The softest, flakiest pastry filled with just the perfect spiced filling of potatoes and peas. The chutney tells you a lot about the quality of food served at any Indian restaurant. The tamarind chutney was a thick paste of goodness unlike the watered version you find at other places. The green chutney was the rustic version we make at home with cilantro and chilies and spiced just right, not watered down with bottled lemon juice that is too sour. The tea was strong and milky . I was short on time and the food was delivered in a timely manners even though it was closing time I will be definitely back to taste their other dishes and judging by the little Snack, I have a hunch I will I'll be surprised again.

I was served water and it had a nice lite cucumber flavor to it, which was refreshing The chutney and the green item of the condiments tasted very fresh and delicious. They have a great special that is offered every day, (see the photo) that is either one, two, or three item combo with naan and rice for only $11-$15. You could easily spend $15 going to any drive-through fast food! So that's a pretty good deal considering you're getting Indian food you could sit down and relax with. I was craving an eggplant dish instead of the special, so I ordered that and it looked like it was very fresh with rice and naan, and I was very happy with it. But if you want some Indian food located in Belmont shore which is a great neighborhood with a decent combo offer, come check them out!

At first, the prices seemed a little on the high side. I ordered a biryani, can't remember if it was lamb or chicken. Then the food arrived. It was an ungodly amount of food. There was no way I could have eaten all that in one sitting without getting sick. The amount of food I received was enough for two large meals. If you're wondering about the quality, the cold leftovers the next day were still really good. Definitely a great value for your money!

Indian food is another one of my favorite types of cuisines. I came across this place through a…read moreTikTok video and knew I had to check it out. I went with my partner on a Sunday around 11:30 AM. Kamal Palace is located along E PCH, tucked away within what I think is a business plaza (Howards Furniture, a bank, etc). The parking lot is fairly large and on a late Sunday morning, there was plenty of parking. Getting to Kamal Palace can be a little confusing, but the best way to find it is heading towards the AMC, and looking for stairs with a signing pointing to it The restaurant is lovely, bright with the sunlight. They have an outdoor seating area as well but we chose for inside due to the heat. It was a still a bit warm though. Kamal Palace has a lunch buffet from 11AM - 2:30PM every day and what we came to lunch for. The buffet is in view right when you walk in. We were sat and told to help ourselves when we were ready. I love Indian cuisine as there are several vegitarian options helping me get much needed veggies in. The meats were good too, Tandori chicken was a little dry due to being left out but expected in a buffet style setting, still flavorful though. The butter chicken had a nice sweetness to it and was rich and creamy. My favorite was the goat curry, warm spices, savory gravy along with some veggie basmati rice. Definitely can't forget the dessert Galub Jamun is so addicting and easy to eat, soaked in the syrup. The rice pudding was so good too, I could eat so much of it, though it was rice it was very light. Forgot to mention the section of sauces as well near the end, the cilantro chutney + yogurt was so refreshing to add/dip in. Oh you also get complimentary naan too! Overall a great buffet for lunch to try a variety of things. Give it a try!

This was walking distance from the hotel. I stopped by Wednesday evening after the dinner rush. Was pleasantly greeted by a friendly gal. I mentioned I wanted to order takeout. They do have a very spacious dining room, but I wanted to get back to my hotel room before dark since I was walking. I had already pre-browsed their Yelp page for dinner ideas - so opted for an order of Butter Chicken (which comes with a side of rice), and an order of Garlic Naan. Requested the butter chicken to be mild (or "as mild as possible"). Wait wasn't too long, there was another order ahead of me. My takeout order was well packaged - everything in its own container/wrapper to ensure they stayed hot and fresh. The delicious aroma was tantalizing on my brief walk back to the hotel. Holy moly. I'm no expert on Indian food - but everything tasted amazing! The garlic naan was hands down the best garlic naan I've ever had. It was warm, fresh, crispy in all the right places, and tasted equally great on its own - as well as dipped into the rich and creamy butter chicken sauce. The side of rice is perfect for one person - and the butter chicken had generous cuts of tender, delicious chicken. Spice level still had a kick to it - but it was manageable. Prices are fair considering the area, and quality of the dishes. Friendly and attentive service! I'm honestly contemplating coming back on my last day in the area for another round of dinner - I'll probably opt for a mango lassi next time to help balance out the spice. Like seriously considering going back here tomorrow night. All the portions were perfect - not too overwhelming, and I finished every last drop - saved some sauce to enjoy my last layer of garlic naan. Honestly, if it wasn't so far away from "home" - Amaravati would be my favorite / go-to Indian food restaurant from here on out. Plenty of parking spots at the time I went - but the stalls are kinda tiny. Luckily, I'm staying nearby, so within walking distance and didn't have to worry about parking.

Yum! What a great find in this area!…read more All the items we ordered were delicious. The paneer tikka masala was flavorful and creamy, the chili chicken was spicy, perfectly seasoned, and the chicken wasn't tough or rubbery. The samosas were excellent and came with both styles of chutney. Our order also came with a small side of rice which we appreciated. My only critique would be that the garlic naan was a bit flat and bland, but the former could be because it just didn't transport well since we ordered takeout. Overall, would highly recommend this spot and it holds its own against some of the more established spots in Artesia, Long Beach, etc.!

They offered me a sample of the Chai before I ordered it which I thought was very nice. The only suggestion I would offer is to add more lime juice to the immunity drink has its turmeric heavy (obviously) but missing some tang from the lime. I was the only one dining in so the ambiance was pretty quiet & relaxed. There seemed to be a decent number of pick up/ to-go orders while I was there. Please support this small business stay open!

Greeted by the Chef and owner himself I was happy to share a conversation with him as he prepared my meal.

I decided to go with the item that will be good for on the go as I needed to eat quickly before jumping to my next work call. I went with The Maharaja Burrito one of those items Cher VR recommended as well as the Yellow Lentil Soup. Along with the burrito came with a yellow curry sauce to also add more flavor to the burrito. Both dishes were fabulous!

Very intriguing and attention grabbing! Got us for sure! We did free street parking right in front and there were a couple other parties aside from us in the restaurant, but our food came out quite efficiently and we had more than enough for 2 people and we were able to take some home as leftovers to eat later. The bar area is GORGEOUS, the way they display their alcohol looks super glamorous. Perfect backdrop for photos, especially if you wanted like a Hollywood or Great Gatsby kind of thing. Actually, the booth seating was the tallest booth seating that I've ever sat at, which was neat in it's own way too. For our dinner, we got the: 1) Cali Chilli Powerhouse: -This is a zero proof drink. It's a milk blended almonds, pistachio, chia seeds, saffron and green cardamom. -Super rich smoothie like shake. Quite sweet and more of a dessert than anything, but if you like pistachio and almond, this is a very delicious drink. Very smooth and milky. Great to balance out the savory. 2) Pani Puri Poppers: -These are puffed puri bites and we got this half and half with charred chicken and potatoes. Underneath the puffed puri bites were shot glasses filled with mango and coconut, mint and cilantro, and yogurt and ginger dressing dressing. You pour the dressing into the bite and then shove it in your mouth and enjoy! -I've had something similar before at a different Indian restaurant, but I enjoyed it here much more. Dressings weren't overpoweringly sour like I've had at other places. Very refreshing dressings that went great with the protein/carb fillings. Love the crunch of the puff puri. My favorite was the mango coconut. I love the fruity sweetness with the savory. 3) Cali Chilli Pot Pie: -You get to choose your protein and we chose the lamb rogan josh as we got chicken for our other dish. -Comes out SUPER hot. Even towards the end of our meal, the dish was still steaming hot, but it's super unique and delicious. -The pie crust is mostly just the top of the dish and the rest is curry stew and protein below. Super tender lamb meat and flavorful curry. Nice kick, savory depth of flavor and spices. The pie bread part was moist, tender, top was flaky and delicious. A must. 4) Hariyali Chicken Boti Kebab: -This is part of their limited run Long Beach Food Scene Week menu. -It's a Tandoor (clay oven) combo meal made in an authentic tandoor, making the chicken smoky and slightly charred on the outside, and moist, juicy, and tender on the inside. -This dish comes with a choice of carb and salad, so we got the saffron ghee rice with the Cali Chilli Curry Sauce and the Citrus salad. -Delicious mint and yogurt taste to the chicken, both refreshingly sour and creamy, but herbal as well. There's a kick from the green chilies too, making it a great diverse dish of flavors and textures. I don't drink, so I can't really comment on the quality and taste, but the preparation for my boyfriend's drink was super cool. They used fire and poured it here and there. Truly a dinner and a show. The blue of the fire was super neat and great for videos and photos. Thank you for that! Will definitely come again.

The staff was efficient and kind, not only did they greet everyone as they came in, they thanked every guest on their exit, as well.
