I was so excited to eat that I forgot to take a better photo, but everything was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Chicken Masala, Vegetable Korma, and naan bread to start. The Chicken Masala was creamy and very flavorful with a perfect balance of spices. The Vegetable Korma was rich and creamy with just the right amount of spice and a subtle sweetness. Both dishes paired perfectly with the basmati rice and fresh naan bread. The portions were filling and comforting. Even though we were full, we couldn't resist sharing a mango smoothie which I think had a yogurt base and not overly sweet which is exactly how I like it. They kindly gave us a complimentary dessert, Gulab Jamun, which I'm already looking forward to order the next time we come back. The atmosphere is elegant and our waitress was so kind and genuinely happy that we enjoyed the food. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be coming back! read more

I've spent many special dinners here with my family and have always enjoyed the delicious food, authentic atmosphere and impeccable service. Recently, my friend and I have been coming by for their lunch Buffett, which is extensive with at least two different lamb dishes, chicken tandoori and curry, as well as many vegetarian options. It's a delightful place that I keep coming back to! read more

The food was as amazing as the service! It definitely was a wonderful experience coming to eat here you can taste the love put Into each dish! The ambiance was nice and very clean! The staff were all so kind, welcoming and helpful! I personally tried a Bit of everything but that chicken tikka masala was my favorite! We will definitely be back! read more

I found India Palace due to the high reviews and they are definitely accurate! I think we found our new go-to Indian spot. As soon as we walked in, the great customer service started. Everyone is nice, happy, and checked on us often. The food was very, very good. We went with our usual first time items: chicken tikka masala, daal makhani, saag paneer, mango lassi, and naan. Also tried the chicken and lamb naans as well. I've eaten a lot of Indian food all around North America and this tikka masala was probably one of the best I've had. The rice was also perfectly cooked. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Solid option for Indian buffet in the area. Good variety of dishes, and they bring you out fresh naan. Only complaints are I wish they had tikka masala on the bufft and the tikka chicken itself could have been more tender snd juicier. Also the pakora was overfried to a crisp, and the gulab jamun was hard and not soft like it should be. Service was friendly and attentive. Price point was $22 with a soft drink. read more

Great food and great service. Wait staff is usually very friendly. Not sure how they could improve.

We came here for dinner and had a really great experience! Definitely recommend dining in vs ordering door dash. Just a better overall experience. We arrived around 530pm on a Friday night, and were the first people to arrive, but when we left around 630pm it had definitely picked up! The inside was clean was lots of places to sit, and a small bar area in the back! We started with an order of samosas which were delicious! After that, I ordered the chicken tikka masala which really delicious too, lots of flavor! We also ordered a side of paneer naan which was awesome! I'd never had stuffed naan before and this stuff was amazing. I would definitely order it again. A really great place to eat Indian food at, definitely recommend stopping in for dinner or lunch, I think they have an all you can eat lunch buffet. read more

My first visit to India Palace. We were treated well, the food is amazing and full of flavor. I really enjoyed the chia tea with cream. We will add India Palace to our meal rotation plan. They offer buffet and a full menu, and bar. Thank You! The windows bring plenty of light into your dining experience. read more

Sunday night home date was perfect once again with items from India Palace. We did pick-up and wonderful woman recognized we usually dine in. Sad I forgot the photos. Food was flavorful and best level of spice/ heat. Hubby had palak paneer and I went with chicken tikka masala As always we loved the naan & popodom with raita. Had to top off with delicious mango lassi.​​​ thank you to staff and cooks. read more

The food here was disappointing. The service was fine, but the main dishes lacked flavor. Coming from Seattle, I've had plenty of great Indian food, so this really missed the mark. I probably should've known when the restaurant was nearly empty on a Saturday night that it wasn't a good sign. Let's start with the positives: the complimentary crispy corn "chips" and spicy salsas were great, and the vegetarian samosas were solid. But the chicken vindaloo and chicken tikka masala were both a letdown - no flavor, minimal spice (and I ordered a 3-star), and overall just bland. The vindaloo was made with chicken thighs instead of breast meat, which I've never seen before. Even the rice was clumpy, and the garlic naan had no real garlic flavor. It was crispy, but I expected at least a hint of actual garlic. My quest for good, if not at least decent Indian cuisine continues... read more

Enjoyed my experience and the buffet it had all of my favorite meals and the service was fantastic

My family has been enjoying the delicious chicken vindaloo and beef korma here for at least 8 years. We have tried other restaurants but this is our long-time favorite. Nice family restaurant and you are always remembered and welcome. DELICIOUS Indian cuisine! Service is friendly and also good buffet with nice variety on Sunday. Jatinder will make sure you are well taken care of. I wish there were more than five stars available for the rating. read more

This Indian restaurant and buffet during lunch had all the classics you'd hope for, and every dish was executed with impressive quality. The flavors were rich and authentic across the board, making it easy to go back for seconds (and thirds). The naan was a standout--freshly made, incredibly light, and perfectly puffy with that airy texture that's hard to get just right. It paired beautifully with everything on the plate. What really elevated the experience, though, was the service. The staff was attentive and genuinely welcoming, creating a warm, almost family-like atmosphere that made the whole meal feel special. Overall, a delicious and comforting dining experience that I'd happily return to. read more

I treated my foodie step son here for the second time. He was craving the lamb vindaloo. The first time we came here was about a year ago. He lives in Wisconsin so to say he was craving this place is an understatement. We ordered chicken tikka masala and the lamb vindaloo with rice and garlic naan. It was better than I remember. We came for lunch and there were a lot of people. They have a buffet or you can order from the menu which we did. I recommend this place and I really want to go back but I will have to go alone or wait for someone to go with me as my husband eats like a kid. Ambiance is nice... they have TVs with Indian soaps playing. If you like that stuff. Our waiter was ok. Then the lady that served us last year came to help and she is the best! I will be back! read more

I absolutely love this place! The food is flavorful and delicious every time. The staff is so friendly and the service is always great. They're helpful in explaining dishes when we're trying something new. The restaurant itself is cozy and clean. It's become one of my go to spots for a cozy meal. read more

Honestly, this place was just okay. My friend and I were craving Indian Food and we usually have our usual spot but decided to try a new place out. We were excited this place offered the buffet option but upon getting there, we realized it was only for lunch :( We still decided to eat there and ordered the following: Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer, Naan and Samosas. Everything tasted okay but I've had better or preferred the place we usually go to. The palak paneer for some odd reason tasted very bitter/burnt so it threw me off as I really love palak paneer and it was my friend's first time trying it. I also ordered chai; however, it was very watered down and not as rich. If you're craving "okay" Indian food or maybe just want to try their buffet, I would suggest it. But if you're looking for more quality food, this wouldn't be it. Otherwise, service was great and the inside was clean/pretty. I just wish the food tasted a little better. read more

This is a hidden treasure. Been going here for over 10 years. Great food with the heat at the level that's right for you. Food consistently fresh and delicious and the menu so large I am always trying new foods. Service friendly, efficient with good pacing. read more

India Palace on Bell is one of those strip-mall places that completely overdelivers. The lunch buffet is an amazing value. Not just cheap and filling, but actually good. The food tastes like someone cares, and it's kept fresh and rotating instead of sitting there dying under heat lamps. This is one of the few buffets where I don't feel like I'm compromising quality just because it's a buffet. The garlic naan deserves its own paragraph. It's legitimately great, and it's dangerously easy to keep grabbing just one more piece. Easily one of the highlights and clearly something they do right consistently. Menu-wise, the usual favorites show up for a reason. Chicken tikka masala, saag or palak paneer, biryani, vindaloo. Portions are generous if you order off the menu, and they're generally willing to adjust spice levels if you ask. Service is friendly and straightforward. No attitude, no upsell nonsense, just people doing their jobs well. In short, solid food, great value, and one of the better lunch buffets around. read more

It's been my #1 Indian Go-to for decades! We have followed them to several locations over the years, and it is always a wonderful meal!

We thought the Mango Lassis were the best we've ever had, definitely a highlight here. The complimentary chutney with crisp bread was nice. We ordered Poori (fried bread), Parantha (thick bread), Garlic Naan, Seekh Kabab Chicken, and Tandoori Shrimp Masala. The medium spice heat was perfect. Enjoyed the kababs more than the shrimp masala. The Kheer for dessert is what let me down. I love traditional Kheer with cardamom but their version was very plain and basic rice pudding. read more

This is from a Postmates delivery so i did not dine in and cannot attest to their ambiance. The service was quick. My food arrived HOT and quick during peak dinner time. I ordered the following: Garlic Naan: kind of bland. Thin. No garlic. Daal Makhani: I've never ordered this before and am not sure what flavor should really taste like. It was kind of bland as well. I ordered a medium spice level and it was more of a mild to my tastebuds. I woukd try it again before i decide if i like it or not. Lamb Vindaloo: this was fantastic. There was a lot of potato's in it compared to the amount of lamb. But very good. Ordered a medium spice level and this was closer to medium. Palak Paneer: this was so salty i had to choke it down which was very sad to me cuz the ratio of spinach sauce to paneer was A+. Again I ordered a medium but it was more mild to me. I ordered from here because they had a Postmates discount. I'm not sure i woukd have otherwise as i have my own favorite places. However i would def consider trying their food again. I am positive the saltiness of the palak paneer is a one off situation. Which is why I gave them a 3/5 stars. read more

Our son & daughter-in-law introduced us to this restaurant for a delicious dinner several years ago. Since then we have been back for both dinner and the lunch buffet. The lunch buffet is definitely a treat, both with the fresh food to sample as you wish, and because it is still a bargain! The service has been fabulous -- especially when we are with our kids, who apparently go here quite often! But when by ourselves it is still great -- even attentive for the buffet. The restaurant is also nice and calm, with Indian music playing we can still talk to one another easily. read more

The food was delicious will be back soon.The service was on point. And the restaurant was very clean.

This India Palace in Phoenix was named the number four Indian buffet in the US recently. That inspired me to check it out during a recent week-long stay in Phoenix. I spent over three years in India and am a fan of Indian cuisine. So I have been car-free and care-free for many moons. Phoenix is a difficult city to be car-free for a car is essential here and is super spread out. It is one of the largest cities in America aka Turtle Island. From where I was staying required me to get a Lyft over here and each way was more expensive than the buffet. Mind you only did this once during my trip to Phoenix for it was too far. The buffet that was number four in the nation certainly delivered. They had rice and plain naan which I appreciated being vegan. There were several things I could have on the buffet including sauteed cabbage, a tasty daal dish, a delicious spinach dish, and potato dish. There was one paneer aka cheese dish and three non veg dishes. There was a delicious cilantro chutney, homemade salsa, and tamarind chutney along with some veg pakora. The service was very friendly. The ambiance was simple and could have been better. I am deducting one star as would have liked to see at least one more vegan option on the buffet, perhaps some chana masala aka chickpeas or cauliflower yet four solid stars. The location was challenging to get to for me being car-free aka relying on Lyft and my own two feet to get around. Glad I did get to experience them and so should you if you are in Phoenix! read more
