India Palace is hands down the best Indian food in the region! We've been loyal customers for 20 years, and the quality has remained consistently amazing. Sushil & Pinky specialize in authentic Northern Indian cuisine, and you can truly taste the difference. Unlike many other places that use the same sauce base for everything, each dish here has its own unique and distinct flavor. Nearly everything is made fresh from scratch when you order, and it shows. We take our Indian food seriously too. Before finding India Palace, we used to have food overnighted from The Curry Club in NY! Now, nothing beats their chicken vindaloo...tender chicken and potatoes in the perfect spicy, tangy sauce. Incredible. Our order is usually: Chicken Vindaloo Aloo Gobhi Paneer Makhani (we add peas) Papadam Garlic Naan Raita Samosas Since they only do takeout, this order lasts us 2-3 meals...great portions and an excellent value. If you love Indian food, you need to try India Palace! read more

Went after a soccer game. Buffet was pricey considering extremely limited options. Have to ask for naan and each time, they would give you one. Nice people just wish options were more abundant. Tandoori chicken was dry. read more

We have been meaning to try India Palace for years and finally did. The food was really good and the prices are reasonable for the quality and the portions. Better Indian food than every other place nearby. Would give it 4.5/5 but everything we ordered was tasty and well-prepared. read more

Excellent food and service. Such a wonderful outlet that owns and runs this restaurant. Will go back again and again.

Best food in town and a great family operated business. I will recommend this any food to anyone

Such awesome people here.. i walked in right at closing and the lady welcomed me with open arms. I've been seeing this place for years and i didn't try it until 2024! It was definitely worth the wait.. the rice was nice and soft the portions were enough for two. I got the Butter Chicken & Garlic Naan! 10/10 and the prices are so affordable.. great conversation between me & the owner. She even gave me a history lesson on the building! God Bless you all and i will be back a LOT read more

India Palace Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Food was great. Very Tasty and authentic. Service was very friendly indeed. However, be warned, this is a takeout restaurant only. No in house seating provided. read more

Food is very good but this a take-out only place. No dining-in, which means it's not really a restaurant. Used to love going there but the change in format ruined things. Nice owners and good food. read more

My fiancee is constantly asking if we can order take out Indian food, and I used to balk because all of our local establishments were hit or miss --- until we recently tried India Palace and absolutely loved it! We've gone twice already since discovering it less than a month ago and India Palace knocked it out of the park both times. It's run by a husband/wife team; the wife handles the customer service aspects with a friendly and helpful demeanor while the husband cooks food to order. Since everything is made fresh, we've always been told an estimated wait time of at least 1 hour, so keep that in mind when ordering. The prices are reasonable and we've always managed to get dinner and lunch for two people out of three entrees + naan + samosas for roughly $50. We've started both our meals with the samosas, fried to a perfect crisp and packed with fresh potatoes and peas that were flavorful without being overwhelmingly spicy, though if you need to tamper down the spice, the tamarind sauce and/or onion chutney are the perfect sweet addition. The entrees have all been phenomenal. Our chicken korma was creamy and delicious both times we've had it, and the chicken is soft and juicy, unlike other Indian takeout that tastes dried out and reheated. The saag paneer is incredible and unlike any I've had before --- the paneer tastes homemade and the spinach/sauce is creamy and packed with flavor. The malai kofta offers paneer that has been battered/fried and is served with a spicy cream-based sauce that was also good (though I think I'd prefer the saag paneer!). The chana masala was yummy and a bit spicier than the others we've tried. We recently tried the Daal Makhani on the owner's suggestion and loved that as well. Will happily continue to support this family-owned restaurant churning out excellence! read more

We got take out from India Palace after being a little underwhelmed with other indian restaurants in the area. This is easily the best we've had in Wilmington! The dal makhani was creamy and flavorful. Garlic naan was delicious. Very good meal. read more

Great food, flavor and awesome spice level it came very well packaged, wasn't a fan of the naan, everything else was wonderful

Great food, very nice staff! Highly recommend the samosas. Love this place, I will definitely be back.

This restaurant excels in Punjabi food. Hole in the wall restaurant owned by an Indian couple that has been whipping out fresh food for the last 30+ years. Food: 10/10. The garlic naan is the best I have had. Considering I've had naans from hundreds of restaurants around the world, including India, this is a big statement. The paneer is made in house daily. The curries have incredible flavor (order the paneer makhni). I will admit the curries can be hit or miss on consistency... sometimes they are a bit thin for my preference but 95% of the time this is not an issue. Skip the vegetarian appetizers, I can't speak for the non-veg. Overall trust me if you are looking for quality Indian food, call them right now. Ambiance: 1/10. Order take out and enjoy this amazing food at home. read more

Well, as long as you're not a stickler for plating and you know how to back-in park, you, like me will fall madly for this place! I went for lunch by myself. I came in feeling a bit odd about being solo in a restaurant with table cloths, but I left feeling like I'd found a new home filled wth spices and smiles. At lunch they serve buffet only (you can order off the menu for takeout). The buffet always has 4 vegetarian and 2 meat options. I ate all the veggie options and can't possibly tell you my favorite. The heat level for spices was appropriate for all types of eaters (I hope for dinner you can ask for spicier). I cleaned my plate with the fluffiest, butteriest naan! It looks like they do serve beer and wine, which is good to know. The owner was so sweet and when I asked what something was, she was happy to tell me, no condescension or annoyance that I asked. Do yourself a favor and drive from wherever in Wilm you are and eat here! read more

Amazing food amazing people! Job well done. Only take out no dining in. Chicken Tikka Masala and especially garlic naan was amazing.

Best Indian food in Delaware. I have lived in San Francisco and New York. I have traveled extensively and I can say with confidence this is among the very best Indian food I have ever eaten. read more

I find myself traveling in Wilmington, DE and jonsing for Indian food... The universe keeps pointing me here, and now I know why! In COVID-times, takeaway is THE way and India Palace did not disappoint. The Saag Paneer was some of the best I've had outside of India. Smooth, rich and creamy, it had more complexity than most. The Malai Kofta was equally rich and flavorsome, but with different aromas and taste [- as it should be!]. All the food was overwhelmingly tasty and the texture was sublime. I only had 2 entrees, but both were completely satisfying and a welcome surprise on the road. All the food was packed well and didn't leak for the journey, but the paratha never made it out of the car. Well, it did, but in my belly! The staff [a.k.a. owners] were friendly, accommodating and hospitable. They went the extra mile of calling me when the food was ready - earlier than promised - and got me in and out of there in a New York minute. I will have to make it a regular stop when in Delaware. read more

We are new to town and found a review online so decided to give this place a try. Unassuming from the outside, warm and welcoming inside and the food is truly delectable. We went all vegetarian and every dish was perfection. The owners are delightful and have recently reopened after the husband had surgery for prostate cancer. My family has just finished our dinner and we can't wait to return for more soon! Thank you for a fantastic dinner! read more

My favorite Indian restaurant, hands down. I used to come here all the time for their buffet- now due to Covid-19, only take out orders are available. FYI, everything on their menu has always been delicious. I normally order the butter chicken, pakoras, tandoori chicken, garlic naan, raita, and palak paneer. Two thimbs up! read more

India Palace Indian Restaurant - Tandoori chicken and butter chicken - Indian Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Forget the ambience - the food is outstanding. The samosas were generous and perfectly spiced. Husband's tandoori sampler was delicious, my biryani was loaded with shrimp and caramelized onions. The only minor downside was the chicken pakora - a little too heavily breaded for our tastes - but otherwise, we've found our new favorite Indian takeout. read more

I've been to many Indian restaurants up and down the east coast. I have yet to find a place as fantastic as this establishment. Every time they make fresh amazing curries, the garlic naan bread is to die for, best naan you can get anywhere. I've been going here religiously the past 2 years as a result. If I could give 6 stars I would read more

This is a small Mom and Pop operation in Wilmington. Parking in front is limited and tricky but there is plenty of side street parking. Currently it's a take out only (+Grub Hub delivery) operation. They said they are remodeling and will open sit-in-service in September 2021. Food is made to order and to the level of spice you ask for. Not too oily like many Indian restaurants. We ordered Malai Kofta, Paneer Maakhnee, Basmathi Rice, Chicken Shahee Korma , Chicken Tikka, Gobi Paratha and Garlic Naan. Food was delicious and the owners are super nice couple. We liked the food and the owners very much and plan to order from here more often. read more

Incredible food every single time. It is so hard to find drool worthy take out in our area but they amaze us with every order. Our go to date night meal. They take a while to cook it but that's because they make your plate fresh with every order, not some pre made pot! Order ahead of time. Our go to's are the garlic naan, chicken tikka Masala and lamb saag! read more

Some dishes over salted and some under salted. The kebab/meatball was over cooked. Folks seem very kind, nice family run establishment. Expensive for quality. read more

I almost never write Yelp reviews. This restaurant earned one. We're pretty serious about Indian food and this is a gem. We're eating there as often as we can and, ten or twelve entrees in, we've yet to have a dish I wouldn't eat three times a week if I could. It's also run by lovely people with perfect service. Really, give it a go. read more

Good Indian food, definitely satisfied my craving. And not too spicy. Also, the people were very nice when I went to go pick-up. It was towards closing time and they had run out of garlic naan but made a new batch just for me. read more

Love this place! The owners are lovely & very friendly. Small quaint restaurant. We have enjoyed every dish we have had here. Also, the Garlic Naan is light & airy with a nice char. It is now on our list for go to places when we eat out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Simply great. I am a vegetarian and their food is the best you can have in Newark-Wilmington area. Kudos to the owners for having a businesses model that cuts cost but not quality and taste. By the way, their food is Punjabi (North Indian) style which explains why a few people are complaining. read more

Here for visit. Ordered chicken tikka masala to go. It's amazing!!! Please try this dish if you are looking at this comment hahaha

This place was so delicious! Got the saag paneer and lamb vindaloo, both were great (the saag paneer was especially incredible). Also highly recommend the garlic naan, goes well with everything. Definitely coming back here. read more

We have been coming here for years and the food is always fantastic. It's family owned and the owners are super friendly. Samosas are our particular favorites and any dish with lamb. read more

Some of the best Indian food I've had in the tri-state area! Seriously impressed, and I eat Indian food everywhere I go. I have been recommending this to everyone I know since I came here. read more

So good. Not too fancy but not too plain either. My favorite Indian food around Wilmington and the owners are very nice.

My favorite Indian restaurant. The breads are amazing. The lentil soup was phenomenal.

India Palace is a gem of a restaurant. It's a family run operation managed by a husband wife pair for the past three decades! The family run nature is apparent not only when I was greeted by a very kind owner but also in the warmth and homestyle taste of the made to order food. We ordered Malai Kofta and Paneer Makhani and both dishes were perfectly textured, creamy and just plain delicious! I have no doubt I will be returning repeatedly for more in the months to come. Truly great authentic Indian food from some lovely owners. read more

I consider this place to be one of those, "don't judge a book by its cover" spots. It is in kind of an odd area off Maryland avenue and looks like a hole in the wall. It is easy to pass by and if you have, you are reaaally missing out! I would say it is the best Indian food in the area. I do have a minor confession... I sleep with a light on. Oh wait, that's another story. No, I always order the same thing here. I get the Chicken Tikka Marsala (bonless chicken chunks served in a tomato, onion cream sauce), the vegetable Samosa's (it's like a turnover with spicy potatoes and peas), and the Raita (a somewhat tangy mixture of cucumber, tomatoes, and maybe carrots? in fresh, thin yogurt). It is the bomb and is really good for dipping their fresh homemade Naan. You can get regular of garlic Naan ( bread) - both good. The chicken Tikka Marsala is perfectly cooked and has some major chunks of all-white chicken. It also comes with rice. Two suggestions: One, I like hot things but their hot is on a whole nother level. I would recommend ordering one level below what you would normally order. Also, I only get takeout here. I come late but still don't see many people dining in. It may be minor crickets if you are in the mood to eat out. However, this is a family run restaurant and they are extremely nice so I am sure it will still be great. They do a buffet at dinner too if you like to try a little bit of everything. read more

The first time I tried the food here I liked it but was not yet in love. I had the bhindi masala and dal makhani. Both good - probably 4.0 star quality. Then, I tried the garlic naan, saag paneer and baingan bharta and I was hooked. The food is very flavorful! Just delicious. Edit: My fiancé and I are officially regulars now. We order take out a few times every month! We've had several friends try the dishes with us and everyone has been seriously impressed. Our favorite dishes have been the palak paneer and the baingan bharta. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

The tastiest and most authentic North Indian food you would ever have. Go for it! Try the paneer makhani and chicken saag :D read more
