Drove a little further than we needed to since this restaurant had better reviews than some other Indian places, and we were very glad we did. Very friendly, knowledgeable staff, Indian music videos on one tv, soap operas on another, nice chill ambience. The food was incredible. I got the Chicken Masala and the charbroiled flavour of the tandoor oven was sooooo good. I'm having the leftovers for breakfast right now. Their lassi and raita uses yogurt made in-house. Ever dish we ordered was great, even the basmati rice had some toasted spices in it. They gave us some rice pudding for dessert with strong cardamom flavour, it was very good. We will be back for sure. They were also really knowledgeable about wheat/gluten, assured me the papadums and rice pudding were safe and when they specified another dessert had "semolina" it was obvious they knew what they were talking about. I grew up in Vancouver, B.C. with a HUGE Indian population and this is the first great Indian I've had in years. read more

Came here for dinner and was satisfied with my meal. At 8:30 PM I was the only one in the restaurant so that was pretty odd. I got some lamb vindaloo, garlic naan and a lager. The lamb was good but a little on the tough side and the vindaloo was nice and spicy as I wanted. rice wasn't included in the dish which was somewhat of a letdown considering the vindaloo itself was not on the bargain side of pricing. But overall the waitstaff was good and the food was satisfying. Would definitely eat here again if in the area and needed a hit of Indian. read more

Delicious lamb korma, garlic naan, veggie dishes (anything spinach), basmati rice. Friendly service and low key environment.

Never really ate here in the restaurant setting. However, we had our food catered from this restaurant for our wedding. The food was really good. There were some dishes here and there that were not perfect, but who's perfect anyway? They still get 5 stars. The owner really listens to you when it comes to how you want your dishes to taste. Not many places do that these days. The quality of food at the restaurant is not the same. We did eat a taste-test at the restaurant and told the owner what minute changes we wanted made. The owner did mention that catered food is all freshly made to order which was great. They added extra paneer and chicken at our request. All our guests really did rave about the food from here. Would definitely recommend for dining in (as the restaurant food itself was still very good) and if you're having a party or wedding, this is the place to pick for catering. read more

I used to like this place but unfortunately India Palace has slowly gone down hill. Waaaay down hill. Plus as I learned, they have zero loyalty to their customers who eat there fairly regularly. Last night was the last straw. In fact my meal was like chewing straw and inedible. I ordered the Bhindi Masala which is a vegetable okra dish. I have had this several times before but tonight the okra was so tough that if I were to actually swallow it (rather than spit it out in my napkin-sorry gross but true) I guarantee my throat would have been scratched. Also our Roti bread was burned.Not once did anyone check to see how our meals were. When the waitress offered me a box for the uneaten meal at the end , I declined and explained the situation: I have had this dish before but it was like chewing wood shavings (explained it nicer than that) and she just said ok and brought us the bill with no offer to either replace it with another item or take it off the bill like 99.9% of establishments would do. So, they have lost our business and managed to tick off a yelper over a VERY simple customer service issue. read more

Food was extremely good and the hostess was quite friendly. She even gave me a rice pudding to try for free with my takeout order. Will definitely be back as the food was delicious. I had the chicken tiki masala and was initially annoyed that the rice is sold ala carte, however the portion size was quite generous so I definitely have enough for dinner tonight or lunch tomorrow. read more

My friend and I stopped there on our way to flagstaff. The restaurant is priced pretty reasonably for the quantity of food. Food was decent. The place served poppadum with chutney for free. We ordered malai kofta, lamb korma, garlic naan, shahi rice and raita. Everything tasted food. I was a little disappointed with the pistachio kulfi as it had a dough texture but it still taste good. read more

For those who are confused. this used to be the India Palace on 51st and Greenway and prior to that it was on 7th avenue and Bell. It seems the quality of the food changes with each new location. The quality of the food has changed..and not for the better unfortunately. I stil think India Palace is one of the better Indian restaurants in the valley and would recommend it for the casual Indian diner. But for an Indian person or a non-Indian who is used to eating Indian food and has more discriminatory tastes, I would ask you to go elsewhere. I recently dined here and it had the same problems it had last time. It's curries are too watery. It's naan are too small and "dish rag" like and pala/saag was also very runny and had a baby food like consistency. The nice thing about this place is of course it's ambience which is beautiful, contemporary and new. The service is also pretty good here. read more

I am new to Indian Cusine having had it just once before in London. I was looking for something approaching good Indian food in the Phoenix area, and must say I've found the place. I first called to find out if the restuarant was open as a few other revies had mentioned it had closed. I was pleasantly surprised to hear it was open, as it isn't to far from work. I wanted to order ahead and take out for dinner. When I arrived, the food was done and I was on my way. The place was empty at the time (Wednesday at 5PM) so I was a little nervous, but the food was really good. I had the Chicken Curry and the garlic naan. I would recommend both! read more

While not inedible, I don't think the flavors were at all authentic. We tried the chicken curry, eggplant, vegetable korma and tandoori chicken. Of these, the chicken tandoori and v. Korma were best. The nan was decent. The food, even at medium, is not at all spicy. read more

Ewwwwwww, so disappointed!!! DO NOT EAT HERE! I truely think it is a heath hazard. My wife and I were excited to try India Palace since we have not found a good Indian restaurant in AZ yet. We read the great reviews on Yelp and went in expecting to have a new favorite. We ordered the Somosas as an appatizer and they came out cold, almost frozen in the middle. We had to ask for new ones, which came out steaming hot. Problem sovled right? Wrong. Next we had the chicken tikka masala, chana masala, rice and riata (yogurt dip). I was the first to find a hair in my rice and then a minute later my wife pulled a 6-7 inch dark hair off of her fork TOO!!! The Chana Masala was bland, needed salt and the Chicken Tikka Masala only had about 8 small pieces of chicken, for $10!! To top it all off, I used the restroom to wash my hands and they had no soap in the dispenser, only a dirty bottle of softsoap sitting on top of the dispenser. Safe to say, we will not go back. Even with the $1.50 yogurt sauce being comped due to the cold somosas, wouldnt you comp the problem item not the least expensive?? :( read more

Never again. My husband brought me food home the first time. He told me they got food off the buffet but I didn't realize the buffet was closed! It had just been sitting there. Well, this time, they did the same thing. Hubby's plate was dirty and he told them ( the place had 2 other tables on a Friday night) and the lady took it and walked over to paces and washed it with a dirty rag she was cleaning with and then gave it back to him! We bought samosas ( served over a tiny big of ragged brown white lettuce) and three other meals plus rice. After the Appetizer, when we asked for a new plate, the English lady said "we don't normally do this but okay" . THANKS! And they don't give free refills on any drinks, even coke and iced tea! I spent almost 60 bucks there, paying extra for rice and nan bread. The food was good but I hope u go under just like the place I heard the English lady ran before. You deserve to go under. U don't know how to treat your customers. I wish I wouldn't have given you a tip. Shame on you. 60 dollars for that service. Goodbye. read more

Definitely not a child friendly place. Came here with my wife and children hoping to enjoy a dinner with my family. As we enter, the hostess allows us to sit where we like which we thought was nice. We chose a booth because our 3 month old is in a carrier. Shortly after our baby soils himself and needs changing. My wife takes baby to the bathroom and finds out there's no changing station. She has no choice but to change him on the filthy bathroom floor on top of a thin plastic changing pad. Our child's screams could be heard throughout the restaurant from the fear and discomfort of the hard floor. By this time our 2 year old is whiny, uncomfortable and refusing to eat due to the warm dining room. So we decide to move to a booth underneath a ceiling fan. As we're moving our things, the same hostess asks why we're moving. I inform her it was too warm to comfortably dine where we were sitting. She then asks us to move to the other end of the restaurant because she claimed they were cleaning the side we just moved to. I thought a minute ago we could sit where we desired but okay we'll move. So we move, again, to the other end. Mind you we haven't eaten a bite of our food yet. As I carry our 2 year old in his high chair to our newly assigned booth, the hostess brings him a sweet treat and places it in front of him to try and calm him down. I push the treat away because he hasn't eaten his dinner yet. All parents know at this point a 2 year old is gonna throw a tantrum and definitely not want to eat his dinner because he wants the sweet treat now. I get it, the intention was good but the decision was poor. It made a bad situation worse. Given our situation, I wish she given it more thought and asked us first. Furthermore how would she know if our child has a food allergy or not? At this point I ask for our check and to go boxes because it isn't fair to the diners around us to hear our kid screaming. I wish they cared about their diners a little more and turned on the AC or at least propped a door open. It was cooler outside than inside. The reason for the 2 stars: the food was decent. read more

Amazing. I keep going back for more. I'm in love! It is soooo delicious. That in itself is an understatement. The servers are so sweet and always give us a new dessert same to try after our meal! One of my favorite restaurants EVER! read more

Worst buffet worst service . The gulab Jamun can be used for scientific experiments, I think it has been frozen for like 10 years. Bread was dry, rice half cooked and curries were just some frozen cut vegetables in a pool of Garam masala . Stay away from this place unless u want to cleanse your bowel with dysentery and food poisoning. read more

What I liked about this place was that it was not as greasy as most Indian restaurants in the U.S. Unfortunately, the flavors were somewhat bland. Palak paneer was average. Naan was ok. Vegetable pakora was good. read more

Best Indian food I have found in Phoenix hands down. Food is flavorful and authentic, and the staff are always friendly and accommodating.

Wonderful food, especially for anyone familiar with northern Indian cuisine. Chili chicken is very unique. Lamb Vindloo outstanding. Love the garlic naan. A Kingfisher beer a great plus. Very helpful and friendly staff. read more

I'm glad that I choose them for curry catering for my daughter's birthday party... the food was delicious and everyone loved it... thanks for making my day special read more

We decided on a whim to dine here after ordering take-out the other week. My husband chatted with the owners and found they were from England, which they both had in common, and they seemed keen to have our repeat business. Translate: they know the English penchant for a weekly curry and they wanted us to become regulars. And I sooo wanted to, I really did. But Alas. Compared to other Indian restaurants we have been to, in England in particular, the flavors were just ok. The decor was better than your average strip mall location and was very clean inside. The servers tonight lacked quite a bit in the attentiveness department. On the one hand, they were quick to bring pappadams and an assortment of the usual dipping sauces, and the main entrees we ordered were delivered quickly, however waters were left empty and we had to remind the servers of a couple things we had requested such as eh-hem our Taj Majal. My advice, never stand between a man (my husband) and his beer, particularly when you are offering up some spicy dishes. All in all it was a good meal but certainly not my best nor most memorable Indian meal. read more

Insipid food. So so service. Cleanliness level is highly questionable.

Very good quality Indian food. I've been here many times for the lunch buffet. Today my wife and I came for dinner and ordered off the menu. The menu has a rich variety of options and everything I've tried has been very good to excellent. The service has also been good. read more

This restaurant is so fancy looking and the family working inside just makes you feel so welcome. Also, the food! Seriously my favorite Indian restaurant, no, my favorite food, been going long enough to merit a review. I go there every trip to Phoenix and extort take out from any of my friends when they go. The naan is made in a clay oven FROM INDIA! It just doesn't get any better. Try the mataar paneer or the chicken mataar, super flavorful, and available in extra spicy if you're feeling brave, but really haven't tried a bad dish yet. Always pile on a side of fluffy rice and the yogurt is a good savior if you took it too far with the spicy. There's this really cool mango smoothie drink the lady brought me once too, very nice of her to show she was starting to recognize me. Anyways, go! I really never write reviews, that's how good this place is, I'd go door to door if they threatened to close down. They will be the food at my wedding. read more

Went here because we had bought a coupon off of LivingSocal.com. First the service was lacking. There was only two other tables seated yet it took 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge us. The food was mediocre tasting. The chickpeas were hard in the channa masala, the chicken tikka masala tasted burned and the shrimp in the shrimp kadahi was overcooked. We ordered the food spicy and I found the food to be bland with just spice (heat). We did complain about the chicken tikka masala and they did switch it out for us. The worst of it all was that they didn't accept the Livingsocial voucher. The manager gave us some lame excuse and claimed that he had a sign up stating that. It wasn't up that night for us to see. Frustrating! I won't be going back. read more

The food was alright. I went in for lunch buffet. Service was great but food not so much. Being an indian i guess i am more aware of the flavors and thats exactly what was missing. Desserts were terrible their gulab jamun was hard as a rock and the kheer was missing its main ingredient SUGAR. I give this an average go. read more

Went in for the buffet and wasn't disappointed. They had a good selection and everything was fresh. Took the 'rents and my dad went up three times. That's a good sign that everything was good. Will return for sure. read more

This is our favorite Indian restaurant. The food is always fresh and very tasty, the portions are very generous and the staff are always so helpful with our gluten free requests. We have had two new Indian restaurants open closer to our home, but neither can compare to India Palace. read more

One of the worst restaurants i have ever been. Food was ok but the service and the attitude was horrible. They over charged us and when we asked why they started shouting at us. Only restaurant i have seen where they charge gratuity for 4 people. Horrible place and will never go there read more

India Palace is a place for those who want to taste authentic North Indian cuisines . I am from Northern Part of India and I get all the cuisines matching the taste i get back in North India . Its bread (Butter Naan) is as soft as I used to have in India . My wife and me like Cheese Masala , Malai Kofta in Veg and we usually ordered these combinations mostly . I tried chilly chicken and it was also authentic chilly chicken . Best part is its spice levels are also low which matches the low spice levels of North India. read more

Fantastic Buffet every day for lunch. Very tasty food . Very reasonably priced. Authentic Indian food. I loved the palak and also chicken tikka masala. read more

My family and I have eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants in the valley and this one is the greatest by far! The service is great and the food is wonderful. When we want to try different dishes they are very accomodating and give us a sample to try to see if we will like it first. I highly recommed it! read more

I come here about once a week for lunch. The food is very good and I enjoy the staff as they're very friendly. I always leave satisfied. The Daal Makhani is my favourite! I definitely recommend this establishment. I have been trying many other Indian restaurants in Phoenix and always find myself comparing it to India Palace. Again, this place is my favourite, I love this restaurant! I've been coming here for a couple years and I've been here many times and am always happy with my meal. read more

My wife and I have been driving all the way from Litchfield Park and West Peoria for several years going to this restaurant. We have never had a bad experience and we are absolutely in love with their weekend buffet. The naan is fantastic and my personal favorite dish is the Palak Aloo. Who knew spinach could be so good?? read more

Looking for the best Indian restaurant in town? This is it! No matter what you order, you won't be disappointed. Their meat (beef, chicken or lamb) is cooked perfectly. Usually when restaurants serve chunks of meat, they are always overcooked and dry, but not at India Palace -- they are always cooked to order and juicy. And no matter which sauce you choose, the depth of flavor will wow you. This is not just another ethnic restaurant, this is a gourmet experience; you can taste the chef's love in every bite. And their prices are very reasonable. Tonight we ordered Makhani Chicken, Lamb Boti Masala, Paratha Aloo Nan, and hot Chai tea. Amazing! read more

The $9.99 lunch buffet is wonderful. Plenty to choose from and you walk out very full and satisfied. The tandoori chicken is my favorite. The daal ,spinach and masala are sooo good too. The different flavors make your mouth melt. I highly recommend this place. You can't go wrong read more

Food still good, however I feel like it's quality declining gradually... Maybe update and change the buffet menu sometime? Waiters need some (a lot) of training... read more

I have been here twice for dinner recently and the food is insanely delicious. They start you off at dinner with Papadom, these wafers that are simple yet tasty. They have an onion appetizer, onion Bhaji, that is deep fried with garbanzo flour, which is gluten free, and it was almost like eating onion rings, something I really miss being GF. The onions have a wonderful flavor. The Chicken Tikka Masala has to be my favorite dish but the Lamb Vindaloo is a close second. I went there for lunch the other day since I work close by and it was a buffet with a good variety of dishes. There was also a hot chai tea that was very flavorful and spicy plus a rice dessert that was pretty yummy. The buffet was just under $10, a very reasonable price for a buffet.The service is attentive, the food comes out pretty quickly and it's a good experience all around. This place gets two thumbs up in my opinion. read more

Food was amazing. Service was amazing. If you like Indian food you will love this place. Best Indian restaurant in Phoenix

I went to India palace yesterday. The food was great. I just love the taste, it was great. I love chicken tikka, rice and tandoori chicken. I also recommend you eating desserts it was so tasty and I love it so much. The food taste exactly like food in India, there was no difference and I just love and love it. read more

I was very excited to order from here. I am giving a low rating because of the service used to deliver my food. AzMealMan. I ordered my meal and it was delivered; after the girl left I noticed that I was missing a dish and there were no eating utensils or napkins. I immediately called Azmealman...already closed. I left a voicemail and I even wrote on the facebook page. They responded on the fb page by telling me to call...which I already had!!! I called again tonight. Nothing yet. OH...and now they don't allow comments on their fb page. So. Two things....missing dish, no eating utensils, no follow up, no facebook posts/comments from public...thumbs down. AS for the food I did get...it was ok. RIce with peans/nuts was generous and tasted good,, tandoori mixed plate was good...and there was alot of it. The naan was not worth $1.50 at all. In fact...it wasn't worth the $41 at all. I might try it again by actually GOING to the buffet...perhaps I can recoup some of my losses then. read more
