Tucked away in a strip mall on 38th, India Palace is one of our go tos. We've tried multiple dishes from saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, jalfrezi etc. All were flavorful and delicious. Only remark is the dine in service. Typically the restaurant is empty and when there were customers, they were rowdy and staff didn't do anything about it. They do seem short staffed but while service is speedy, staff isn't as friendly. We stick to take out and seems like most customers do as well since their take out orders are very frequent.

We ordered $65 dollars worth of food. The "complimentary " rice we received from India Palace was covered in something. When my husband took it back to the restaurant he was told this was fine to eat!. This is… supposed to be plain basmati rice. What we received looks like they scraped someone's uneaten food from a plate and gave it to us. Then would not even give us fresh rice. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

This was the first time I had been back to India Palace in a few years. I must say I was extremely disappointed. I was not give the complimentary appetizers to begin, nor was I greeted in a friendly or timely manner. The restaurant was not crowded at all and it took nearly an hour to prepare my food. After a while, I decided to just cancel the order. They assured me it was coming out and I shared that I had yo go but would take carry out instead. When I got home, the brown bag was soaked because they did not secure the top on my curry and it spilled out. I am also pretty sure that it wasn&apos

Ordered Chicken Curry Spicy. Food was bland and watery! I felt like they made what they wanted me to have instead of how I asked for it to be prepared. Ask for plain Naan bread, they gave me garlic. The worst Indian meal I have ever had. I wasted $21 on this meal. Tried to call 317 298 0773 a man answered and pretended like I had the wrong number so I could not complain to get my meal remade! Don't waste your time not authentic Indian food

Delicious! But please don’t post your lunch buffet sign on the sidewalk if you really aren’t offering it!

Had stopped at the beauty supply store after church. I've lived on the West side of Indianapolis for many years but had never been to India Palace. So glad I finally stopped in. Was gonna do carry out but realized my food would be cold by the time I got home so decided to dine in. The restaurant was empty when I arrived and was shown to a table. The lady was really very nice and friendly and was attentive even though I was the only customer. I got the samosa, onion pakora and papadi chaat. The food was well cooked though I thought it needed some salt (personal preference). There were two

The best Indian food in Indianapolis. We had the tandoori sample platter. The chicken was perfect and the lamb had the best spice flavor I've had. We also got a shrimp dish with peppers and onions. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. Even the rice had fabulous flavor. The garlic naan was super light and tasted wonderful. We'll definitely be back!

Normally I don't write reviews but the food was that bad. I ordered a non-veg thali and veg thali for my wife and I.. Everything was really bland and tasted like microwaveable frozen food. No flavor what so ever, really disappointing. Wish I could get a refund.

How to loose customers 101.... water down the chicken tikka masala so much that instead of thick dark red/orange gray it becomes a new peach/pink color with the consistency of water. I know times are tough in the days with the rona but give me a break. In general quality has been on a downward slide for years. This is so sad and disappointing that another small business is clearly on the brink of failure.

Hey India Palace owner listen up!!!
You can't run a restaurant penny wise, and pound foolish. You you just saved $2.50 by making my masala 50% water but you lost a longtime customer for

The food has changed drastically since the COVID 19 shutdown. The food used to be thick and creamy but not anymore. I have tried it twice since they reopened and both times disappointed. The chicken tika masala is completely different recipe. Very watery, light orange almost yellow color and has other vegetables in it. It used to be thick, dark orange color and creamy. The saag paneer is also watery no longer creamy. Onion chutney and raitha was even different, not horrible just different. The naan was the only thing that tasted normal. Very disappointed india palace has changed for the worse

What happened?? My husband and I have been visiting India Palace now for the past year. We moved here from Schaumburg, IL and immediately needed a go-to Indian restaurant. We have been ordering take out from here throughout the past year as well as dined in.

Today we order Paneer Tikka Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chole Puri and garlic naan. Our order arrived at our home via GrubHub in a timely manner. Puri and naan we still hot.

We opened the gravies (paneer and chicken) and immediately noticed the very light color and watery consistency. Normally these gravies have a rich red-orange

I'm probably a typical American diner of Indian food, meaning my knowledge of the cuisine isn't that deep, but everything we ordered from India Palace was great. From the classic (chicken tikka masala and chicken biryani) to being a little more adventuresome (lamb saag and chana poori), we enjoyed the Indian spices and contrast between creamy (the lamb and tikka masala) and tomato-based dishes (chana poori). Just a hint of kick to the spiciness, which was perfect for our taste. And the naan had lots of garlic, which we love. Everything came with a side of basmatic rice, too.

I've ordered here via Uber and food was great. Really generous portions and tasted perfect. You can totally feed two people off of one meal and it didn't cost arm and leg. Delivery was quick, too.

I visited the Indian Palace today with members of the International Marketplace Coalition for dinner. It was awesome! I ordered the Samosas for an appetizer and then shrimp tikka masala for my entree. Everything was delicious! I also got a chance to try some vegetable biryani rice which was VERY GOOD!!! Will definitely order that next....or maybe I'll try the mixed grill next? Maybe I'll order both. They both looked DELICIOUS!

I went to the India palace for the excellent lunch buffet. First they offer excellent naan bread freshly made. You can get plain or garlic bread. There is an great self serve buffet that should please almost anyone. I will say I am not a vegetarian but the rare vegetarian items I like are from this restaurant. They have a whole buffet table filled with vegetarian dishes. Next they have another table with the meat entrees. Finally they have the cold table with salad items and at least six different Indian condiments. Also they featured two different soups and several dessert items.

Growing up in Indiana, this was my favorite indian buffet restaurant of all time. I remember my favorite dishes from the extensive buffet of more then 40 dishes, superb service, and crowded halls. In 2013, we… used the banquet hall for my engagement party. The food was amazing, and the service was even better. In 2014, we catered for my wedding of 300 people from here. Again, food was superb and the owner personally made sure everything was perfect. Fast forward to 2019 with the new management... the hall itself is spectacularly decorated. The buffet is set up in a weird corner, with half

This was my first visit back here since they remodeled. The new decor is definitely bright and colorful! It is a definite improvement!

I love that they offer a buffet on the weekends rather than just lunch during the week. I visited on a Sunday and the food on the buffet was fresh with a good selection of options. Choice of plain or garlic naan is brought to the table as part of the buffet which is great because the naan is fresh then rather than being on the steam table.

The buffet was organized into a vegetarian section and a section with meat. The vegetarian selection was great

Now our #1 Indian Cuisine choice. As you know, hubz is a commercial driver and we travel easy to west coast eating out along the way. The goat and chicken curry were divine. I could promise you, lol, I heard Angels sing during the first bite. Tender meats and curry seasoning like no other. There is a sweet little something in it that was balance to perfection with the savory herbs. I do not know what the chef used, I sure would like too. Thank you Ricki for the wonderful meal and thank you Baldeep for your caring service. We will be back the next time we visit Indy.

Peace & Love!

This business is now under new management. I felt that I could feel the difference in the improved service I found this round versus previous visits. Our visit included the lunch buffet and a fresh made from scratch mango lassi. I really appreciated how the staff kept mentioning that it was made from scratch. Even if it were not, it mentally made me enjoy it even more. Smart marketing and product pride!

The lunch buffet featured two soup options, several light and healthy salads, desserts and at least ten entrée options. My favorites were the daal and paneer masala. Unfortunately, the galub
