We came here for the first time in years. We used to love the buffet, but it just isn’t as good as it used to be. They have raised the price a lot for a lunch buffet too. I really missed the samosas they use to have on the buffet. They did bring out bread that was delicious. The items on the buffet were either really bad or pretty good. They had remodeled since the last time I was in here. I did not like the dirty table cloth hanging down on my legs. Kind of gross. The floor and/or rugs by the buffet were extremely sticky. It was ridiculous how stick they were. Get new rugs already! I will not come back here the next time I’m on this side of town. Disappointed.

By far one of the best Indian restaurants we have ever eaten at! The buffet was well stocked and had a good variety of levels of spice. We will definitely be stopping by the next time we’re in town!

Food was really bad. I dont know who would eat it. Ordered pakora and got sliced potato disks…Kashmir Nan was dried crust of bread. Terrible food!! Even rice was not basmati…just mushy cheap short grain rice. Spent 70$ on this

I recently had the pleasure of dining at India Palace restaurant, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was warmly greeted by the staff, and their hospitality throughout the evening was exceptional.

We have gone here from time to time over the years. We may not live nearby but for a long time it was one of the very few Indian restaurants in the area. Good then, good-to-great now. When the buffet is on it is great and otherwise as a sit-down restaurant it is still excellent. No flashy lights, no fancy things, inside but a nice quiet place to enjoy your dinner with comfortable seating and space at the tables for your food.

Never go here unless you want to waste your money!! Yes I say this after our very first and definitely the last visit on August 10, 2023. We were thinking to order Thali, but The server warned thali will not feed our hunger as the amount is very little!!! Then we chose Goat Karahi, extremely disappointed, we coul not find a piece of goat there in the dish!!

The restaurant has been around for several decades and I’ve been a patron through multiple ownership changes and renovations. It’s standard, mostly northern Indian cuisine. The food is always tasty. As of this post, entrees are ~$13 and served with rice. You can quickly run up your bill to $25 per person by adding bread, an appetizer and drink. The buffet left during pandemic but they’ve experimented with it occasionally, recently. Dining here for a duration spanning 4 different decades, the 2-3 times i’ve had a problem are nothing compared to the hundreds of times I’ve had good experiences. I will always come back to India Palace. 🙂

Unfortunately, the service at this restaurant was incredibly disappointing. The staff was rude and inattentive, making diners feel unwelcome and undervalued. The servers seemed to lack knowledge about the menu, and their attitude suggested that they didn’t care about providing a great dining experience. The food took an incredibly long time to arrive, and when it did, it was either cold or not prepared as requested. Any requests for changes were met with pushback, making the situation even more frustrating. The atmosphere was tense and uncomfortable, leaving diners feeling unsatisfied and unhappy. Overall, the poor service at this restaurant made it a poor dining experience that is best avoided.
