I stopped by based solely on my last 2 times I have stopped with family. It really is simply just a truck stop. The bathroom was filthy, smelled unhygienic, and clearly needs some repairs. The samosa chaat was quite good although it could've been a bit warmer and had some tamarind chutney. The naan was also quite tasty. The paneer however was a bit disappointing. Other than spiciness (that I requested), flavor was lacking. I had to add a decent amount of salt. If I didn't go up to the cashier at the end of eating, then I would have never gotten my chai. The chai was premade in a giant container and was ok. Service was lacking and the cashier had headphones in the whole time and had people waiting for him to come take his order at the front.

We were driving back down to San Diego from the Bay Area and found ourselves starving at around 9pm…read moreand wanted to find real food - not just junk fast food. We were surprised to see an Indian restaurant attached to an Arco. We decided to try it and it was absolutely delicious. We had lamb biriyani with cucumber yogurt sauce, and chicken tikka marsala with naan. The food tasted authentic and was hearty and comforting. The worker gave us free Indian coffee and was most attentive. The restaurant is clean and tidy and had many tables to be seated at. I was very impressed with the overall meal especially since we thought all we would find out in the middle of nowhere was McDonald's.

They had a good variety of options on the lunch buffet, the aloo gobi, butter chicken, tandoori chicken , goat curry , fish pakora, and more.

The gentleman at the counter was friendly and helpful. Look forward to going back and trying some of the other dishes off the menu.

The samosa was not too oily, the chana / chickpea was warm and well cooked. Aloo paratha was one of the best I ever had. It was quite big, well stuffed and well cooked. Tasted like homemade paratha. It's more than enough for one person. They also have delicious laddos. Overall great place, looking forward to trying other dishes.

I am a vegan and they were extraordinarily helpful in choosing options and ensuring that the dishes were vegan. They were able to make a roti bread vegan for me and I also enjoyed the delicious Tadka Dal. Above all though, we highly recommend the Gobi Manchurian. Wow. The meat eaters in the family thought that the tandoori chicken was amongst the best they've ever had, perfectly spiced and moist. And the garlic naan was wonderful as well. We discovered them on a trip to Yosemite and enjoyed the food so much that we made sure to stop there for lunch on the return trip home.

Super tender chicken and the sauce was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor perfectly spiced without being too heavy. With the fluffy rice and warm naan it was one of those meals you don't want to end. What really makes this place stand out though is the service. The owner is always there super welcoming and constantly checking in to make sure you're taken care of. You can tell he takes pride in the food and the experience. Great food top-tier service this place doesn't miss.

Again the flavors were consistent and the servers did a great job even though it was the buffet option picked. They do have door dash, payment the do take card and Apple Pay.

I wish I had found it sooner. The Chili Chicken is a taste explosion and the Goat Marsala was delicious. Even the plain Nan was tasty. I cant wait to sample the Buffett so I can try their other dishes and I express from my heart that if you like Indian cuisine you cant go wrong here and if you never tried Indian food before, I suggest you try theirs. I went 40 years before I tried Indian cuisine and now I cant get enough. I went 2 years living in Turlock and I thought I would have to move to find a good restaurant but now I have Nagina Palace, Texas Roadhouse and the Eggs Benedict at Huckleberrys. Please let me know if there are other good restaurants in Turlock that Im not aware of. Thank you Nagina Palace!!! Your a lovely Oasis, in a dry hot desert that is called Turlock. Keep up the good work.

The strawberry lassi was a little syrupy, didn't mix well with the food. But worth the try. Overall, great experience! We'll be back.
