Placed a pick up order Thursday night around 7:20 PM and it was ready within 15 minutes, which was great. The paneer tikka masala was very delicious and the cheese was tasty. I wish there had been a little bit more of it in the sauce. The rice was well cooked and soft. The garlic naan was warm and wrapped in tinfoil. everything came in its own container and was very hot, which was fantastic. there's plenty of seating inside and it is open until 10 PM. They have some lively music on the TVs and it is a very chill laid-back ambience. read more

This is a takeout only review, but I have gotten takeout from here approximately weekly over the last several months so I feel the 5 star review can be backed up!! Indian food has been my one consistent pregnancy craving, and with Gorkha Palace turning over to new owners and the other options in my neighborhood not doing it, I have settled on India Palace as my go to. Note that I do think the food at this location is markedly better than India Palace Roseville although I do think they are related. The Paneer Makhani is my jam-- so buttery and delicious. As I've said, it's my fave in the cities. My husband likes the chicken tikka masala which has a similar base. The garlic naan is nice and garlicky, and the mango lassi the right consistency. Sometimes I treat myself to some samosas too. Again, always ordering via DoorDash but usually it is delivered to my house within an hour. A little planning required, but things seem to be humming along nicely. See you soon India palace uptown!! read more

This has quickly become my partner and mine's favorite Indian spot. Everything has been incredibly flavorful and all of the staff have been incredibly friendly! We love coming here there is obviously a lot of care and love put into the food. The fried cauliflower appetizer is a go to and the mushroom masala is probably my favorite thing I've had. This place is a gem. read more

India Palace is easily my favorite restaurant in the twin cities. They are always consistent and their food is incredibly flavorful. Every dish I've ordered has been 5 stars and I sincerely have no complaints. Their customer service is great! I've ordered multiple times a month for the last 5 years and only twice has there been a mistake with receiving my order, and they generously fixed their mistake both times. This restaurant is always a place I reach for and I hope to continue supporting this business for a long time. read more

Love this place, great family flavor profiles are proper. I just wish they still had the lunch buffet. I used to do my laundry and go down a few doors for lunch. read more

My heart was warmed with the excellent services and delicious chicken masala while waiting for my alterations next door. If you are hungry for food, they are super fast. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in here on a whim one night after the gym. We got the naan, chicken tikka masala and mix biryani. It was all very tasty and I loved that the tikka masala came with a heaping portion of rice as many places often skimp on this. The actual tikka masala portion was a little small for me. The only downside was that the music playing on the TV was exceptionally loud so that it made it hard to speak without shouting. read more

I love India Palace. We get take out from here often and it is always great. I have also eaten in the restaurant a few times and the service was excellent. I like people watching here as all the uptown folks come here to eat. read more

Had this for the first time last week and it definitely won't be my last! I went for lunch with a friend and we were seated right away. They were definitely busy with take out orders but it didn't feel busy. My friend and I ordered the following: veggie samosas- 8/10 delicious! my only critique would be the amount of sauces they gave and the texture of the mint chutney was a little different than what I'm used to but the samosa itself was delicious garlic naan- 10/10 fresh and absolutely perfectly cooked!! chicken tikka masala- 9/10 wow the taste is fantastic but I wish we had more of it!! chana masala- 8/10 it was a great option for people who are vegetarians because the flavors are all there! I cannot wait to come back and honestly, everything was decently priced and I left feeling really full! read more

India Palace Uptown - a variety of indian food - Indian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

My go to place for Indian food. The ambience is good and the curries feel authentic. I especially love the butter chicken and the malai kofta on the menu. The service is very quick and the quantity of the food is also quite large. One meal can easily feed two people. They have different spice levels for people to choose, and asking for Hot is actually a spicier more flavorful version of the curry instead of just tasting of lot of red chili powder. I love coming back to this place for my comfort food. read more

Ordered India Palace Uptown for takeout the other day after one friend told me it was great and another friend told me not to believe them so I decided I had to find out for myself. I ordered Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, Aloo Gobi, and Chicken Biryani all at the medium spice level. Overall, it was solid but nothing special in my opinion. The garlic naan was very good and I'm sure it's even better in person. 5/5 The chicken tikka masala was a much smaller portion than I am used to receiving at Indian restaurants and the medium was not as flavorful or spicy as I would have liked. 3/5 The aloo gobi was solid. A larger portion than the chicken tikka and had a better spice level. I enjoyed it. 4/5 The chicken biryani was a great portion size and the best of the 3 entrees. It came with a side of raita which is basically a yogurt sauce and it went really well with the biryani. Once again, I would've liked it to be a little bit stronger flavor and spice level but overall pretty good 4.5/5 And of course it came with a heaping container of basmati rice which was great. It can be quite frustrating when restaurants don't give you enough rice. 5/5 I am new to the Midwest and heard spice levels in the Midwest all get tweaked down one notch compared to other places so maybe it's just an adjustment thing for me, but my spice tolerance is definitely super low and I found the foods only the tiniest bit spicy aside from the aloo gobi. I would try this again but I'd like to try some other Indian restaurants in the area before then. read more

The people were really nice, we had a staggered arrival and they were understanding. If you wanted something you could call out to a waiter, there is always one near by. The food was amazing! They understand zero spice means absolutely no spice and the four spice was so yummy. The vibe was chill, perfect for a catch up with a friend. read more

Amazinggg.... We always take out for this one but loves to sit also sometimes. Their dishes are little bits different that we like and notice about. They use veggies in their curries which is amazing and perfect. We loved veggies and it definitely makes it stand out in curries. Suggestion- Chicken Tika Masala / Chicken Kharara Balti / Garlic Nam Bread / Veggies Samosa read more

Takeout: Eh, kinda bland, not particularly spicy even with "medium." Dry and boring samosas, good and crispy pakoras, good naan but not very much. Had a hard time ordering for delivery because the menus are different on different sites. There was also a big delivery fee. Decent price for the food. Rice comes with the order but it's unnecessarily packed into annoying containers that put rice all over the place when opening and closing. Probably won't do this place again. There are plenty of boring places like it all over MPLS. read more

#stayathome but lunch supporting local businesses and delivery drivers, Yes please. Healthcare worker just bored of eating everything home cooked. Decided to order some lunch and super happy I did! I got the vegetable Samosas and they were plump, hearty with all the right dance in your kitchen spices. The mint chutney that comes with them was phenomenal. My curry was also delicious and leftovers remained for lunch tomorrow! I used GrubHub for delivery and got my lunch hot, fresh all within 30-35minutes. Highly recommend and for a great price of about $21 before delivery tip. read more

It would be five 5 stars but it's too spicy. More in this later. We had the Chicken tika masala other wise known as buttered chicken excellent sauce. Second is the paneer makhani(tofu) no complaints. Last was the lamb kebab which granted we ordered hot but there are 2 levels of hotness above hot. This was HOT. The side veggie dish, this came with was very tasty. The garlic nan was ok but we got 4 large pieces for $3 - so good value. The kheer(rice pudding) and the gulab jamun(donut holes soaked in sugar sauce) deserts was amazing! read more

What a charming little Indian restaurant? I have passed by this place too many times to count but decided to check them out while I had some family in town. We arrived on a Saturday night around 7:30 pm, no reservations needed and were promptly seated by a very kind hostess. The decor is modern and booth seating options are perfect for groups and couples. The restaurant was fairly busy on this cold winter night and had a cozy inviting feel to it. I ordered the Lamb vindaloo spicy hot. My sister had the Beef vindaloo medium hot. And my Mom had the Lamb Mikhani medium hot. The Lamb Mikhani was so good I think I'll order it the next time I visit. All dishes were served with White rice and it came out in a large pot for us to share. We also ordered Garlic naan and Regular naan to share. The Tamberlin sauce - was perfect with the naan. There was also a Mint sauce but I did not try it. The place ran like a well oiled machine. The staff would come by periodically and check if our rice needed to be refilled, ask if we wanted more naan or anything else, check if we wanted more water or other beverages, and made sure to clear the table as empty dishes to pile up. I look forward to many more visits in the future. read more

Main dish was good--chicken mahkani. The rice, however, tasted like the metal tin it came in. It was kind of expensive for the amount of food. But it was good. Worth a try--I'd recommend dining in. read more

For a generic North Indian buffet restaurant in a stripmall, India Palace is pretty good and not oily, which is the biggest downfall of most North Indian restaurants. I don't do buffets (which is your only option at lunch at India Palace), so this review is about dinner. Many of their vegetarian dishes are vegan by default, but you have to ask questions (I wish they would label their menu to make it easier). The vegetable samosa ($5) was solid, with a nice crispy outer shell and well-seasoned potato innards. The dal ($11) is creamy and savory and vegan by default. They do a good job of it. The matar mushroom ($12) has fresh mushrooms in a light gravy with green peas. It's also vegan by default and pretty good. Lastly, the bhindi masala ($14) features nicely-cooked okra in a savory tomato-onion saute. This is a dish that's easy to make an oily mess or gummy horror show, but here they executed on it perfectly. The roti ($2.50 per piece) was soft and well done. It's vegan if you hold the butter. The service is friendly and the space is unassuming. I can't think of better North Indian food in Minneapolis, but my general preference would still be for the lighter, fresher and more creative dishes at Nepalese restaurants (such as Namaste Cafe a block away or Gorkha Palace in Northeast). read more

I really want to like this place because I live next door but after a number of visits they fail to deliver The online menu is incorrect The advertised buffet doesn't happen anymore The opening hours are wrong - they actually close when they feel like it which can be anything up to an hour before the advertised time The inside is nice but very worn and the lights are like being at a stadium. They are expensive for the portion size. Sadly I'm going to revert to my old favorite which has proved more generous, more flexible and just easier - it's just a drive away read more

This restaurant is my go to Indian food. I've tried many others (some of whom significantly more expensive as well) and none of them compare to this particular restaurant. I can't speak to other locations but this one on Hennepin will always have a place in my heart. The saag and the makani are so so good and flavorful. The garlic naan is always fresh and delicious, the mango lassis are consistently flavorful and not too sweet. The service itself is so good, everyone is so kind. They really care about your experience too. After coming here with no issues for 3 years, they made one little mistake (mixing up the proteins) and I called just to let them know so no one got mad at them (maybe someone was new in the kitchen I'm not sure!) and they immediately opted to correct the issue. They took my name down and remade my food next time I was around no charge and it has been back to no issues ever since. I will always support them. read more

Loved it. We ordered via Uber Eats, food was delivered in about an hour. Two Naan breads (garlic & Peshwari), vegetable Biryani and Chicken Vindalou were more than enough for two of us to share. We're looking forward to a dine-in experience next time. read more

India palace is my go to Indian place in uptown. They have a great lunch buffet that has many different dishes and is always super tasty.

India Palace Uptown - Chicken kashmiri - Indian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Food was OK. If I was in NYC, might be a star lower. The dishes were all pretty bland or sweet. When we asked for some spicy, they just gave us some hot chili thing on the side which means the flavor is not incorporated. We had 5 or 6 dishes and it was forgettable - sweet tomato-y vindaloo with no hear? The naan and Gobi Mere were pretty good, but the gobi is not really an indian dish and bread is always good. The achaar was also good, but I assume they don't make that. Haven't tried any other places in Minnesota so maybe this is good for here? read more

Solid Indian restaurant in uptown, close to the lakes. Sat outside and had lunch which was reasonably priced. I had the butter chicken and both that and the naan were good. read more

Great food, generous with rice portions, delicious rice pudding! Good staff who work hard, definitely worth a visit

I have always enjoyed getting India Palace as take out and eat at home. They have wonderful Naan and veggy korma that in the fall in MN always hits the spot. The only issue we have is with the ordering system - make sure to write down what you ordered because their system does not pass the name through to them which can lead to confusion read more

I've been to every India Palace location in the Twin Cities now! New obsession: paneer naan! Cheese in the naan. Nom nom nom! We had wonderful, friendly service. From the lovely lady that sat us to the gentleman that brought our food. Attentive and checking on us. Refilled water and cleared dishes! I felt fancy with the white tablecloths and excellent service while wearing my yoga outfit! My friend and I shared garlic naan, paneer naan, chicken tikki masala, chicken korma, both with rice, and each got our own Lassie. A lassie is a fruit and yogurt drink. I had strawberry while my dinner mate had a traditional mango one. Everything was so delicious! It came out at the perfect temperature, with the perfect blend of spices. We had more than enough for several servings AND some to take home! Sahweet! Whenever I crave Indian food India Palace is my go to spot. Ever read more

The India Palace in uptown has the best foods to offer on their buffet on a Sunday.I am not sure if this is part of a chain,but damn there food is good.Everything was fresh and tasty! The tandoori chicken was above the rest!.I was so hungry that I forgot to take pictures and remember some of the names of the other dishes.The lamb curry did stand out as I am a big fan of anything lamb. The restaurant itself is rather small.There is an open kitchen behind the buffet.So I watched a few things being prepared while I scoop up my meal.There is a lot of parking.They share the parking lot with SoHo and a few other restaurants. I will be going back to try some of their entrees that I saw was interesting read more

All I can remember now is the guy got mad at my order called it out for the whole restaurant to hear... he says "chicken tikki no bell peppers.... Who ordered that sh***" i answered in front of everyone to prove a point, I'm right here and I'm a person who Is particular and shouldn't be anything wrong with that. I was going all the time until that day they seemed so nice and used to make my tea how I liked the food is a bit greasy but good love the naan bread I will eat it just with the tea! But I don't go back much now I'm a burden and I used to tip all the time just shows u your worth to some business read more

India Palace Uptown - This place was tasty. - Indian Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I love all Indian food, but my closer to home places dont open until 5. So on days when I need my dinner at 5:01, I incorporate India Palace Uptown in our family commute. Their chicken curry is excellent, and mild seasonings = still very flavorful. I like that they have different entree choices, we always get chicken curry plus one other thing. Nothing has blown my socks of yet, but it's all very good. I'm not a fan of their pakora, although it's definitely better when it hasnt spent 15 minutes in a car. Naan = solid and a great deal. read more

Where to start? Reviewing restaurants during "this time" is difficult - ambiance is effected, food quality varies as you take home your favorite house dishes - One thing that doesn't change - is the simple fact that customers still want to be treated with respect and 'cheer'. Maybe you thought I was "just the DoorDash driver" - not that that should matter - I just know had you invited me into your business and sat me at a table with the same level of courtesy as you handed my mediocre take out - I don't know that I'd return. In fact - next time I will travel the extra block to Namaste (their food is delicious and they at least pretend the want your business) read more

I love Indian food, so this has been my go to place for lunch! For takeout, they pick up the phone right away and my food has always been hot and ready within 25 minutes, which is super convenient. Things I've ordered in the past: Dal Makhani - really delicious Chana Masala - also great Palak Paneer - this was good, but was hoping for more flavor Garlic Naan - always worth it! Just a warning though I think they add cilantro I've dined in as well, our waiter was very nice and the food arrived quickly. It would've been great if the table was wiped down more. read more
