The food is okay, but not worth the price you have to pay for it. Nor is it worth suffering through the terrible/non-existent service. Had to wait 15 minutes to get water, just as long to order, then 30 more before we got our food. After finishing, we waited for about 30 min (dishes on the table and waters empty) before finally just leaving money on the table. I had been there a few times before and the service wasn't much better. Never again. read more

Okay, so this is my very first review here on Yelp.com. I signed up, just so I could write a review for India Palace. Let me start by saying that I give their food a solid 3 1/2 stars. Every time I've eaten there, it's been delicious, but this is where India Palace gets off the 3.5 star bus and onto the 2 star bus. I've also seen them on the 1 star bus as well. As a frequent eater of food not cooked by my lovely wife. I have to say that India Palace has possibly the worst service of any restaurant that I've been to, ever. I've been there 4-5 times and every time I leave saying, "NEVER COMING BACK!", then my wife convinces me to give it another try...well, not anymore. Now my wife doesn't even want to go back and she's just about the most patient customer out there. Once we went with another couple and each couple had a coupon for "buy one entree, get one free", sweet! So, we suffered through miserable service(took them for ever to take our order, asked the waiter if I could get some kind of sauce for the rice and his answer was "no", none of us ever got a 2nd glass of water, etc). Okay, so then we get up to pay our checks and when we try to use these coupons, the dude at the register says (in broken English and rudely), "only one can use coupon". We said, "but we have separate checks and we each have a coupon". "No, only one use coupon", then he points to our friends and says, "I take coupon from them, next time". Holy Korma Balls Batman! So he would only let one of us use a coupon and told our friends that they could use theirs "the next time". My friends are very mild mannered people, but I could tell that it was all they could do not to yell, "F your next time!". So that's just one of the stories I could give about this place. Order your food to go, because the service is unbelievably bad and I mean bad with a capital B! I know I'll never go back. read more

Some of the best Indian food I've had for dinner 10+ years ago when I was at KU. I still think of this place whenever I'm comparing Indian restaurants. read more

This is my favorite #1 Indian restaurant. Not even Cali Indian restaurants are good as India Palace. I love one of their appetizer called Pakora! It's so good with their onion dip. I missed this place. If I am in Lawrence again, I will go here for lunch or dinner. Their chicken tandoori is so good too. I love it. It's so delicious. Why can't Cali Indian restaurants have food like this? I ate at a lot of Cali Indian restaurants to find the same taste as India Palace, but it doesn't taste the same. I even thought about getting someone to order the food from India Palace and fedexing the food to me through mail. Yeah, for me that's how good the food here is to me. This was the first restaurant that I ate Indian food at and I have been hooked ever since. read more

Many people in Lawrence love this place but my experience has been in one word terrible. The buffet is super expensive for the miserable excuse of Indian food they serve. The smell of the spices they use makes me very suspicious about their quality. Regular menu dishes are exactly same as buffet, only about $10-$15 a dish. The fried dishes are the only okay ones, but it is hard to spoil them anyway. The lassi was good. The service is very slow. It is sad that there is no good Indian Place in Lawrence. read more

Really folks, I'd eat here everyday if I could afford it. The food is simply out of this world. How do they do that thing with the spices so well??? I mean, a plethora of scrumptious flavors await those who dine here. Highly recommend the daily "all you can eat" buffet. Only one problem - food is expensive. I remember when it was $7 for the buffet. Now I believe it's $13. And that's just in six years or so! read more

I have always enjoyed the food, especially the rogan josh. However, the service needs some serious work. The last few times I ate there, I never even knew who my server was because someone different would come to the table every time. The last time I was there, I finished my beer and never got the opportunity to order another drink. Nobody ever came back to the table after the food was dropped off, not even once- nobody asked us how the meal was, nobody offered boxes when we couldn't finish, nobody offered more drinks. Finally, we waited at the cash register for a hair short of a lifetime so we could just pay and leave. Finally, I tried to go back last week (because the tasty food is worth the lackluster service). My friend and I arrived at 9:20, nearly thirty minutes before they closed at 9:45. We had to flag someone down to try to be seated. We were asked of we wanted our food to go since they were closing soon (we were there half an hour before close!). We said we wanted to eat in, and she asked us if we were sure and looked disappointed. It was more than evident that we were not welcome and we left, insulted and disappointed. read more

Good tikka masala and palak paneer. Went here on a busy night, and got sat in an area you couldn't see much of the restaurant and felt we got kind of forgotten about for a while, but once our order was taken, didn't take so long to get the food and it was good. Service was friendly too. read more

I regret moving from Lawrence because that means no more India palace. I absolutely loved this place!!!! Never fails to disappoint.

Whether you're here for the lunch buffet or dinner, you won't leave hungry. The food is delicious, albeit slightly expensive by Lawrence standards. Not the best Indian food I've ever had, but still very good. If you live in Lawrence, you have to try it at least once. read more

The restaurant has a great lunch buffet that is somewhat on the pricey side. The service is usually good, and water jugs are placed on the dining tables. The food is usually not too hot. read more

This place is garbage and doesn't taste how indian food should. I think the people who live in Lawrence (or maybe even Kansas in general) just don't know what Indian food is supposed to taste like. I came to the restaurant, had to wait fourty minutes just to get my food, only to be disappointed by how bland and white-washed the flavors were. Even Trader Joes frozen indian dinners taste better! read more

This is my very favorite restaurant and it's where my husband and I go for anniversaries and birthdays. We always try something different but I don't think there's anything we haven't loved. The samosas are very good, and their curries are complex and flavorful. They are also pretty good with pinpointing your desired level of spiciness. I'm a big wimp and my husband prefers hothothot but we are almost always satisfied with how it comes out. With that said, the staff is sometimes questionable. It has been very slow at times, and we've had waiters who didn't speak English very well. The delivery can take quite a while read more

Great food but horrible service. Slow to the table, smart asses when they have to correct anything, and overall unpleasant atmosphere due to the shoddy service. Order it to go, it seems to take less time. read more

This place is great! Delivery takes a while, but the butter chicken and lamb vindaloo are awesome!

India Palace's Mango Chicken is something to die for. Check it out sometime. The waitstaff is very attentive, friendly and not intrusive. The prices continue to climb but if you want great Indian food when in Lawrence, India Palace is the place to go. read more

My fiance is a graduate student at the University of Kansas, and every time I visit him, we go to India Palace. Of all the wonderful, local restaurants in Lawrence, this is my favorite. They offer a wide range of options (ALL of which are delicious), and for a buffet, the price is decent at approximately $10 per person. I wish we could transport this place to Austin! read more

I've never had a meal here that wasn't delicious - my absolute favorite is the lamb Rogan Josh. The staff is friendly, and it's one of my favorite places to go. read more

Haven't eaten here for over two years. I remember it being ok, but overpriced. A friend convinced me to eat there this weekend for the lunch buffet. It was ridiculously overpriced at $13 FOR LUNCH! But I gritted my teeth and went for it. I wish I hadn't! All three of us who ate there for lunch got really, really sick for the next 3 days straight! It is the only place we all ate together, so I know we got sick from this place. Let me tell you, no matter how tasty it might be in the moment, it's NOT worth three days of the runs! Eat here with caution! read more

Incredible food but wow, delivery takes FOR-EVER! Seriously, don't get my hopes up that it will be here in 45 when I am actually waiting 90 min! read more

I have eaten here many times and never had a bad meal. The lunch buffet is good but they generally do not include any hot dishes since the general Midwestern population does not like hot food like they do in India or Thailand for that matter. I know some Sri Lankan Londoners who love this place. That alone says it all. Indian food in London is like pizza and burgers here in the states. If you like Indian food this is the place to go in Lawrence. read more

The food is pretty good, but don't bother getting them to deliver it. They will tell you that they will be there in 40 to 45 minutes and an hour and a half (or more) later they show up. It is also kind of pricey in my opinion. But the food is very good. read more

The food was very good, but we dined with 2 friends and it took over an hour to get our food, not even an offer to refresh our drinks, we asked 3 times to get our naan and never did get it. the aggravation of the non-existent service means we'll most likely never go there again. We had eaten there in the past and it was much better service so I'm not sure what happened. This was on a Friday night and they were not that busy - the service may explain that. read more

If I could I would give them 3 and 1/2 stars. I've only been there for their lunch buffet which is usually busy. The food is absolutely delicious! The chicken tika masala (i might have spelled that wrong) is my favorite but I go there for the opportunity to try the other dishes that I've never tried before, The only negatives I have are the service is pretty terrible (which I'm betting is why they just leave a jug of water on the table, so the waitstaff doesn't have to visit the table often) and it's a little overpriced for my book. I will for sure go back, but due to the price, this place is a sometimes instead of a regular. read more

People work there are unrespectful! They give me old food. It looks a leftover. You have to be really careful about what food they give you. Also, sometimes they give me food that is diffrenet from what I order. read more

Horrible , It was not worth . Being a Indian , I know how the food tastes . The staff were not professional and kept rushing us to wind up , every 5 minutes a different person came to the table to ask us to leave . Food was not tasting good too . Please don't visit. read more
