If you think great Indian food can't come from inside a gas station, Rasoi Indian Cuisine inside…read morethe Big Apple Travel Center is about to prove you very wrong. This is authentic, traditional Indian food with both meat and vegetarian options. I had the paneer channa masala, and it was fantastic. It's made with a mild sauce, but fair warning--mild still has some heat! It's the kind of spice that's warm and flavorful rather than overwhelming. The naan is made fresh, and you can taste the difference. Pro tip: If the spice catches up with you, grab a mango lassi--or my favorite way to finish the meal, the kheer rice pudding. If you love authentic Indian food and aren't afraid of a little spice, this place is absolutely worth the stop. Plus it's inside a travel center so you can fuel up, grad snacks for the road, and take a bathroom break! Need help deciding? The friendly staff will gladly help you with the menu options!

Unfortunately, the "spicy" butter chicken wasn't spicy at all, which was disappointing. I also prefer my naan on the thicker side, and this one was noticeably thin. For the butter chicken and naan, the total was about $20 without a drink. For the portion and overall experience, I didn't feel it was worth the price. The fact that the restaurant is located inside a truck fuel station also takes away from the dining experience for me. Unfortunately, the biggest issue came afterward. The food upset my stomach, and I was in the bathroom within an hour and again about three hours later. Because of that, I won't be coming back. Overall, friendly staff, but the food, value, and how I felt afterward just weren't enough to make me want to return.

The selection offers a great variety, making it easy to find something you'll enjoy whether you're new to Indian cuisine or a longtime fan. One of the highlights for us was discovering that the owners are the former owners of Taj Mahal on Republic Road. Having recently moved back to Springfield from Las Vegas, it was refreshing and comforting to see familiar faces again. The buffet truly has something for everyone. Adventurous eaters can explore a variety of traditional Indian dishes, while those with dietary preferences, including vegans, will find plenty of delicious options as well. The welcoming atmosphere and friendly service make the experience even better. We're happy to have India Palace in Springfield and look forward to many more visits. Highly recommended!

We live near Branson so we don't love eating the chain restaurants. We like to try the little holes in the wall. And this one didn't disappoint. I got the butter chicken and my husband got the chicken korma. They were both delicious! It literally hit the spot. However, we did both order the butter naan, and we should have one made one order. They give you a lot! The service was great! They were attentive and quick! We were expecting a leisurely dinner, which we could have lingered, but it was quick. No complaints there! Cute little restaurant. Not super busy, but busy enough to know it's good. Very friendly! We will be back!

Everything on the buffet was fresh and plentiful, and I appreciated the desserts and chai were included. I was sad to find out on Wednesday 5/6 that they now only have a buffet on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They do have a lunch platter: chicken curry, veg korma, rice and naan for...I don't remember, maybe $10? The korma was great but the curry was a little light on the chicken. Regardless, this is a great choice for Indian especially on that side of town. I was also reviewing their menu and was delighted to see that they have Momos, which I believe are Nepalese dumplings. I will definitely try them next time I'm there! The mango lassi was fabulous too, and I noticed that they have Rose lassi and lime soda as well.

There's even outdoor seating and a rooftop (pretty sure I spotted that), but with it being 30 degrees out, I kept my Missouri-born self firmly indoors. I was seated right away and handed both the full menu and their daily lunch menu, which comes with two choices: vegan or non-vegan. Plot twist -- even the non-vegan option arrives as a full-on sampler platter with a veggie dish included. My plate came stacked: fluffy basmati rice, rich butter chicken(top middle), tender chicken tandoori (top left), a hearty vegetable curry (top right), three massive slices of fresh naan, and a little dessert to finish things off. All for fifteen bucks. Fifteen! It's easily one of the best lunch deals downtown. Everything was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor -- except the dessert (bottom middle), which was cold(because it's supposed to be, but still super tasty. Zayka absolutely delivers on bold, authentic Indian cuisine at a price point that just feels unfair to everyone else. The buffet must still be an option, but not Thursdays apparently, so I'm already planning my return trip.

It was different than most places. The tikka masala was also a little different than we're used to but it was still really good.

Service started out great but got slow at the end. Overall good experience though!
