Came back after 9 years for a lunch buffet and regret that decision !! Everything in their limited buffet menu was soo bad and also wasn't FRESH at all!! Chicken Curry tasted sweet & weird, Chicken Tandoori was stale, Dal Makhni was tasteless and basically everything else was a huge disappointment! I'm being very honest when I say this is one of the worst Indian buffet experiences I had in my life so far and I feel bad giving this review because of the lady working there was very friendly but their food is just terrible !!! read more

We started with the samosas. They were two huge samosas and came with two sauces that were very good. I like the tamarin sauce the best. We tried the Lamb Biryani. It was quite delicious and it came with a yogurt sauce. The rice was well cooked and they were pretty generous chunks of lamb. We also got the non-vegetarian dinner platter which for $25 was a pretty good deal and definitely something to share if you want to try each of the dishes. We got the Lamb Curry, which was delicious. The Tandoori Chicken which was very moist. My favorite was the Palak Paneer. The meal also came with Dal, Naan, Raita and Basmati Rice. I think it was more than enough for one person. I got the mango lassi, which had a great consistency and wasn't too sweet. We also got the Salt lassi, which had a very interesting taste, but was pretty good. Overall, we have plenty of food to take home and enjoyed our experience. We also like that there's parking in the back so you don't have to fight for a street parking. read more

The food was delicious, fresh, flavorful and very affordable. The restaurant was clean and spacious and plenty of parking available.We really enjoyed our meal and definitely recommend this place.to anyone looking for Indian restaurant in Pasadena. read more

The food is just not good. How do you go wrong with a Tika Masala and veggie Khorma. Lacking a lot of flavour. The actual tandoori chicken breast in the gravy was good and tender, there was a lot of chicken too, but the gray/souce which should have pungent flavours were very lacking and bland. I'm sad and disappointed. read more

New Delhi Palace is intimate and tranquil. The service is quick and the food is incredible! Huge fan of their Chicken Makhni! The garlic Naan is remarkably soft and fluffy! Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms but that pink soap is awful! Forgivable when the food is as flavorful as it is! A huge plus is the free parking structure behind the joint. Rare for LA. read more

First time trying this restaurant and decided to go the takeout route, which is a bold choice when you don't know how well the hot food will travel. I was super impressed with how everything was perfectly packaged and labeled. No spillage and it made it home still hot and fresh. The food itself was delicious but my favorite was the vegetable pakora. Would recommend! read more

New Delhi Palace - Vegetable Pakora Vegetable Samosa Vegetarian Dinner - Indian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Gastro-intestinal distress. Buffet food is watered down to make it last longer. Rice pudding was sour. Flavors are mediocre. Naan was good. They should probably get rid of the buffet- it's not doing them any favors except upsetting stomachs. 2 stars because the ambience is fine and the service is fine. read more

This was worst Indian buffet if have ever experienced. It wasn't busy at all. There was lamb curry, tandoori chicken, chicken curry and some others I have never had before and did not look appetizing at all. I asked if it would be possible to get chicken tikka masala or butter chicken. At first there was no answer, the staff just walked away into the kitchen. I asked again and was told this is what we have today. I had to wait for another portion of curry chicken to come out. Ridiculous for only 3 ppl on the dining room. Naan was fresh. We asked for garlic naan which had no flavor. Had to ask for water refills. Not a great experience! For $20, this was worth it at all! read more

What is disappointment? The lunch buffet was. When I walked in, I asked what the price was, expecting it to be $17 like someone posted last month. The gentleman told me $19. When the bill arrived it was actually $19.57. As other reviewers have mentioned, the food was on the bland side. It did not have unique flavors compared to other places the garlic naan was excellent. Service was just OK. I had to ask for more water and there were no spoons on the buffet for the dessert. read more

2 chicken dishes + 2x garlic naan was more than enough for 2 people. had leftovers for next day Chicken Tikka Masala -super delicious, super creamy and thick, uses chicken breast- like cuts so meat is firm. Great paired with garlic naan or some kinda carb as it is very saucy! Chicken Mango Curry -also super delicious, kind of like tomato bisque (in the kindest way) with the sweetness and puree like texture. Such a good combo of sweet and salty. As a non cilantro lover the cilantros in the dish didnt bother me at all Garlic naan- stretchy chewy garlicky amazing takeout took about 30 min on a tuesday 8pm service was simple and straightforward, u ask it they give it interior is quiet, dark and ambient with lots of seating read more

This place had delicious food, and the ambiance was really nice since the restaurant is located on the second floor of the building and you can see out. The service was attentive, and I'll definitely go back! read more

This was a fantastic experience. From the first bite of our vegetable Samosas I knew the flavor profiles would be outstanding. The service was fantastic looks like a small family runs it sweet kind attentive people. The food was finger licking good. Chicken Tandoori and Chicken Massala and chanamasala with the Garic Naan were perfection this will be a new regular spot for us. read more

Came here for their lunch buffet on a Sunday, we noticed this place after grabbing food at Hummus Labs and decided to give it a try since it's close by. Parking is usually not a problem in the upper lot of the structure and the stairs lead right to the restaurant. It was not busy at all when we arrived close to noon so we got a table right away. I don't know if their selection changes daily or occasionally but was a little disappointed they didn't have butter chicken or tikka masala that day. So I tried the chicken curry, potatoes, pakoras, chili chicken and lamb curry. The chili chicken was super dry and over cooked. The lamb and chicken curry was a bit bland. I also found the pakora way too full of nothing but onions which I'm not a fan of. The naan that came was fresh and hot although again a little bland, could barely taste the garlic. For dessert they had gulab jaman but it was cold instead of hot which is not NH preference. For $22.99 before tax and tip, I was left pretty unimpressed. I prob would've given them another shot if it was a little cheaper, maybe their other dishes are better but have a hard justifying $29/pp after tax and tip for pretty mediocre food. It's a shame because I was looking forward to having an Indian buffet spot close by (we typically go to a spot in Rosemead which is pretty out of the way). read more

First things first, the food was fine. It wasn't anything outstanding but also wasn't bad. The mango lassi had small bits of paper in it though which was a bit concerning. The thing that made the experience bad was the service. This was something none of us had experienced before and just left a bad taste in our mouths. Our server was not the friendliest or most helpful server. We asked for recommendations on the menu and weren't given an answer, just a "well what do you want?" The restaurant only had a couple groups dining in and service wasn't attentive where we constantly had to waive someone down to get a refill of water. It became bad when we were mid meal and continuously asked if we were finished eating and wanted to pack our food. We had only been there for maybe 30 minutes and showed no signs of being finished. And mind you, there was no rush or wait and the restaurant wasn't closing for another two hours. When we eventually started packing our leftovers and were busy doing so, our server stood there asking us to hand her our plates and utensils. Instead of waiting for us to leave, or picking them up herself, she asked every single person at the table to pick up specific items for her to put away. Not in a friendly way either. There were multiple occasions where she would cut our conversations to make us pick something up and hand to her. Unfortunately, a worker like this leaves us with no desire to return to dine here again. Nobody should be rushed to finish their food then be demanded to help clean the table. read more

Absolutely fantastic flavors in every dish we've tried. They have great vegetarian options throughout the menu, and the paneer kadhai is not one to miss! Nice ambiance in the restaurant and fairly priced as well. read more

Service is good! They took like.. 30 minutes to prepare the food. I would recommend ordering ahead. They play soft Indian music which is a nice vibe.. also some kind of thin bread appetizer for free. - Chicken Coconut Curry 5/5 AMAZING. I asked them to make it 10/10 spicy and they did just that! It tasted amazing. It was very rich and flavorful and spicy! [RECOMMEND] - Lamb Tikka Masala 2.9/5 Lamb is very tender and delicious. The sauce however has too much tomato taste. - Tandoori Chicken 4.5/5 The chicken was very tender and had good charcoal taste. - Garlic Naan 4/5 I've had better naan, but definitely a staple to get with the curry! You also have to order basmati rice on the side. Free upper deck parking in the structure! read more

My lovely Pasadena friends treated me to dinner here after a hectic drive from San Diego. Everything was delicious: lamb korma, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala, mango ice cream. Wait staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back read more

I came to this restaurant with some of my co-workers for lunch the other day. It is located on the 2nd floor so you'll have to walk through a flight of stairs to get here... not too bad. It is an Indian food buffet. The food selections are okay, but the flavors were lacking a little bit... kinda bland. Portions that they bring out every time was kinda low. I wanted to get some of the meats & veggies and they were gone really fast. Anyway, one of the chicken items was tender and delicious though... I just don't remember which one... sauce was yellow with chucks of dark chicken meat that's all I remember... probably chicken curry LOL. I didn't care for the chicken tikka masala as the chicken was dry and tough. Naan bread was good, but I didn't taste any garlic though. The spice level was just right for me since I tend to normally go for medium spice. Staff was friendly and pleasant. Buffet price was a little high for the food selections IMHO. Ambiance was quaint... love the artwork! They have plenty of space for group gatherings. You're more than welcome to give them a try. Happy Dining! read more

Delicious. The food was wonderful, even after sitting in my car for 15 minutes on my way home. Highly recommend this place. Thanks for an awesome Saturday night dinner New Delhi Palace. read more

My boyfriend and I got out of the movie theatre across the street, and as we were walking back to our car we saw this Indian restaurant on the second floor of the plaza. We also saw that all the tables were incredibly full and were intrigued. On a whim, we decided to pop in and eat here. We were immediately seated and we decided on what to get. I'll admit, I'm not well versed in Indian food so I got the basic chicken tikka masala while my boyfriend got the chicken tandoori. We also got the garlic naan as well. The chicken tikka masala was SO good. The sauce wasn't too creamy for my taste and it was seasoned well. The chicken tandoori was a bit of a miss for me. It was pretty juicy for it being chicken breast but when the dish ended up cooling down, it was just too dry. The seasoning was good but I wish I had a sauce that I could dip it in. I would come back again though, the service was great, the restaurant interior smelled AMAZING, and the garlic naan was delicious. read more

Still ordering here. Food is good. I do have a tip though. My wife was unpacking the food from our most recent delivery and said "Wow! They gave us twice as much chicken pakoras as they usually do!" and I had to tell her that it's because when I unpack the food, I eat half of them before calling her to the dinner table. So guys, don't make my mistake. Eat what you want *before* telling everyone the food has arrived :-). read more

It was food. We were there for dinner, but there was no one else there. The restaurant is clean, and the background music is nice and not too loud. The service was good; however, the menu recommendations came with some items that were lost in translation. Not every dish is a hit; some were big misses. For instance, the well-known chicken tikki masala was not good at all; it tasted off, and the color was off too. Other dishes were okay, and the price is average for an Indian restaurant. We also ordered medium, but it felt mild at best. We came here without expectations, more of an evaluation, but we can't say that we'll go back read more

Hands down one of the best Indian Restaurants I've been to. I've been here several times but the buffet is the way for me. The food was freshly laid out and the Tandori Chicken was GRREAT. Some places cook it too hard but not this place, just right. I thought the price was right for $19.00. Everything has gone up these days, but I thought it was worth it. The service was good too. The waitress was very polite and pleasant and parking is in back, I usually park on the street if I can. Again, the buffet never has disappointed me yet. Great food!!!! Keep up the good work For Real Yvette R. read more

I would go back again...Thank You New Delhi Palace for having us. read more

I LOVE this place because they are one of the few restaurants with stuff bread. The lady was super nice and she explained to me that naan is made with milk, but paratha, roti, and poori are vegan! You can even ask them to make the stuffed breads with paratha if you want to avoid dairy. For example, the onion kulcha is made naan, but you can ask them to make it with paratha. It's healthier anyway :) They have a vegan section on the new menu and a vegetarian section for those that eat dairy. Competent staff. So considerate. They wear masks when most of the world has stopped in the middle of the pandemic. Much appreciated! Restaurant located on the second floor on the left (if entering from the staircase on Colorado Blvd). My only complaint is that the Bengan Bartha had peas that were not listed in the menu. Some people don't like peas. Please put that in the description in the menu. read more

I moved out of town and have missed New Delhi Palace so much. I think my appreciation of NDP has grown over the years as I've continued to try a number of other Indian restaurants and just haven't experienced the same rich flavors. NDP Samosas are so delicious. Crispy fried outside, tender potato/peas/spices inside, pour some tamarind sauce over the top. Devine. Their Palak Paneer is my all-time favorite. I've never experienced it better elsewhere. Both the spinach and cheese cubes are perfect in texture and flavor. Smother a big piece of Naan with Palak Paneer and it's heaven. I just wish my local Indian restaurant was so tasty. I'll keep trying to find a restaurant out my way, but the ease of pick up tonight on my way home from work, made me realize that's the ticket. read more

This place is soooo delicious! I got the butter chicken, garlic naan, and samosas... Neag was also very helpful. I got takeout but it was very cute, and might dine in next time! read more

Love this Indian restaurant. We have been coming here for years and have always had great service. The food is really good and well flavored. Their buffet is especially nice with a large variety of dishes. I was surprised to see the lower ratings and realized I have never rated this restaurant. My recent discovery is the complementary chai tea with the buffet. We usually get mango lassi, but it was a cold day so I got the tea instead and I think it will be my new go to. read more

I'm so glad we found this place! There are so many Indian restaurants in the area, but their prices are way higher than I'm used to. But New Delhi Palace has a great Platter option that is a little bit of everything delicious and a great portion for 2 people. Everything was made really well, with quality seasoning, and well-balanced. Naan tasted great and had an awesome, fluffy texture. Tandoori chicken was juicy and not dry at all. Locating the restaurant was not super obvious though. It's on the second floor of the shopping center. There's a staircase in the middle of the complex, and then you need to take a hard U-turn to the left to get to the door of the restaurant. It's fun to get to eat on a 2nd story restaurant, great view of the foothills at sunset :) Great service and excellent food, I think this place will become a regular spot for us! read more

Very tasty classic north Indian style Indian lunch buffet for $17 per person. Easy parking on the second level in the rear of this second floor restaurant. Favorite dishes that were there included dal, palak paneer, tandoori chicken, chicken curry, chicken makhani, white rice, salads, chutney, good rice pudding for dessert. And it included naan. read more

Nice people but the buffet was lacking in flavor. I think the separate entrees are probably much better. It's hard to make quantity with quality. read more

We came in on a Saturday during lunch time and was not offered the lunch menu. It wasn't until I specifically asked for the lunch menu did they bring it out. I didn't appreciate that. There're way fewer options on the lunch menu now which is disappointing. We got the lamb curry and chicken tikka masala. One in mild and the other is medium. Neither were spicy. Each came with rice, naan, 2 veggie dishes. The 2 veggie dishes were delicious. The curries were okay and not spicy. The lamb was chewy. Free parking in the private lot behind the restaurant. But there used to be a few, so maybe it's a covid thing? read more

The bathrooms here are atrocious no thank you!! There's a difference between ratchet, old, and atrocious. New Daily Palace definitely falls into the atrocious. Human excrement stains all over. The cleanliness and respect for your bathroom speaks to the respect one has to oneself as an institution and speaks to the respect they have to their customers. Customers be aware that you are not respected here. You are better off going to any other restaurant in that plaza. read more

This was my first time getting food from this restaurant. Food was good. I ordered medium spice and it definitely had a little kick but tolerable. Hot would have been too hot for me. So if you are not used to spicy, my suggestion is choose no spice. My sister also ordered from there. I spent $50 on my food hoping to serve a family of 3, 2 Adults and a one child. My sister spent $27 on a chicken dinner. As she was driving over she commented that her bag felt sooo much heavier than mine. I quickly asked had they given her a receipt, did she check her bag and thought she must have mistaken my bag for hers. Nope! She literally had more food than I did and dessert. So to those reading get a dinner don't do anything a la carte. You won't be disappointed in the food but I was disappointed that I spent more than she did and got so much less. read more

Great food. We went on a weekday night on the recommendation of a local who have been there before. We ordered Samosas and Samosa Chat - both excellent. Also the regular naan, garlic naan & naan with fruit. Each had a fan within our group of 6. For the main course, we ordered fish vindaloo, mango curry chicken (our favorite of the bunch), an eggplant dish, chana sag (spinach) and another chicken dish + rice. Excellent service - and they threw in 2 deserts for free. We would definitely go back if we travel to Pasadena again. read more
