buffet food today, and I'm usually not a fan of buffets, but their food was cooked way better than Indian food I've had in the area. I can't wait to order a la carte and check it out. Chicken biryani was delicious, the chicken to rice ratio was perfect, and that rice was seasoned so beautifully, that I went back for more three times. I also had their chicken tikka which was cooked in such an amazing sauce that will have you licking the plate. Kheer was so yummy, I'm not a fan of kheer, but after having it today I think I just haven't had good kheer until now. The saag paneer was incredible and it really hit the spot! The owners were incredibly kind and hospitable and made sure we were happy! They kept checking on us and really made us feel like we were eating at home. The space had an open concept, and it was very clean. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought and care into this place. My advice seriously check this place out!! It's so worth it and extremely delicious and it's the most authentic Indian spot in town. I'm honestly ready to come back tomorrow to order more Indian food!!

We will be coming back! The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and everything we ate was outstanding. We got the chicken samosas (my husband hadn't had samosas before, and I'm glad these were his first -- what a fantastic first impression!), shrimp curry, garlic naan, baingan bharta, and chai. The ambience in the restaurant was cozy and comfortable. Thank you for a great dinner experience!

26 dollars for curry chicken. Curry sauce watery and no flavor. Wouldn't have mind the price if the food was good. Very disappointing

Food was excellent. Very fresh. Vegetable pakora was the best I have had. Excellent service. Reasonable prices. Will go there again.

Covid Takeout Review…read more Did a GrubHub takeout from Shagun Palace yesterday, and was very satisfied with the result. The restaurant is in the rear of a shopping center on Street Road, Bensalem, where there is a significant cluster of South Asian kitchens. Competition being severe, the quality is higher than in many more isolated Indian houses. Our order: Veggie Samosa for an appetizer; Chicken Korma, Chili Chicken - Dry, as entrees; and Baingan Bartha (curry eggplant), for a veggie side; and Garlic Naan to soak up the sauces. The foods were all very good to excellent, with kudos to the korma and dry chili chicken, which displayed spice skill with the sauces. The bird was perfectly cooked, and not at all dried out. If there was a weakness, it was the Naan, which appeared premade and merely heated in the oven before wrapping in foil. It was thicker and drier than normal, and not the least bit flakey, nor with expected air pockets. There was practically no garlic flavor. Next time, skip the naan. There are talented hands at Shagun Palace where they are allowed to perform their magic. They are masters of curry cream reductions, but make a mistake in not carrying the expertise through to their breads. If they lack a tandoor for BBQ and Indian oven breads, they really should invest in one. It would make Shagun a more complete 5 Star experience.

I wanted to give a try on this restaurant for a long time and placed an order for pickup. There are…read moreparking options available in front of the restaurant and shared with other businesses. The staff is friendly and got the order ready in time. They seem to have a buffet for lunch and a banquet hall attached. The anquet hall looked great. The food is very mediocre, and the chicken pakora tasted very bad spices, and chicken was not binding together. See the picture. The chicken biryani tasted just like a mix and not a good taste at all. I'm definitely not returning back.

I had to wait a little bit once I arrived, but the order was all there and only my mint chutney was missing. The inside dining area looked nice and bright. There were a few tables of families enjoying their meals. When we got home and dug in everything was nice and hot. The Rajni Special Chicken Biryani - chicken pieces were small, tender and had light breading. It was a big portion that could feed a few people, but I wasn't too impressed by the chicken. It was the deep fried chicken pieces used in the Chicken 65 dish my friend ordered. They were ok, but I would have preferred just straight up marinated/spiced chicken with the Biryani. The Chicken Tikka Kebab - had a couple pieces charred and dry but the juicy pieces were very good and flavorful. My wife orders from here for work lunches and enjoys the Paneer Tikka Masala. She said even though she asks for light spice it usually has more punch. The plain naan was fresh and very good. Their menu is quite extensive. I don't think I've ever seen Indo Chinese dishes on a menu before. They also had Dosa specials and South Indian specialties. For local Indian grub I think Rajni is my spot. It's not on busy Street Road and the food was a solid four stars good. Thanks guys!!

These were very delicious and recommend them for those who don't know a lot about Indian food. The customized spice level (1-10) was very nice as well. I recommend a spice level of 5 as I found it delicious and tolerable even in 80 degree weather. The service was very polite and quick. I ordered in a small but air-conditioned space that I could wait in. The wait was about less than 20 minutes and was well worth it. The container wasn't very secure so I wouldn't recommend traveling far with it.

Hence the scale of 0 lowest to 7 highest. We started off with an order of the chicken Samosa and I will tell you it was probably one of the top to samosas that we've had nice and soft not oily greasy the meat mix inside was just sensational dipping sauces a real treat. For a two entrées that we shared, one was the lamb Rogan Josh, pieces of landmarinated and yogurt with herbs spiced cooked in a special gravy it was a home run comfy food kind of meal. We ordered space at three next time I think we're gonna do a five want the flavor profile. The second dish was the Malabar chicken stew which is kerala style chicken stew recipe in a rich coconut milk curry stewed with vegetables chunks and chicken and flavored with Malabar coast spices a very nice dish. we ordered it at a three spice. next time I think I'm going for five or six on spice to get that flavor profile. Overall first experience, nicely surprised! Everything was extremely fresh already had a really nice aroma good taste friendly service at the door of course. See my photos

An authentic Indian/Pakistani restaurant that delivers high quality food in a casual atmosphere…read more The lunch/afternoon buffet had all the right dishes to feed my soul. From Goat curry, Keema with kebab pieces, curry chicken, saag paneer, chole and much more. This place is sure to deliver. Chicken tikka masala/Butter chicken is just right for the American palate while the other dishes taste like momma's cooking. Roti and naan were pillowy soft and came out piping hot. Can't wait to come back again. This is my 4th time here and this place has never let me down. If you're in the mood for South Asian food you've got to give this place a try. Nice Lahore style flavors.

Upon entering this small restaurant, we were warmly welcomed and seated promptly. Although the buffet was the star of the show, if you will, I'm pretty sure that you could order from a menu as well. The buffet was small but every item that we tried was absolutely delicious! Believe it, or not, we both flipped for the basmati rice that was cooked perfectly. They also had a light yellow rice (I'm not sure what type this was). Naan came with our buffet - very good and fresh! Drinks weren't included- my only single ding. Yummmm :)

I absolutely enjoyed my Saag paneer Palaak paneer…read more Service was really wonderful. I felt very welcome. Although I ordered from the menu It looks like they had just had a buffet for lunch! So I definitely wanna come back for lunch also!! I enjoyed the delicately sweet peshwari naan with my curry!! So delicious!!

If you read nothing else - ORDER THE GARLIC CHICKEN…read more Ok, now for everything else....we decided to try out this place, which felt incredibly taboo bc we LOVE our Indian Palace restaurant. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendliest person behind the counter. She led us to our table where we enjoyed reading through their expansive menu. We decided on some samosa's, lamb korma, chicken Tikka and the star of the show - GARLIC CHICKEN. I'm going to start with the Garlic Chicken because I have never had something like this before anywhere else and it is listed as an appetizer. If you love garlic as much as I do, please do yourself a favor and RUN here to get this. My husband, son and I FOUGHT over this plate because it was so delicious. We had to order a whole extra basket of naan to dip it in because it was SPECTACULAR. The rest of the plates were very tasty as too! The Korma was delicious and soft. And I haven't met a naan I didn't like. Really aside from the garlic chicken what made this experience great was the service. It was a young woman who noticed I was speaking Spanish to my son and also began speaking Spanish to us. She was incredibly thoughtful and kept checking in on us as well. Overall, we look forward to returning. On the weekend they run a buffet which I am super into to try more of their dishes.
