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!

Service was friendly, professional and not overbearing. We started off with Chicken Tikka. A+, and the tamarind and mint sauces were spot on. Or onion kulcha was perfect also. The ONLY downside was my Lamb Biryani. Though tasted great and medium-hot as I requested, it seemed like there wasn't nearly as much lamb as previous times we've been there. Also, it tasted very heavily salted. We shall certainly be back.

Not only was the food out of this world, but Gloria our server was wonderful, fantastic, and an absolute delight! My friend and I live 2 and a half hours away in the Memphis area and the Indian food we have tried there does not compare. Maharani will probably become a monthly meal! I have lived in St. Louis, Louisville, and near Indianapolis- I've never had better Indian food! Gloria, thanks for being a bright light tonight! Your joy is such a delight! You are absolute gold and you deserve the highest of raises! Thank you for serving us so well! And to the chef- thank you for making such thoughtful and tasteful dishes! You both make this 2 and a half hour drive worth it!

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.

That was a little bit of a downer just because you can sample various things to see what you like when there's a buffet. That didn't stop us though.

Found myself downtown around lunchtime and finally decided it was time to check out Zayka -- and…read morewow, I'm glad I did. From the outside, you'd never guess how spacious it is inside. 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.

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!

I recently went to India Palace in Springfield, MO for the lunch buffet, and the food was…read moreoutstanding. The moment you walk in, the smell of spices hits you and you know you're in for something good. The buffet itself was excellent. There was a solid variety of dishes, all kept hot and fresh. The butter chicken was creamy and perfectly seasoned, the chicken tikka masala had tender pieces of chicken in a rich, flavorful sauce, and the lamb curry had a deeper, more robust taste that really stood out. The tandoori chicken was juicy and well-spiced, and the naan was soft, warm, and just slightly charred the way it should be. Vegetarian options like palak paneer and chana masala were also very good and didn't feel like filler. Everything tasted authentic and carefully prepared. The only strange part was the service. It felt a bit off and inconsistent--staff seemed distracted at times and the interactions were a little awkward. Nothing major or rude, just weird enough to notice. Even with the odd service, the food more than made up for it. If you're mainly going for the buffet, India Palace is still an easy recommendation. I'll be back for the food.

I mean.....I've already had dinner earlier at Effingham Illinois....at the China Buffett....and just driving my rig on the i44 interstate, something got the best of me...I was lured into this parking lot for some of the BEST Garlic Naan and Butter Chicken anyone can ask for at 10 PM CST. Tis why in my check-in post I called out for Ozempic....I think I need some prescriptions....this is truly eater overkill....Chinese Buffett Supper meets Mumbai Late Night Snackery.... So what I do is Spread the Butter Chicken on the fresh Garlic Naan and BOOM! I wrap it like a burrito and it is mouthful Bliss! On a side note Trucking Industry needs to stop hating on Indian People...the Patels and the Guptas make quality comfort foods alright! Yes there are a few unqualifying drivers that pose a risk to public safety and the Industry has Nicknamed them FlipFlops, but, think about it this way...how will America function ...without Indian Gas Station Owners and Indian Motel/ Hotel operators in the middle of bumf*ck nowhere across the United States.... seriously food for thought right there~ Someone ask Nimesh for his standup social commentary~

Love indian food, well versed in it. Was curious what chicken tandoori on naan would be like. Greek tzatziki sauce on the naan under the chicken? Ok. I guess. Fried Frozen Samosas? No. Everything seemed overpriced for what it was. The menu was all over the place attempting to cover their bases and do everything. Chicken Fried steak, Salmon, Burgers, etc. For the only attempt at Indian dishes in Batesville, it's barely recognizable/passable and overpriced.
