Took super long for our takeout but some of the best butter chicken I have ever had!! Service is definitely slower, but food was delish! read more

I called the establishment and they confirmed that the meat is halal. So I was very happy to order the goat vindaloo. It is absolutely rich and delicious. I had enough left over for another portion or two of meat and a portion of rice. The papadum (crispy bread savory) they give in the beginning as a complimentary start is an easy binge. The service didn't rush me which is nice. The ambiance is a cute intimate setting. Did you know that out of red meat and poultry that goat has the least cholesterol? It doesn't taste gamey when it's fresh and halal haha. You're welcome. Enjoy. read more

Wanted to give 3.5 but can't To start we asked for 2 glasses of water but was given 2 3 dollars bottle of water wish I knew would have said no. The Samosa was good but the breading was a little thick The shrimp was very tasty but they left the tales on and since it was fried could not see till I bit into it The lentils was delicious and the lamb was good we asked for spicy but was kind of mild. If they fix a few things i will go back and give it a better review read more

My boyfriend and I met here for dinner on a Sunday night. The staff was cleaning up after a huge baby shower. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because the only off thing about my whole experience was the cleanliness. They could've used an extra person sweeping up and cleaning tables but where we were seated was clean and tidy. Service is a little slow but hey, they get the job done. We looked over the menu for a while and decided to try their dinner combo for two. They have a vegetarian option but we went for the meat. It came with chicken tikka masala, chicken tandoori, sag paneer, rice, naan and samosas. A great deal for under 40 bucks. We ate and then still had some leftovers to pack up for another meal. The tikka masala was delicious, very flavorful. Their rice is perfect. I had never tried sag paneer but it was great too, huge hunks of cheese swimming in a spinach sauce. The garlic naan was also really good, super tasty. I enjoyed my mango lassi but would probably get it as a dessert next time, it's very rich and takes over a lot of flavors. Since I'm new to Indian cuisine I'll keep trying new places but this one will probably be in my regular take out rotation! read more

Good spot, met with a friend of mine here since we were craving Indian food. Service was good, it was quiet that day and the food was good too. They did take a little long but I couldn't complain, food was tasty and I love when the "American mild" spice delivers. I ordered Paneer Tika Masala with butter garlic naan and it was delicious! My friend was happy too! The place was clean and again, not much going on that day. I've been wanting to try it since I always pass by. Not disappointed at all. I guess it was my lucky day. read more

Ordered via UberEats for pick up for 5:45 on a Tuesday. The lot is pretty cramped but I managed to nab the last spot. I ordered the Dinner for Two (meat samosa, chicken tandoori, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, raita, rice, naan). The meat samosa was good, no complaints there. The chicken tandoori was my fave - the meat was very tender. The chicken tikka on the other hand was kind of dry, even when drowned in the sauce. I really like the saag paneer. It was nice because this isn't something I normally would have ordered, so I got to try something different. The naan was pretty standard. The portions were more than enough for two people. We had enough leftovers for the next day so we ended up making our own naan "pizza", using the sauce as the base and chicken as toppings. I'm still on the fence if I would come back because chicken tikka is my favorite dish and it missed the mark here. But when I went in for pick up, I did see a buffet table (probably from lunch). I've been wanting to try an Indian buffet so that I can try new dishes without committing to a whole meal of it, but it has been hard to find since covid. So if they do have that, I would definitely give Kamal Palace a second try. read more

Kamal Palace - Non-Veg Dinner Combo For 2 - Indian Near Me - North Arlington, New Jersey

Friends ordered take out from here, for a lovey Saturday night dinner. I can only give 3 stars, as the vegetarian dishes were just ok. They didn't have much flavor compared to the Indian food I get often on Newark ave in JC. Spice was completely missing, I had to pour the side sauces all over my food. My friends loved the lamb, so that is only dish I can say is recommended here. So if you live anywhere in this area, 15mins away is Indian food heaven , go to Newark ave, Jersey city so many good Indian restaurants can't go wrong. read more

Kamal Palace - Indian Near Me - North Arlington, New Jersey

Everything here is delicious. They will cook the dishes to your spice level. The medium spice is still spicy so I wouldn't want to try the highest level. Garlic naan was really good. read more

Yikes, I'm sad to give an establishment a one star rating but Kamal Palace is lucky to be even offered one. I ordered 3 dishes via doordash for a pickup- the app had claimed my order was ready, yet upon arriving was told it would take an additional 15 minutes- unfortunate, but the least of the worries as everything else was downhill as well. On the menu: - chili chicken - saag paneer - butter chicken - garlic naan - rice that accompanies the paneer and chicken You can stop right here as I can tell you none of the dishes are worth eating, but some details if interested: The food is SO bland- the chefs should be ashamed. The saag paneer was incredibly thin and watery and lacked salt AND flavor. I didn't know what exactly I was eating. The chili chicken was soggy and mildly sweet, but also lacking flavor!! The butter chicken was OK, perhaps the saving grace of the entire meal if we actually want to call it that, but very heavy on butter/cream flavor and lacking salt or the actual balance of authentic butter chicken. Garlic naan was fine and rice honestly wasn't even pure basmati Indian rice- not sure what was used in it's place. Expensive food that's truly not worth it at all. tl;dr- don't bother. read more

This place has been a consistent favorite for myself and wife when in the mood for Indian food. I am not sure but it seems like they have new owners but the menu hasn't changed nor has the quality. The only reason I am taking away a star is that service can be a bit slow but not unbearably slow thankfully and they no longer give you the complimentary lentil papdum. My wife and i always get the non veg dinner for 2. Plenty of food and a variety of food. You get samosa, chicken tandoori chicken tikka masala sag panir raita rice and naan bread. Unfortunately I didn't get pics of everything bc we were so hungry. Our friend got the vegan cchole sag which again is made very well. read more

I came here for a late lunch, and I left thoroughly disappointed. I had veg samosas for an app, and they tasted frozen. My main was garlic naan and chicken vindaloo. I'm not sure if they messed up my order, but it looked like some sort of chicken curry. I had asked for medium spice, and vindaloo should really start off at that level, with a rich, red color. Unfortunately my dish was not close to that at all. Garlic naan was okay- probably the best part of the meal. The gulab jamun for dessert was 3 tiny pieces, and they tasted like they came from a can. Also served semi cold when it should have been warm. Prices are low for Indian food, but you definitely get what you pay for here. Service is terribly slow even when it's empty. Decor is outdated, and the cutlery and dishware has stains, cracks and chips. Staff is nice, but they are forgetful. Small parking lot, but there's street parking. If you're looking for decent to good Indian food, I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

The food is awesome the service is great and the ambiance feels authentic. We truly enjoy eating in or taking out from here. I do think the serving size for take out is smaller than what you get if you eat in so I do think that you should eat in. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for some Indian food. I did spicy and we have a pretty good spice tolerance and enjoyed it enough for flavor but don't think could handle the spiciest option they had. I will be back for sure. read more

Amazing service. Lovely family. Delishious food! And just hidden away in a cute lil strip mall in Jersey Xx

hidden gem!! the wait time for the food was a little long (placed an order for pickup and it was about 1.5 hours total) but the food is so worth it!! the price is really good for what you get and i couldn't even finish my order the service was also really nice. the worker there was very apologetic for making us wait so happy this place is so close to me because i crave indian food every so often and this is a solid spot! read more

I have ordered takeout from your restaurant many times over the past several years. I have noticed in the last year that the food has changed dramatically. Last couple times it was OK but not great. This Sunday the food had no authentic Indian taste, and it was very bland. Please take this as constructive criticism like I said I have eaten your food many times over the past four years and it is not the same anymore. I am sorry. read more

Overlooking the fact that in my youth one of my favorite treats was my best friend's mom's homemade Masala Mathia Papad (think a soft-fresh-puffy insanely spicy version of Doritos - long before America got into the 'fiery foods' trend) - a recent visit to Kamal Palace might qualify as my very first time trying (actual) Indian cuisine. Tucked away in a little strip mall with some culinary heavyweights (Fire-Pit in the same mall, Lassoni and Razzoli's just across the street[s]) - I wasn't too adventurous and stuck with vegetarian options (figuring Shakyamuni would approve!) while the rest of the family went with chicken tandoori. As an American with no reference point as to what's 'good' or 'correct' or 'traditional' I can only give you my uneducated-two-cents... the Mrs. was a hard-five-stars. She was blown away from start to finish and how overly seasoned/spiced each component was and everything was bursting with flavor. Myself and the kids liked our meals but weren't as impressed. My eggplant dish was pulverized and had a consistency akin to baby food. Yes, it was darn tasty (mixing in plenty of the basmati rice to give it some 'structure') but just... a bit odd. The samosa had a great crunchy pastry skin, they weren't skimpy on the filling but it didn't really pop, either. And my buddy (whose mom used to make those scorching hot treats decades ago) told me we had to get the garlic naan, which we did, but I won't lie... I preferred the plain one actually. A small humble restaurant, friendly staff. Generous portions. Pricing is more than reasonable. The parking lot is way too small for all the businesses and usually full. We'd go back (but I would venture to try something completely different the next time). read more

I love this place. This became a monthly go to for my fiancé and I. Food is good and reasonably priced. the staff is nice and loves regulars. Absolutely come here!!! read more

Bumping to 5 stars! Can't go wrong with the combo dinner for 2 in your choice of meat or vegetarian! Prices increased a little, but well worth it! We've been ordering from here for years and never ever had a bad experience. Meat combo for 2 at $38.99 gets you naan bread, lentil bread, samosas, tiki masala, chicken tandoori, sag paneer, rice, raita, pickled spicy onion condiment and a minty cilantro like condiment. Literally could feed 3 people with this! Absolutely love it here! read more

Foods were good, very flavorful. A quick service too. We will try different dishes next time.

I have not yet had the experience of dining in, but we order for pick up quite often. The food is consistently good, I mean really good. The shrimp tikka masala and the palak paneer are some of our favorite dishes. We literally can't eat enough of this food. read more

Overall: Located at a unique point but the food could use some variety and flavor. I didn't find it very authentic, but it did hit it spot because we were hungry read more

Kamal Palace - Indian Near Me - North Arlington, New Jersey

I am a frequent customer at this point. The food is delicious and makes you feel at home. My husband and I always resort to Kamal's Palace bc they never disappoint!!! We often order the chicken tikka masala and goat masala. Customer service is amazing and very helpful. Great place to eat. Worth every penny in my opinion. read more

Ordered the chili chicken for lunch recently and you would think that for $14 it would come with rice. Come to find out - it's just the meat entree - so doesn't make sense for a lunch take out. Also found out they DO give out complimentary rice but no one bothered to ask me. Wish I would have known - or someone would have asked me. This place is just too expensive for what you get! read more

After reading my fellow Yelper's reviews, I decided to stop for lunch at this establishment serving Indian cuisine. Located off of Ridge Road in North Arlington, I had this cozy restaurant with one other patron to ourselves. Parking is available in front of their small private lot shared among other business. My server was Muthu and owner of the restaurant. We exchanged a few words and was very helpful with my order. Complimentary roti flat bread was offered with 2 sides of chutneys (peppers and cilantro with mint). For an appetizer, I went for the Samosa Vegetable consisting of two pieces of a crispy turnover filled with mildly spiced potato & peas. These came out hot and very flavorful. One could eat these without the chutneys. For the main meal, I ordered the Chicken Makhni (Indian butter chicken) - boneless chicken cooked in mild cream sauce with butter and eggs served with basmati rice. The chicken was moist, tasty and delicious mixed with the spices. All in all good size portions, extremely fair prices and to be realistic may wait a few minutes for your meal whether you're dining in or taking out, but it's worth the wait. I recommend this place. read more

5/5! Loved this Indian restaurant! The food was so good! The one item I would recommend everyone to get is the Puri bread. This was a deep fried puff bread that was so good especially with the curry. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala which was amazing. It was the right amount of sweetness and paired so nicely with the rice and bread. I got it mild spicy and it wasn't even spicy at all. So if you want some spice go with medium or hot. The rice pudding was also really delicious! It was a bit too sweet for my liking but everyone else on my table loved it. I loved the complimentary chips and sauce they gave us. The sauce was super good. Definitely a must try and must go to place of your on New Jersey and looking to eat good curry or Indian food. read more

WTH happened to my precious Kamal. My favorite Indian restaurant in the world?! We had been ordering or eating at Kamal for 9 years or so. I raved about this place to anyone and everyone interested in Indian food. Even after moving away from the Kearny area and being far away, I would stop by to pick up food. Last night my husband drove all the way up (tolls were paid and it used to be worth it) to get food and we were so disappointed :( sorry but this is not Kamal's. This place has to be under new ownership because everything we order tasted different and bland. Every single item was very different. The sauces, the rice, the chicken madras and the chicken daiwala. Even the mango Lasi was different, way too sweet. I even asked for spicy dahiwala and it was not spicy at all. Never wasting my time or money heading up there again. I didn't give it a lower rating because it's not like the food wasn't edible, it was just so blah and so different. Either the change happened recently, or the people reviewing this place recently are trying it for the first time and think the taste is normal. This is heartbreaking, it's the end of an era and now I have to be on the search of the next best thing :( read more

Delicious food! Great helpful service, and calm comfortable ambiance! We got Lamb Biryani, Sag Paneer, Tomato Soup, Gobi Manchurian and Samosas- everything I would recommend. The Gobi Manchurian was exactly as spicy as I hoped, the Tomato soup was unexpectedly delicious, and the Samosas and Sag Paneer were perfect. read more

Very good Indian food. We order from them all the time. Lamb Korma is my favorite. Definitely recommend.

Had their Mulligatawny soup with garlic naan. Was really good but was a little disappointed thought the soup would also have lentil and some whole veggies in it.

This restaurant was absolutely delicious! I recently moved to the area and still haven't found an Indian restaurant that compares to my old favorite, but this takes the cake! Everything I had was full of flavor...I will definitely be a frequent visitor here. Not to mention everything is VERY reasonably priced. I fed a family of 4 for only $100 and we had plenty of leftovers. My favorite meal was the chicken tikka masala so if you're looking for something to try I would definitely recommend that first. My sister is a very picky eater and even she loved it! All of the main courses come with rice as well so there is no need to order extra rice! Very authentic, very delicious, 10/10 meal! read more
