I called ahead asking if they had vegetarian options on their buffet. They said 4 vegetarian options and 4 meat. Once I arrived, I saw the options... Squash. Carrots and potatoes. Cream spinach. Black lentils was the last. I was disappointed but still thought I'd try, the flavors were lacking, just like the options. Not 1 paneer dish? For the price, I was let down completely. I wish I drove the extra distance and went to Tandoori Guys instead. Also, buffet set up felt cramped/not well put together. read more

India Palace Restaurant is probably the only Indian buffet (which I love) in Tulsa, OK. As with the most Indian buffet restaurants, the selections at India Palace are limited. At India Palace Restaurant, I like the basmati rice with chicken tikka masala on top, a side of Tandoori chicken, and some fresh vegetables. These are my favorite dishes. I don't really care for the other few dishes available. For a buffet, the restaurant looks nice. It looks much fancier than the traditional Chinese buffet restaurants and comparable to some Korean BBQ&Hotpot places. In terms of Indian buffets around Tulsa areas, I feel like Tandoori Guys in Broken Arrow is better. The chicken tikka masala at Tandoori Guys is so good. read more

UPDATE - Hadn't been here for a while but it didn't disappoint. We got the samosas for appetizer and the tandoori chicken and the kebab chicken. The sauces in particular were good. Great service and ambience, competitive prices. Plenty of parking available. Make a reservation especially on Friday night and weekends. read more

It's always been an experience exceeding satisfaction. India Palace brought Indian food to Tulsa long before the trend. Quiet & nicely decorated. Wait staff, chefs, & management consistently provide above-par levels of service. read more

The food is exceptional as is the service. We've been going for years and have never been disappointed. Large portions, no long wait time for food and the staff is very attentive. Their samosas and the red onion chutney are the best I've ever had. The owner always greets us and makes us feel welcome. This is one of my favorites in Tulsa. read more

My previous reviews still hold up. They have great vegan options and a vegan section on the menu. I've had all of them, several times, and they are always delicious. Everyone, from the owner to the busser are kind, polite, and attentive. Your drink will never get even halfway emptied before it is refilled. After coming here regularly for ~30 years, I've never had a bad experience. My vegetarian and omni friends also love this spot. I cannot recommend this joint highly enough. read more

We really wanted Indian while visiting Tulsa and there were not a ton of options close to us. This place was highly rated. Service was incredible, the server was incredibly attentive. Portions were large, we ordered entrees and did not utilize the buffet. The only negative I would list is they seem to be missing some of the normal items at most other Indian restaurants like paneer pakora, shrimp 65, chili paneer. read more

Buffet was meh. Service was great! The ambiance was neither here nor there. The kids enjoyed it. read more

Buffet- Flavor has changed over the years. Has lost some of its ethnic taste... but ok. Service is excellent! Ambiance is the same as always.. pleasant. Price was a little steep. read more

Visiting from out of town and my brother always stops to eat their lunch buffet each time he comes to Tulsa. Buffets are usually the catalyst to knowing what to order at a sit down. The buffet line had a nice variety of choices! Some vegetarian options and others with chicken or beef. They had the popular dish Chicken Tikka Masala, which had great flavor. The naan was hot and fluffy. They had a dish with paneer which was awesome to see since a lot of Indian buffets don't typically that. They had two options of desserts as well to the side of the line. I wish they had small bowls for their sauce. I also thought is was odd they had limes rather than lemon, but maybe it was all they had that day. My biggest complaint is that it was so cold in the restaurant. A lot of people originally took off their jackets/coats but quickly put them back on. The food quickly became cold as well. Service was good; plates cleared off and waters always refilled. Cost was affordable for the variety. The restaurant is spacious and has a lot of tables. I'd come back again as their buffet rotates with different options! read more

Absolutely love the lunch buffet. Everything is always hot and fresh, service is great. Don't forget to get your mango lassi.

I've been eating at India Palace for almost a decade. It's a long-time favorite for many. The fresh selections of their lunchtime buffet are fantastic! Wonderful Indian flavors that you customize via the buffet, or order off the menu and share a plethora of dishes, family style, with a group. It's a great way to sample foods. The decor is simple (albeit a little dated), but most people are there for the food. The service is ok, but if you're there for the lunch buffet, they will mostly leave you alone, and just check in periodically. If you enjoy Indian food, you gotta check 'em out! read more

Good food! Here on business and found this place on yelp! Awesome and quick ! I don't come to Tulsa much, but will be back. read more

Me and my girlfriend are regulars here and eat at India Palace at least once a week. The food is absolutely delicious, reasonably priced, big portions, and the service is impeccable. The staff is always super attentive and very kind. We have tried most of the other Indian spots in town but the service at India Palace is what really keeps us coming back for more:) read more

India Palace, if you're going to call yourself an Indian restaurant, at least attempt to deliver something remotely close to the cuisine. What we experienced was a total disgrace to Indian food. Every single dish we tried--kebabs, beef biryani, pulao, and whatever else we braved--tasted like a chaotic blend of nothingness. Bland doesn't even begin to describe it. Spices? Non-existent. It's almost laughable, considering the whole world once fought wars over Indian spices, and yet here, there's not a single trace of them. The food is so far from authentic, it's like they threw random ingredients together, hoping to pass it off as Indian. Spoiler alert: it failed miserably. This was hands-down the worst Indian meal I've ever had, and trust me, I've had plenty. Whoever's in charge of the kitchen either needs a crash course in real Indian cooking or they need to rethink calling this place an Indian restaurant. Do yourself a favor--skip this place entirely. read more

The food, service, and ambiance compete for the stars here. The ambiance provides a quiet, low-lit dining room with unique paintings and art throughout. The service is attentive (my server, Eric, looked to see when I made eye contact tact and responded immediately). Everyone made eye contact co tact and a polite smile when they say assed by, refilling my water (remembering my request for "no ice"). And The FOOD! Oh wow; I ordered the Chicken Biryani and Parata, with Raita. It was very flavorful without being overly spiced. The portions are generous. The Raita had unique ingredients, which I couldn't identify, but which made it so flavorful on my Paratha & Biryani. The manager offered me a small sample of the Chicken Tikka Masala and it had a fresh tomato base with mild spices. I till return here when I'm in Tulsa again. read more

After hearing so many great reviews and discovering that India Palace is the oldest Indian restaurant in Tulsa, I knew I had to give it a try--and it didn't disappoint! The dark, cozy atmosphere adds a unique charm, and the abundance of servers ensures you're well taken care of from the moment you walk in. We started with some seedy crackers and a variety of salsas, ranging from super sweet to very spicy, which was a fun and flavorful way to begin the meal. We ordered the chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, garlic naan, and puri (per our server's recommendation). Every dish was fantastic--the flavors were rich, and the portions were just right. The only downside to the experience was that different servers kept coming by to ask if we were done with our food, and they attempted to take our plates away multiple times while we were still eating. It was a bit disruptive, but overall, it didn't take away from the delicious meal (we're just slow eaters!). India Palace is definitely worth a visit, especially if you're a fan of authentic Indian cuisine. read more

Yesterday (9/29/24) i was craving india palace, i begged and begged my friend to please go with me. i promised it was so good, i've never had a bad meal at india palace. yesterday was the first time i dined in and unfortunately it will be my last. the service was quick, the waiters were nice, the ambience is very classy, the food was absolutely amazing. we paid our $50+ bill and left happy! it wasn't until my friend who i begged to go, (who ended up loving it so much he paid for it), reached out to tell me his card was left at the restaurant and someone used it at a QuikTrip. I just called them and asked for the manager, no one was available so i passed on that we will be getting the footage from the QT to see who stole his card. I was told that i'd get a call back in 30mins from a manager, that's not happened. extremely disappointing, hope it was worth it! read more

We started off with the The Assorted Hors D'Oeuvres. The hubbs ordered the lamb Punjabi with garlic naan and I ordered the chicken Tikka masala - it was all amazing - you can definitely tell they cooked it in coconut milk - they started off with complimentary bread and their sauces - Amazing! We will definitely be back read more

Food is absolute perfection!!! Service is great. Only negative is check your to go order before you leave. They got ours wrong twice before. Big order who wants to check it all. Or deal with fixing it. Literally can barely stand to wait the ride in the car before eating it. We A Tulsa tradition and favorite! The BEST Indian food in the state! read more

It's a hidden gem here in Tulsa I couldn't find a decent restaurant during Thanksgiving (which is understandable), and we stumbled upon this place. The staff were so lovely and accommodating. The ambiance is relaxing, and mild noise. It is not overcrowded--clean bathrooms and area. The food is yummy!!! I got the fish masala and chicken dish. It was small but enough. Thanks for rescuing my Thanksgiving dinner!!! read more

Today I am sad. This restaurant has been one of our favorites for over 20 years. Now we will not go back. We went for lunch and were pushed toward the buffet. It was not good at all. The offering was slim and had none of the flavor of their previous food. We felt rushed to eat fast and get out. Pretty expensive for bad food. Really wish we had listened to other reviews and never returned. Now we will not. read more

Fantastic food , service. and management Guldeeo is always on the floor checking on customers read more

I've been going to this place for 20 years. It has a special place in my heart. Great food, warm atmosophere, kid friendly. Our son's first meal when he could eat solids was here! I like pretty much everything here, but the naan, veggie fritters and chicken tikka masala are amazing. read more

I ordered chai tea and is was a perfect blend of spices and black tea and creamy milk. I love cinnamon and cardamom. We started with Gobi Manchurian, which is fried cauliflower with a spicy sauce. This is considered more Indo-Chinese, but it's very good. I thought the spice was perfect. I have grown to love cauliflower because it's amazing recipes like this. We ordered the Kashmiri Naan, which is Naan with nuts and fruit. I love dipping this sweet bread in a spicy sauce, because it's such an amazing juxtaposition of flavors. We ordered the Vegetable Biryani, which was 9 vegetables and cashews with rice. Man, all of this was god, even veggies I don't normally like. My grandson ordered the chicken tikka masala and he ate it all. He acted like he was going to reject it but then he chowed down. read more

Very mediocre in every way. Atmosphere is dark and loud. Waiters don't really give any instruction or ask if you need anything. We knew it was a buffet but they just brought us water and never came back. I had to flag somebody down to see if we could serve ourselves whenever. Several waiters do not speak English. Selection is pretty minimal, and certain items are out of place like tomato soup that tastes like canned Campbell's. The naan is *always* out and not replaced very quickly. I noticed another large party had a plate of naan come to their table so I asked if we could have one too but it never came. Almost everything was very lacking in flavor. The pakora was not fried enough and very doughy in the middle, gross. The rice especially was chewy and oddly undercooked. Mint chutney is always my favorite condiment for everything and it was tasteless. My kids absolutely love Indian food, and they didn't care much for this. There were only 2 options for dessert, both puddings. The organization of the line is also confusing so people are often waiting on each other and going opposite directions. Very disappointed. Seemed to be Americanized for people who don't enjoy real Indian cuisine. read more

My friends and I had dinner at India Palace tonight to celebrate a birthday in our group. We've done this here a few other times over the years, and it does not disappoint. The food is fantastic. They bring a plate of rice for the table to share, and then each person orders what they want for their main entree. I had beef vendaloo for the first time. It was delicious! The beef was so tender, and the sauce was flavorful and wonderfully spicy. My friend, the birthday girl, had channa masala. I'd never had that before either, and it was a great surprise. It's a dish made from chickpeas and potatoes in a creamy sauce. Another friend had chicken Tikka masala which is beautifully comforting. We also shared some garlic naan as well as cheese naan. I highly recommend both, but the cheese naan was stellar. The cheese is inside the layer of bread. The restaurant itself is a tad dated- dimly lit, and sort of plain. It doesn't matter though. The food and the service make it worth it. The servers were all super attentive. Our drinks were always full. The location is a bit weird. It's back in a corner, and if you're not careful, you'll miss it. It's worth finding though. And, plenty of others seem to agree based on the steady crowd present- and it's Wednesday, so I'd expect a slower night. read more

India Palace is one of my wife and my favorite spots in Tulsa. We love the food, nothing is ever below top notch. One of our favorite dishes is the Chicken Tikka Masala. A very flavorful dish and can easily be adjusted for more or less heat. We don't visit many buffets these days but even their lunch buffet is a treat. The price for the lunch buffet is a little steep for the pocket book but it still never disappoints, The service is always attentive, prompt and excellent and the ambiance of the place is tasteful and not overdone like some restaurants. This restaurant is definitely a jewel in Tulsa and must visit for anyone who is looking for memorable Indian cuisine. read more

Not much of a selection on the meats. Beef meat ball or chicken in the same sauce and the dry red chicken. Vegs over cooked the fried vegs just tasted like fried batter. Rice was good the mango custard was good. Not much attention taken to the cut of the cucumbers and tomatoes to the salad. All large chunks like "I don't care, they will eat anything." read more

Year after year this place continues to impress! Great service, fast and efficient! I believe the authenticity of this place is right on based on the ethnicity of other guests I see. Has the largest number of " to go" orders I think I've ever seen Restaurant is usually full but I've never had to wait. Looking forward to trying their daily buffet from 12 to 2. The decor of the place is a little dated but who cares with the great food, great service and reasonable prices ! I don't know much about Indian food but this place has been here for a long time and I would highly recommend it. read more

Went back and ate at the restaurant, it's better, probably the best in Tulsa. What I learned is that pickup is just too hit or miss, and if you want to ensure a proper meal/order you need to dine in house. read more

I have been here once for buffet, lunch, and once for dinner, and both experiences were very good! The management make sure to go around and ask how everybody is doing and everybody is very service oriented. I enjoyed several cups of chai with my last meal, which really made my experience complete! If you are in an Indian foodCraver, I would recommend buffet because you get a little taste of everything! Best Indian food I have found so far in Tulsa! read more

Excellent food and service. An unassuming location at a shopping center but a nice interior and a relaxing and delicious experience.

The place is very old and the inside is not very nice . The food is very over priced . The food I got was just ok. It was not good or great in anyway just ok. No flavor not much meat at all just all bland rice . The water was tap water or it just tasted very dirty . The portions were fine . I will say the food was not the best but man the customer service was out of this world ! We had like 4 people waiting on our every need. In conclusion the food was sub par but the staff was amazing ! Update the restaurant and the atmosphere. Try and fix the taste of the food . I for one unfortunately will not be back . read more

The selection is poor, they used the least quality of food. The beef selection was none. The only had chicken and this was Dismal. For the price of a buffet, you would think they would make more Indian food selection. And this was a poorer selection of Punjabi food. They could have had better selection of Pakora. It would have been nice if they had Samosas. Their chutney selection was very poor. The Kofta had a bland taste. The "Tandoori chicken was cold and had no flavor to it. They kept mostly vegetables to keep their profits higher. I gave to stars so I would feel bad, it was deserving of 1star only if that. I honestly felt that they were trying to rip of the customer. The dessert selection was the least Indian dessert present . They taste and flavoring was way off. I drove by today and honestly had no desire to go there for lunch. I've been to many Indian buffets that were not standard, this one doesn't even compare to those. I do not recommend this buffet. Tandoori Guys buffet is much nicer and has more of a selection with better flavoring. Wife also loved it much more. Sh disliked this tremendously. She didn't eat any of her food. It was cold and flavorless. read more

Great service - prompt and kind staff. Amazing food! Would recommend and will definitely eat there again.

Some of the best Indian food in tulsa. My first time there was in college and the quality is the same!

My work team ordered this to pick up for a few birthdays we had an office. This is the best, most authentic Indian food I've had in town so far. I ordered the seafood curry and it was phenomenal. The only thing I have to complain about is the fact that there were only two pieces of shrimp (my coworker had the same situation, so I assume this is monitored). It really should've been called fish curry. Bump up your quantity and the review would definitely be higher. Still giving the restaurant at four. The authentic bread that comes with the entrées is excellent! Everything was top notch. Even the to-go packaging was well done. Nothing leaked like my previous Desi wok to-go order. This to go order was sealed quite nicely and label perfectly. I'll definitely be trying something different next time. read more
