The lunch buffet for $7.99 is a very good deal. The food had interesting, strong spices. The pieces of chicken in the chicken curry and chicken masala were smaller than I prefer, but the sauces were good. The restaurant is simple, but the bathroom is clean and the waiter was very nice.
BYOB and liquor store in same mall.
One of my favorite Indian restaurants among the Edison/ Oak Tree Rd. area selection. I've had the lunch time buffet, dine- in dinner, and take out. Each was delicious, filling, and of high quality.
The lunch buffet is definitely the best bang for your buck, and a great way to introduce yourself to the myriad flavors of Indian cooking. A la carte items can get pricy, but if you're with a few people willing to share you can have more varied flavors.
Lamb saag (puréed spinach style) is my favorite along with just about any biryani (rice dish). Vindaloo was also amazing. Service is prompt, and they leave a pitcher of water on the table as you eat. They didn't trust my boyfriend when he ordered his dish "hot" on the spice scale which is probably smart of them. Caution – their "hot" is truly serious.
Rice does not come with the meals, but one order is easily enough for 2-3 people. Jeera rice is where it's at – white rice cooked with aromatic herbs and spices.
Open on Mondays but closed Tuesdays!
Picture this: It's a Sunday afternoon, I barely mustered up the willpower to shower, much less actually try to make anything to feed myself. The beau is under the weather and has no desire to eat so I'm on my own. What to eat…what to eat. Ooh, I know – since my boyfriend does not like Indian food (a major character flaw), I know, I SHALL DINE ON INDIAN CUISINE THIS EVENING!
Scan Yelp and find India Palace which is a stones throw away from my abode and I can order through the Yelp app. Win/win. Scan the menu and I don't know what to order. Ok I'm gonna start nice an easy with my first visit. Samosas, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala and vegetable biryani. Place my order and Yelp tells me anywhere from 10-35 minutes. I wait about 25 before headed to pick up my grub.
Walk in and it's quite a lovely restaurant. There were a few large tables of people eating and I was the only non Asian in the joint, which to me is a good sign. So my food isn't ready and I wait…at this point the young man tells me that they were out of samosas ::cue tears here:: Given that I had paid for them already, and he didn't offer any alternatives, I questioned him about him and told me I can either contact Yelp for a refund…or I'd get extra garlic naan. It would have been nice for him to tell me that first before questioning him but imma let that one slide. Ok, extra naan it is. After what ends up being a total of 45 minutes I get my food and head home. Wow, now my car smells like garlic but like McD's says, I'm lovin it.
Arrive at home and all of a sudden my boyfriend says he's hungry and wanders over to my booty (the food people). Divvy everything up, give him his own naan and we eat. Mmmm, so good. I left the chicken tikka as mild, but it still had some heat. Not awful enough that I couldn't enjoy it, but a few beads of sweat did appear on my forehead. If you're a small cat like I am when it comes to spice, then keep it mild. Vegetable biryani was so good, my only issue is that I needed some salt on it, but that's my own preference. All in all, was very happy with my food and even the boyfriend who is not a fan enjoyed it.
