Title: The perfect setting for a romantic evening - An unforgettable dinner at Amrit Palace My wife and I recently chose Amrit Palace for our dinner, and it proved to be the perfect choice for a romantic night out. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set the tone for the evening; the entrance is truly elegant, making for a beautiful backdrop, and we couldn't resist stopping to take photos together before heading inside. The atmosphere throughout the restaurant is warm and sophisticated, making it an ideal destination for a date night or celebrating a special anniversary. Inside, the decor is just as stunning as the exterior, providing another wonderful spot for photos to commemorate the evening. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and gracious, and our waiter was exceptionally attentive without ever being intrusive. As for the meal, the food was absolutely top-notch--every dish was flavorful and prepared to perfection. If you are looking for a place that combines a romantic, welcoming ambiance with high-quality service and delicious cuisine, I highly recommend Amrit Palace. It was a wonderful experience, and we look forward to returning for our next special occasion. read more

Each and every time I've dined at Amrit it has been an experience I'm grateful for. The service is always wonderful and the food just as good. The atmosphere is beautiful and I always feel like I have walked into a different kind dining experience. It's relaxing and a lot nicer than many of the local restaurants around here. I feel that it has a quiet nuanced feel that is simply elegant. I ordered the Create your own course because I wanted more. I was in time for the lunch special that they serve Tuesday-Thursday from 11-3 but that wasn't what I was looking for. When coming here I just wanted to enjoy my idea of the meal I can create. The create your own course is just that and for $40.99 you receive an "appetizer, entree, dessert served with two sides, naan or tandoori roti and sauce. If you would like an additional entree and two sides it's only an additional $16.99. Extremely reasonable for the amount of food you receive and how well the food is prepared and the service you get here. My favorite is the Chicken Vindaloo which is Chicken, chili,tomato and it has a little coconut in it. It's a spicy dish but a little tangy too. I love that the heat is flavorful and not overpowering that you cannot taste all the spices in the dish. The tandoori roti I enjoy thoroughly it pairs very well with this dish, I've had the Peshawari naan which is filled with cherries, coconut flakes, cashews and raisins and this is so different and delicious more of a dessert you must try too. I also had the chick pea salad and this is a mix of chick peas, lettuce,red onion, cherry tomatoes and cilantro. Nothing out of this world but refreshing. Last time I was here I had the Samosa Chaat for a starter it was so good! It's a potato turnover with chickpeas layered with chopped onions, yogurt, tamarind, mint chutney, and so flavorful! The Dal soup is also very nice it's a smooth mild soup made with yellow split pea lentils, some ginger and just the right amount of garlic. So many choices here and I'll keep coming back so I can be sure to try everything in the menu at least a few times! I have had dessert and I really enjoyed this as well wanting to try something different than I can get in most restaurants so I tried the Gulab Jamun that is a deep fried dumpling soaked in a sweet syrup that is infused with rose water and coconut. I don't know what to expect but I absolutely loved this and it wasn't as sweet as I thought it might be it was very pleasant and a mild flavor but truly delicious! Other than the food , the service is always really nice here, it's just a very nice experience coming to Amrit you feel lot's of peace and tranquility while dining. Highly recommend visiting Amrit you will not be disappointed!

It was wonderful...I had gone with my sister.. I plan on going back it was so good.. the service was great ... The atmosphere was very nice...the place was clean. As for our food, it was outstanding read more

Amrit palace is beautifully decorated. It has a peaceful vibe. It's dimly lit which adds to that aesthetic. The menu is pretty expansive with chicken and lamb entrées as well vegetarian. I ordered the chicken tikka masala with side of basmati rice and crispy cabbage. They put onions and peppers in the sauce which I have never seen before but it added a nice crunchiness to the dish. The chicken was so nice and tender it melted in my mouth. The flavor of this dish was amazing. Everything was delicious. Our server was very attentive. He was knowledgeable about the menu and answered any questions we had. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Finally made it to this wonderful place! I've been in the area for seven years and had only ordered takeout once--so I'm not sure why I waited so long to dine in because everything was fantastic. The food, the service--everything was superb. We had the tandoori chicken, lentil soup, and tikka masala, and every dish was flavorful and perfectly prepared. We'll definitely be returning. We also ordered a specialty cocktail that's no longer on the menu, and our server went out of their way to make it happen--such great service! I also love that you can customize the spice level. One person in our group requested no spice but was mistakenly served a spicy dish; it was handled quickly and without any issue. Do yourselves a favor and give this place a try--you won't regret it read more

This place was absolutely delicious! We ended up selecting this place since they were open on Christmas night, and I was a bit nervous since I normally struggle with lots of spices. However, here, you can select your spice level for each meal. At other Indian Cuisine restaurants I have been to, you're limited on the menu option due to your spice level. I got the Butter Chicken (Spice Level: Mild) with Basmati Rice and the Dal Soup, and I enjoyed every bite. I also got the Lychee Martini, and it was delicious as well. The restaurant is super cute and has Indian designs throughout which add a nice touch. The staff was also extremely kind and helpful. I would definitely come here again while visiting Ocala. read more

Absolutely amazing food and probably the best Indian food I've had. Incredibly friendly service. It's just off the interstate and is a MUST! I will definitely stop every time I pass through Ocala. read more

Amrit Palace was so good. It really has an upscale luxurious feel to it. It was really busy on a Friday night. We didn't make reservations but probably should have. We only had to wait 20 minutes, which was lucky. The food was amazing. I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo with rice and dal soup. The chicken was tender and tasty. My only complaint is that I ordered it extra hot and I would say it was more hot than extra hot. We got garlic naan to share. They have a good cocktail list too. I ordered the Mango Monsoon. It was more on the boozy side than I expected. I hope to come back while I'm in town! read more

The food was good but I don't think it was the best Indian cuisine I've ever had. I went with the entree special, with the appetizer sampling, tikka masala, chickpea salad, garlic naan, and mango cheesecake. I think the sauces really elevated the dishes. The staff were AMAZING and our waiter Kiran was AWESOME! The ambiance was really nice and I heard they are opening a location in GNV so I'm excited to try there too. read more

Marib, our server was amazing. The food, I had palak paneer, one of my go to choices and it was great. The ambiance is nice, it looks big from the outside but the space is partitioned in a way that makes it feel cozy. All the staff are hospitable. Do yourself a favor and try it. read more

Inassumong on the outside, GORGEOUS on the inside. Id been out to Ocala to get an adjustment, and saw a sign for Amrit palace, and since od never been, i said lets go. I was dining alone, so inwas sat at a two top along the wall, a very handsome and soft spoken man was my server, and alas I didnt get his name. He was attentive and kind and very prompt. I ordered the meat samosas, and an order of Butter Chicken, Cabbage and something else. The samosas were delightful. I ate one and brought the 2nd home. The butter chicken waw very good, very flavorful, i was happy about that order. The cabbage was amazing. There were spices inside that i dont recognize, but they were good! The garlic Naan was some of the best I:ve had. I will be back and bringing friends read more

We found this place while driving on the turnpike in Florida with a beautiful sign on the road heading north thought we would give it a shot. The atmosphere was very authentic and delightful. The rating says it's 4.5 stars and it is absolutely worth every bit of it. The ambience as you will see in the pictures is really cool for a place in Northern Florida. Food was absolutely excellent and delicious. We ordered the butter chicken and Service was six minutes from the time we sat down to the delivery to the table. I gave the non-which was garlic and the butter chicken five stars and Godwin, our server was super, super professional, fast and efficient ask for him. You will never go wrong. Enjoy this beautiful Indian cuisine. read more

Amrit Palace - Front Entrance - Indian Near Me - Ocala, Florida

This was one of the first places we visited while on a house hunting trip to the area. My wife and I had lunch here with our realtor and we all loved our dishes. My wife and our realtor both ordered the Chicken Korma ($19.99) and I had the Butter Chicken ($18.99). We then shared a couple orders of Garlic Naan ($4.99). Portions were generous and dishes had bold flavors we've come to expect of Indian cuisine. Service was friendly and attentive. The value was not exactly there but the flavors made it all worth it. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Average food.Outstanding service. Prompt and attentive staff.Clean and subdued atmosphere.

Anytime I need to eat outside I come to this Indian restaurant. It has gotten better each time I visit. The staff are super kind and generous. Will definitely come here again. Always a pleasure to support small ethnic businesses. read more

The staff was very friendly and patient about explaining each dish and making recommendations. We tried several dishes and were happy with each one as well as the different breads. I also liked being able to order the degree of heat in various dishes. read more

Second time in the last 7 years stopping to eat here while on my drive from GA to FL. Food is always great, great variety. Servers are attentive and overall great experience. The decor is nice and really an amazing experience every time. Try the Bhujia appetizer. It was great! Fried spinach in batter. read more

what the heck happened here? Amrit was great food. Did they get whipped by immigration policies? Bad nite? New chef formerly the dishwasher? New owners? Nice interior make-over. Much smaller menu, no okra or eggplant, onion kulcha and other faves. Even the mango lassi was meh. 3 different shrimp dishes tried, all failed for flavor. 4 dull sides to choose from. Garlic naan lacked any garlic flavor. Perhaps a garlic was waved over it. Amrit was as good as it got. As good as London, NY and Vietnam Indian restaurants. Guess it's over. Pedestrian Indian food for Americans now. Oh well. read more

First time visiting did not disappoint. Our server was exceptional....he asked if the spice was good to which we replied "yes it's good"... then he asked "but is it perfect?" Desiring to ensure perfection. Wow! Loved the Lamb Rogan Josh and Chicken Vindaloo. We will be back!!! read more

Amrit had such great reviews so I tried it. The food was just meh. Wasn't worth the $$

We come here every time we go to Ocala. Great ambience and the food is amazing! They do a great job with adjusting spice levels so everyone is happy. Servers are also wonderful, we just had Maureen and he was so nice! read more

The food was delicious. I tried their weekend buffet. There was a good variety of starters, main course items, rice and desserts. The food was absolutely delicious. Their chole bhature have my heart. Will be going back to buffet again hoping they have those again. I also have to say they have a decent selection of chutneys and stuff. My only thing is that I do wish they had bowls for stuff like sambhar. They did very tiny ones in the dessert area but like I go for the food. And fhe food was fantastic 10/10. The service was great with fresh naans being served to the table. The restaurant itself is clean and lots of well spaced tables. read more

A friend selected this restaurant as part of our travels and I am glad she did. We stopped in at lunch time and I was a bit concerned that there were no others in the restaurant. That concern quickly disappeared when we were quickly and pleasantly seated. The menu had an abundance of excellent choices with good descriptions and the servers also provided their recommendations. The decor was really beautiful and I would guess this would be a great spot for a nice date night. I felt like I was in a palace. Everything from the drinks to the appetizers to the main meal were all delicious. The portions were a nice size but since we were passing through, we opted not to take our leftovers. Would certainly return in a heartbeat and will recommend to any friends passing though Ocala. Keep up the great service and excellent food. read more

Service was very nice from entry to departure ~ I'm afraid I don't remember our waiter's name, but he was help with all our questions. It was nice to come into the serene atmosphere in a nicely appointed venue. Two of us just stopped in for a quick snack and we were pleased with the recommendation for the variety appetizer. Each had its distinct taste and the combination was complementary. We will definitely return for a full course meal! read more

This was a restaurant high suggested by our friends who are locals. Honestly, it was a great place to feed 15+ hungry people! The waiters gave us our own room in the back which was perfectly quiet, and they were extremely attentive to us the entire time. All drinks and food came out at a reasonable time. The palak paneer that I ordered was bold with the exact flavors you are hoping for, and the portions were enough to feed two. If you're looking for a pick me up drink, highly suggest the coffee!! All in all, I would come back here again and again to try either other dishes since they all looked great! read more

Whole experience was amazing! Sam was our server and he gave excellent recommendations! My wife ordered chicken butter curry and I ordered Lamb Vindaloo. We decided on garlic cheese naan and plain naan. The food is outstanding! Both the chicken and the lamb were tender and super flavorful. I ordered my vindaloo "Hot" which was perfectly extinguished by the mango lassi my wife and I shared! We absolutely did not have room for dessert! read more

Amazing experience. The food was so delicious so drag it felt like home cooked good ingredients food. The service was exceptional and quick. The prices were great for what we ate. I would recommend this for a date night, the lights were low and full of color inside. I loved the romantic vibes. The food is full of spices but not spicy. The lamb meat was tender and the chicken juicy. Sauce dishes pair well with rice and naan. They had a $40 meal that was worth it. Must try! read more

This place was great! Where I live, which is about an hour from this restaurant, we have no Indian food other than a food truck. I was so excited to try this place with my daughter and son-in-law. We were greeted by a friendly server, who was funny and very helpful. I don't even think he wrote anything down! The flavors of the food or spot on and I wish I had pictures, but we ate our food so fast because it smelled so delicious and we were hungry. My husband and I have been to India and I can tell you that these flavors are authentic and it tasted like we were back on vacation in India. They are remodeling, so the back room was the only thing that was open, but it was lovely, and I love the chandeliers that hung over our heads. When I'm back in the area, I would not hesitate to go there again. read more

Having never had Indian food before, a friend highly recommended Amrit. Great experience! Sam was our server and helped us to understand the foods, the sauces, and how to enjoy them. My husband is not a brave spice eater and we got the butter chicken for him - he loved it (so did I)! The appetizer sampler was a good introduction to small bites as well. My veg biryani was delish and the Sassi was a perfect compliment to the heat. Most of our choices were perfect portions but we did bring home another meal's worth of my biryani. Don't hesitate to go - a very enjoyable experience. read more

The service and the food were great. The ambiance of the restaurant was delightful. Everyone in our group was very happy with their food. Will definitely return when back in Ocala. read more

The food here is great and I love the friendly service. They also have great cocktails. They are doing a lot of renovations inside so it's a little wonky to dine in but not terrible. The first time we sat in the main dining room and there were loud saws and machinery during our whole meal. The second time we sat in the new room they were working during our first visit and it was very nice but there was still plastic everywhere and people dining in the small hallway. I'm sure it will be very nice when the renovations are complete. It is on the pricier side, most dishes are $16-$23, cocktails $10-$12. With drink and appetizers, our bill was $100+ read more

The ambience is nice. Music plays in the background. I got served really quickly. The food is phenomenal here compared to places in SC. That being said, I ordered the saag lamb hot ( level 8 spicy) with pashwarmi naan and rice. Excellent meal. Most of the time I order a Palek Paneer but this time I had the lamb and it was delicious!! The spicy heat balanced really well with the sweet Naan. I love different flavors and this was well done. This was a random stop as well. I was here on the Ocala area to pick up something that wasn't here so I made up for it by ordering lunch. This made my long trip worth it. I looked this up via Yelp and it made my day better. Server was very courteous. If I'm ever back in the area, I will be coming back here. read more

Amrit Palace - This is the bar but the table on the left is where we eat. - Indian Near Me - Ocala, Florida

I've been coming here for years. It is the best Indian food place around. I usually order to go. It's expensive but so delicious.

It happened. Throwing caution to the wind (mostly me), we finally went to Amrit Palace to try Indian cuisine. Why in the world did we wait so long?! I will freely admit, I am terrible with the names of the dishes. I had the chicken tikka masala, we had rogan josh, mixed beriyni (sp?), some amazing appetizers, cheesy bread, sweet bread, and a bunch of other sauces to try with the food. The flavors - the spice combinations, the tangy mixes of heat and flavor - are just outstanding! It's truly difficult to describe - it is best experienced first-hand (tongue?). read more
